Header Table

Item table with Check Table option

Here Item has check table option which is presenting the foreign key relationship with Header  ZHEADER_VBAK table.

Header Table Code 
@EndUserText.label : 'Sales Order Header'
@AbapCatalog.enhancementCategory : #NOT_EXTENSIBLE
@AbapCatalog.tableCategory : #TRANSPARENT
@AbapCatalog.deliveryClass : #A
@AbapCatalog.dataMaintenance : #ALLOWED
define table zheader_vbak {
  key mandt              : abap.clnt not null;
  key vbeln              : vbeln not null;
  erdat                  : abap.dats;
  ernam                  : abap.char(12);
  vkorg                  : abap.char(4);
  vtweg                  : abap.char(2);
  spart                  : abap.char(2);
  @Semantics.amount.currencyCode : 'zheader_vbak.waerk'
  netwr                  : abap.curr(13,2);
  waerk                  : abap.cuky;
  faksk                  : abap.char(2);
  last_changed_timestamp : timestampl;

}

Item Table Code
@EndUserText.label : 'Item Table'
@AbapCatalog.enhancementCategory : #NOT_EXTENSIBLE
@AbapCatalog.tableCategory : #TRANSPARENT
@AbapCatalog.deliveryClass : #A
@AbapCatalog.dataMaintenance : #ALLOWED
define table zitem_vbap {
  key mandt              : abap.clnt not null;
  @AbapCatalog.foreignKey.screenCheck : false
  key vbeln              : vbeln not null
    with foreign key [1..*,1] zheader_vbak
      where mandt = zitem_vbap.mandt
        and vbeln = zitem_vbap.vbeln;
  key posnr              : abap.numc(6) not null;
  matnr                  : abap.char(18);
  arktx                  : abap.char(40);
  @Semantics.amount.currencyCode : 'zitem_vbap.waerk'
  netpr                  : abap.curr(13,2);
  @Semantics.amount.currencyCode : 'zitem_vbap.waerk'
  netwr                  : abap.curr(13,2);
  waerk                  : abap.cuky;
  @Semantics.quantity.unitOfMeasure : 'zitem_vbap.kmein'
  kpein                  : abap.quan(13,2);
  kmein                  : abap.unit(3);
  last_changed_timestamp : timestampl;

}
