TIP: Order status tables uncovered

We often need to look at the VBUP (Item) and VBUK (Header) tables to see what the status of our order or delivery is. PS: Using SAP EM to track your order status has far more functions and features available to you (see blog on Q Data USA).
In this blog posting I highlight the key fields in VBUP and VBUK that I commonly use in the OTC process.
