Adding few new fields to Custom infotype already developed

Hi
I have a requirement to add new fields to already available custom infotype. I have to edit the PS structure and add few fields there and activate it. My question is, when I tick on "Generate Objects" after maintaining the PS structure, it will show pop up boxes asking whether to overwrite those objects already exists, shall I tick it or exit? Because the code is already written in the module pool for some validations,if I regenerate the objects, will the complete code will be erased?
Please guide me in this regard.
Thanks,
Pallavi.

Hi,
Yes you need to regenerate objects, for changes to reflect.
Since the objects are regenrated, the custom validation codes should get overwritten.
To be on safe side, you can copy this infotype to a dummy infotype and regenerate the code and check.

Enhancement Adding a new field to a infotype

We are implementing E-Recruiting and trying to a new field to a existing infotype 5107. On the E-Recruiting page there are three frield that already exist. Country, State and City these field also in infotype 5107 too. Country and State both are dropdown box. I have to set the default value for Country to 'USA' and State to 'AZ' where can i set this? The new field will display location "county" which the user will be able to select multiple locations. I know i would have to go PM01 to add the new field to the infotype 5107. But i'm missing the third that will allow me to do this. There's IT, IT Version, IT (i don't have this on my SAP Gui). I'm not sure what to do next after I created this new field. how can put this new field this the E-recruiting webpage?

Matthew,
You can enhance your infotype 5107 from tcode 'PPCI' not 'PM01'.

Adding field from Custom Infotype in Screen Header-PA30

Hi all,
Can we add the fields from custom infotype to the screen header in PA30? When I tried through Change Screen Modifications, I could not see the custom infotype in the Infotype column, so I could not select the required field.
Please guide.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
When you take a drop down from the infotype column, you will see a window with infotypes. By default, it is restricted to 500 entries. To change that, click on the narrow bar under u201Crestrictionsu201D (has a downward arrow) and change the maximum number of hits to 999. You will then get all the infotypes including the custom ones.
Hope this helps.

Adding a new field to search of Service Contracts

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement where in to add an existing field i.e your ref (sold_to) your_ref_sold field into the search criteria of Service Contrct .
How to add the field to the Search .
I have few questions here.
1 need I use EEW to add the field to Search but its already existing?
2 If not How to append the Structure crmst_query_src_btil and enhace it with field required?
3 how to implement the BADI crm_rf_search_eew?
Thanking You,

The search help exit allows you to modify functionality of search help. If you add a new field to the
parameter list that is not contained on the selection method you can manually populate it within the search
help exit.
This would be performed within the u2018STEP DISPu2019 section. Once within this section all search help
data has been retrieved and is stored in table RECORD_TAB (record_tab-string) as one long string value.
Therefore you need to read table SHLP in-order to locate position of value within string.
Example:
To find position of personnel number (PERNR) within elemenory search
help M_PREMN you would use the following code:
Loop at record_tab.
     read table shlp-fielddescr into wa_shlp
                                   with key tabname   = 'M_PREMN'
                                            fieldname = 'PERNR'.
You could then use this information in the following way, for
example, to find a persons organisation unit:
      select orgeh endda
        up to 1 rows
        from pa0001
        into (ld_orgeh,ld_endda)
       where pernr eq record_tab-string+wa_shlp-offset(8)
                                                  u201Cpernr length is 8
       order by endda descending.
      endselect.
      select single orgtx
        from t527x
        into ld_orgtxt
       where orgeh eq ld_orgeh and
             sprsl eq sy-langu and
           ( endda ge sy-datum and
             begda le sy-datum ).
If you have added a new field to the end of the parameters list
the next step is to populate it by adding this data to the end of
the record_tab string:
concatenate record_tab-string ld_orgtxt into record_tab-string.
modify record_tab.
endloop.

Addition of new fields to existing Infotype: Error in Quality Server.

Hi Experts,
I have added new fields by adding custom include to Infotype 4000 using t-Code PM01. It is working perfectly fine in DEV. But, in QLT, the custom Include is not attached to the P4000 structure. Independently, CI_P4000 exists in QLT.
I have checked all the Transport Requests, nothing is missing. However, The structure of P4000 is not getting modified as per requirement. What should I do?

Hi Experts,
The Error was coming with Infotype 4000. I tried adding the same field by updating Infotype 4001 and it worked. So, I have used that only, and my requirement is fulfilled.
But, I am still not sure if we can add field in similar way in Infotype 4000.
Thanks to all for providing me with possible solutions!!

SAP Work Manager customization - adding a new field to equipment details screen (Syclo Agentry)

Hi Experts,
I am trying to add a field (NAME1) on the Equipment details screen under work orders in work manager 5.3 application.
I have performed the following steps, but I am getting an error while connecting to the application.
1) Create extension for Equipment class to add a new field.
2) added the new field (Name1) as the property to the standard object Equipment.
3) Added the field on the screen.
4) Added the field (name1) to the complex table ctEquipment.
5) Added the JAR file to Agentry.ini file.
6) Changed the Class mapping for parameter "Equipment" under group "SAPOBJECT" to point it to the custom (Extended) class.
7) Changed the class mapping for complex table parameter "ctEquipment" under group "CT_SAPOBJECT" to point it to the custom class.
8) after publishing the changes and re-starting the server, I get following error.
the log file generated (message.log) also has the same description.
What am I missing here? Any help would be really appreciated.

Hi Emanuel,
Thanks for looking into this issue.
I have performed the following steps as suggested by you, still it doesn't seem to work and gives the same error.
Below are the changes done on the ECC Side.
1) Copied the standard equipment class /SYCLO_CL_PM_EQUIPMENT1_DO to custom class ZSYCLO_CL_PM_EQUIPMENT1_DO. Changes made in the GET Method to get custom equipment related data
2) Modified the standard equipment structure /SYCLO/PM_EQUI_STR by adding one custom field
3) Configured this custom class as the object handler in the equipment mobile data object
4) Configured this custom class as the object handler for the equipment complex table
5) We are still using the standard BAPI Wrapper itself for getting the equipment data and the added field is reflected in the BAPI Wrapper table parameter
Is there something we are missing?

Adding a new field to the Address Data for a business partner

Hi Experts,
I am trying to add a new custom field to the address data (all structures and tables) that is linked to a business partner on SAP CRM via EEWB. Structure is the address structure wthin BUS_EI_EXTERN. Table is BUT020. I have been told that it is not possible as there is no Business Object that allows this. When doing an EEWB, the only business object is BUPA, which when selected, adds the new custom field to BUT000. I would like the field to be added to BUT020 (Address Table). This leads me to believe that there is no standard way of doing this, which ultimatley means that it would need to be done manually. Please help me with this predicament.

Error while resetting release of segment 'segment name'.

Have you tried Cancelling the release before adding the version?
Select the active version of the IDOC Segment and cancel its release first. Only then you will be able to add a version.
Please let me know if it worked!

Adding a new field to a Z table

We have a Z table on which we have created a datasource. We have created a virtual cube on this datasource and queries are built on this cube. This setup is present on Dev, Quality and Prod environment.
Now we have added a new field to the Z table in Dev. We will be creating a new Infoobject for this new field and will be adding it in the Virtual Infoprovider and also in the queries.
1. Do we need to replicate the datasource so that newly added field is visible to the datasource? If no, is there any way?
2. When I have to transport this to Quality and Prod, do I have to capture all the components and objects (Table,Datasoure,Virtual Cube Queries)? If no, what should I capture in the transport request?

Hi,
First, you have to regenerate the datasource in order to add the field:
1) Log on to source system (where Z table is stored) and go to transaction RSA6.
2) Select the root node and click Expand (icon with '+' sign).
3) Search for your datasource (you can use the binoculars icon).
4) Click on Change.
5) Verify that the field appears on the list. Make sure that "Hide field" and "Field only known on client exit" options are not marked for this field.
6) Click on Save.
7) Select "Datasource" -> "Generate" (CTRL+S) menu option.
8) Use RSA3 transaction in order to verify the new field appears on test extractions.
Then, to replicate the datasource in BI:
1) Log on to SAP BI and go to RSA1 transaction.
2) Go to "Modeling" -> "DataSources" section.
3) Search for your datasource and right click on it. Select "Replicate metadata" from context menu.
4) Add the new InfoObject to the VirtualProvider.
5) Update the transformation which joins the DataSource to the VirtualProvider.
As far as transport requests are concerned, even though it requires more work, it is a good practice to group objects in different transport requests according to their type:
In the source System (R3 for instance):
1) One transport request with the table.
2) One transport request with the datasource and its structure.
In BI:
1) One transport order with the datasource replica.
2) One transport order with the new InfoObject(s).
3) One transport order with the modified VirtualProvider.
4) One transport order with the modified transformations from the datasource towards the VirtualProvider.
5) One transport order with the Queries and their elements.
I hope this helps you.

Maximiliano
