How to add Z fields from VBPA in datasource 2LIS_11_VAITM in delta mode

Question

Hi All,
I'm looking for a method to add Z fields from VBPA (ie order reponsible , account manager , ..) in the datasource 2LIS_11_VAITM
Of course these fields should be filled in delta process
Thanks for your help

Hi,
You would have to enhance the extract structure and write code to populate this:
1.1 First alwas Check if fields can't be added using the standard method - Logistics Cockpit (LBWE)
1.1. Don't think you would be able to fields from table VBPA though which means you have to enhance the extract structure:
2.1 RSA6 - Enhance Datasource
2.2 Double Click on Datasource
2.3 Double Click on Extract Structure
2.4. Click Append Structure & give a name for the append strcture
2.5. Add Z-Fields prefixed with "ZZ"
2.6. Save & Activate
3. Enhance Datasource (RSA6)
3.1 New fields are hidden automatically and you must un-tick "hide" check box
3.2 Save the datasource
3. Write Code in Transaction CMOD or BADI (SE19) to popoule the Z-Fields.
If you search for "enhance 2LIS_11_VAITM" in forum you should get a lot of example on how to do this.
4. Test in RSA3 that your Z-Fields are populated.
5. Replicate Datsource on BW side to ensure that new fields are transfered from the Source System.
6. Maintain Infosource, Transfer Rules, Infocube and Update Rules for the new fields.
Hope it helps.
