Introduction of additional customer fields in productive system

Dear experts,
in the SAP help and OSS-notes (SAP Note 891144) it is strongly recommended NOT to introduce additonal customer fields for the new General Ledger Accounting in already productive systems. I would like to know if this because of technical  reasons , e.g. field creation or assignment is technically not possible because transaction data is already in the system, or because of  the problemsfor the reporting when the fields are not correctly filled .
Thanks a lot.

Hello,
In my opinion, the purpose of this OSS note 891144 is to inform about the risk when you Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger. In that customizing point, the 2 fields zero balance and mandatory field must be ticked in order to avoid any consistancies related mainly to document posting without profit center, Bus Area or Segment ...
If document splitting is activated, means document must be posted with profit center (or Bus Area or Segment if they are activated) information in order to have correct info and correct reports
But please contact SAP directly if you have problems regarding this
Best regards
Tarek

  • Search on the custom field in Product doesn't work

    Hello everyone!
    Lately I was configuring additional custom field for product header and succeed. Then I wanted to add this field as a search criteria for product search and I followed help on help.sap.com and note 1026956. Here are the steps I did:
    1. I've extended structures CRMT_PRIL_QUERY_ADVSEARCH_PROD and CRMT_PRIL_QUERY_ADVSEARCH_IOBJ with my custom attribute.
    2. I went to Master Data->Products-> Basic Settings ->Add Attributes to Search Structure and added my custom attribute there.
    3. Then I found out that it's not enough and I should perform additional steps not included in note and help. I did these steps suggested by Shanthala Kudva in thread [Can't enable the extendable set type attributes in product search UI|Can't enable the extendable set type attributes in product search UI;.
    After that I was able to configure UI and see the search criteria, but when I try to search using custom field I get error message: "Search criteria PRODUCT_ANKER.ZCAT_NUMBER in scenario CL_CRM_PRSEARCHSCENARIO_GETLST not included in tool/filter"
    How to find out the reason of this behavior? Did I miss something in configuration?
    P.S. Set type called ZPRODUCT, attribute ZCATNUMBER. In structures appended component called ZCAT_NUMBER with component type ZCATNUMBER. In table CRMC_PRSEA_ATTR the record has the attributename ZCAT_NUMBER, attribute_id ZCATNUMBER. Maybe I messed up with that?
    Regards,
    Alex.

    Hi Alexander,
    I know this is an old post, but currently i am facing the same issue of not being able to see my custom fields in the BSP Component Workbench.
    I tried to follow all steps maintained in SAP Note # 10269656 & 1541480, but no luck.
    Can you please tell me what do you mean by "Should not add the extended attributes directly to Search Structure, as SAP expects the attributes to be in APPEND structure"? Can you please let me know how the values are to be maintained in the Search structure table "CRMC_PRSEA_ATTR", which is also accessed using the IMG Meanu path "Master Data -->  Products --> Basic Settings --> Add Attributes to Search Structure"
    Appreciate your help.

  • Mass update of a custom field at Product Revenue level

    We are trying to update a custom field at Product Revenue level using the Opportunity Web Service. The webservice call is timing out as we have thousands of Opportunities.
    I would appreciate if anybody gives input on how we can massively update a custom field using Opportunity Web Service.
    OR
    Is there a way to mass update a custom field at Product Revenue level other than using a web service.
    Thanks for your help!

    If you are not very much obsessed with Webservices, the other workaround is the Data Loader Tool. It was discussed earlier in this forum.

  • Replicating Custom Fields for Products in CRM  from ECC

    Hi All,
    I am having difficulty in replicating SAP standard field values from ECC to custom fields for products in CRM. This is what i did:
    1. I created a new settype(ZMASTER_INFO) with a single attribute(ZIND_STD) and added
        this new settype to MAT_HAWA. (As all our materials fall under this material type).
    2. I am looking to map SAP standard field from ECC to this custom field of mine.
        I wrote the code in CRM BADI 
        'ZPRODUCT_CUSTOMER2->MAP_R3_TO_CRM_MATERIAL' with the following code:
    DATA: ls_ZMASTER_INFO TYPE ZMASTER_INFO_maintain.
    DATA: ls_category_bdoc       TYPE COMT_PROD_CAT_REL_MAINTAIN,
          ls_category            TYPE COMT_PROD_CAT_REL,
          lt_categories          TYPE COMT_PROD_CAT_REL_TAB,
          ls_settype             TYPE COMT_settype_ext,
          ls_cat_settype_rel     TYPE COMT_CAT_FRAG_REL,
          lt_cat_settype_rel     TYPE COMT_CAT_FRAG_REL_TAB,
          lt_cat_settype_rel_all TYPE COMT_CAT_FRAG_REL_TAB.
    LOOP AT lt_cat_settype_rel_all INTO ls_cat_settype_rel.
          CALL FUNCTION 'COM_SETTYPE_READ_SINGLE'
            EXPORTING
              IV_SETTYPE_GUID         = ls_cat_settype_rel-frgtype_guid
            IMPORTING
              ES_SETTYPE              = ls_settype
           EXCEPTIONS
             NOT_FOUND               = 1
             NO_IMPORT_VALUES        = 2
             NO_TEXT_FOUND           = 3 .
          IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
            WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
          ENDIF.
      CASE ls_settype-frgtype_id.
          WHEN 'ZMASTER_INFO'.
          ls_ZMASTER_INFO-relation-owner = 'X'.
          ls_ZMASTER_INFO-relation-logsys = cs_product_bdoc-header-com_product-logsys.
          ls_ZMASTER_INFO-data-ZZ0010 = is_mara-STD_DESCR.
          ls_ZMASTER_INFO-DATA_X-ZZ0010 = 'X'.
          APPEND ls_ZMASTER_INFO TO cs_product_bdoc-data-ZMASTER_INFO.
          APPEND ls_settype-FRGTYPE_GUID TO cs_product_bdoc-data-MNT_SETTYPE.
       ENDCASE.
    ENDLOOP.
    Since in ECC i am not having any custom fields i did not write any code in ECC for TPS34 and TBE24. I just wrote this BADI in CRM and using the field S_MARA-STD_DESCR.
    I am not sure if i need to write the code in ECC. COUld anyone please confirm if i need the code in ECC?
    Also in the CRM BADI, lt_cat_settype_rel_all is EMPTY. Not sure how this gets its value.
    Could anyone please suggest if i am missing anything here? Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Karuna.

    Hi Karuna,
    One more solution is to change the BDoc data content before it hit the Database.
    this can be done in badi: Data_Exchange_badi (if u dont find this try with following search string: xchange)
    In the above mention badi you will find a method which is used to populated the contend jst after bdoc in CRM is being populated by R/3 data.

  • Adding custom field to product master general tab

    Hi All,
             i want to add a custom field in Product master creation (commpr01) ,could any one help me out on this !
    Many thanks and Regards.

    Hi
    You can create field using EEWB or follow the following simple process
    1. Create the required field as " attribute" using the tcode COMM_ATTRSET
    2. Assign it to a set type using the same tcode COMM_ATTRSET
    3. Assign this set type to the product category usign the tcode COMM_HIERARCHY in the set type tab and use the view ID as "BASIC"
    The field will then be available to you in the product master to the products with are created with the named product category
    Hope this helps

  • Add a custom field for Product Allocation

    Hi experts,
    I have copied S140 to S501 to add a custom field for product allocation.
    I have added the custom field in MCVBAKUSR, so it is visible in MCVBAK.
    However, I don't know whether I can populate data into custom field. I searched in forum, someone said it can be done in SAP enhancement MCS10001. But it can't work. I have tried to place a break-point in the code, and seems that throughout the order creation and product allocation check, it hasn't get into the codings in enhancement MCS10001.
    Can anyone give me some idea on it? Thanks.

    You should have simply extended VBAK table. It would've taken care of extending MCVBAK, etc. Then VBAK field would have to be populated in a user exit USEREXIT_CHECK_VBAK in MV45AFZB, when a document is being created/changed.

  • Adding Additional Custom Fields to Alerts

    in the Custom Fields tab of the alert properties, there are 10 custom fields. a few questions regarding "custom fields"
    is there a way to add addtional custom fields?
    can variables be placed in the custom fields so data that changes from alert to alert can be passed?
    is there a way to add additional custom fields and give them a more formal name (e.g. MyHomeGrownField)
    thanks.

    Yes you can put values in these custom fields. but you cannot change the field names to something else.
    Values can be put in these fields through OpsMgr PowerShell. Check the links -

  • Map Profit Center as custom field to product

    Hi,
    We want to map Profit Center(35 characters) to a custom field in product for some analysis. We want to map it to Custom Attribute 2 (XARLPROA2) this is a 40 character long field.
    We do not want to see this field in Reports in UI. Please let us know is this the right approach or would you suggest some other field to which wecan map Profit Center.
    Regards
    Neel

    Hi Neel
    I am assuming that you are referring to display attribute and not navigation attribute that needs to be added to product. Yes, thats the same as adding an attribute in standard BW way.
    And then, in the SPM UI you can display attributes in the contextual menu of a particular product.
    But if you do need to do analysis on it then on top of adding the attribute, you need to flag it as navigation and then bring it in the following:
    The respective cube(s) 0ASA_C*
    Add it into the multiprovider 0ASA_MP01
    Add it to the Query
    Log into SPM UI and refresh all data sources (make sure that no other users are logged in at that time), log out
    Clear browser cache and log back in
    Create report with that nav att
    Hope that helps!

  • Additional custom field on mm01/mm02 screen

    hi all,
    I need to create an additional custom field on mm01/mm02 screen.
    value entered in this field will be updated in the database.
    Kindly give pointer to the user exit/ screen where i can create the custom field.
    thanks in advance

    Hi Manish,
    Do the following process step by step as specified in the following link.[http://www.****************/Tutorials/ExitsBADIs/MM/MM01.htm]
    But in this link while you are at the 11th step
    select your required view.
    and do the rest as usual.
    This is at the configuration level u can add your customer fields.
    I dont think there are any exits available that can fulfill your requirement as the same requirement is fulfilled at the customization level.
    Thanks.

  • Change Customizing Table in Production System

    Dear All,
    At my current customer we are in an implementation wave and I realised that some settings are not in the transport requests. I am sure about it. But somehow someone has changed the customizing table settings in Production System!
    I know SCC4 and the option how to allow to customize some Table for changing but now this is not the case.
    Is there any other way to change the entries in the customizing table? must be...
    Thank you in advance,
    Regards,

    Please, also inform me if this is not the correct forum to raise this topic (and suggest one that is)

    Dear Maen,
    Thanks a lot. This program has solved my question. He did the changes in SE16N and I guess with &SAP_EDIT because the table is not editable after execute it in SE16N.
    Thanks again,
    Have a nice day.
    Thanks for the other comments, were also useful (points also assigned)

  • How to edit customizing view in production system?

    Hi,
    I wonder if it is possible to edit customizing view (ex: tcode OAV8) directly in production system. I need a method that doesn't require repair.
    Any help will be appreciated..

    Hey
    You can copy view V_T087G to ZV_T087G. After you have to create a new table maintenance for this view. The new table mainteance will have a Z function module so you can select in the "Dialog Data Transport Details" the flag "no user recording routine" instead of "Standard, recording routine".
    After you have to call this table maintenance from Sm30 or from a transaction.

  • Pass PO Customer Field to Backend System

    Hi,
    I added a customer field to purchase order using notes 458591 and 672960.
    What are the steps to transfer and save the value of the field in the SRM and in the backend system, SAP R3.
    We are using the extended classic scenario.
    Thanks a lot,
    Eyal.

    Hello Eyal,
    Do you have created this CUF for the PO only, or also for the SC ?
    How is this field populated ? by the user ?
    What is the logic associated to this CUF ?
    Usually, we define the same H/I CUF field for SC, PO and all follow-on doc that need this data (ex BID_INV...). In that case, there is noting else to do to save the values in SRM. We sometimes use the CUF BADI to control the field display and values.
    For the backend, you have several options depending on:
    - what do you want to do with this CUF in R/3 ?
       - update a standard R/3 field
       - update a custom R/3 field (append structure)
    - where do you want to do the mapping
       - in R/3
       - in SRM
    In standard, CUF are passed to R/3 via a table (extensionin/out for BAPI_PO_CREATE1). So you can process them in a R/3 user-exit to map your CUF to standard or custom R/3 fields.
    (exit EXIT_SAPL2012_001 for BAPI_PO_CREATE1)
    (exit EXIT_SAPL2012_002 for BAPI_PO_CHANGE)
    You can also use BADI BBP_ECS_PO_OUT_BADI to map the CUF to standard R/3 fields in SRM, before sending the data to R/3.
    Please, next time give us more details in your post.
    Otherwise generic questions result in generic answers.

  • Customizing open in production system for tcode KOT2

    Hi gurus!
    I have a problems with tcode KOt2
    The problem is that the modifications are aviable also in production system, and you can change it in production system.
    How can i put it again just  with the seeing mode? I want to modify it just in test system.
    Thanks

    Hello Nereab
    Transaction KOT2/_OPA is a so-called 'current setting' in SOBJ, the settings in
    SCC4 do not influence this. This is the reason why the transaction can
    be called in 'change' mode in your system; the philosophy concerning
    this has changed since release 4.0B (where it was not a 'current
    setting').
    If you want to prevent changes for this transaction, you have to follow
    the information given in note 420909 accordingly.

    Hi VISWA
    Please check if you hae moved both the requests. When you do any change through EEWB, it creates one Customizing Request and Another Developenet Request. It might had happened that you moved the Development one and forgot to move the Customizing one. Check this out
