Order of append structure

Hi,
I have in VBAK an append structure starting with ZY...
I want to add a new append structure starting with ZA... at the end of the table but when I add the structure it goes before the one starting with ZY..
How can i put it at the end of the table? Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Catalin

Hi
    Append structures allow you to attach fields to a table without actually having to modify the table itself. You can use the fields in append structures in ABAP programs just as you would any other field in the table.
Click on the append structure tab and opt to create new
structure.
Append structures allow you to enhance tables by adding fields to them that are not part of the standard. With append structures; customers can add their own fields to any table or structure they want.
Append structures are created for use with a specific table. However, a table can have multiple append structures assigned to it
    Customers can add their own fields to any table or structure they want.
The customer creates append structures in the customer namespace. The append structure is thus protected against overwriting during an upgrade. The fields in the append structure should also reside in the customer namespace, that is the field names should begin with ZZ or YY. This prevents name conflicts with fields inserted in the table by SAP

  • Purpose of Append Structure in DDIC(SE11)

    What is the purpose of Append Structure in DDIC(SE11)-Table?How to use this?
    Title by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Jan 23, 2008 6:11 PM

    Append structures are like user exits provided by SAP to enhance the Standard tables. It behaves like include structure only, but this append structure is taken care in the SAP version upgrage process, automatically. The name of append structure starts with 'Z' namespace..SAP by default proposes the append structure name with the table name prefixed with 'Z'.
    It is always recommended to modiy or append the Standard tables using append structure.
    It is the standard provided for SAP standard table enhancement.
    APPEND STRUCTURE->
    Append structures are used for enhancements that are not included in the standard. This includes special developments, country versions and adding customer fields to any tables or structures.
    An append structure is a structure that is assigned to exactly one table or structure. There can be more than one append structure for a table or structure.
    The following enhancements can be made to a table or structure TAB with an append structure:
    · Insert new fields in TAB,
    · Define foreign keys for fields of TAB that already exist,
    · Attach search helps to fields of TAB that already exist,
    These enhancements are part of the append structure, i.e. they must always be changed and transported with the append structure.
    When a table or structure is activated, all the append structures of the table are searched and the fields of these append structures are added to the table or structure. Foreign keys and search help attachments added using the append structure are also added to the table. If an append structure is created or changed, the table or structure assigned to it is also adjusted to these changes when the append structure is activated.
    Since the order of the fields in the ABAP Dictionary can differ from the order of the fields on the database, adding append structures or inserting fields in such append structures does not result in a table conversion.

  • EEWB - In BP, adding a new field regenerates append structure

    Hello,
    After adding or deleting a field using EEWB, I have the following issues -
    1. The new append structure that was created for BUT000 gets regenerated
    2. Field labels get overwritten by field names
    3. The order in which the fields were seen on the screen gets altered
    Is this a known behavior of EEWB?  How to alleviate this?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your input Satish!
    I searched using the application component suggested and the keyword and it was not very useful. 
    Some more details -
    I created some new fields using EEWB.  When you go to transaction BP, the standard tabs are displayed - ex - address, bank data, notes, etc.  But now there is a new tab - Customer Data that has my custom fields on it. 
    In the backend, SAP has created an extend structure for table BUT000 that has these fields in it. 
    When I go to this extend structure, my fields are there with a ZZ prefix - Ex: ZZFIELD1, ZZFIELD2, etc.  If you go to the details of these fields in data dict - transaction SE11, the Field labels - Short, Medium, Long and Heading are the same as the field names.  Ex: in the first case, the four field labels will be - ZZFIELD1.  I then changed the field labels to something meaningful - Ex: Renter name and rental date.  After generating the structure, these labels are then displayed on the Customer data tab.  So far so good.
    However if I add a new field - ZZFIELD3, then all the label names that I had given (Ex: Renter name and rental date) get erased and replaced by the fieldnames again. 
    Also the order in which the fields were diplayed gets altered.  Ex: earlier the Customer data screen was showing - ZZFIELD1, ZZFIELD2.  Now it shows - ZZFIELD3, ZZFIELD2, ZZFIELD1. 
    I hope I have explained this issue.

  • How do I find the name of an append structure?

    Lets say I want to add a field to the component BT115QS_SLSQ (Sales quote search).
    I enhanced the component and the view (SlsQuotSQ).
    If I go to the context nodes and the context node BTQSLSQUOT.
    I can see the implementation class ZL_BT115QS_SLSQUOTESQ_CN00.
    If I go inside of this class I see a tab attributes with a field called base_entity_name
    the initial value is BTQSlsQuot for this attribute.
    But how would I ever know that the append strcture name for this component / view is CRMST_QUERY_SLSQUOT_BTIL ???
    I only displayed it above becuase I did endless searches and realized this is the one.  But is there an easier way to find the append strcture name so that when I go to SE11 I can either copy and paste it in or type it in.  Is there somewhere in the workbench or anywhere which tells me its in this case CRMST_QUERY_SLSQUOT_BTIL ???
    How do I find this name ?

    Edit:
    FOUND THE ANSWER!
    Here is a complete document I put together for anyone else with this issue.
    I would really love to blog SAP issues like this because there seems to be very little help on the forums for the CRM Web client side :(...
    Purpose
    The purpose of this document is to explain how to find the append structure and how to use it.
    Problem
    Letu2019s say I want to add a field to the component BT115QS_SLSQ (Sales quote search).
    I enhanced the component and the view (SlsQuotSQ).
    If I go to the context nodes and the context node BTQSLSQUOT (this is in the context nodes area)
    I can see the implementation class ZL_BT115QS_SLSQUOTESQ_CN00.
    If I go inside of this class I see a tab attributes with a field called base_entity_name
    the initial value is BTQSlsQuot for this attribute.
    That is the key here, in order to determine the append structure to use when going into SE11 you need to know the name of the base_entity_name.  In the above case the base entity name is BTQSlsQuot.
    That means you need to use BTQSlsQuot
    Step By Step Procedure
    1)     Get the base entity name as described above
    2)     Once the base entity name is given go to transaction GENIL_MODEL_BROWSER
    3)     Enter a component or a component set like so:
    a.     
    4)     Press the green check box
    5)     For model select u201CDynamic Search Objectsu201D (for this particular case because we are trying to add a field to a dynamic search)
    6)     Select u201CDynamic Query Object BTQSlsQuotu201D
    7)     Once you expand this you should be given the attribute structure as shown below:
    Now you have the attribute structure name CRMST_QUERY_SLSQUOT_BTIL
    How To Use Append Structure
    Now that youu2019ve found the append structure to use it follow these steps:
    1)     Go to SE11
    2)     Click radio button Data type
    3)     Enter CRMST_QUERY_SLSQUOT_BTIL
    4)     Click display like so:
    a.     
    5)     Click the u201Cappend structureu2026u201D button at the top right
    6)     Add the field as a ZZ field and enter the data type like so:
    a.

  • Getting Error in Append Structure for Standard

    Hi all,
    Here i want to Append Structure in table RFPOS so i done all procedure . in this i have four field like ZZKUNNR , ZZNAMED , ZZLIFNR, ZZNAMEK. But when i active this structure this time i get error like
    "Field name INDEX is reserved (Do not use structure as include in DB table)"
    and
    "Field name ORDER is reserved (Do not use structure as include in DB table)"
    BUT structure is activated . now i can see my change in fbl3n T-code so i get proper change in this.
    But when i transport a request in Quality this time i am not getting same output which i get in Development .
    And yes request is transported with warning (YELLOW SIGN). So is it possible for this warning i am not geeting my proper output in FBL3N.
    Please kindly help me out
    Thanks
    Keyur

    Hello,
    Did you do anything else also that you might have missed to mention here?
    For example, was your Append structure already present in the table RFPOS & you deleted some of the fields & inserted the new ones. In this case, you might have to activate the table from database utility (transaction SE14).
    If this is an append structure & if it was pre-existing (not created by you), then this structure might already had been assigned to any other table. In such a case, system will not allow you to directly assign it to a different table. You may have to first assign it to an INCLUDE structure.
    Also, as you described, it indicates that there might be some problem with the fields named INDEX & ORDER. Try checking for it.
    May be you should check with your BASIS guy if the transport was successful & if not, the error description.
    Also, try checking the quality system for your changes.
    Hope that helps you in getting some direction.
    Let me know if that work out for you or not.

  • Appending structures to the tables

    Hi experts,
    Why we are appending sturctures to the tables?
    can any one tell me the main differences between the APPEND and INCLUDE structures
    in Datadictionary.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi Ankita,
    Customizing Includes
    A Customizing include is a structure that satisfies a special naming convention. The name of a Customizing include begins with u2018CI_u2019 and the include is in the customer namespace.
    If enhancements are already planned in the R/3 standard using customer-specific fields, such Customizing includes are included. in the corresponding standard table or standard structure. The Customizing include (that is the definition of the structure itself) is usually first created in the customer system and filled with fields by special Customizing transactions.
    Customers can thus enhance tables and structures of the R/3 standard system without themselves having to modify the table and structure definitions. This means that these enhancements will not be lost when upgrading. If a table or structure of the R/3 standard system is enhanced with customer fields using a Customizing include, these customer fields are automatically inserted in the new delivered table or structure definition during an upgrade.
    If you create a Customizing include for a table or structure, only those enhancements are allowed that are consistent with the enhancement category of the enhanced table or structure. For more information, see Structure Enhancements.
    Customers can but need not create a Customizing include and fill it with fields. If there is no Customizing include, there is no error message when the table or structure including it is activated.
    A Customizing include can be contained in several tables or structures, so that they remain consistent when the include is modified.
    Append Structures
    Append structures are used for enhancements that are not included in the standard. This includes special developments, country versions and adding customer fields to any tables or structures.
    An append structure is a structure that is assigned to exactly one table or structure. There can be more than one append structure for a table or structure.
    The following enhancements can be made to a table or structure TAB with an append structure:
    Insert new fields in TAB,
    Define foreign keys for fields of TAB that already exist,
    Attach search helps to fields of TAB that already exist,
    These enhancements are part of the append structure, i.e. they must always be changed and transported with the append structure.
    When a table or structure is activated, all the append structures of the table are searched and the fields of these append structures are added to the table or structure. Foreign keys and search help attachments added using the append structure are also added to the table. If an append structure is created or changed, the table or structure assigned to it is also adjusted to these changes when the append structure is activated.

  • Difference between include structure and Append structure

    Could you please tell me
    I have bsis table and it contains append structure  in 4.7 SAP System.
    my program in 4.7 system contains internal table which used same structure of bsis table ( which contains additonal field in its append structure ).
    I need to have same table structure in 4.6 C because I am copying the same program into 4.6 system.
    As I could not append structure to bsis table in 4.6C SAP system,
    instead of that shall I add the field or Shall include the structure to run .
    What is the difference between Include structure and Append structure ( I forgot )
    How to achieve this please help me ?

    Hi ,
      As you know append structure can be used only once in table ,that to at last of all entries,
    Append structures are used for enhancements that are not included in the standard. This includes special developments, country versions and adding customer fields to any tables or structures.
    An append structure is a structure that is assigned to exactly one table or structure. There can be more than one append structure for a table or structure.
    The following enhancements can be made to a table or structure TAB with an append structure:
    Insert new fields in TAB,
    Define foreign keys for fields of TAB that already exist,
    Attach search helps to fields of TAB that already exist,
    These enhancements are part of the append structure, i.e. they must always be changed and transported with the append structure.
    When a table or structure is activated, all the append structures of the table are searched and the fields of these append structures are added to the table or structure. Foreign keys and search help attachments added using the append structure are also added to the table. If an append structure is created or changed, the table or structure assigned to it is also adjusted to these changes when the append structure is activated.
    Since the order of the fields in the ABAP Dictionary can differ from the order of the fields on the database, adding append structures or inserting fields in such append structures does not result in a table conversion.
    The customer creates append structures in the customer namespace. The append structure is thus protected against overwriting during an upgrade. The fields in the append structure should also reside in the customer namespace, that is the field names should begin with ZZ or YY. This prevents name conflicts with fields inserted in the table by SAP.
    The new versions of the standard tables are imported after an upgrade, and the fields, foreign key definitions and search help attachments contained in the append structures are added to the new standard tables at activation.
    A standard table contains the fields Field 1, Field 2 and Field 3. An append structure containing the fields ZZA and ZZB is defined for this table. After activating the table, the corresponding database table contains fields Field 1, Field 2, Field 3, ZZA and ZZB.
    Further Remarks:
    An append structure can only be assigned to exactly one table or structure. If you want to append the same fields to several tables or structures, you can store these fields in an include structure. In this case you must create an append structure for each of these tables or structures and include the include structure there.
    Adding an append structure to an SAP standard table is supported by the  Modification Assistant.
    If you want to insert a field that is to be delivered with the R/3 standard in the next Release in the customer system in advance, you must include it in the table itself as a repair. If you include such a field in an append structure for the table, it will occur twice when the new standard table is imported. This will result in an activation error.
    No append structures may be added to tables with long fields (data types VARC, LCHR or LRAW). This is because a long field must always be the last field in the table. However, structures with long fields can be enhanced with append structures.
    If a table or structure with an append structure is copied, the fields of the append structure become fields of the target table. Foreign key definitions and search help attachments appended with the append structure are copied to the target table.
    Foreign keys for the appended fields must be defined within the append structure. Fields of the table or structure assigned to the append structure may be defined when assigning the key field and foreign key field.
    Indexes on the appended fields must be defined in the original table.
    A table or structure TAB can only be enhanced with new foreign keys or search help attachments using an append structure. You therefore cannot change an existing foreign key definition or search help attachment for a field of TAB with the append structure.
    Thanks

  • How to activate the transparent table along with append structure

    Hi,
    I add the new fields in existing append structure on tale VBAP.
    Initially i provide them the data type as Char with length 20.
    Similarly i added the fields in user exit on scree 8459 to add fields on screen.
    Until this eveything was working fine.
    Then my functional consultant ask me to delete one field from structure and change the length of other data types to 40 characters.
    I done this changes but when i go to activate that append structure its giving me error that certan structures in which it is been used are not adjusted and activated.
    The table is not adjusted through SE14 - Database Utlity.
    Its showing me that Runtime Object and Transparent table are different and not consistent.
    Can i delete the runtime object?
    The domains which i ave changed are also not geing activated.
    Suggest me the node of problem and solution also.
    What should be the problem.
    What should i do to solve the problem.
    Suggest me the solution if any.

    Give a trail that instead of activating all together, activate low-level objects (domains, data elements etc)first and then high levels (structures, tables) individually. With this approach you could find the errors easily and can resolve quickly.

  • What is diff b/w Include Structure and Append Structure at Database Level

    Hi Experts,
    Could you please let me know what is the main difference between .Include Structure and .Append Structure at SE11?
    Thanks in advance and for good answer will give good points.
    Sekhar

    Hi,
    1. Append Structures
    Append structures can only be assigned to a single table.
    Append structures are created in the custome rnamespace ( ZZ or YY)
    In case of new versions of the standard table during upgrade, the append structures are automatically appended to the new version of the standard table
    Append structures can not be used with cluster and pool tables
    Append structures are created in transaction SE11. Display the standard table fields and press the Append structure button.
    When you press the button, SAP sugests a name for the new append structure. After you has accepted the name,
    a screen will be shown where you can enter the new fields.
    Remember to activate.
    2. Customizing Includes
    Some of the SAP standard tables contains special include statements called Customizing includes. In contrast to Append structures,
    Note that customizing includes are created by SAP, but the customer supply the fields for the include.
    Customizing includes begin with CI_ and is part of the customer namespace
    One Customizing include can be inserted into more than one table.
    You can find Customizing includes in SE11 under structures.
    Try to take a look at table RKPF which uses the Customizing include CI_COBL (In an IDES system). Next try to add a field to CI_COBL, and activate it. If you go back to table RKPF you will se that your new field has been added.

  • Appending structures to fbl5n

    hi people. .
    I created a struct:ZINV_FBL5N with 4 fields and need to append them to RFPOS structure and RFPOSX structure.
    But when i try to do i get the error that the struct already exists. Also while creating the structure I have not used data element as shown in the pics below.
    Please guide.

    Hi,
    You first created the structure ZINV_FBL5N and then tried to create append structure. Actually, you should have done the following things. Firstly, you should press append structure;  then create; give a name to the structure; add the fields and activate the structure. The new fields added would then reflect in RFPOS and RFPOSX structure. In your case, system issued a message because you created the structure, and then tried to create append structure with the same name.
    The standard way of adding customized fields to append structure is to create a structure,say ZABC add the fields. Press append structure, create an append structure with different name ( name starts with ZZ* or YY* ) and then add the structure ZABC using  .include ( include structure from the menu )

  • Error while appending structure into BSEG Table

    We had appended BSEG table with a ZSTRUCTURE to enable Custom field in MIRO. Subsequently there was a change required in the appended field. After Changing the field there was adjustment required to activate the appended table . However due to slow system performance during that time the Adjustment SE14 timed out. And created inconsistency in BSEG table.
    If I Do the Table adjustment now it is showing below error.
    We tried to delete the append structure also but the structure is not appearing in the append structure list to delete.
    Even if we try deleting the Z structure from se11 it is throwing below error.
    Any one could help me out to resolve this..

    hi Ramesh,
    Please First Check if the Database version and disctionary version are in sync.
    Also, it could be the case that you would have enhanced an already existing Append stucture. which might be being used in other BKPF dependent tables.

  • Customer Master using Appended structure KNA1

    Hi
    We have to update few ZZ description fields in ZAKNA1, which are not part of user interface in XD01/02/03. The available options are such as LSMW, Batch input require code addition through user exit ZXF04U01/ EXIT_SAPMF02D_001.
    I would like to use BAPI as we have a plan to use web services. Any idea how to extend the BAPI's such as BAPI_CUSTOMER_CHANGEFROMDATA1 or BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1 using best practice?  I donu2019t find any extension structures like other BAPIu2019s have. Without ExtensionIn and ExtensionOut parameters, a BAPI can not be enhanced correct?
    The version we are using is ECC 5.0. Any ideas with customer master BAPI will be greatly appreciated.
    Bala

    Hi Bala,
    Just some general comments without having looked at your specific problem. Since you're on ECC 5.0 you cannot use the new [Enhancement Framework|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/EN/94/9cdc40132a8531e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm], which would make such changes more easy...
    A rather awkward workaround for extending the BAPI's is sometimes to add append structures to an IMPORT parameter of the BAPI. However, this is a rather dangerous and limited approach, because you might get into trouble depending on where the structures are used (i.e. if you add a field, it might cause harm in other programs that use the structure) and you also have to study the source code to see if you even could utilize those additional fields.
    A pretty generic option in lieu of other approaches is to generate a custom wrapper function module around the standard BAPI. Within your custom BAPI you can add the missing fields as parameters, call the standard BAPI and then do the additional updates. The big advantage of such a solution is that
    <ol>
    <li>Your change/additional logic is obvious (not hidden in a customer exit or BAdI, which are often harder to find when troubleshooting or changing functionality)</li>
    <li>Any changes to the standard BAPI will automatically also take effect in your custom BAPI (since you didn't copy the original one); this excludes of course interface changes, but here you anyhow would have to do something...</li>
    </ol>
    Should you have custom fields that are already exposed on the customer maintenance screens via enhancements, then you might want to consider using the wrapper approach, but simply export the additional data to memory, then call the standard BAPI and within the customer/user exits handling the additional fields fill them via an import from memory.
    Cheers, harald
