PM -order operations - customer-fields

Question

Hi SDN,
We used customizing activity 'Define User Fields' (Transaction 'OILJ' ) to define user fields and store them under a field key,.and assigned the key to an operation in a maintenance order
Is it possible to list this client fields in the list operation report (TC IW39/IW49N)? How?
Thanks in advance.

Maria João Rocha,
  There should be two methods associated to this BADI, FILL_ADD_FIELDS and CHANGE_FIELD_CATALOG. You would need to use these methods to populate the contents and change the field catalog, create Field groups. The output structure for the appropriate program(Remeber this BADI is used by all single level list within PM) is passed into the "Fill_add_fields" method.
  So basically as first step create a new append Structure for RIHAFVC using transaction se11. Add the custom fields to this append structure based on key ID.So if i have two different key ID and each having  7 fields each i would define 14 new custom fields with the text description that you have named in the config.You will not be able to include the AFVUI structure directly due to the naming conflict that would arise.You could then use the implementation associated to the FILL_ADD_FIELDS method to populate the appropriate fields based on the key. You would need to  implement this logic based on the structure that's passed in (RIHAFVC in this case) and use the key to gather the User defined values associated to the operation.
  Hope the suggestion helps.
