Transaction SE11: Remove newly added append structure -how?

Hello everybody,
i viewed the structure CNCI_PROJ with SE11, and added an freshly created APPEND-Structure ZZZ01. Now i want to remove that again (wrong way), but I don't find a way to remove the Append. In the List of Appends there is no DELETE button (only SELECT, NEW, HELP and CANCEL). Do you have a button there? (I am using SAP Release Support Package 36).
Help is appreciated.
Best regards
Hartmut

Ankur, Gungor,
thank you both!
Best regards;
Hartmut

Error when adding append structure

Hi All,
I need help. We have a "new" source system (GRC), but all the required config was put in place by the BASIS team.
The required datasource was activated and tested - all working 100%.
As soon as an append structure is added, no matter what the fields within the append are, we get the following error:
unsupported field type 'P', correct DataSource definition
The structure that the datasource is based on has enhancement category = Can be enhanced(Char and numeric).
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as this is rather urgent.
Thanks
Werner

Hi,
Field names/types etc...in the append structure makes no difference. We have tried CHAR and NUMC - all gives the same error.
If you use a different field, with different specifications, then the exact same error appears with the new field.
This leads us to believe that there might be a setting somewhere that needs to be maintained to allow append structures to GRC datasources.

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.
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.

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.

Append structure to ztable

hi all,
i have one ztable. .

can u plz tell me how to do it.

Hi
To add fields to the Z Table using Append Structure then open the table in Change mode in SE11 and
click on APPEND STRUCTURE Button on the Application Toolbar. It will prompt you to enter the name of the Append Structure. Enter the name and then define the fields in the structure and activate the table.
The fields in the Append Structure must start with "ZZ" (Eg...ZZdate1 etc..)
Hope it helps.

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

Update VBRK append structure field

Hi,
I have added append structure field in VBRK.
While doing billing cancellation, i have to update a value in this field for the billing number.
I have coded this in a user exit.
I ve called another program and written coding for updation. DB_UPDATE_TABLE FM used for updation.
The value is getting updated in the table. But once it came to the user exit, the value of the field is gone from the table.
What could cause this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Ezhil

Hi,
1. Please check in the program that are you clearing the internal table any where ?
2. If you are using the submit statement you can use with return statement .
3. Other Export that internal table to memory inside the program and import that same internal table in the user exit.
Hope this might helps you to solve your problem.
With Regards,
Sumodh.P

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.

Removing Append Structures

Hi,
how it is possible to remove append structure of a table ?
Thank you.
Marian

Hi Marian,
I don't dare to make a test, but:
enter your append (e.g. ZAMARA) in SE11, third line (data type) and press delete, afterwards active your table again (e.g. MARA).
Tell us, if your system still works.
Save way: delete all other fields and leave only one dummy char1 field of your append.
Regards,
Christian

How to find where the code for append structures for LIS extractors?

Hi,
I found 4 append structures for extractor 2LIS_03_BF,
Out of 4 append structures, I found code for one, using where-used option. But in vain for other 3. Is it possible they didn't transport the code for remaining structures? how to find that?
Cheers,
Kannan N

Kannan,
When ever you apply a logic to populate tdata for the appended filed then you will be writing some code in CMOD transaction code where you will find a ZXRSAU01
program, just double click on that then it will take you to the complete exit. Ther you can find with your data source name.
Hope it helps...
