Authorization Object addition

Former Member
0 Kudos

Dear All,

Could anyone please tell me how to add a new authorization field to an authorization object. I have to create a new field EEIND of table EKET.

In the transaction ME22N I want to make only one column 'Deliv. Date' (tab Status) in editable format. The filed name is EEIND and table is EKET.

Regards,

Parvathy

Don't do it.  In your enhancement add the additional check against a new object, not the enhanced existing standard one

Changing a standard object will cause pain when upgrading and the benefits of doing so are generally not big enough in comparison with the drawbacks.
