How can we show custom datasources under LBWE?

[kenneth_lee1]

Hello gurus,

We need your expert advice...we currently have custom fields (eg. ZZAUDAT) and campaign ID which are not showing delta when there are any changes in ERP.

We have updated MCVBAK with the fields using append and not .INCLUDE, but looking at lbwe the fields are still not showing. I noticed that those which were added by the previous consultants to VBAK are seen in LBWE but understand this would be risky given it's an SAP SD table.

Can you please advise?

1) how to update ZZAUDAT in LBWE if we've already included in MCVBAK?

Steps we plan to follow:

https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/BI/How-to+enhance+LO-Cockpit+DataSources+with+delta-relevant+f...

We have already verified ROOSOURCE and it shows the correct details as per blog below:

2) is it advisable to update TMCEXCFS? what are the possible impact?

https://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/BI/Some+fileds+are+not+extracted+in+LO+extraction

3) if we do update VBAK directly as advised below as last option, what are watchouts needed?

https://blogs.sap.com/2005/02/14/logistic-cockpit-when-you-need-more-first-option-enhance-it/

We are avoiding creating a generic datasource because it would again require initialization which we don't have time for. we are ok with just updating future transactions with the delta changes for the following fields.

Hi Kenneth,

I had fallowed the same link few years back, and I could able to succeed in triggering the delta, I had enhanced MC* and then wrote the user exit as shown below.

Hello Shanti,

Thanks for the swift response! To clarify, after updating mcvbak and updating the user exit,the fields showed in lbwe?
