Hi

You have to insert an APPEND structure by SE11, after creating it insert your field in this new structure.

Insert the append structure in the table where you want to use it.

Example if zzoss_time is your append structure

Field Data Element

.APPEND ZZOSS_TIME

Then activate the table.

HOpe this helps..

I have the same.My question is do i need to activate it through some other transaction like as we do for db table through SE14 or is enough if i activate directly?

Rakesh, E1EDP01 is an segment which u can see in transaction WE31. Also in WE31 there is no activation button, if u just save it, that is ok.

Hi

SE14 is only for database, so you don't need it here, it's enough to active the structure only.

you can activate it directly. or through the database Utility.

If you are doing what I think you're doing - adding a field to an IDOC segment you should really be extending the IDOC. See help for IDOC Extension. You will then need to populate using the relevant userexits on the IDOC function module

Hi,

Go through SE84->ABAP Dict-> Give str name->In the menu Structure Activate option is there.

Hey dont forget to release once everything will be done and write code to populate the field in the corresponding segment.

If helpful pl reward.

Cheers..
