custom fields in standard tabs

[Former Member]

hi all,

I want to know if it is possible to add custom fields in any of the standard tabs in a business transaction.

Is there any standard documentation available for it ?????

Hi,

You can do it using BDT customzing. Even Business transaction uses BDT for rendering the screen.

Thanks and warm regards,

Smita.

I too have a requirement to modify a business transaction - what is the transaction code. I know for BP it is BUPT, for Contract Account it is CAWM but I am trying to add fields to a document header and Business Partner line items.

I also tried FTR_C_MENU but when I click on any of the options in the left column under Transaction Control e.g Application, Field Group etc I get the message that the transaction does not exist.

Anyone know what the transaction is for getting to the relevant task level menu?

Ashish ,

Once you have created the new custom fields you can move the fields to the standard tabs using the VCT. Visual Configuration Toolset.

It is a graphical user interface with drag and drop capabilities. I believe this movement of fields to standard tabs has to be done w.r.t a BP Role.

The path is:

Cross-Application Components  SAP Business Partner  Business Partner  Basic Settings  Screen Configuration  Configure Screens

Double click the required role. You will be taken to the VCT and there you can play with the position of all fields tabs etc.

Hello,

I think Ashish ment the business transaction and not business partner.

I have the same problem. Any help how to solve this problem would be helpful.

thanks Kai ....... for replying,

I have used EEWB but that adds my custom fields on a new tab page.

My requirement is to add the custom fields on standard tabs. eg :- General data.

how do I do that ????

Hi Ashish

Sorry, but I am not aware of any standard documentation on how to do that.Did you enhance the Business Partner or the Business Transactions? If the BP, you can use the BDT (see SAP Help on BDT, Tx /n, then /nbupt and then it is in the menu) to move fields and fieldgroups to another tab which is pretty easy to do so, but if you have a business transaction you need to write your own fill and write functions ...

Hope this helps

You can extend standard objects with a tool called Easy Enhancement Workbench (EEWB). This takes care of the handling up to the UI and through the middleware. If you search this forum you find alot of information on it.

Other than that you can of course enhance tables with includes and appends as in R/3. But then you need to take care of showing them on the UI and sending them to attached systems yourself.
