Custom field in TINC table.

[Former Member]

Hi

I need add a custom field in the standard INCO terms table of length 100.

Can I do it via an APPEND structure? Also, the same should be added in the view V_TINC (Maintenance view). How do I do that part? It needs to reflect in transaction code OVSG as well.

Please help.

This is what i can think of..

1. Add the custom filed to append of INCO

2. Update the view V_TINC with the custom field that needs to be displayed

Thanks for your reply Karthik.

1) Done.

2) How to do the same? I can't see any APPEND structure for the VIEW. How to do this enhancement?

AFAIK append views are only for database views, so from there your are in 'modification' of standard (same for regenerating the dialog maintenance) so better create your own maintenance view (like V_TINC_OIG or V_TIC_T*T) and dialog maintenance in your namespace,/or/ create another table with a foreign key relation to TINC.

How will i call this custom maintenance view from tcode OVSG where the INCO terms are maintained? Also, will the user be able to maintain a text of 1000 characters there?

[raymond_giuseppi]

AFAIK no automation without sscr key (?), create a ZOVSG transaction, and inform users.

But for 1000+ character you require a long Sap script text and by no means a database field (too long for input in SAPGUI by the way) and forget SM30 which won't be a suitable tool. (go with SAVE_TEXT functions and/or CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT tool or a wrapper of a transaction like SO10 with an initial screen based on TINC/TINCT if less Abap ressources available on site)

Can anyone help me here on how to update the maintenance view V_TINC with a new field already added in TINCT.
