hi

what are the methods to modify SAP standard tables?

hi,

modifying sap standard tables is not possible ... for that u need to have access key like that.

try to contact your basis guy for access key...

[hymavathi_oruganti]

.APPEND structures AND CUSTOMIZING INCLUDES.

these are the two methods.. but customizing includes we, as a developers do not use.

generally we use .APPEND structures to modify standard tables.

note that we need an access key to modify atandard tables.

we can create an apend structure and add that structure to the standard table at the end.

note that .append structures should only be added only at the end.

that is the reason we use .append structures to modify standard tables.as we should not include a field in the middle and disturb the original order of the standard table fields as it may effect many objects depending on the standard table.

but Some standard tables for which there is a LONG datatype field can never be modified.

the reason is the LONG datatype field should always be there at the end and also .APPEND strutures should always be there at the end. there will be a conflict. so, some standard tables can not be appended.

Hi,

Modifying standard SAP tables is not recommended by SAP.

You can alwyz extended/add new fields to the table.

Open the table in SE11,

Click APPEND STRUCTURE.

Add the new fields & activate.

Hi

You can only add some fields based on requirement by appending the APPEND structure in the std table

This happens when you place some fields on the related Transaction screen using screen exit and then add fields and they needs to be populated

so just simply we can't add the fields into table.

You can modify the tables by extended/add new fields to the table.

You can add the fileds to table by using <b>APPEND or INCLUDE STRUCTURE</b>

Go to table in SE11 click on change button,

in that screen Click APPEND STRUCTURE.

Add the new fields & activate.
