Adding custom fields to Article Master (MM41/MM42)

[sivakumar_subramaniam2]

Hi ,

I have a requirement of adding custom fields to Basic data of Article creation in MM41 . I appended the fields to

MARA table using Append structure . I followed the steps given in note 44410 . But i am unable to find an EXIT/BADI

/ENHANCEMENT to populate the values of custom fields which get triggered during MM41/MM42 .

But the Exit EXIT_SAPLMGMU_001 gets triggered only during MM01/MM02 . Kindly guide me to solve this .

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

Business Requirement:

As per the client Business critical requirements, additional fields are

required in the Article Master. This is because the existing fields in

the Article master are not adequate to capture the data.

We have referred the SAP Note 925424 (Table MAW1) and 44410 (MARA) for

this.

Based on the above note 44410, we have added fields in MARA table,

since Manufacturing

activities are envisaged in future instead of proceeding with 925424.

Whether, MAW1 (925424) also to be considered?

Since this is very critical requirement from client, we cannot avoid

and do not have any

alternate solution.

These fields will be used in reports and pricing in sales &

distribution.

Apart from this, are there any other SAP notes to be referred?

Is there any restrictions there in length for fields to be used in MARA table .

By referring note 44410 , i added 20 fields in MARA table, in which some 4 fields are more than 40 characters .

All custom fields are updated in MM41 and MM42 .

Shall i proceed by this approach .Kindly guide me on this .

Thanks and Regards,
