FBL5N Header Chacacteristics

400 Views

OSS note 393290 indicates to me that you can add additional characteristics to the FBL5N header fields. For example SORT2

It is clearly an accepted method for inserting characteristics into the report headers, with limitations as to the tables permitted.

However my Basis colleague says it is simply a correction to an error, and no longe relevant in an ECC 6.0 system.

He asks: "Is it documented elsewhere that it a accepted method for inserting new characteristics ?

If not, then it will be treated as a repair to the SAP System and unfortunately not something I will support."

The note says:

In this manner, you can generally insert characteristics for maintaining the headers. But do consider the following; you can only createA and B segments of the master data using this method. This means:

'Vendor Line Item Display' FBL1N > you can create fields from LFA1 and LFB1 in this manner, structure: FILITEXTS_AP

'Customer Line Item Display' FBL5N > you can create fields from KNA1 and KNB1 in this manner, structure: FILITEXTS_AR

You can also add this to the affected structure as an Append.

I need evidence to support my case. Can anyone suggest where else this approach to adding fields is supported by SAP?
