Adding fields via customizing tables

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hello everyone.

I was asked to insert a custom field into four specific reports of SAP Standard.

The first one, which you have access via FBL5N is working fine. All I had to do was to insert a field into the Custo. Table T021S and to check if the field was inserted into RFPOSXEXT.

It was a guideline someone gave me before starting this project and now, I see that in the report, I have the added field in the hidden column and I can make it appear anytime I want.

Though, it seems not every report is the same and I'm confused with the three others and I was wondering how can I find which custo. table needs to be changed to add my new field.

The three other reports in questions are those:

S_ALR_87012172

S_ALR_87012169

S_ALR_87012197

Don't get me wrong, I'm not necessarily looking for an answer "look at this table, this table and this table" (which you can always give me if you wish) but I mostly want to know how you find out which custom table is associated to which report like knowing that T021S is associated to FBL5N.

Thank you!

Hi

The table T021S is to add new fields in the reports list item account, that means transaction like FBL1N, FBL3N and FBL5N.

This table can filled direclty by those transactions: after showing a list go to Setting->Special fields

Here you can add a new field of certain standard tables (like BKPF, BSEG,.......) only

So it doesn't work for other transactions

I don't know if it's possible to add an extra field in other transactions like S_ALR_87012172, S_ALR_87012169 and S_ALR_87012197: you need to check it (try to see the code for example, or try to check if there's a SAP note)

For example: trx S_ALR_87012172

The output is based on structure FAGL_S_RFDSLD00_LIST1, FAGL_S_RFDSLD00_LIST2, I don't believe there's a tool update them automatically, if you need to do it, you have to do manually,

that means to change, enhance the standard program

Hi

See SAP Note 215798 - FBL*N: Special fields are not displayed if you have problems with new fields.

For FI-AA I know SAP Note 335065 - Include user-defined fields in reports, but I have doubts if it works for other reporting tools in FI.

I hope this helps you

Well, I looked at the code inside those programs and I don't understand much the dutch commentaries but I have the feeling there is a customizing table for special fields for:

- RFITEMAR (FBL5N report) with customizing table T021S

But I can't seem to find any customizing table for :

- RFDSLD00 (S_ALR_87012172 report)

- SAPLKYPC (S_ALR_87012169 report)

- RFDEPL00 (S_ALR_87012197 report)

So is that possible there is no customizing table to add special fields like FBL5N in those three reports? And if it is the case, is coding the standard (I know, not recommended) or using enhancements are the only ways to be able to add some fields in those reports? Is there any other ways that I am not aware?

Thank you for your help

Hi

I don't think it's possible to add new fields without to change the standard programs

So you can try to do an implicit enhancement,
