How to add a date field in the Sales Order Header

[former_member184037]

Hello Gurus

I have a requirement whereby I need to add an additional field which is a "Date field" in the Sales Order header.

I have checked the threads which suggest that additional fields can be maintained in SPRO > Sales and Distribution > Master Data > Business Partners > Customers > Sales > Maintain Reserve fields in Customer Master Data

I, though, want to enter a "date" in this additional field, hence feel that Additional Data B needs to be updated with this customisation.

Can you please confirm whether this is the right path to take

Also whether there is any standard setting to configure this requirement?

Is some "development" work needed to map this requirement?

Please note any requirement of adding up custom fields at Sales order level can be achieved through the following User exits in the screens :-

1:- SAPMV45A8309, Sales Document Header - User Exit Header

2:- SAPMV45A8459, Sales doc. Item - User exit item

Please reach out to Technical consultant so that code can be placed in these user exit and kindly close the thread if you query is answered.

Hi Friend,

As per My Knowledge we can't add a new field at sales order header by Standard Configuration.

If you want additional date field at sales order header you need Abaper help.

They will create a new field at Sales Order header (that is in date format).

And they will write logic at suitable USER EXIT as per your requirement.

Thanks
