KNA1 & LFA1 - Custom Fields in DB

[balajishahrsap]

Hi Experts,

We have a requirement to Enhance the KNA1 and LFA1 DB structures. Hence we added a new Append structure to the DB.

And now we wanted to update this newly added custom field in KNA1 and LFA1.

is there any standard BAPI or Function module available to update the custom fields of KNA1 and LFA1. ( Like how we update the Sales order & contracts).

Thanks

Please let me know any BAPI which will support updating custom fields in KNA1 & LFA1

Take a look at documentation of the following configuration (SPRO) nodes:

Financial Accounting (New) -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Customer Accounts -> Master Data -> Preparations for Creating Customer Master Data -> Adoption of Customer's Own Master Data Fields -> ...

Financial Accounting (New) -> Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable -> Vendor Accounts -> Master Data -> Preparations for Creating Vendor Master Data -> Adoption of Customer's Own Master Data Fields -> ...

It's pretty well documented how to enhance customer/vendor master data with own fields. Read, ponder - you'll find your way around.

Hi Dominik

Thanks for your message, I understand from the document that, how the screens can be enhanced and how the data can be passed to existing BADI's & ALE's.

At Present we are doing these changes for ILM implementation, Client requirement is to just enhance the KNA1/LFA1 structure and use standard BAPI/FM to update these custom fields ( the update to the custom fields should be done by Program and no user should be given the privilege to edit these fields or to see these fields).

I found a couple of BAPI's but with no extension(Parameter), kindly do let me know in this case how we can update the custom fields.

Should I enhance the standard BAPI's to accommodate these custom fields!
