Add a new field to standard SAP table

We cannot enter a new field to a standard SAP table. As it required special access to do that.

 

But SAP provided us 2 ways to achieve this functionality.

 

• Customizing includes are provided in SAP tables and structures to allow you to add fields to these structures/tables without modifying the  tables themselves.
• Append structures allow you to add fields to SAP-provided structures and transparent tables that were not provided for in the standard version.

 

Generally for standard tables where no option available to add a field, we can proceed to add a Append Structure.

 

 

Now activate an go back.

 

 

We can now see the MATNR field in this table. We can as many as fields in this Z structure.

 

We can also enhance a table with .include extension. But in the first case it cannot be used. As we cant modify the table directly. But if in case SAP itself provided some .include structure in it we can do that. Or we can add this in a custom table, which may not be changed frequiently as per requirement.

 

 

Simply add the structure name and .include, all the fields of that structure will be added to this table.
