Hi:

Append structures permit you to append customer fields to a SAP standard table without having to modify the table definition.

An append structure is a structure which is assigned to exactly one table. There can be several append structures for a table.

When a table is activated, all the active append structures for the table are found and their fields are appended to the table. If an append structure is created or changed, the table to which it is assigned is also activated and the changes also take effect there when it is activated.

Like all structures, an append structure defines a type that can be used in ABAP programs.

1 .Go in Se11, open the table in which you want to add the structure -> click on Append structure-> it would ask the structure, give it and then it would open enter the field list.

2. Or create the structure 1st and do the rest step mentioned in step 1.

For details

Good day, Mates!!!

Has anybody had any bad experiences with extending standard SAP tables using these APPEND STRUCTURES???

Would you ever consider creating a companion custom Z-table instead of using the APPEND STRUCTURE mechanism???

I just want to add one thing - after adding this custom structure, I will suggest you to run "Dictionary Table Utilities" and adjust the table.
