Use the field EXTENSIONIN, it has been discussed many times in the forum

There is no EXTENSIONIN in BAPI_CUSTOMER_CREATEFROMDATA1.

Aaaah, sorry!

I have found that this BAPI should only be used in some given applications (Note 390045 - Usage of BAPI_CUSTOMER_* of function group V02D)

You should use Idoc (DEBMAS if I remember well, you may have to extend it and implement CMOD user exits) or batch input instead.

Another solution: you may do a direct update using UPDATE KNA1 SET zzfield = ... WHERE ... as it clearly states that you don't change any standard field. For insertions, you may look for some user exits which are called at save time, and do the update right after the insertion by SAP (you may do that only if you know exactly how update tasks work, and when you may call your own Z update function module).
