EDIDC append structure in ECC6.0

Former Member — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 10:39:17 GMT

Our client is upgrading the system from 4.6C to ECC6.0. We have a problem with the append structure of the table EDIDC. In 4.6C system we appended a structure with 5 fields to EDIDC table. But in ECC6.0 system SAP is not allowing to do append structure to EDIDC table.

Please don't come up with the question asking why do we need to append fields to control record table like EDIDC. After all it is a client requirement.

Does anyone has any idea how to deal this situation?

Thanks,

Johny

Hi Johny,

Unfortunately SAP has set the "Enhancment Category"( Menu SE11->Extras->Enhancement Category) as "Cannot be enhanced" ifor EDIDC n ECC which was missing in 46C. That's why you will not be able to do an append structure on EDIDC. The only way is to apply access key for this table and change the enhancment category and then append the relevant structure. But ithis is not recommended.

Regards,

SAP does not want you to append to this table, so you should ask SAP "why" by searching for SAP notes or sending a message to them if you did not find a relevant note.

If you decide to enhance nevertheless (as a modification), you might lose all support if anything goes wrong.

Is there any other solution other than appending a structure to EDIDC? I can create a custom table with the custom fields but how do I update this table whenever EDIDC table gets updated?

Any other solutions/suggestions are highly appreciated?

Thanks

But why you need these fields?

I know they were in EDIDC table of 46C release, but why they were added?

Hi Johny

What all you can do is that can create a custom table from a copy of EDIDC in which add ur additional fields and make a custom program which runs in background after regular interval and updates your custom table with EDIDC records.

I think this will help you.
