Transaction code STRANS - there you can change the transformation to the way you need it.

You need:

a) add the field to the table (to store the data),
b) add the field to the xml file (to be able to send the xml somewhere).

I don't know the requirement, that is up to you to find out where to put it. Time-stamp is just another field, it could be in multiple formats, so you need to find out, which one to use. Then find out, if the value is to be stored in the Z-table. Then either fill the gt_data-"timestamp_field" manually or by selecting the data from your Z-table (your gt_data is filled somehow).

Either way you will need to look at the transformation and add the timestamp field to the correct place.
