Hi,

I need your suggestions.

Before posting i searched in forum. Whether is there any posts are available on MC.5 (adding custom fields) But i have not found any posts.

My requirement is I would like to addone column besdie to MC.5 report.

Present reprot is displaying Storage location then it is showing some calculations.

My new column only display the description of the storage location.

After lot of searching i have found that.S039 is the table i need to append the fields.

Now i appended one filed, for adding the column at MC.5.

After adding then i want to see it in MC.5.

I think i need to add it in program. I am not able to find it. Where can i add the column.

Whether i am searching program is correct or not i am not abel to know..

Normally i have found at se93 for getting the program name.

I am searching it in RMCB0200 -> program.

Just i need one extra column beside to storage location..

Please update me if u have any information.

Hi,

I advice you to take a copy of that program and try doing changes.In the field catalog you have to add new column and pass the data into it.

Usually in a standard program you can do the changes using some enhancements.But you must be very cautious while working on enhancments as it impacts the system.

Anyways Welcome to SAP ABAP

Hope this information helps you.

Thanks,

Pawan.

Oh dear... Please get a qualified SD consultant for this. It's not an ABAP task. These transactions are part of LIS, which is the whole special thing in SAP (again, an SD consultant must know this), so no - you can't just add a new field to this transaction. (Also @Pawan - sorry but copying a standard program is also not an option. Actually it's a bad idea in 99.99999% cases, so you might to reconsider giving such advice in general.)

The correct solution is to create a custom info structure with whichever fields you need and then use MCSI transaction. Undo whatever changes you've made already.

I have done some changes for completing my requirement.

After code analysys. What i understood is i need to add custom fields in S039.

1) I Created Z -field at S039 For appearing the fields at MC.5

2) If i open the MC.5 i can able to see the field

Please have a look on below attached images.

But i would like to appear that field in the list. then i press the -> Choose key figure button .

then i am selecting the field. while selecting it is showing the error. as

Key figure s039-zzdesc not defined.

May i know what is the problem.

After analysys i found that , the above field should have the entry at table TMC73.

may i how could i pass the entry in TMC73.

How could i solve the issue.

After append the structure should i adjsut the table by using se14

Please give me your suggestions..

The problem is that it's a wrong approach. I've already given a solution (create a custom infostructure) and noted that these are not your regular tables/transactions where you could just break into with some ABAP.

Maybe can talk some sense here, although one can only bring horse to the water...

Maybe he trusts help.sap.com documentation a little more than your advise: lnformation Structures - Logistics Information System (LO-LIS) - SAP Library

I had already believed you

First of all, what for you are trying to add a field "Descr.of Storage Loc." and my question is what value add you are going to achieve with that. If there is really some value add to the Business process with this enhancement, then try with EXIT_SAPLMCS2_001 or EXIT_SAPLMCY2_002

what if you just choose from Menu Settings > Characteristics > key and description (or only key, or only description)

and additionally from the menu Settings > column width > characteristic

and set this to a higher number e.g. 30

Thank u ..

I cheked it.

Note: How could i get this type of information. Can i post this type of questions in forum.

I don't think this type of questions() are available in google. What is mc.5 may be if i search, i can get n number of posts. No need to post the questions. But how to get the storage location name in mc.5,

I can not get the answers in google,If i post the questions people are rejecting the posts.

Hmm, I was in the design team of our global system back in 1997, Windows had version 3.0 at that time, the Internet was in its baby shoes, SCN 7 years away from its foundation, and I had to describe how to use LIS transactions.

What did we have? The SAP docu on a CD (is now available in help.sap.com) and nothing else than limited time to investigate and test the transaction.

And it is like searching for a new apartment, you visit all rooms and not just the living room, and here I mean I open each and every menu, since there must be some reason for a menu. So I check what we can get from there. I do not ask somebody else to open the door and check the kitchen for me while I already relax at the sofa.

+1 to what Jurgen said, but in this particular case I'm not sure how a [qualified] functional person could look at the requirement and decide that ABAP is needed.
