Append VBAK

Former Member — Tue, 05 Sep 2006 22:52:22 GMT

Hi!

I need to add 2 fields to the table VBAK. The question is Next : Can I save this fields with a Z'Transaction?, or Do i have to use the Standar transaction to write this new fields??.

Thanks a lot!

Either way, it would be best to write your code in the user exits for sales document processing to fill these custom fields. Since they are custom fields, you can do a direct db update, but be careful since it is a standard SAP table.

Hi,

You should be updating this to fields using a BAPI - "BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE" and use table user this BAPI "EXTENSIONIN" to update this fields. You should not direct update because that may cause future inconsistency of data.

good

you can do it two process

1-by using the UPDATE statement.

2-create a structure using sell and include that structure in the table VBAK.

no need to save it in any ztransction.

Use the SE11 trnsaction to define an own structure.

Then you can append this structure to VBAK table.

Because there is no pre-defined include structure in the VBAK table, you have to ask SSCR code from SAP to modify this table - and that will be a standard modification.

Best wishes

Use SE11 to create an APPEND structure to VBAK.

You new fields should start with ZZ. SAP can add a standard field to VBAK in future releases. An APPEND with the same name would cause problems.

You can update with standard user exits. Form USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAK in program MV45AFZZ can be used to move data to the new ZZ fields.

If a user needs to fill the fields, you can use the enhancement for additional data during sales order processing.
