Extending BKPF

former_member185932 — Wed, 30 Mar 2005 09:25:55 GMT

My client wishes to add an additional field to the BKPF table using a database Append. I have stated that they would be better to use a 'Z' table to store the additional information but it seems that we will be extending BKPF.

Does anyone have any experience of adding fields to BKPF and are there any obvious issues with doing this? (Besides all the code re-generation that will take place).

Thanks,

Hi Jonathan,

extending BKPF for only 1 additional field ?

Can't you use the fields XREF1_HD or XREF2_HD

of table bkpf ?

hi JB,

First of all look at some extra fields of table bkpf which are not populated. If ur prob ll not be solved with these fields, u can add <b>append structure</b> to ur table bcoz <b>Append structures allow you to attach fields to a table without actually having to modify the table

itself.</b>
