Hi sai,

Go to the tcode WE30 .

First you have to extende your existing Idoc type to pass the new segment. Give some Zidconame and check the radio button extended Idoc and say create.It will ask you to give the basic Idoc type name.Now once the Extended Idoc type is created go inside the IDOc and place the cursor on the required position where exactly you want to add the segement and click the segmetn create button from the toolbar buttons and pass your segment name.
