Hi Nama,

As you are aware the table BSEG contains data for customer/Vendor etc.. It is very heavy table and for this reason SAP has provided separate tables like BSAK/BSIK to improve the performance. Adding a field to this table will not create a problem from SAP prespective provided u follow the procedure..

However couple of things which you will have to address are...

1. When the field gets added how are you going to populate the field for the records which are already existing in the BSEG table...

2. You will have to identify all the possible updation process from where BSEG table is getting updated to insert your logic for populating your customf field.

I think the best option for you is to understand the need for this additional custom field and explore if you can manage it with the existing system..

For adding new fields SAP provides transaction OXK3, which adds the new fields to all relevant tables via structure CI_COBL. You should use that instead of your own append structure.
