Effect of adding extra fields to MKPF using append structure

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have a requirement in which we have to add certain fields to MKPF(Header u2013 Material Document) table.

What I wanted to know is, will the addition of these fields to the table have any effect on the programs in which the table is being used.

Hi Arun,

Yes, there will be some effect based on the used of the table in any custom programs/transactions.

You are not supposed to change the master table just like that. You have check the dependencies where ever is has been used.

Hi arun,

along with what anusha told there are even table and data level relationships for the master table.The general changes are changes getting reflected in some other tables(due to addition or deletion of some fields). So to ensure no errors occur in the table look out for the dependancies of the master table,

rather you can go with the customization of the master table Zname and try out.

Hope its helpful,

Thanks and Regards

Hi Arun,

I've ever heard about the dependencies of the tables with the .INCLUDE structure. Because, the structures that we append for any table is for our future use. If we start thinking about the dependency factors, then we need to check all the tables related to the master table and check the key relationships.

Append Structure purely doesn't have any effect on the current form of the table and .INCLUDE structure will be for our use.

This could be contradictory, but think very generic.
