Extending Batch Input or Direct Input

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

I am customizing Material Master by adding some custom fields to MARA. I know I can extend the IDoc for loading the data including my custom fields. I was wondering if, and how, to extend the Batch Input or Direct Input to include my custom fields.

Can anyone point me in the correct direction?

Append the MARA structure with your custom fields. (Are these fields available on material master screen as well ?)

Write the code in the appropriate user-exit to populate these fields OR use a BAPI and extensionin parameter to populate your custom fields.

Yes, they are available on the screen.
