You need to create an Append Structure for your Custom Fields and add these in the "EXTENSIONIN". Depending on which table the Custom fields refer to, you need to Create an Append Structure of type "BAPI_TE_MARA" / "'BAPI_TE_MAKT" / "BAPI_TE_MLGN" / ...

I just searched in the forum and found this link- https://archive.sap.com/discussions/thread/2000494

And also check documentation of the BAPI( for the Tables - EXTENSIONIN/EXTENSIONINX)

BAPI are (usually) well documented so first step is read BAPI function and parameters documentation.

Thank you very much for your help. The issue was around the configuration of the fields. They weren't extended through SPRO to allow for updating. Configuration updated and all is fine now.
