Hi Sam,

These steps need to be followed.

1) Create a structure in SE11, with the fields that you want as Include structure. Lets name that as ZINCLUDE1.

2) Now goto SE11, open your Z-table to which you need to include the created structure; say ZTABLE1.

3) Goto Edit menu Edit->Include->Insert.

4) In the new popup window, enter the name of the Include Structure i.e. ZINCLUDE1.

5) Now activate the ZTABLE1.

Reward points if this helps,

Hi,

You can add your own fields related to your business requirement.

e.g. You can enhance the structure CI_PROJ in table PROJ.You can add your own fields in this structure.Simply,double click that structure.It will ask whether to enhance the structure.Click yes.In order that these fields to be updated,you have to include a cusom tab in transaction CJ20N.For this you have to make use of screen exit.For this,

Go to transaction SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> Project System -> Structures -> Operative structures -> Work breakdown structure (WBS) -> Enhancements for Project Definition and WBS Elements ->Create customer-specific fields in a project definition. Create a new project or use an existing one to add the customs field through screen exits.

Hi,

The two methods of modifying Sap standard tables are:

- Append Structures and

- Customizing Includes.

We cannot include customizing include or an append structure with Pooled or Cluster tables.

For more information on customizing includes follow the below link:

Thankyou,

Hi,

Customizing Includes

Some of the SAP standard tables contains special include statements called Customizing includes. In contrast to Append structures,

Note that customizing includes are created by SAP, but the customer supply the fields for the include.

Customizing includes begin with CI_ and is part of the customer namespace

One Customizing include can be inserted into more than one table.

You can find Customizing includes in SE11 under structures.

Try to take a look at table RKPF which uses the Customizing include CI_COBL (In an IDES system). Next try to add a field to CI_COBL, and activate it. If you go back to table RKPF you will se that your new field has been added.

Thanks
