Hi Friends,

I have to Include a new field in the Standard DB table FKKVKP.

Is there any alternative available other than Customizing Includes and Append Structures.

If not, which will be the best way to add the new field ?

Kindly suggest me a solution for this Issue.

Our systems are going to undergo Upgrade in few months from 4.7 version to ECC 6.0.

Thanks & Regards,

Yogesh.

Hi,

Go for append structure. Even if you make any changes in future you can do it in the structure itself and it will get adjusted in table automatically.

This is an application table. The known best solution is to APPEND structure. If you find any better option, kindly share that knowledge with us...

Hi Yogesh,

There will be no problem for append structure or customizing include after upgrade.

you can use either of the method.

No alternative available and not required.

Hi Yokesh,

The best way to move forward is by using an append structure. Any changes made to this structure will be automatically reflected in the table and also it will be adjusted automatically.

Thanks!

Hi,

There is only one option to include extra field for standard tables that is Append Structure other than we don't have any option.

For Customizing tables we can use Append structure as well as Include Structure.

Rules: Append Structure should be in last in Field column but include structure you can insert in any where it means between the fields.

Delivery class option and data class will take care automatically while upgrading the sap system one version to Another version.(upgrading).

For that you should maintain the those properties when data base table creation.

i hope the above information may helpful to you.

Best Regards

Hi,

We create append structures in the customer namespace. The append structure is thus protected against overwriting during an upgrade. The fields in the append structure should also reside in the customer namespace, that is the field names should begin with ZZ or YY. This prevents name conflicts with fields inserted in the table by SAP.
