Hello All

The FI Module end users want that the Document header text field of BKPF table (bktxt) which is by standard fixed at

25 chars be increased to 100 characters as it is too less for document description.Can you guide me if this is feasible.

I personally dont feel it is a good idea as finance tables affect others tables too.

Many Thanks

If the users need a new field you could add one via a customer include as an append at the end of BKPF. BUt if you do that you will also need to code changes to include the new field on a custom screen exit. If they really just want somewhere to store more text they could use extras->texts from FB01/2 which gives them unlimited space to put comments in.

as you rightly said, you should nt modify the length of standard SAP fields. It might other applications. please look at other workarounds for a solution
