#COE#BUMA Additional Field in Purchase Order Items by Account Assignment

[_JohnL_]

Hi SAP,

Would it be possible to add a field or custom field to the "Purchase Order Items by Account Assignment" app? Specifically, we need to include the Supplier Material Number in both the search and table filters. We’ve been searching for documentation on how to extend this app but haven’t been able to find any. We would appreciate your assistance if there are any solutions available.

Regards!

John

Hi John,

What have you tried so far in the system?

In the Custom Fields app we have the context for Purchasing Document Item:

Business Context: Procurement: Purchasing Document Item (MM_PURDOC_ITEM)

I would try to add a field here and enable it for the object models.

Generally, if you want to find out about the extensibility options, you would start in the Fiori App Library.

For example, the entry for this app: https://fioriappslibrary.hana.ondemand.com/sap/fix/externalViewer/index.html#/detail/Apps('F2420')/S...

In the Implementation Tab, there is a section on Extensibility, in this case, it looks like your answer is "no":

There will also be a link there to the App Documentation (see the "Read more in App Documentation").

In this case, it will take you to this help app: https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_S4HANA_CLOUD/0e602d466b99490187fcbb30d1dc897c/40703658009e0946e1000000...

At that help link there will usually be a section about the supported extensibility options. If you scroll down a little from that Help topic this one is listed: Adapt and Extend Functionality of Apps (Extensibility)

https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_S4HANA_CLOUD/0e602d466b99490187fcbb30d1dc897c/b5e2dbebafdc4cd7807e06e0...

If none is listed there, I would recommend to try the object model approach. If that does not work, it is likely the app doesn't support the custom field extensibility.

In this case, you could consider a Custom CDS view that could link to the two objects and use a report/ analytical app.

I checked in my system and none of the custom fields we have defined show up in that app, so I am inclined to agree with the Fiori App Library. The default Adapt Filters option does have Item and Material, but doesn't appear that Supplier Material is specifically available.

I hope this helps

Thank you

Jerry
