Custom Field Extensibility

[Matt42]

I created a custom field to be extended using Adapt UI to Post Goods Receipt for Purchasing Document. Upon activating the new version, I encountered an error (see screenshot).

What might be the possible reason for this one?

Dear @Matt42,

That popup is the generic SAPUI5 Runtime Adaptation (Adapt UI) draft activation failed message it’s not specific to your custom field. SAP even has a Note for exactly this symptom which usually means the backend repository save/activate failed

SAP Note below:

Also step to check

1. Verify the custom field is really ready for this app

In Custom Fields app:

• Field Status = Published
• Business Context matches what the app can extend. For Post Goods Receipt for Purchasing Document (F0843) the extensibility help points to Material Document Item as the relevant area

More details below:

2. Discard the adaptation draft

In the Post Goods Receipt for Purchasing Document app:

• Adapt UI
• Go to Drafts/Versioning and Discard Draft
• Close the app completely, reopen then re-do the change and activate again

More details below:

3. Make sure you’re adapting in the correct tenant in Public Cloud

In public edition, key-user extensions are expected to be created/collected in the customizing tenant of the DEV system, then moved via Export Software Collection / Import Collection
If you’re trying to activate in a tenant where key-user changes/transports are restricted activation may fail with this generic message.

4. If it still fails, capture the real error and raise an incydent to SAP
