How to add a custom field on purchase order item level in the app Manage Purchase orders

[Bernard_Sohier]

We have created a custom field with business context "Procurement: Purchasing Document Item"

We have enabled it for the following CDS view :

- I_PURCHASEORDERITEMAPI01 : Purchase Order Item

- I_PURCHASEORDERITEMENHANCED : Purchase Order Item enhanced

When we try to add the field in the app Manage Purchase Orders on item level the field is not available:

If we check the advanced app's there we see the extensibility field:

Question :

- what did we forgot to enable to make this possible ?

- Is there an easy way to find out which CDS view to activate out of an app? For example I am in the Purchase order item , I click/goto ... and find which CDS view is required for extensibility ?

Kind regards

Bernard

Hello bernard_sohier.

How are you? I have excluded the Tag "SAP S/4HANA Cloud" and included the Tag "SAP S/4HANA Cloud Extensibility" for this question, as Custom Fields are related to Extensibility.

Hi bernard_sohier,

I replaced tag SAP S/4HANA Cloud Extensibility with SAP S/4HANA Cloud for Sourcing and Procurement to involve the relevant experts.

Best regards,

Hello Experts and Community Members,

I’m currently facing the same issue that was raised in a 2023 post, but I haven’t found any solution provided yet. After adding a custom field and enabling all necessary configurations, I’m still unable to see the field in the Hierarchy Item-Set screen. However, the field is visible under the hierarchy sub-line items (i.e., material/service). Additionally, the same field is not being reflected in the Forms.

It would be very grateful if anyone can help me out with this.

Hi Bernard,

Assuming you created the custom field under the context business context of purchase document item MM_PURDOC_ITEM, then if you go under user interfaces tab of the custom field app, then you will be able to enable the usage for "Manage purchase order" (MM_PUR_PO_MAINT_V2_SRV).

Regards,

Dennis

Hi - if you have enabled usage, you may just need to clear the cache in your development environment - i.e. txn /UI2/INVAL_CACHES.  A lot of these settings are cached as they are rarely/never changed in production.
