SAP Note 1451330 - Storing customer fields from BSEG in APPEND

Summary :
SAP Note specifies a procedure to manage enhancements in transaction OXK3, specifically for the coding block and BSEG table without requiring modification adjustments during upgrades or when importing Support Packages. Previously, cluster tables like BSEG necessitated direct modifications to accommodate customer fields, but from Basis Release 7.00 and ERP Version ECC 6.0, the ABAP Dictionary supports cluster appends, simplifying the process. The recommended approach involves removing existing custom fields from BSEG and using .INCLUDE CI_COBL to re-add these fields via append structures, ensuring BSEG remains unmodified. This process requires meticulous adherence to the steps laid out in the note, including necessary pre-implementations and the caution to avoid data duplications or unnecessary conversions.
