SAP Note 44410 - Integrating cust.-specific fields in matl master

Component : Material Master -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/44410 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note guides on integrating customer-specific fields into material master maintenance, starting with Release 3.0C. To incorporate fields into tables like MARA or MARC, append structures should be used, ensuring dynamic assignments by keeping field name lengths consistent with standard fields until Release 4.0A, post which length restrictions are relaxed. For ALE and change document considerations, set the 'Change document-relevant' indicator. Enhancements in online maintenance require creating a subscreen in a copied standard function group, assigning it to maintenance screens via Customizing, and adjusting field entries in the central field table T130F for material master maintenance. For data transfer via direct input or ALE, it's crucial to integrate custom fields into relevant data structures and IDocs while maintaining compatibility and activation across structures and programs.

Key words :
