I have not touched MARA and MM01/MM02/MM03 in years. So, I do not recall the exits. I do know that there is at least one SAP (OSS) note pertaining to the adding custom fields in the screens and MARA. That is not to say that the custom table should be your solution. But, I think you want to make sure of the purpose of your data.
And, definitely look at whether there are any extension structures. The only ones I remember off of the top of my head is for Purchasing Documents (i.e., CI_EKKODB, CI_EKPODB). These are the includes in EKKO and EKPO and also the extension structures. And, if they go beyond 960 characters then the BAPIs have a problem. And, nothing beyond 960 is updated.
Another thing is if you want to do update using BAPIs and extension structures, that is also still doable with custom tables.
Sorry for the late reply. It appears that my Exchange server did get it until after the day was done.
Cheers
John

Subject: Any Consideration Adding Custom Fields to Standard Tables?
Hi John,
Can you elaborate more on custom tables?
If I do custom tables then how can I maintain the relationship with the material number. Not between tables but in the GUI. For example if I maintain MM02 and want to update the custom fields that are in this custom table, can I do that?
Thanks,
neo |
