Screen 106: Maintain Enhancement Category (ECC 6.0 onwards)

1. -> Extras -> Enhancement Category2. Select Enhancement Category

Enhancement Category: Structures and tables that were defined by SAP in the ABAPDictionary can be enhanced subsequently by customers using Customizing includesor append structures. The enhancements do not only refer to structures/ tablesthemselves, but also to dependent structures that adopt the enhancement as aninclude or referenced structure. Append structures that only take effect at theend of the original structure can also cause shifts - in the case of dependentstructures - even within these structures.

Screen 107: Maintain Table -> Table Maintenance Generator

Screen 108: Generate Table Maintenance Dialog: Generation Environment

1. -> Utilities -> Table Maintenance Generator OR [] SE542. Specify Authorization Group [&NC&]3. Select Maintenance type [One Step/Two Step]4. Mention Screen Numbers [1/2]5. Save & Go Back

Single step: Only overview screen is created i.e. the Table Maintenance Program will have only onescreen where you can add, delete or edit records.Two step: Two screens namely the overview screenand Single screen are created. The user can see the key fields in the first screen and can further goon to edit further details.



Step 2: Generate Table Maintenance (SE54)

Screen 204: Change View Object Structure: Overview

1. -> Header Entry -> Enter Short text -> Activate View2. -> Object Structure -> Enter Table name & description3. -> Field-dependence -> Generate -> Header entry -> Activate View

Step 3: Create & Maintain Transaction (SE93)

Screen 301: Maintain Transaction

Screen 302: Create Transaction



1. [] SE93 Enter Transaction name -> Create2. Enter Short text3. -> Transaction with parameters

Why Select Transaction with parameters? Parameter transactions allow youto pre-assign values to the fields on the initial screen.

If you supply all of the necessary entries for the initial screen in this way, you can suppressthe screen when the transaction is executed.

Screen 303: Create Parameter Transaction

1. Enter Transaction text2. Enter default transaction [SM34]3. -> Skip Initial Screen4. Enter Names of Screen fields and values [VCLDIR-VCLNAME = SHOW = 'X']
