For specific needs, you may have to add some fields to a SAP standard Infotype. In this

topic, we will add a test field in the infotype 0001. The field will be called ZZCOLLEGE,

which will be a dropdown list linked to a specific table.

3 transport requests will be created:

- for Workbench

- for the customer include definition

- for the specific table

I. First, you have to create the specific table and the related data elements (see the

corresponding topic) :

II. Customer include structure creation

You will be forwarded to the transaction SE11 to add the elements to your customer

include. In this example, we want to add just one field (ZZCOLLEGE) :

In order to display a dropdown list with the values of the specific tableZHRPA_COLLEGE, we have to create an Entry help/check with the third tab :

Forward to SE38 :

This module pool allows you to manage the customer include's fields, in PBO (Process

Before Output) and PAI (Process After Input).

- MPPDAT00/FP50PPSB/MPPERS00 : Standard display management (do not modify)

- ZPNNNN10 : Specific datas declaration- ZPNNNN2O : Specific PBO modules

- ZPNNNN3O : Specific PAI modules

- ZPNNNN40 : Forms. There is a standard form called 'FILL_LISTSTRUCT' which isused to fill additionnal fields on the listscreen as defined by T582C-LISTSTRUCT

The first task to do is to create the field on the screen, check "Layout Editor" and click on

"change" to open the screen painter :

- Create the label zone

- Check "From dict" if you want to read automatically the data dictionnary informations. In

this example, the painter will see the Entry help/check linked to the table

ZHRPA_ZZCOLLEGE. It will display automatically a dropdown list.

- If you want to manage the field in the table T588M, do not forget to set the groups.

You can now add some processes to the flow logic of the screen. Example, we want call a

specific module on the field ZZCOLLEGE to control his value :

The module "ZZCOLLEGE" must be declared in the include ZP000130, cause it's a PAI

module which checks the input :
