Quite often we come across instances where we require custom fields on the face of quotations,
orders, etc. To achieve this, SAP has provided an Additional tab named Additional Data
tab B at header and item level in VAxx transactions. However, over a period of time, these
additional tabs get cluttered with many custom fields, especially in a matured project. Now if
the business demands more custom fields on quotations, orders on a new tab altogether, what
is the solution?
Yes, you’re right! We require more tabs; preferably next to Additional Data tab B.
Well, we first need to add custom fields to VBAK table using APPEND STRUCTURE. It’s assumed
we all know it already.
Now, if you’re using a system with Enhancement Pack 6 installed, you’d be delighted to
know SAP has provided a BAdI
named BADI_SLS_HEAD_SCR_CUS/BADI_SLS_ITEM_SCR_CUS. You can find
this in SPRO
All you need to do is just implement this BAdI. Use the methods ACTIVATE_TAB_PAGE to
populate name of the Tab, custom program name and the dynpro number. Next,
useTRANSFER_DATA_TO_SUBSCREEN and TRANSFER_DATA_FROM_SUBS
CREEN methods for passing the data to and fro from screen to workarea. More info here.
And Voila! You can see the custom tab added next to Additional Data Tab B.
HOWSOEVER! For a few unfortunate souls like me who come to know their SAP system is not
yet on Enh Pack 6, adding a new tab to VAxx becomes a challenge because the aforementioned
BAdIs are not available in the older systems.
So, what needs to be done?
Well, I’m sure most of you have heard of this transaction named VFBS.
Yes, we’re now going to add a new tab to sales transactions in SAP using this very transaction!
Step2: Select Tab Control and click Change button and add below records for header
and item tabs
Program Name: SAPMV45A
Screen Group: K0 (Screen Group for Header) and in case of item, the screen grp
is P0
Number: 131 or the number immediately after Additional Data Tab B
Funct. Code: Any custom function code (eg. ZCM)
Description: Any meaningful description you want on the tab
Step3: Enter program name as SAPMV45B, select the first radio button Function
Codes and click Change
Create new entries as below
Now find the entries maintained for KZKU and PZKU function codes.
We’re going to clone these entries as is and change the FCcode and Subsequent
Panel to ZCM (Header) and ZCM2 (Item)
Step5: Select the third radio button on the main screen and click on the Change button
Clone it and rename Panel to ZCM. Change the Location description to something
meaningful
K0 as explained in step # 2, is the header group. Screen # 4002 is the dynpro number for
Header tab.
Below screenshot taken using System->Status in VA22 on Additional
Data Tab B
Detailed view of the record created in this step is as shown below
I’ve kept Screen module 2 as 8309. This can be changed to screen # 8310 too. In that case,
we’d simply need to add a line of code on the flow logic of screen # 4312 below this line.
