Custom fields in CATS

[Former Member]

We have created a custom field in the CATS entry screen and this field has been added to the CATSDB table, till then we are clear but my question is how to transfer this custom field to PTEX2000 and PTEXDIR tables and eventually to 2001 and 2002 Infotypes assuming we creating a custom fields even in 2001 and 2002 infotype records.

Well there is a limitation in SAP to extend on CATS fields. SAP allows to extend on the CATS transaction but does not support pushing custom fields through the entire transaction and updates mechanism. If you really need to do this you will have to do a couple of modifications.

To ease the pain you can utilize some of the BAdIs and function modules to push data through but you will still need to extend some of th estructures according to your purposes.
