Manage User-defined Fields at Customer Order Line Entry
User-defined fields are custom fields which can be used for adding additional information on the customer order header. This provides flexibility to customize the data to be used as additional customer order information.
Manage user-defined fields at customer order line entry
On the customer order line, there are 20 fields that can be used as user-defined fields.
The fields consist of:
- 10 alphanumeric fields with up to 20 characters
- 6 numeric fields with up to 17 positions and 6 decimals
- 3 date fields
- 1 text field with up to 128 characters.
'User-defined Fields. Open' (CMS082) is used to specify headings, field lengths, allowed values, and other information for the fields.
On customer order line entry in 'Customer Order. Open Lines' (OIS101) the fields are managed on the K panel where they can be added to the panel sequence.
The fields can be added to views in 'Customer Order. Open Line Toolbox' (OIS301), 'Customer Order. Open Line Workbench' (OIS302), and in (OIS101). To add them to a view, the fields must first be generated in the respective field groups in 'Field Group. Display Permitted Fields' (CRS109).
The same set of fields exists for purchase order lines. In an internal sales scenario, the values specified on the internal purchase order lines can be automatically inherited on the generated customer order lines. This is controlled per field on 'CO Type. Update Field Selection' (OIS014/R). If the setup in (CMS082) for the purchase order lines fields does not correlate with the customer order line field setup, it can lead to a stop in 'Batch Customer Order. Open' (OIS275) as the specified value is not allowed on the customer order line.
Functional limitations
The user-defined fields are not supported in sales statistics, nor in any of the supporting customer order functions, such as fields in the mass update functions.
