Use

You use the Modification Assistant to modify delivered classes and interfaces and transaction SPAU to adjust them during upgrade or import of a Support Package.

You can modify classes and interfaces as follows:

Add attributes, methods, events, and internal types

Note

You cannot enter types directly in the modification mode for attributes and internal types.

Method	visibility, kind (static, instance-dependent), final, abstract	kind (static, instance-dependent)

Type	visibility, type	----
