Note

You can add certain additional fields to business process master data. For this, you have the enhancement COOMBP01 Business Process: Customer Own Additional Field in Master Data. You can maintain the additional fields for each separate master data record on its own tab. Selection variants for the additional fields support selection of master data for deletion and for list display.

To create the additional fields in the Implementation Guide (IMG) for the Activity-Based Costing component (CO-ABC), choose Master Data ® Business Processes ® Developing Enhancements for Business Process Master Data .

For more information on the enhancement COOMBP01, see the enhancement documentation. To find the documentation in enhancement transaction SMOD, choose Display SAP documentation.
