we are using EBP 3.5 as our buying system. In order to use EBP for all our business processes we need several new fields. I heard that there is a functionality to add customer extension fields. How do I do that?
Customer extension fields can be added by creating (-if not already existing) or modifying several structures. There are existing two structures for every EBP business Document (e.g. shopping cart, order,..) - one for item fields and one for header fields.
The names of the customer extension structures always begin with the prefix CI_. In order to create a new field you have to add it to one of these structures.
The following SAP notes may help you further: For EBP internal fields you have to check note 458591. If you want to send those fields to another business System (like SRM SUS) via XML you should check note 494541.
