You can do it in two ways using append structure or include structure of that standard table.

once you added , you need to adjust it and activate using the menu utilities->data base utulity-> Activate and Adjust .

check this SAP help..

for append structure

for include structure.

Which of these is better ?

Hello Amit,

Always from the point of view of upgration it is always better to use APPEND than INCLUDE unless it is provided in user exit.
