Hi,

Yes you can enhance COPA Data Source.

1)Go to RSA6 and find the data source you need to enhance.--> Display

2)Double click on the Extract structure.

3)Now click on the append structure button to add the required field on to the existing structure.

4) add your required fileds with ZZ appended to your field.

5) Save & Activate the append structure. Then go back and make sure you activate the extract structure also.

6) Now again go back to RSA6 and select your Data Source. But this time go to change Data Source to remove the hide option to the enhanced fields. By default they’ll be in hide mode. If you don’t remove the hide field then this field will not be seen in BW side.

7) Now go to SE38 to write the logic to populate the data into the enhanced field. Program name to write the logic is ZXRSAU01.

😎 Check + Save + Activate.

9) Check in RSA3 if data is populated as per your requirement.

10) Replicate your Data Source.

11) Now go to Data Source/ Trans. Structure screen. Now you can see the enhanced field on the right hand side.

Good Luck

Hello Vaka,

Typically you delete and recreate the COPA datasource. (Don't forget to replicate it to BW and map any changes in the infosource to your InfoProviders)

Is the field you are adding a key figure or a characteristic?

Let me know,
