Hi Visu,

1. If a field needs to be added or deleted from a SAP standard table like for example MARA, is it possible?

Yes, it is possible to add or delete custom field from table MARA. Please use append structures to add new field.

For more information on append structures, please check this links.

There is no difference in handling date field. When you add new date field, you can refer to data element/domain datum.

Hope this will help.

We added a new field to the MARC table by appending a structure to the table.
