Yes Field-Exit is a miracle!

you can do anything with it,

you have to do it from tcode CMOD , and then write "PRFB" in transaction area and press enter and...

Also it's easy to find many step by step tutorials in net that has screen shot

and it's a good link:

Hi Gaurav,

Answering to your questions..

 Now my requirement is 
1. Remarks should be long text but characteristics maximum value is showing 30 characters long.

This is a limitation in the characteristics value, max. of 30 characters allowed. May be you can try to make the remarks more objective type of selection for user instead of giving free text to comment.

2. Amount Deposited = Duty tax + penalty Amount + Gross Weight.

For this you need to make this characteristic as 'Not ready for input' and do a development for calculation.

Hi Ravi,

Thanks for the response.

Remarks & feedback can not be objective. Is their any workaround to exceed the characteristics Char limit. ?

What kind of development i should go, By adding dependency / formulae or Abap development.

Pls suggest.

Hi Gaurav,

I don't think so we will be able to extend the char length to more that 30.

And for the other question, you need to do a ABAP development after save using DIR key.

Ravi
