SAP Business ByDesign

1. Open a Shopping Cart.
2. Create an Extension Field in Shopping Cart General Information.
3. Click on Show Further Usage button.
4. Navigate to Extension Scenarios tab.

See that no extension scenarios were found.

This is how the system is designed, it is not possible to extend an Extension Field from Shopping Cart Header to another document.

As a workaround you can use the Shopping Cart item level Extension Field, this can be extended to Purchase Request item and then to Purchase Order item.

1. On the screen on which you created the extension field, enter adaptation mode by selecting Enter Adaptation Mode form the Adapt menu.
2. Select Edit Screen from the Adapt menu.
   • The adaptation panel opens on the right side of the screen.
3. Under Extension Fields, select the extension field you created previously and scroll down until you can see the extension field details.
4. Click the Further Usage link.
5. On the Extension Scenarios tab of the Further Usage screen, you can see a list of all extension scenarios to which you can add this extension field.
   • Click on the arrow icon next to the extension scenario name to view a list of data flows. Each data flow consists of a source and target business context. This reflects the direction in which data is passed from one business context to the next. An extension scenario can contain one or more data flows.
6. Select the extension scenarios that you want to extend and click Add Field.
   • The extension field is made available in all business contexts involved in the selected extension scenarios. This means that you can now add the extension field to all screens, form templates, data sources and reports that are based on these business contexts.
7. To make the extension field visible on the screens that are part of each extension scenario, you must navigate to the screen, and select Enter Adaptation Mode from the Adapt menu.
