Resolution

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

  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.
