  • Missing entries in the copy behavior configuration table T130F with proper reference indicator (KZREF).
  • Field selection group assignment is not configured for custom fields.

Resolution

  1. The field needs to be maintained in table T130F before it can appear in the configuration Define Copy Behaviour of Fields in Material Master.
  2. Note that the configuration Define Copy Behaviour of Fields in Material Master is specific to only Retail, as mentioned in the configuration help:


  3. Understand that in S/4HANA Public Cloud, custom fields are created using the Custom Field Application and are not available in the classical MM01/MM02/MM03 apps.
  4. Refer to the recommendation to use "Manage Product Master Data" instead, which supports custom fields using extensibility but does not allow the addition of custom fields to table T130F.
