Symptom
- When creating a custom field using the Custom Field Application, the field is not available in the configuration Define Copy Behaviour of Fields in Material Master (SSCUI 10649).
- This issue limits the usability of reference material and reference sites in Retail for maintaining master data after go-live.
- Attempting to add the missing entry in table T130F through configuration results in display mode only.
- Error occurs when searching for or entering the field custom field.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Alternate steps:

- Select Products
- Select Materials
- Open Central Configuration for material master : Assign field to field selection groups

Cause
- Custom fields are not registered in the central field table T130F for Material Master Maintenance.
- 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
- The field needs to be maintained in table T130F before it can appear in the configuration Define Copy Behaviour of Fields in Material Master.
- Note that the configuration Define Copy Behaviour of Fields in Material Master is specific to only Retail, as mentioned in the configuration help:
- 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.
- 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.
