Symptom
In the Custom Fields app, the expected Business Context for “Purchase Contract” is not available when creating a new field.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the Custom Fields app.
- Select New Field.
- In Business Context search, enter “Purchase Contract”.
- Observe that a Business Context for Purchase Contract is not found.
Cause
Purchase Contract and Purchase Order share the same Purchasing Document business context, so a created field may appear on both PO and Contract UI — control visibility separately via UI Adaptation
If the field should only be visible on Contract, configure it individually in UI Adaptation from the Manage Purchase Contracts app.
Resolution
In SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud, the Custom Fields app provides the following Business Contexts for Purchase Contract:
Header Level
| Business Context | Description |
| Purchasing Document - Header | Custom fields at contract header level |
Item Level
| Business Context | Description |
| Purchasing Document - Item | Custom fields at contract item level |
