3796375 - Unable to create a custom field at Header Level in the Post Goods Movement app

Symptom

Unable to create a custom field at Header Level for "Post Goods Movement" (MIGO). 

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Access the "Custom Fields and Logic" app.
  2. Create a new custom field for Material Document Header level.
  3. Observe that there is no business context available for Material Document Header.

Cause

This functionality is currently not supported in standard SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud.

Custom fields in Inventory Management are currently only supported at the item level via the Business Context MATERIALDOCUMENTITEM (Inventory Management: Material Document Item).

Resolution

An extension request can be submitted through the SAP Customer Influence Portal for future releases. 

As a workaround, custom fields can be implemented at the Item level. This is explained in the the step-by-step guide in KBA 3700600 - How to add a custom field at Item Level in the Post Goods Movement app.

Note: A custom field cannot be updated after an MM Document has posted. The MM Document must be reversed/canceled and reposted with the correct custom field value.
