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
- Access the "Custom Fields and Logic" app.
- Create a new custom field for Material Document Header level.
- 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.
