Prerequisite
Kindly read the previous 6 part of the article, it will make you to feel comfortable to read this article.

Introduction
The SAP enhancement RSAP0001 is available if you want to fill fields that you have added to the extraction
structure of a Data Source as an append structure. This enhancement is made up of the following
enhancement components:

Data Type Enhancement Component
Transaction data exit_saplrsap_001
Attributes, texts exit_saplrsap_002
Hierarchies exit_saplrsap_004

Scenario:
You have to append the standard business content data source 2LIS_11_VAITM with a field MTART (
Material Type ) from MARA table .

Communication structure check
First check if the field that you need to enhance is available in the communication structure. If it is there
1. Deactivate the datasource in LBWE & clear the delta queue (RSA7)
2. Drag the fields from the pool.
3. Activate the datasource..
This scenario requires no coding to populate the enhanced filed.
Every extract structure is related to one or more communication structures (and for every communication
structure involved an include)

So if we can find the field MTART in any of this communication structure then we can drag the field to the
extract structure, But in our case the field MTART is not in MCVBAK and MCVBAP. So now the option is to
append the extract structure and write a code to populate that. In simple terms To do this, go to RSA6,
choose your datasource, double-click on it and then on the extract structure: you will see an SE16 screen,
create an append, insert your ZZ* fields, save.

Steps: Source System Side
RSA2 -> Give the data source name -> Click Display, Note Extract structure Name

The extract structure for 2LIS_11_VAHDR is MC110VAITM
SE11 -> MC11OVAITM ->Display

You can see many fields, In this You have to add MTART Filed from MARA, So click Append Structure
Button in application tool bar .

Now Name of append will come automatically, Just Enter

Now Press Dispay -> Change , The following Message comes , Press Enter

Now the Buttons will be enabled and editor color changes

Now To insert a Code Press Insert Button within that Write the ABAP code
The code is here
Tables : MARA .
Declare the L_S_VAITM to have structure if MC11VAOITM .
Data : L_S_VAITM LIKE MC11VA0ITM .
Place Cursor within Case Data Dource ………..Enddata source , Press Insert .
Give the Name of Data Source that you have Enhanced and write the Code
case i_datasource.
When '2LIS_11_VAITM'.
Loop at C_T_DATA Into L_S_VAITM .
L_TABIX = SY-TABIX .
Select Single * From MARA where MATNR = L_S_VAITM-MATNR.
If sy-subrc = 0.
L_S_VAITM-MTART = MARA-MTART.
Modify C_T_DATA FROM L_S_VAITM INDEX L_TABIX.
Endif .
Endloop.
