Now, lets move on to the next topic.

Create Custom Fields :

Step 1: Open SAP Fiori Launchpad from GUI using T-code ” /UI2/FLP “. After logging in to Fiori launchpad, we click on the area below that says Custom field and logic.

Step 2: Click on create button as seen in the picture. On the next screen, select Business context and fill in the label, identifier, tooltip and type fields. The label in this section fills the description field of the custom field in the table in GUI.

Step 3: Depending on the business context chosen on the previous screen, the system presents different options where this new field can be used in the system. This includes “UIs and Reports”, “Email Templates”, “Form Templates”, “Business Scenarios” and so on.
For example, let’s add the custom field we created to the “Sales Document to Delivery Document on Header” section using these tabs.

Step 3 – 1: Click on the “Business Scenarios” tab and enable the “Sales Document to Delivery on Header Level section“.
