Hello all,
In our implementation, we add new doctors through transaction NG04, in table NGPA.
Recently, due to legislative changes we have to also maintain two new insurance numbers for each doctor - let's call this new numbers "IN2" & "IN3". Our SAP consultants/developers handled this by creating a NEW table, where the "IN2" & "IN3" are stored, together with some other data related to each doctor.
Now, when we add a new doctor we have to insert data TWICE, once for the NGPA table and once for the new table. I'd like to make clear that we need the NGPA entry for using the doctor in admissions/services/etc, and the new table for getting the "IN2" & "IN3" insurance numbers, used in custom reports.
My questions is this:
Is it possible to add new fields in an existing SAP table, i.e. NGPA? Could we also change the NG04 dialogue, so that it contains the two new fields, so that ONLY ONE table (NGPA) is maintained? Isn't this something that consultants/developers would be aware of?
I feel that the answer is "yes" to both questions, but i'd like to hear it from more experienced developers.
Thanks for reading and answering.
