In SE11, when you create or display a table or structure, under the “Extras” menu → Enhancement Category, you can specify it.

Types of Enhancement Categories:

Enhancement Category Meaning
Cannot be enhanced No fields may be added. Used when the structure/table is sensitive or used in critical logic.
Can be enhanced (character-type only) Only character-like fields (CHAR, STRING, etc.) can be added.
Can be enhanced (any data type) Fields of any type (INT, DEC, etc.) can be added.
Cannot be classified System can’t automatically determine the enhancement impact — caution advised.

Example Use Case:

You have a standard SAP table you want to enhance with a custom Z-field using an append structure.
If the enhancement category is “Cannot be enhanced”, the system will block the enhancement.

If it’s “Can be enhanced (character-type only)”, you can add a ZFIELD of type CHAR10, but not of type DEC.
