[ Enhancement Workbench

Problem statement: Customers invested a lot of work in definingcustom-wise fields in their back end. In order to use them also inSales UI these fields need to be shifted to the UI properly and withlow effort

Customer-specific fieldsthat are already implemented in the SD

back-end logicare not immediately available. Using the Enhancement workbench, however, you can declare

these customer-specific fields in the Lean Order-API andintegrate them in the sales process

[ Enhancement Workbench

These customer-specific fields are then available in the fieldcatalogs for the User Interface, so that you can include yourcustomer-specific fields in the configurable sales UI.

Anadministrator is guided through different steps to add

customer-specific fields to LO-API and make them available in thefield selection of the configurable Sales UI

[ Use Case:Add Customer Fields to the configurable Sales UI

You already defined customer fields at database level

You already enhanced the backend logic for these fieldsaccordingly

Youwant to integrate these fields in the new configurableSales UI easily, fast, and almost at no cost
