Filling field to select it in SNP planning map as selection condition

Dear all,

in APO cutsomizing you can maintain freely-definable attributes. We did so and added the field "merchandise category".

Now this field is available as object when you go to SNP planning book (transaction /SAPAPO/SDP94) and open the selection window for object selection.

See also the following screenshot

Now to my question:

Is there a possibility to use the standard field "merchandise category" (here it ist filled) in the SNP planning book as "selection condition"? Is it taken into account then?

It is possible to use it (as shown above) via "additional data". (see screenshot below)

But how is it possible to fill this field via stanard? Do I need ab BAdI for that?

CIF does not fill this field automatically, or?

Thank you very much and kindest regards,

Eva
