Creating set type for adding custom field in product master

The standard Product, Service, Warranty and Finance Master in SAP CRM provides lot of commonly used product attributes to be maintained in various fields. These attributes are logically put together ins different sets or example Basic Data set of fields has attributes Product description, dimensions, weight etc.

There may be a situation when certain field has to be maintained which is not provided by SAP CRM. I have taken up case where we have to maintain Product Life as one of the attribute to be maintained in Product Master.

SAP CRM has provision to create new SET Types and new ATTRIBUTES that can be assigned to Product hierarchy, So that all product masters in that hierarchy has provision to enter product life.  This way the Product master can be easily extended to add new information about the product.
Adding field in product master, Service Master, Warranty Master, Finance Master.
