  How to use it: 
  To use the custom extension feature, users must first create a query in the BW-BEX Business Explorer. Once the query is created, users can then add additional fields, calculations, and formulas to the query. To do this, users must select the “Custom Extension” option from the menu bar. This will open a window where users can enter their desired fields, calculations, and formulas.

  When using the custom extension feature, it is important to remember that any changes made will only be applied to the current query. If users want to apply the same changes to other queries, they must manually enter them again. Additionally, it is important to double-check all calculations and formulas before saving them as errors can lead to incorrect results.
