  Extension is a feature of the SAP Solution Manager (SV-SMG) that allows users to customize their system to meet their specific needs. It enables users to add new functionality, such as custom fields, to existing applications and processes. It also allows users to extend the capabilities of existing applications and processes by adding new features or modifying existing ones. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the extension feature, users must first create an extension in the SAP Solution Manager. This can be done by selecting the “Extensions” tab in the Solution Manager and then selecting “Create Extension”. Once an extension is created, users can then add custom fields, modify existing fields, or add new features to existing applications and processes. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an extension, it is important to consider the impact that the changes will have on other parts of the system. For example, if a custom field is added to an existing application, it may affect how other parts of the system interact with that application. It is also important to ensure that any changes made are properly tested before they are implemented in production.
