Since the introduction of Enhancement framework this is new button for modification free enhancement of coding. Read the blogs from Thomas Weisz on Enhancement and Switch framework.

Hi,

The enhance button is a part of the SAP Enhancement Framework and it is used to enhance the Standard SAP Program.

As we know that a standard SAP program can be viewed only in Display mode and we do not have the authorization to edit the code.

By using the enhance button, the places where the code can be enhanced would be shown and hence the user can insert his custom code in the avaliable places.

Hope this clarifies your query.

Thanks,

Thanks for your answer but whats the difference between enhance and modification button?

Hi,

I believe you are talking about the modification which is used to insert, delete lines etc.

Modification is used when you want to modify a SAP standard code which requires an access key whereas Enhancement is used to enhance the code without modifying the standard code. Enhancements are provided by SAP so that customers can include their own code at these enhancement spots without modifying standard code l(ike the functionality of user exit, BADI etc.)

Regards,

Soumya.

it is just for applying patch works to your code

it is available right from ECC 6.0

directly it will imply on the SAP standard code

normally the enhancement points will be available at start of form or end of from

it will allow you to add the code there
