Hi,

May be these FAQs help you to understand better.

Why do you need enhancements ?

The standard applications do not offer some of the functionality you need. The R/3 enchancement concept allows you to add your own functionality to SAP's standard business applications.

What are the different types of enhancements ?

Enhancements using customer exits

Customers' potential requirements which are not included in the standard software are incorporated in the standard as empty modification 'shells'. Customers can then fill these with their own coding. Enhancements can relate to programs, menus and screens. Upward compatibility is assured. In other words, SAP guarantees that the jump from the standard software to the exit and the interface which call the exit will remain valid in future releases.

Enhancements to ABAP/4 Dictionary elements

These are ABAP/4 Dictionary enhancements (creation of table appends), text enhancements (customer-specific key words and documentation for data elements) and field exits (creation of additional coding for data elements).

What is customer development ?

Creating customer-specific objects within the customer name range.

Which 2 transaction codes are used to manage enhancements?

Ans: SMOD and CMOD

Which enhancement is local, which is global:

Field Exits

Screen Exits

Program Exits

Menu Exits

Where can you create an enhancement to show your own F1 Help on a field?

Ans: in POH

What enhancements can be created using Cmod?

Ans: Customer Enhancements, i.e., Field Exits.
