Hi,

R/3 provides three "customization spots" that allow you to enhance FI/CO features without modifying the standard code. Although often collectively referred to as "user exits," two of the three have different names. SAP Enhancements are used to expand the standard functionality within SAP. Enhancements use function modules and are called from the standard SAP code. Each module in the system has a set of delivered enhancements that help companies expand the standard functionality where they need it. Enhancements were new in release 3.0.

The Open FI Interfaces or Business Transaction Events are also used to expand the standard functionality within SAP. These events are defined in the IMG. Business Transaction Events were new in release 4.0. They are not available for all modules and are not called on all integrated transactions into FI as of release 4.5B. This will change with each release and should be retested.

The older User Exits in FI/CO are "Z" programs that are defined in table T80D for client-dependent user exits, and in table T80I for client-independent user exits. These are also used to expand the standard functionality within the FI/CO modules. These User Exits have been available since the early releases of SAP. All of these FI/CO User Exits are listed in this document in the Configuring User Exits (Older). The list is included because these User Exits are not a part of the Enhancements or Business Transaction Events and do not have an Info System for searching.

Benefits

• Standard SAP functionality can be enhanced without modification to the standard code.

• Upgrades do not erase the functionality and it does not have to be re-transported or re-entered into the system. The enhancements should be thoroughly tested when upgrading to ensure the system will still work as implemented.

Configuring SAP Enhancements

Basic Steps in Configuring an Enhancement

• Find the appropriate Enhancement.

• Enter the ABAP code in the "Z" program within the function module.

• Create a project.

• Add the Enhancement to the project.

• Activate the project.

Example Business Scenario for Enhancements

Company A has a requirement to validate all customer master records created with a U.S. address. The U.S. entity reports on the industry field on the customer master. This is only a U.S. requirement and should not be required for the other countries, so the field status would not work. To accomplish this requirement, Company A will need to set up an Enhancement for the customer master transaction. The necessary steps are detailed below with screenprints. This example was configured in a 4.6C system.

Detailed Steps

1. Tools ABAP Workbench Utilities Enhancements Definition Utilities List Enhancements

2. Do not execute this without any parameters! There are too many Enhancements and it will probably time out. You’re searching for a customer master exit. Enter mast in the short text (see Figure 1). You’ll start there. Searching for an exit can be tricky, so make sure you try several things before giving up.

3. Execute the search.

FIELD EXITS

The field exits are managed,created,activated through program RSMODPRF. The field exit is associated with a data element existing in ABAP dictionary and hence to the screen field using that data element.

The format of field exit is :

FIELD_EXIT_dataelement_A-Z or 0-9

If a particular screen and program name is not specified than the field exit will effect all the screens containing that data element.

The function module associated with field exit shows two parameters

INPUT and OUTPUT. Input parameter contains the data passed to the field exit when the field exit was invoked by the R/3 , We can write our own code to change the output parameter depending upon our requirements.

Before the field exit can have any effect the system profile parameter

ABAP/FIELDEXIT in all the application servers should be set to YES

ABAP/FIELDEXIT = YES.

Hi,

Exits are basically the hooks whcih SAP has provided to add your own code. There are two types of Exits:

1. Customer exits: Implemented as Function Modules within z includes. Anybody can change it and no access key is required.

2. User Exit: Implemented as subroutines within includes (any include except y or z includes). You need access for the specific include and then you can any subroutine (user exit) within that Include.

BADIs are the enhanced version of user exits where the same logic is implemented via classes and object (OOP)

Enchancement point is the latest once introduces with ECC6.0 . Not very sure about that but you can change it without any access key.

Please go through the following link which will help you understand the exits in a much better way:

Hello,

User exits allow you to modify standard sap. A user-exit have an include that you should double-click in order to create it. Then in this include you can write the code you wish and use the information contained in the user exit's parameters.

A user exit can or not be 'activated'. If you do the previus and it seems that anything is being executed is because the user exit is not activated. The fastest way to know if a user exit is being executed or not is to set a breakpoint in it, then execute the standard program and seeing if it is entering in debug mode.

If a user exit is not activated, in order to activate it, you must create a project in cmod transaction, look for the enhancement associated to the user exit and include it in the project.

You can also check the following links:

In hope it will help you.
