System Modifications

[Former Member]

Hello,

I'm looking at potential system enhancements within SD and would like to know in what circumstance would I use a:

1. USER EXITS

2. BADI

3. CUSTOMER EXISTS

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Best wishes

Hi Ezra,

I think fundamentally user and customer exits are basically the same. This is a programming area SAP provides its customers for custom code/routines. So for example the order save user exit runs at order save. You can add code to this user exit to do any number of things like custom gaps or field validations or... just about anything you can think of.

Here is an article explaining: http://www.sap-img.com/abap/what-is-user-exits.htm

Here is a blurb on BADI's you may find more useful than if I try to explain them: http://www.sap-img.com/abap/difference-between-badi-and-user-exits.htm

Hope this helps,

Johnny

Hi,

You will get all the enhancements, BADI, BTE in SPRO in below link.

Sales & Distribution -> System Modification -> User Exit.

Sales & Distribution -> System Modification -> BADI.

Sales & Distribution -> System Modification -> BTE.

Also if you click on the any icon beside the node you will get all the information about the exit and for what purpose you can use it.

Thanks,
