regarding user exits

[Former Member]

Dear experts,

In SD module, After creating sales order and shipment Process, i want to save the sales order datas including shipment number datas into ADDON table.

Timing wise, Storing sales datas into ADDONTABLE must be done only after the shipment process. so i think i want to use user exits in shiping screen , using which i can save data to table.

Pls guide me whether my way of doing is correct or not.

my friends says User exits does not support in future so better not to use it..if so how to do with alternative.

pls guide me.

Hi ambi chan,

In ur current system, you may use the user exits that are currently provided. Yes it is true, that SAP is changing everything from user exits to BADI's.

Yes, if it has to update the table only after shipment, use the exits after shipment.

Remember to reward points to replies that solved ur problem.

Hi Ambi achan,

you can go to smod or cmod to search for user exits.

Or even se81.

User exits are essentially a FM which has an include.

The User exits are fo the form exit_<Prog Name>_NNN.

This is a FM. double click on this and u will see an include. Double click on this. it will ask u if u want to create the same if it is not already implememnted.

Confrim the same. and write whatever code u want to in the include.

Save adn Activate it.

This is not a question rather discussion to clear some concepts.

Well there seems to be lot of confusion amongst many people regarding User Exits.

To start with, there exists following ways to change the SAP Standard.

1. Customisation

2. Personalisation

3. Modifications

4. Enhancements

User exit :

One should understand that, User Exit is not a function rather it is Subroutine.Hence u will need to register the changes using SSCR. SMOD and CMOD is not applicable in this case.

• User exits started with Sales n Distribution module.

• They consist of empty subroutines (FORM - ENDFORM) in special Includes, which can be filled by a ABAPer.

• In special places in the SAP-CODE such subroutine references were inserted by SAP.

• An extension is thus only possible, where SAP planned it.

• They usually offer a rather rudimentary expandability,

• since purely technically objects in the SAP name area are modified.

Example :

Function pool SAPLV60A consist of below mentioned user exits containing empty subroutines.

If u need to add custom functionality u will need to have the SSCR Key.

include rv60afzz. " FORM's Userexit's

include rv60afza. " FORM's Userexit's

include rv60afzb. " FORM's Userexit's

include rv60afzc. " FORM's Userexit's

include rv60afzd. " FORM's Userexit's

Now since in user exits we are modifying the SAP code directly, there are problems when upgrading from one version to another.

Hence SAP came up with intelligent solution of Enhancements, which we generally do with SMOD (for searching the enhancements) and

CMOD (for Changing the enhancements). Further BADIs are object oriented view of enhancements only.

In case of enhancements we do not modify the SAP source code and hence SSCR keys are not necessary.

This is my interpretation regarding changing SAP stadard. Further discussion is welcome
