Hi,

Filter definitions are used to specify the squence of the steps in a implementations that are developed for a particular BADI.

Filter dependence for BADI definitions means that each interface method automatically has an importing parameter FLT_VAL assigned ot it. This parameter must be filled with a filter value as current parameter when it is called.

A BADI definition should be marked as filter-dependent whenever the characteristic of the BADI implementation should match the characteristics of the filter type - that is, whenever the implementation of different filter values should be different or should only exist at all for certain filter values.

Typical filter types are line of industry or country.

Hi,

A filter enabled BADI def simply means that it would have the filter variable as an input parameter and you can differnetiate which implementation to trigger for which filter value .

Also please see below discussion on the topic.
