There is not much difference between a user exit and a BADI from a functional stand point. Both of them give us options write custom code that will fire in between the standard code. However, the way these have been implemented differ.

One is implemented using function modules / includes (user exits) and the other one using classes and methods (BADI's).

The best way to find out which user exit to use will be look at the parameters that are accessible and see if they contain the data that you are looking for. You can always put a break point and see if they are firing at the point where you require them.

BAdi & Customer-Exit

Though there a different enhancement technique, BAdi has following distinct features

-Uses Object oriented approach

-Two parts - Definition and its Implementation - definition can either be SAP provided or user may also create it

-no longer assumes a two-system infrastructure (SAP and customers)

-allows multiple levels of software development (by SAP, partners, and customers, and as country versions, industry solutions, and the like)

Hi,

BADI's are Object oriented related(class interface methods,).

User-exits are mostly FM's.

hi Saurabh,

hope this helps

BADI is just an object-oriented version of user-exit. Instead of entering program code into some function module (as in customer-exit), you define some class which has to implement predefined methods and those methods are fired at predefined points just like an old user-exit. Some BADI can have multiple independent implementations which is much better for software deployment as several developers can implement the same BADI independently. See details here.

Hi Joshi,

User exit is through writing your codes in empty subroutines provided by SAP.

BADI is through OO approach..

The New enhancement framework(Netweaver2004s) is fully based on Kernel BADI..So BADI is the future in the area of enahancement in SAP..

Hi ,

BADIs And user exists are sap provided enhancements for user. main difference ibetween BADI and USER Exists is BADI are multi purpose . we can copy inferface we can write or code there. but in user exist we write code in sap include. badi are oops developments ( class ans methods) tcode for badis se18,se19.

Hi,

1. In user exits we go by general method

for enhancements while BADIs we use objects (oops

concepts)methods for enhancement

2. BADI'S are dev. by class and inheritence methods

where as "User Exits" dev by SAP only and empty

shells filled with user logic

3. UserExits r used for adding additional functionality

to the existing SAP standard transactions.Using

UserExits we can add additional functionality

standard SAP functionality without making any changes

to the original code.BADI is a standardized interface

for ABAP sources that enables partners and customers

to enhance SAP-delivered programs in their namespace.

I hope this is suffice.

Hi Saurabh,

This will surely give you basic differences btw user exits and BADI's.

UserExits are used for adding additional functionality to the existing SAP standard transactions.Using UserExits we can add additional functionality standard SAP functionality without making any changes to the original code.

BADI is a standardized interface for ABAP sources that enables partners and customers to enhance SAP-delivered programs in their namespace.

In user exits we go by general method for enhancements while BADIs we use objects (oops concepts) methods for enhancement.

BADI's are developed by class and inheritence methods where as user exits are developed by SAP only and empty shells filled with user logic.

The difference between BADI and User Exits is that during upgradation we have to take care of all the user exits.

the user exits have a huge impact during the upgradation.but it is easy to do upgradation using BADI's
