<b>User-exits</b> are empty subroutines that SAP have provided to be filled by us. we can fill them with our own source code, they are in the standard sap programs so, technically this is a modification.

HI,

user exit is any place within standard SAP, where SAP have added

a mechanism for client specific code to be executed.

USER EXITS are FORMS and are called by SAP standard programs using PERFORM.Inside the form (user exit) you can read and change almost any global data from host program.

User exits are more flexible because you have more information to use in your codebut on the other hand,it is very easy to manipulate erroneously global data and leadthe standard program to a dump or even to make database inconsistent.
