multiple use BADIs

Hi ABAP Gurus,

Can someone brief a scenario in which multiple use BADI was used or will be helpful.

Thanks,

Soorya

Hello Soorya

Example of multiple-used BAdIs (ca. 850 in ECC 5.0) are:

- BADI_MATERIAL_CHECK (Enhanced checks for material master table)

- BADI_SD_BILLING (Billing Enhancements)

- BUPA_PCARD_CHECK (Additional Checks for Payment Cards)

Many, if not most, of these BAdIs are used for checking or validating data. The active implementations of such a BAdI must be independent meaning they must not rely on a specific calling order (see SAP documentation below).

<b>Multiple Usability for BADI Definitions</b>

Definition                                                                                
Multiple use for BADI definitions  means that there can be several      
    active BADI implementations. When there is a call, they are all called  
    up - however, in an unpredictable sequence.                                                                                
If you have multiple-use BADI definitions, the sequence must not play   
    any role therefore. A typical example is the execution of checks before 
    a save.

Uwe

Hi Uwe,

Thanks for the reply. But I was looking for a more specific scenario.

In which scenario do we need multiple BADI implementations for the same definition. Can't the same functionality be achieved using a single implementation.

Why would we need multiple implementations for BADI_MATERIAL_CHECK.
