Menu-Exit

Former Member — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 07:50:36 GMT

Hi All,

I'd like to know exactly what the purpose of a menu-exit is, and how to test a menu-exit?

For transaction KOBP/KSBP:

I'm trying to test a menu-exit that i've activated.

I went through transaction SMOD , enhancement: COOMLA01.

Clicked the test button.

Double-clicked on "Menu exit".

Entered the Icon, Icontext , etc.

Then clicked the activate button.

Then i hit the "Execute Test" button.

Then in the pop-up "Test Transaction" i entered KSBP/KOBP.

Then i executed the program.

What now? Should I see an entry in the menu-bar? I don't see anything.

Thanks!

Menu exits allow you to add your own functions to the pulldown menus in standard R/3 transactions. To take advantage of a menu exit, you first need to create a project as described in the section Creating an add-on project. Then, you must include the SAP enhancement package that contains the menu exit you want to use in your project. From the main screen of the Project management transaction, proceed as follows:

Select Enhancement components and choose Change.

The system lists all customer exits contained in the enhancements included in your project.

Place the cursor on the menu exit you want to add your own function to.

Choose Edit component.

The system displays technical information about the menu entry. It also displays two input fields where you can specify a language and the text you want your menu item to have.

Enter the name of your menu function (such as Special order method) in the field New text.

Choose Save text.

Your special menu function will not appear in the pulldown menu of the corresponding standard transaction until you activate your enhancement project.

Specifying a menu text and activating your project are not the only steps you need to take to make your own menu item work. After you carry out these steps, your menu item will appear, but it will not call a corresponding function. To attach your menu entry to its corresponding function, you need to create a function module for the function module exit associated with your menu text. This function module exit is part of the same SAP enhancement that contains the menu exit you used. Creating Customer-Specific Function Modules tells you more about how to use function module exits.

In older versions MENU Exits approached through Transaction CMOD by creating

PROJECTS and activating the project and assigning Program to that

Transaction Codes. For MENU Exits, Transaction Codes will be starting with

"+" sign and with default text "NODE TEXT NOT FOUND" for which you can

assign your Report or Dialog Program etc., (for Eg:- +DW4 MENU Exits

Transaction available in TOOLS --> ABAP Workbench --> Utilities --> <Node

Text Not found>).

Procedure for Creating MENU Exits.

1) To get into Area Menu Maintenance Screen Type SE43 T.Code in Command

Line.

2) In Area Menu Paramenter type 'S000' (S triple Zero)

3) Then Press Change Icon in Application Tool Bar. Then It may ask for

Access Key [or] it may display "Specify Processing mode" window. If it ask

for the Access Key Check for the availability of OSS Note and apply to open

Standard SAP Menu to include MENU Exits. Otherwise, if it display "Specify

Processing mode" window with Three Push Button. In which select "Change" and

proceed further.

4) Then it will display "Information" window with the following information

"Caution : The Original Language of the structure is German (editing lang. :

English) ". Then press "Enter Key to proceed further.

5) Then you will get into "Edit Area Menu S000".

6) for eg:- Expand Tools Menu.

7) Then Press ABAP Workbench <Icon>.

😎 Then you will get into ABAP Workbench Menu Tree.

9) Then Expand Utilities Menu.

own menu. "Node Text Not Found" This text can be change by double Clicking

that. There you can find the T.Code. Here for Eg:- "+DW4".
