Changing a standard function VS user-exit

Former Member — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 09:41:36 GMT

Hi all,

I found that on one hand, there is a standard SAP function which could be changed directly and easily with an access key, and on the other hand, there is a user-exit which may serve the purpose (less direct way).

I'd like to know what's the impact for changing a standard SAP function. Should I change it or make use of the user-exit instead?

Thanks!

go with user exit.

if u change the standard one, when u upgrade u r version u have to handle it explicitly.

Hi,

You do it with user-exit. user-exits are like hooks which are provided by SAP. It is the safe one.

If you change it direcly using access key, then there is a problem arises when it is upgraded. You have to handle yourself the modified code.
