Difference between customer exits & user exits

[Former Member]

Hello!

I can not really differ customer exits from user exits.

There are tow txn SMOD and CMOD. Is there a difference or

is it the same.

I read some stuff about this subject (see: http://www.sap-img.com/abap/a-short-tutorial-on-user-exits.htm) and I was very obfuscated later. I think its time for

clarification of some facts. What about is the autor speaking here , customer exits or user exits ?

When I call the programm SAPMV45A I can see a lot of user exits under

Subroutines. These are really normal Subroutines with no code between its body

which is designated for the specific user-exit code.

While the autor which is above mentoned is telling something about

such statements. What is wrong and what is correct? Please enlighten my

nescience

EXIT_<program name><3 digit suffix>

The call to a functionmodule exit is implemented as:

CALL CUSTOMER.-FUNCTION ❤️ digit suffix>

????????????????????????????

There isn't much difference between the two. CMOD user exits allow greater control, and have a manageable, trackable framework, it's easy to see what's in use and what isn't.

As we users have no control over which type of exit SAP decided to put in, and where, we just have to use whatever meets our needs.

A customer exit is a type of user exit. A user exit is a handle that SAP put into their code, allowing a customer to add their own routines. There are many types of user exit, and often they differ between modules.

CMOD is the Project Management of SAP Enhancements (i.e., SMOD Enhancements). SMOD contains the actual enhancements and CMOD is the grouping of those SMOD enhancements.
