Solved: Difference between User Exit and Routine

Former Member · ‎2007 Oct 20

Hi Experts ,

I would like to know the difference between user exit and routine.

For what purpose we use user exit and routine.

What are different types of routines and their use ?

And how to find them.

Any useful material or links related with user exit and routine ?

thanks ,

if you want some modification in standard programs then it might be useless when you upgrade the version of SAP. So for preventing it SAP has provided userexit where you can write your own code to achive your needs for standard transactions and it will not be useless when you upgrade the version as well... eg 4.7 to ECC 6

you can use transaction CMOD or SMOD for user exit...

For getting available userexits for any transaction run below program which will give you a list of userexits.....

just enter T code and get list of user exit...

Then choose the appropriate one for your use according to ur requirement..

Hi

Both are used to enhance the standard functionality of SAP application document related functionality

Routines are created using VOFM transaction

VOFM is the transaction where you can maintain routines for Output types, Pricing and Requirements, which are

assigned through cusomization.

To create a routine you need access key & routine no. starts with "9".for ex. 901,902 etc.

one important thing to note that even if you have some syntax errors inside your routine, it will get activated

without errors. So, you need to do Main Program check before activation.

Refer to SAP Note no : 327220,381348,156230.

goto VOFM tcode for wrting the Routines

from menu Requirements-> pricing

You can create the pricing related routines here

Use the Number from 900 only

take the acess key and try to copy the existing routine and change the code to your requirement and keep a break

point and see

Activate it before execution

USER EXITS

User exits (Function module exits) are exits developed by SAP. The exit is implementerd as a call to a function module. The code for the function module is written by the developer. You are not writing the code directly in the function module, but in the include that is implemented in the function module.

The naming standard of function modules for functionmodule exits is:

EXIT_<program name><3 digit suffix>

The call to a functionmodule exit is implemented as:

CALL CUSTOMER.-FUNCTION ❤️ digit suffix>

To find a Exit.

Goto Transaction -- Find The Package

SMOD ~~>f4~~>Use the Package here to Find the Exits In the Package.

Else if you Want to search by Application Area wise ,

There is one more tab to find the Exits in the Respective Application Area.

Implementing the Exit-- CMOD ~~Create Projects~~Assgn your Component .

Now Run ur Transaction to Check if it Triggers.

Thats it..
