These are two different ways of implmenting similar functionality.

1. BADI's - Use Classes / Methods to implement the custom functionality

2. User Exits - Use functions to implement the same.

Badi is a OO concept.

You can do multiple implementation of BADI but user exit only once.

For badi use se18 and se19 t-code

for user exit use smod and cmod t-code

check this link.

hi,

User exits are some provisional space in the standard program for you to write your own business functionality.

BADI's are some of the business add-in's that comes along with the standard SAP product but are disabled as most of the customers do not need it. So for those customers who need this will have to activate it and that functionality will be avilable in the transaction.

hope it clears your doubt.

hi

They are two different methods to do the same thing: to check and update the data into std trx.

The user-exit is the old concept based on function module

The BADI is the new concept based on OO ABAP.

So you can often to find a BADI and an USER-EXIT to do the same thing and you have to decide what you prefer to use.

Anyway the new trx and the enjoy trx use BADIs as exit

Hi,

There are three generations of user-exits in SAP ABAP now.

First generation: there had been empty subroutines in place in the coding where you could add your code. However, this required to modify code of SAP standard programs. Example: search for forms starting USEREXIT.. in SAPMV45A

Second generation: CUSTOMER-FUNCTION. In certain places of SAP standard code there are calls CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION ‚001' . These routines can be defined with SMOD edited with transaction CMOD.

Third generation: using ABAP objects instances, they are called BADI. They are call with CALL METHOD (instance) .... they are created with transactions SE18/SE19. To find BADI search for the word EXIT_HANDLER in the coding.

Look at the below links, you will get the exact differences
