Hi,

From 4.6c onwards, Field exits will no more be supported by SAP. They removed the function of field exit but they had given lot of flexibility through userexit.

So, its better not to go with the implementation of field exit as recommended by SAP.

However, if you still required it, here is how to activate it :-

First called up transaction CMOD.

Then called up transaction PRFB.

or

Activation of the field exits and assignment of the dynpros can also be carried out using program RSMODPRF. For this purpose, the program must be started without parameters (input fields remain blank). If required, new field exits can be created using program RSMODPRF (see the program documentation).

Hi

You can use the field exit if the situation/requirement is controlled by using a field exit

There is no such implication to use them

Before 4.6 c you can use them from CMOD tcode

after 4.6 C run the program

RSMODPRF

enter the dataelement name

create the exit, for the program and create fun module and use it

You can only control the field INPUT and OUTPUT only

so for validate the value of field this can be used

But based on some other field you can't validate this like function exits.

Hi,

If you are using the field exits for the first time then it won't allow you to create it.

Basis team has to configure the profiles using RZ10 and RZ11 transactions.

Then you can create using the program RSMODPRF.

SAP is not supporting from 4.6C onwards but you can verywell use the field exit if you really need to use to fulfil your requirement.
