Hi Experts,

Can anybody send me user exists material and what is the difference between function exists and menu exists?

User Exits

The R/3 enhancement concept allows you to add your own functionality to SAP’s standard business applications without having to modify the original applications.

SAP creates user exits for specific programs, screens, and menus within standard R/3 applications.

These exits do not contain any functionality. Instead, the customer exits act as hooks. You can hang your own add-on functionality onto these hooks.

Menu exit

Menu exits make it for the customer possible to build and occupy with a function code in an SAP application new menu entries.

SAP determined, where in the program additional function codes are queried and like to it is being reacted, either by a functional module exit or by an already firmly given functionality.

Function exit

By functional module exits the customer can implement additional logic in an application function.

SAP built such exits in different places into many application functions. Thus are the interfaces are already given, and/or which data handed over.

These functional modules can be filled now by the customer. It can insert also user Dynpros with associated processing logic and GUI surface and put on user text elements.

These r the main differences between user exits and customer exits

1) user exits r subroutines where as customer exits r function modules

2) user exits r not upgraded where as customer exits r will upgrade

3) customer exits r used for creating and additional fields or menu items to stadard tcode where as user exits r used for enabling or disabling the fields on the standrd screen or concatenating the key fields,it is not used adding an additional componenats to stadard tcode

4) customer exits r reusable where as user exits r not reusable.

Also:

1. Customer exits: Implemented as Function Modules within z includes. Anybody can change it and no access key is required.

2. User Exit: Implemented as subroutines within includes (any include except y or z includes). You need access for the specific include and then you can any subroutine (user exit) within that Include.

BADIs are the enhanced version of user exits where the same logic is implemented via classes and object (OOP)

Enchancement point is the latest once introduces with ECC6.0 . Not very sure about that but you can change it without any access key.

Please go through the following link which will help you understand the exits in a much better way:

1. Previously there were only user-exits.

2. Then came the concept of customer-exits.

3. user exits were nothing but subroutines

FORM/PERFORM

called from standard programs.

4. The FORM defintion was placed inside

an empty include file.

5. So It was called EVERYTIME.

and we need to MODIFY/REPAIR the

standard include .

6. Then it came with concept of customer-exit

7. It consists of calling a FUNCTION MODULE,

which is called only if

the user-exit is ACTIVATED (other wise not called)

In this case, the code in put inside

a pre-defined Z include.

8. Functionality of both is same, howerver

we can note the following important differences

a) Customer exit is called only if activated.

(hence, it does not waste resources)

b) in customer exit, REPAIR does not happen

to the standard include.

Exits are basically the hooks whcih SAP has provided to add your own code.

User Exits: These are provided only SD module .

They are Empty subroutines with naming like USEREXIT_.

We need to have Access key to implement them.

Customer Exits: These are enhancement techniques.

There are defined in SMOD and implemented in CMOD.

Types of Customer exits: Function exit, Screen Exit, Menu exit.

User Exit and Customer Exit are same ,but SAP Exit and Customer exit are different...

Customer Exit,

Enables you to determine values for variables by means of Functional Module exit.The function module used is EXIT_SAPLRRSO_001.

Create a project in CMOD by selecting the SAP Enhancement RSR00001 and assign this to the enhanced proj and activate it.

Customer Exit

SAP creates customer exits for specific programs, screens, and menus within standard applications. These exits do not contain any functionality. Instead, the customer exits act as hooks. You can hang your own add-on functionality onto these hooks.

If you want to enhance the functionality of your SAP System, you should take advantage of the exits available in standard applications. There are two main reasons why you should use exits rather than modifying SAP software yourself. Add-ons attached to exits have the advantage that:

• They do not affect standard SAP source code

When you add new functionality to your SAP System using SAP’s exits, you do not alter the source code of standard SAP programs in any way. The code and screens you create are encapsulated as separate objects. These customer objects are linked to standard applications, but exist separately from SAP’s standard software package.

• They do not affect software updates

When you add new functionality to your SAP System using SAP’s exits, your objects (called customer objects) must adhere to strict naming conventions. When it comes time to upgrade a to a new software release, customer objects’ names ensure that they will not be affected by any changes or new additions to the standard software package.

Customer exits are not available for all programs and screens found in the SAP System. You can only use customer exits if they already exist in the SAP System. You find find more information about locating applications with pre-defined exits in Locating Applications that have Exits

SAP EXIT:this processing type contained in variables that are delivered with SAP BW business content.

User Exits: allow you to add additional functions to the SAP standard.

Programs with user exits contain subroutine calls at certain points in their syntax that are identified by the prefix USEREXIT. The actual user exits are located in an include that has been assigned to a module pool. This is where customers can include any changes (enhancements) that they want to make to the system. These includes are always processed during program flow.

Advantage: In principle, customers can modify anything they want that is found in the include (tables, structures, and so forth).

Disadvantage: SAP cannot check the individual enhancements themselves which often leads to errors

MENU Exits:

Menu exits allow you to add your own functions to the pulldown menus in standard R/3 transactions. To take advantage of a menu exit, you first need to create a project as described in the section Creating an add-on project. Then, you must include the SAP enhancement package that contains the menu exit you want to use in your project. From the main screen of the Project management transaction, proceed as follows:

Select Enhancement components and choose Change.

The system lists all customer exits contained in the enhancements included in your project.

Place the cursor on the menu exit you want to add your own function to.

Choose Edit component.

The system displays technical information about the menu entry. It also displays two input fields where you can specify a language and the text you want your menu item to have.

Enter the name of your menu function (such as Special order method) in the field New text.

Choose Save text.

Your special menu function will not appear in the pulldown menu of the corresponding standard transaction until you activate your enhancement project.

Specifying a menu text and activating your project are not the only steps you need to take to make your own menu item work. After you carry out these steps, your menu item will appear, but it will not call a corresponding function. To attach your menu entry to its corresponding function, you need to create a function module for the function module exit associated with your menu text. This function module exit is part of the same SAP enhancement that contains the menu exit you used. Creating Customer-Specific Function Modules tells you more about how to use function module exits.

Procedure for Creating MENU Exits:

________________________

1) To get into Area Menu Maintenance Screen Type SE43 T.Code in Command

Line.

2) In Area Menu Paramenter type 'S000' (S triple Zero)

3) Then Press Change Icon in Application Tool Bar. Then It may ask for

Access Key or it may display "Specify Processing mode" window. If it ask

for the Access Key Check for the availability of OSS Note and apply to open

Standard SAP Menu to include MENU Exits. Otherwise, if it display "Specify

Processing mode" window with Three Push Button. In which select "Change" and

proceed further.

4) Then it will display "Information" window with the following information

"Caution : The Original Language of the structure is German (editing lang. :

English) ". Then press "Enter Key to proceed further.

5) Then you will get into "Edit Area Menu S000".

6) for eg:- Expand Tools Menu.

7) Then Press ABAP Workbench <Icon>.

😎 Then you will get into ABAP Workbench Menu Tree.

9) Then Expand Utilities Menu.

10) In the last line you will find one MENU EXIT Provision to include your

own menu. "Node Text Not Found" This text can be change by double Clicking

that. There you can find the T.Code. Here for Eg:- "+DW4".

11) for eg: - Here change the Text to "Sample Menu Exit" and then note down

the T.Code "+DW4".

12) Then Save with Change Request Number and come out of Transaction SE43.

13) Then Goto Transaction SE93.

14) Then type T.Code "+DW4" and press Create.

15) Then proceed further to create transaction called "+DW4".
