Dear Experts ,
What is the role of functional consultants in creating enhancements & User exits ? Are both the same ?
Can you also please provide some documents or links of the same.
Regards

Hi, Keerthan,
This query of yours tempts me to give you my experience/views as an ERP professional.
1. Often consultants or people like me arrive at the necessity of user-exits which are also called enhancements, when some features you need are missing in the standard screens/programs, as already quoted.
2. I do not see clear line drawn between a Functional person or a Technical person, when the matter is about identifying a proper user-exit for a specific requirement of a Functional person.
But, I've seen the practices, where identification of a user-exit often is done by a Functional person, then for the code to be written in the includes of the user-exit, the dependency starts (he depends on an ABAPer)
Here I've seen communication problems leading to wastage of lot of time and quality of solutions.This prompted me to acquire some technical knowledge and now things are very easy to me.
The following first link might help you in understanding how user exits work.
and the second one about my views on these lines drawn between Functional/Technical skills.
(Ignore, if you might have already gone through)

User Exits are defined by SAP itself. Functional or Technical consultants will not create. For any additional functionality apart from standard, user exits can be used to accommodate the enhancement part.
