SAP ABAP - User Exits

Advertisements

Previous Page
Next Page  

User exits are used in an extraction if the standard SAP extractors do not provide the expected data or the required functionality, for instance in authorizations or time checks. User exits are commonly used in Sales and Distribution (SD) modules. There are many exits provided by SAP in the areas of sales, transportation, shipping and billing. A user exit is designed to make some changes when standard SAP is not capable of fulfilling all the requirements.

To be able to access what exits are available in each area of sales, go to IMG using this path: IMG → Sales and Distribution → System Modifications → User Exits. The documentation for each exit in the areas of SD is explained thoroughly.

For instance, if you want to find user exits in Sales Document Processing (contract, quotation or sales order), follow the path mentioned above and continue to expand the node User Exits in Sales → User Exits. Click on icon documentation to see all user exits available in Sales Document Processing.

2

USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT

Helps in performing operations when the user hits Save.
3

USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE

Very useful to check input fields, put any value in the field or show a popup to users and to confirm the document.
4

USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAK

Used when user header changes are moved to header work area.
5

USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAP

Used when user item changes are moved to SAP item work area.

A User Exit serves the same purpose as Customer Exits but they are available only for the SD module. The exit is implemented as a call to a Function Module. User Exits are modifications to SAP standard programs.
