Can the user exit EXIT_SAPMM07M_004 be called from an FM exit in my code?

Question

Hi ,
When I create a Goods Receipt by tx MB1C , an MM adapter(FM user exit) is kicked off in my workspace creating documents wrt to that goods receipt.However if a batch does not exist during MB1C , it says that a batch would be created.But when i do a save , the user exit is kicked off before it returns to the SAP code to create a batch.As a result no MM documents are created in my workspace.Now I want that the batch be created while in my user exit and I want to implement the customer user exit EXIT_SAPMM07M_004(for copying the batch characteristics) .Is it possible to call this exit from my code?Kindly suggest.

Can you call the user exit? - Yes ofcourse.... but why dont you just add the same code that is in your exit instead of calling the user exit?
User exits are developed and called from appropriate places where sap can take the changes and apply to the transaction. there is no restriction on calling the user exit (atleast programmatically) but you need to think 100 times before you call the user exit.
For example, you want to call user exit 'A' in your program because you want to use the code in this user exit in your program '1'. Why dont you just write the code in program '1' with what is in user exit 'A' ?
Calling user exit in your program does not really helps. Better find out different ways. once again, user exits are embedded in sap business applications and remember they are not independent FM's as you think
Good luck
