Differences between SMOD & CMOD
Dear All,
Experts can you clear some doubts which have on the above functionalities I know that CMOD can be used to define an project and handle the required enhancements and in SMOD you can select the available User Exits and chart down your required enhancements, now coming to LIS structures enhancements can be done by both using SMOD & CMOD my question is when do this have to be used in regard to LIS Structures, If I enhance the communication structures in LIS I guess I can only use the SMOD where as if enhance the extract structure i can still use CMOD, when is the best option to use out of CMOD & SMOD can experts throw light on this or point out some white papers on the same.
Thanks & Warm Regards,
Fayak.
Hi Fayak,
cmod and smod doesn't apply only for the bw datasource enhancements. They are neccessary for all enhancements you do in a R/3 system. As you already mentioned, you can use smod for maintaining one special enhancement. But this enhancement will not work unless you assigned it to a project and activated the project. This is what you do in cmod. You create a project and assign enhancements to the project. You can have lots of enhancements in one project. But without activating the project, these enhancements will not work.
Hope this helps

Difference between transaction CMOD and SMOD in detail
What is the difference difference between transaction CMOD and SMOD in detail
in R3 system.Hi Vinod,
Transaction CMOD n SMOD are 2 parts of the enhancement. Using SMOD you can search for enhancement and there component. Components includes Function Exit, Function Codes, Program,Calling Screen...so basically all exits.
Using SMOD, if you know the enhancement you can check the available User Exits. For eg. you can find out user exits and corresponding zincludes.
If you know the Exit Name for Eg. Function module exit name you can search the correponding Enhacement name here..which is important for activating exits.
CMOD allows you to create Project for your enhacement. In order to activate every exit code you need to create a project for same and activate it...Eventhough if you write a code and do not create a project for same your exit code will not reflect.
It is mandatory to create and project for exit and activate it.
Hope this will give you good idea about CMOD and SMOD.

Difference between customer exit and user exit?
hi experts
difference between customer exit and user exit?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 SAPs 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 SAPs standard software package.
They do not affect software updates
When you add new functionality to your SAP System using SAPs 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.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/1d/ca10d858c2e949ba4a152c44f8128a/frameset.htm
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
reward points if found useful

Difference between USER-EXISTs and Customer-Exits???
Hi,
Can anyone give me the difference between the user-exits and customer-exits?
Please respond at the earliest. Thanks in advance.Hi,
USER EXITS->
1. Introduction:
User exits (Function module exits) are exits developed by SAP.
The exit is implementerd as a call to a functionmodule.
The code for the function module is writeen by the developer.
You are not writing the code directly in the function module,
but in the include that is implemented in the function module.
The naming standard of function modules for functionmodule exits is:
EXIT_<program name><3 digit suffix>
The call to a functionmodule exit is implemented as:
CALL CUSTOMER.-FUNCTION <3 digit suffix>
http://www.sap-img.com/abap/a-short-tutorial-on-user-exits.htm
CUSTOMER EXITS-> t-code CMOD.
As of Release 4.6A SAP provides a new enhancement technique, the Business Add-Ins.
Among others, this enhancement technique has the advantage of
being based on a multi-level system landscape (SAP, country versions, IS solutions, partner,
customer, and so on)
instead of a two-level landscape (SAP, customer) as with the customer exits.
You can create definitions and implementations of business add-ins at any level of the system landscape.
To unify enhancements of the SAP Standard you can migrate customer exits to business add-ins.

In order to find out the user exits for any tcode,
1. get the developement class of the tcode from SE93.
2. Now goto transaction SMOD and press F4,
3. give in the Deve class in the dev class and Press ENTER
this will show u the exits for any tcode.

What is the difference between User exit and BADI
in user exit support to 4 types of exits(Menu exit,Screen exit,Field exit,Function module exit)in similar way is badi supported to all type
hi,
BADIs (Business Add-Ins) are the new way in which SAP allows you to enter additional logic into an application, and is based on OO ABAP. (Methods in Interfaces) Transactions SE18/SE19.
Customer Exits are the older method (which is still supported), whereby you create an include that is in a function module, which is called when the customer exit is activated. Transactions CMOD/SMOD.
In terms of terminology, people often use the terms "Customer Exit" and "User Exit" interchangeably, however, strictly speaking, User Exits are places provided in subroutines (notably in the SD module) where you can insert your own code, but require a modification to an include (although it is provided for customers to change).
They are two different methods to do the same thing: to check and update the data into std trx.
The user-exit is the old concept based on function module
The BADI is the new concept based on OO ABAP.
So you can often to find a BADI and an USER-EXIT to do the same thing and you have to decide what you prefer to use.
Anyway the new trx and the enjoy trx use BADIs as exit
User-exits are SAP's oldest way of updating data in standard programs - see MV45AFZZ - Form Userexit_Save_Document_Prepare.
Here you simply add ABAP code or add INCLUDES, etc
Customer-exits were SAP's next generation. They are built on the concept of function modules - where you add your custom within the Z func modules.
BADIs are SAP's newest and current way of updating data uisng Object-oriented concepts.

User-Exit is a specific place in a transaction-process where SAP offers
third parties to include there own business functionality. Actually
User-Exit is the namespace used for Exits programmed by SAP specifically
for SD. For the other modules it's called Customer-Exit.=20
>Business Add-Ins (BADI) =20
The use of object orientated code within SAP has lead to new method of
enhancing standard SAP code called Business Add-Ins or BADI's for short.
Although the implementation concept is based on classes, methods and
inheritance you do not really have to understand this fully to implement
a BADI.

What is the main difference between Enhancements and BADI.?
What is the main difference between Enhancements and BADI.?plzz tell
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Feb 13, 2008 3:48 PMCMOD is the Project Management of SAP Enhancements (i.e., SMOD Enhancements). SMOD contains the actual enhancements and CMOD is the grouping of those SMOD enhancements.
Difference Between BADI and User Exits
BADI's can be used any number of times, where as USER-EXITS can be used only one time.
Ex:- if your assigning a USER-EXIT to a project in (CMOD), then you can not assign the same to other project.
BADI's are oops based.
Business Add-Ins are a new SAP enhancement technique based on ABAP Objects. They can be inserted into the SAP System to accommodate user requirements too specific to be included in the standard delivery. Since specific industries often require special functions, SAP allows you to predefine these points in your software.
As with customer exits two different views are available:
In the definition view, an application programmer predefines exit points in a source that allow specific industry sectors, partners, and customers to attach additional software to standard SAP source code without having to modify the original object.
In the implementation view, the users of Business Add-Ins can customize the logic they need or use a standard logic if one is available.
In contrast to customer exits, Business Add-Ins no longer assume a two-level infrastructure (SAP and customer solutions), but instead allow for a multi-level system landscape (SAP, partner, and customer solutions, as well as country versions, industry solutions, and the like). Definitions and implementations of Business Add-Ins can be created at each level within such a system infrastructure.
SAP guarantees the upward compatibility of all Business Add-In interfaces. Release upgrades do not affect enhancement calls from within the standard software nor do they affect the validity of call interfaces. You do not have to register Business Add-Ins in SSCR.
The Business Add-In enhancement technique differentiates between enhancements that can only be implemented once and enhancements that can be used actively by any number of customers at the same time. In addition, Business Add-Ins can be defined according to filter values. This allows you to control add-in implementation and make it dependent on specific criteria (on a specific Country value, for example).
All ABAP sources, screens, GUIs, and table interfaces created using this enhancement technique are defined in a manner that allows customers to include their own enhancements in the standard. A single Business Add-In contains all of the interfaces necessary to implement a specific task.
The actual program code is enhanced using ABAP Objects. In order to better understand the programming techniques behind the Business Add-In enhancement concept, SAP recommends reading the section on ABAP Objects. -
What is the difference between ABAP and BADI
What is the difference between ABAP and BADI
Hi
BAPI is different from BADIs and User exits in ABAP
BAPI : BAPI basically works like a function module. the major difference being that it can work like a RFC. That means it can work from system to system. Mostly the name of a BAPI can be seen in se37 by just giving BAPI_* F4 and you will see a lot of BAPIS.
BADI : BADI is a new concept and are also known as Business Addins. SE18 and SE19 are the two transactions which are used to make a BADI. Mostly BADIS are not made but selected from what is given in SAP. These are similar to user-exits but are method based. One can say it is an extension to the user exits. If one has an issue in which one has to change so existing things in SAP then BADI can be used. First one has to define it and then find out a suitable implementation for the issue concerned
User-exits : there are many types of user exits like Function exits , Menu Exits Screen exits etc. These are used when there is an issue of changing SAP given screen or menu or report.. Main transactions which are used in these cases is CMOD and SMOD. One can find out the user exit concerned and change it accordingly as per ones requirement
to be more specific in answering in singel phrase
1.user-exit and badi are related.
2. But BAPI is something entirely different.
3. user-exit and badi.
BADI is nothing but user-exit,
BUT CLASS/OO based. thats all.
4. BAPI is nothing but a FUNCTION MODULE only,but its RFC Enabled.

Difference between customer exits & user exits
Hello!
I can not really differ customer exits from user exits.
There are tow txn SMOD and CMOD. Is there a difference or
is it the same.
I read some stuff about this subject (see: http://www.sap-img.com/abap/a-short-tutorial-on-user-exits.htm) and I was very obfuscated later. I think its time for
clarification of some facts. What about is the autor speaking here , customer exits or user exits ?
When I call the programm SAPMV45A I can see a lot of user exits under
Subroutines. These are really normal Subroutines with no code between its body
which is designated for the specific user-exit code.
While the autor which is above mentoned is telling something about
such statements. What is wrong and what is correct? Please enlighten my
nescience
EXIT_<program name><3 digit suffix>
The call to a functionmodule exit is implemented as:
CALL CUSTOMER.-FUNCTION <3 digit suffix>
Regards
IlhanThere isn't much difference between the two. CMOD user exits allow greater control, and have a manageable, trackable framework, it's easy to see what's in use and what isn't.
As we users have no control over which type of exit SAP decided to put in, and where, we just have to use whatever meets our needs.
A customer exit is a type of user exit. A user exit is a handle that SAP put into their code, allowing a customer to add their own routines. There are many types of user exit, and often they differ between modules.
CMOD is the Project Management of SAP Enhancements (i.e., SMOD Enhancements). SMOD contains the actual enhancements and CMOD is the grouping of those SMOD enhancements.

hi gurus,
what is the difference between
SD user exits
and
Other user exitsHi,
User Exit is a common terminology and it is not specific to SD...
User exits are hooks in standard SAP code, which allow you to add functionality. The positioning of these exits has been defined by SAP, so often you can't find one where you need it!
The implementation of user exits depends on the module. Some (and more, as you go to later releases) are implemented using CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION (see help documentation for this ABAP statement) - these are controlled from transactions CMOD and SMOD - have a look at the online documentation - transaction CMOD, menu Utilities --> Online Manual.
In older areas of SAP code, the exit might be coded using an empty form supplied by SAP. E.g. look at module SAPMV45A. This has many forms beginning USEREXIT_... You can insert your own code in this.
In other areas such as FI or LIS, there are configuration entries which allow calls to external ABAP code.
Up until 4.5, there are field-exits. These are triggered as the first action during a PAI event. They are linked to a field's domain, and can be made global for that domain, or screen specific.
Finally, you may need to make customer specific changes to SAP code. Note that if you choose to do this, SAP will not support the modified code.
What is User Exits and Customer Exits?
Difference between user exits & customer exits:
User exit - A user exit is a three character code that instructs the system to access a program during system processing.
SXX: S is for standard exits that are delivered by SAP. XX represents the 2-digit exit number.
UXX: U is for user exits that are defined by the user. XX represents the 2-digit exit number
Customer exit - 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 customer 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. *-- Mani
The following document is about exits in SAP :-
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.
Types of Exits
There are several different types of user exits. Each of these exits acts as hooks where you can attach or "hang" your own add-ons.
Menu Exits
Menu exits add items to the pulldown menus in standard SAP applications. You can use these menu items to call up your own screens or to trigger entire add-on applications.
SAP creates menu exits by defining special menu items in the Menu Painter. These special entries have function codes that begin with "+" (a plus sign). You specify the menu item?s text when activating the item in an add-on project.
Screen Exits
Screen exits add fields to screens in R/3 applications. SAP creates screen exits by placing special subscreen areas on a standard R/3 screen and calling a customer subscreen from the standard screen?s flow logic.
Function Module Exits
Function module exits add functions to R/3 applications. Function module exits play a role in both menu and screen exits.
When you add a new menu item to a standard pull down menu, you use a function module exit to define the actions that should take place once your menu is activated.
Function module exits also control the data flow between standard programs and screen exit fields. SAP application developers create function module exits by writing calls to customer functions into the source code of standard R/3 programs.
These calls have the following syntax:
CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION ?001?.
Field Exits
Field exits allow you to create your own programming logic for any data element in the Dictionary. You can use this logic to carry out checks, conversions, or business-related processing for any screen field. Example: The data element BBBNR identifies a company?s international location number. You might want to set up your R/3 System so that all international location numbers are larger than 100.
The field exit concept lets you create a special function module that contains this logic.
You assign the special function module to the data element BBBNR. You then assign the module to any programs and screens in which users can add new international location numbers. When you activate your field exit, the system automatically triggers your special routine whenever a user enters a company location number.
In 4.6c, you can use "RSMODPRF" program to create field exits.
An example of a user exits :-
MODULE user_exit_0001 INPUT
CASE okcode.
WHEN 'BACK OR EXIT'.
CASE sy-dynnr.
WHEN '100'.
SET SCREEN 0.
LEAVE SCREEN.
WHEN '200'.
Note that you can write any code that satisfy your needs.
But in this case, this was wrote as a sample code for reference sake.
And you can test it
SET SCREEN 100.
LEAVE SCREEN.
ENDCASE.
ENDCASE.
A Short Tutorial on User Exits
User exits :
1. Introduction
2. How to find user exits
3. Using Project management of SAP Enhancements
1. Introduction:
User exits (Function module exits) are exits developed by SAP. The exit is implementerd as a call to a functionmodule. The code for the function module is writeen by the developer. You are not writing the code directly in the function module, but in the include that is implemented in the function module.
The naming standard of function modules for functionmodule exits is:
EXIT_<program name><3 digit suffix>
The call to a functionmodule exit is implemented as:
CALL CUSTOMER.-FUNCTION <3 digit suffix>
Example:
The program for transaction VA01 Create salesorder is SAPMV45A
If you search for CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION i program
SAPMV45A you will find ( Among other user exits):
CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION '003'
exporting
xvbak = vbak
xvbuk = vbuk
xkomk = tkomk
importing
lvf_subrc = lvf_subrc
tables
xvbfa = xvbfa
xvbap = xvbap
xvbup = xvbup.
The exit calls function module EXIT_SAPMV45A_003
2. How to find user exits?
Display the program where you are searching for and exit and search for CALL CUSTOMER-EXIT
If you know the Exit name, go to transaction CMOD.
Choose menu Utillities->SAP Enhancements. Enter the exit name and press enter.
You will now come to a screen that shows the function module exits for the exit.
3. Using Project management of SAP Enhancements, we want to create a project to enahance trasnaction VA01 .
- Go to transaction CMOD
- Create a project called ZVA01
- Choose the Enhancement assign radio button and press the Change button
In the first column enter V45A0002 Predefine sold-to party in sales document.
Note that an enhancement can only be used in 1 project. If the enhancement is already in use, and error message will be displayed
Press Save
Press Components. You can now see that enhancement uses user exit EXIT_SAPMV45A_002. Double click on the exit.
Now the function module is displayed. Double click on include ZXVVAU04 in the function module
Insert the following code into the include: E_KUNNR = '2155'.
Activate the include program. Go back to CMOD and activate the project.
Goto transaction VA01 and craete a salesorder.
Note that Sold-to-party now automatically is "2155"
Hope this helps u..

Difference between bex user exit and macros in functionality?
Hi all,
I need to create a report on material master data. I created an infoset on 0material and 0mat_plant. In the requirem
ent, I have a report containing different material numbers followed by attributes in each row. the final column in each
row should be calculated using logic. the logic involves comparing different row values and arrive at final conclusion.
the logic comprises of large number of if conditions. so should i use bex user exit or excel macros?
what is the difference between user exit and macros in funcitonalilty?
is there an issue transporting the macro to Prod for end users to use?
any performance criteria?
Any how to documents ..will be of a lot of help
plz send them to [email protected]

ravi aHi,
Macros offer a powerful and flexible way to extend the features of MS Excel. You can either create a macro using VB code or Record a macro. Use Alt+F11 for creating macro using VB code.
You can refer to Microsoft help site or this link for more details:

User-exits are empty subroutines that SAP Developers have provided for you.You can fill them with your own source code.Technically this is a modification.Customer exits are nothing but a include in customer name space will be provided in the function module which starts with CALL CUSTOMER.You can fill them with your own source code.Technically this is an enhancement.
look into following links for procedure to find and use user-exits transaction for finding user-exits is 'SMOD'

Difference between user exit/Function exit / Customer exit and BADI
Hi Guys,
I am confused with the types of exits-user exit/Function exit / Customer exit and BADI.
Can you tell me the difference between the different exits/Enhancements?
Classify the following:
what is the one which is shown in SMOD under enhancements? There are 3 sections in that - Function module, Screen and includes.
What is the one which are called using -
Call Customer-Function 001?
Regards,
Guruhi,
The standard applications do not offer some of the functionality you need. The R/3 enchancement concept allows you to add your own functionality to SAP's standard business applications.
Different types of enhancements
Enhancements using customer exits
Customers' potential requirements which are not included in the standard software are incorporated in the standard as empty modification 'shells'. Customers can then fill these with their own coding. Enhancements can relate to programs, menus and screens. Upward compatibility is assured. In other words, SAP guarantees that the jump from the standard software to the exit and the interface which call the exit will remain valid in future releases.
Enhancements to ABAP/4 Dictionary elements
These are ABAP/4 Dictionary enhancements (creation of table appends), text enhancements (customer-specific key words and documentation for data elements) and field exits (creation of additional coding for data elements).
advantages of enhancements
Do not affect standard SAP source code
Do not affect software upgrades
Customer exit - The R/3 enhancement concept allows you to add your own functionality to SAPs standard business applications without having to modify the original applications. SAP creates customer 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.
Various types of customer exits
Menu exits
Screen exits
Function module exits
Keyword exits
Menu exit
Adding items to the pulldown menus in standard R/3 applications .
Screen exit
Adding fields to the screens within R/3 applications. SAP creates screen exits by placing special subscreen areas within a standard R/3 screen and calling a customer subscreen from within the standard dynpro's flow logic.
Function module exit
Adding functionality to R/3 applications. Function module exits play a role in both menu and screen exits.
keyword exit
Add documentation to the data elements of key words defined in the ABAP/4 Dictionary. The system displays this documentation whenever a user presses F1 to get online help for a screen field
Hope this helps, Do reward. -
Difference between user exists&badi's

Hi, this may help you.
Check this link to learn more about differences between user-exits and badis:

Difference Between BADI and User Exits
Business Add-Ins are a new SAP enhancement technique based on ABAP Objects. They can be inserted into the SAP System to accommodate user requirements too specific to be included in the standard delivery. Since specific industries often require special functions, SAP allows you to predefine these points in your software.
As with customer exits two different views are available:
In the definition view, an application programmer predefines exit points in a source that allow specific industry sectors, partners, and customers to attach additional software to standard SAP source code without having to modify the original object.
In the implementation view, the users of Business Add-Ins can customize the logic they need or use a standard logic if one is available.
In contrast to customer exits, Business Add-Ins no longer assume a two-level infrastructure (SAP and customer solutions), but instead allow for a multi-level system landscape (SAP, partner, and customer solutions, as well as country versions, industry solutions, and the like). Definitions and implementations of Business Add-Ins can be created at each level within such a system infrastructure.
SAP guarantees the upward compatibility of all Business Add-In interfaces. Release upgrades do not affect enhancement calls from within the standard software nor do they affect the validity of call interfaces. You do not have to register Business Add-Ins in SSCR.
The Business Add-In enhancement technique differentiates between enhancements that can only be implemented once and enhancements that can be used actively by any number of customers at the same time. In addition, Business Add-Ins can be defined according to filter values. This allows you to control add-in implementation and make it dependent on specific criteria (on a specific Country value, for example).
All ABAP sources, screens, GUIs, and table interfaces created using this enhancement technique are defined in a manner that allows customers to include their own enhancements in the standard. A single Business Add-In contains all of the interfaces necessary to implement a specific task.
The actual program code is enhanced using ABAP Objects. In order to better understand the programming techniques behind the Business Add-In enhancement concept, SAP recommends reading the section on ABAP Objects.
What is difference between badi and user-exists?
What is difference between enhancements and user-exists? and what is the full form of BADI?
I have another doubt in BDC IN BDC WE HAVE MSEGCALL (i did not remember the > correct name) where the error logs are stored, MSEGCALL is a table or structure.
What is the system landscape?
1) Difference between BADI and USER-EXIT.
i) BADI's can be used any number of times, where as USER-EXITS can be used only one time.
Ex:- if your assigning a USER-EXIT to a project in (CMOD), then you can not assign the same to other project.
ii) BADI's are oops based.
2) About 'BDCMSGCOLL' it is a structure. Used for finding error records.
3) Full form of BADI 'Business addins'.
3) System land scape will be depends on your project
Ex:- 'Development server'>'Quality server'-> 'Production server'......

Difference between user exists customer exists
difference between user exists customer exists
Hi,
User exits are basically modifications done to the std. pgm
for whic u need to have access code,this is not reccomended
in sap as during upgradation none of the mod. will come thru.
In contrast customer exits are enhancements done to the
std pgm in the space provided by sap so that during
upgrading versions this also will be available.
Customer exits types
Function exits, Field exits(absolete), screen exits.
There isn't much difference between the two. CMOD user exits allow greater control, and have a manageable, trackable framework - it's easy to see what's in use and what isn't. A customer exit is a type of user exit. A user exit is a handle that SAP put into their code, allowing a customer to add their own routines.
User exit - A user exit is a three character code that instructs the system to access a program during system processing.
SXX: S is for standard exits that are delivered by SAP. XX represents the 2-digit exit number.
UXX: U is for user exits that are defined by the user. XX represents the 2-digit exit number
Customer exit - The R/3 enhancement concept allows you to add your own functionality to SAPs standard business applications without having to modify the original applications.
