A Short Tutorial on User Exits

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_<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 in 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

How to find user exits?

If you know the Exit name, go to transaction CMOD.

Choose menu Utillities→SAP Enhancements. Enter the exit name and press enter.

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’.
