BUSINESS TRANSACTION EVENTS (BTE) IN SAP

Business Transaction Events (BTEs) in SAP ABAP provide a way to enhance standard SAP
functionality by providing additional custom functionality.

These events are typically found in the Financial Accounting (FI) module, including areas like
Accounts Payable (FI-AP), Accounts Receivable (FI-AR), and General Ledger (FI-GL).

TYPES OF BTE

1. Publish and Subscribe Interface

2. Process Interface

PUBLISH AND SUBSCRIBE INTERFACE

1. They are also known as Informing interfaces.

2. This interface does not update any application data.
3. It is used to add additional functions to the application. Example - E-Mail functionality,
sending data to external system etc.
4. They do not influence the standard procedure.
5. The custom function module which is attached to BTE does not have changing
parameters.

PROCESS INTERFACE

1. This interface is used to update the application data. For Example: -Using the default value
to a field while creating a Fl document.
2. They intervene in the standard process.
3. The custom function module which is attached to BTE has changing/exporting parameters.

WAYS TO FIND PROCESS AND SUBSCRIBE INTERFACE

1. Search for the statement - OPEN_FI_PERFORM in the source code.

2. For Publish Subscribe interface the naming convention of the function module will be
OPEN_FI_PERFORM_<BTE NUMBER>_E.
3. Set the breakpoint in the function module: BF_FUNCTIONS_FIND
4. Go to transaction code FIBF.
5. Path Environment - Info System(P/S)

WAYS TO FIND PROCESS INTERFACE

1. Search for the statement - OPEN_FI_PERFORM in the source code. For process the
naming convention of the function module will be
OPEN_FI_PERFORM_<BTE_NUMBER>_P.
2. Set the breakpoint in the function module: PC_FUNCTION_FIND
3. Go to transaction code FIBF.
4. Path Environment - Infosystem (Processes)

STEPS TO IMPLEMENT A BTE

1. Identify the BTE.

2. Copy the sample interface function module into a Z or Y function module.
3. Write the code in the Z or Y function module.
4. Save and activate the function module.
5. Create a product and activate the product.
6. Map the publish and subscribe interface or process interface with the product and the function
module.

IDENTIFY THE BTE.

1. Create a Breakpoint at FM: PC_FUNCTION_FIND to identify the BTE.

Here we have found BTE: OPEN_FI_PERFORM_00001420_P.

Run T-code: FICF
