Objectives
The participants will be able to:
Discuss the procedure of modifying SAP Standard program through procedure SSCR
(SAP Software Change Registration).
Locate, code and implement Function exits.
Differentiate between CALL FUNCTION and CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION
statements.
Identify Projects and Enhancements and use the transactions CMOD and SMOD.
IBM Global Services
Overview
If you try to change the SAP
program SAPMF02K, you will
be prompted to enter the access
key for that object.
It mandatory for users to register all manual changes to SAP source coding and
SAP Dictionary objects through a procedure called SSCR.
IBM Global Services
SAP Modification
After you enter the appropriate access key, you will be able to modify a SAP
standard object. You should avoid making repairs to SAP objects/code.
IBM Global Services
Obtaining Object Access Key
To obtain the access key for changing a SAP
Standard object, either run transaction OSS1 or
go to the site www.service.sap.com.
IBM Global Services
Obtaining Object Access Key (Contd.)
Go to the registration tab
Go to Register Objects
IBM Global Services
Obtaining Object Access Key (Contd.)
Select your server by matching
installation number.
Provide the Object name, SAP
Release and click on the
Register tab.
The Registration Key for the
Object will be displayed.

Program exits ( Function Exits, BAdis, Business
Transaction Events, Substitution Exits )

Information on existing User-Exits
Using transaction SPRO, one can information along with detailed documentation
on the Exits available for areas of concern.

Function-Exits

This INCLUDE
program is where you
will write the
customer-specific
code.

call customer-
function 001...

function
exit_sapmf02k_001.
include zxf05u01.
endfunction.
SAP Original Code
SAPMF02K
Function Module INCLUDE Program
This INCLUDE program
will not be overwritten
with an SAP upgrade
because it is not SAP
original code.
IBM Global Services
Call Customer-Function Versus Call Function
The CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION
statement will only execute the
function module if the module
is activated.
call function EXIT_SAPMF02K_001
Both of these CALL statements refer
to the function module
EXIT_SAPMF02K_001.

Business Case Scenario
UPDATE LOG
Vendor #
Vendor name
When the user updates a vendor record, you want to
insert a record into an update log that contains the
vendor number and name of the updated record.
IBM Global Services
Steps to Coding a Function-Exit
1. Locate Function-Exit(s)
2. Go to Function Module
3. Create INCLUDE Program
4. Code in INCLUDE Program
5. Activate Function-Exit
IBM Global Services
Locate Function-Exit(s)
IBM Global Services
In program SAPMF02K, search
for the string call customer-
function in the main program to
find all of the function-exit(s) in
the program.
IBM Global Services
Double-click anywhere on
the call customer-function
001 statement to go to
that line in the SAP program.
In program SAPMF02K, there is
only one function-exit at line 83 of
MF02KFEX.
IBM Global Services
Go to Function Module
Double-click on 001 of the
CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION
001 statement in the SAP
program to go to the function
module EXIT_SAPMF02K_001.
IBM Global Services
Create INCLUDE Program
Double-click on the INCLUDE
ZXF05U01 statement in the
function module to create the
INCLUDE program.
IBM Global Services
Code in INCLUDE Program
*------------------------------
* INCLUDE ZXF05U01
*------------------------------

if sy-uname = SANGRAMC.

endif.

Write code in the include program.
Whatever logic you add here will affect all
SAP standard transaction where this
particular User Exit is being called.
Put all your code within the username
check, while you are at the middle of the
user exit development. So, that your logic
in the exit (which is incomplete now) does
not affect others users in the system.
At the end of the development, when you
have tested that your logic is correct,
remove the username check. So, the
additional logic (tested & verified now) is
now triggered for all users in the system.

You do not actually activate a single function-exit; instead, you activate a
PROJECT that will include your user-exit(s).
IBM Global Services
User-Exit Transactions
CMOD : This transaction allows you to create a PROJECT by identifying its
ENHANCEMENT(S). After determining all of the ENHANCEMENTS that are part
of the PROJECT, you will have to activate the PROJECT. You will still need to code
your user-exit; therefore, you may want to wait until this step is completed before
activating the PROJECT.
SMOD : This transaction allows you to create an ENHANCEMENT, which you will
include in a PROJECT, by identifying its COMPONENT(S). In the case where SAP
has already created an ENHANCEMENT for its pre-defined user-exits, you will not
need to use transaction SMOD; instead, you should just use transaction CMOD.

IBM Global Services
Transaction CMOD
In transaction CMOD, type in the
name of your project and press
the CREATE pushbutton.
IBM Global Services
Transaction CMOD
Once you SAVE your project,
you can add as many
enhancements as you want by
pressing the SAP
enhancements pushbutton.
IBM Global Services
Transaction CMOD
Add the enhancements you
want included in
the project.
IBM Global Services
Transaction CMOD
After saving your project,
you need to ACTIVATE it.
IBM Global Services
Transaction SMOD
With the name of the enhancement,
you can display its components.
IBM Global Services
Transaction SMOD
In the case of enhancement
SAPMF02K, there is only one
user-exit a function-exit using
the function module
EXIT_SAPMF02K_001.
IBM Global Services
Additional Information
You can use table MODACT to find the Project an Enhancement is included in.
You can use table MODSAP to find the Enhancement for a Function Exit.

Summary
You should avoid making modifications/repairs to SAP objects/code whenever
possible.
It mandatory for users to register all manual changes to SAP source coding and
SAP Dictionary objects through a procedure called SSCR.
To obtain the access key for changing a SAP Standard object, either run
transaction OSS1 or go to the site www.service.sap.com.
The concept of a function-exit involves various points in original SAP programs
that have calls to specific function modules.
CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION statement will only execute a function module if
the function module is activated.
CMOD : This transaction allows you to create a PROJECT by identifying its
ENHANCEMENT(S).
SMOD : This transaction allows you to create an ENHANCEMENT, which you will
include in a PROJECT, by identifying its COMPONENT(S).
