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_<3 soft="">digit suffix>

The call to a functionmodule exit is implemented as: CALL CUSTOMER.-FUNCTION <3>

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.
