Customer Exit 

Use

If you need to use a processing type other than manual entry / default value, replacement path, SAP exit, or authorization, then a customer exit gives you the option of setting up a processing type for variables, tailor-made to your specific needs.

The customer exit is a preconceived enhancement that you can configure with customer-specific logic. You can find detailed information about customer exits and their use in the Enhancements to the Standard section of the BC Changes to the SAP Standard documentation.

Integration

You can process all variable types (characteristic value variables, hierarchy node variables, hierarchy variables, formula variables and text variables) using the Customer Exit processing type.

Prerequisites

You have created a project in the CMOD transaction. You have selected SAP enhancement RSR0001 and assigned it to the enhancement project. You have now activated the project.

In SAP Enhancement Help, you can get further information on working with the SAP enhancement for global variables in Reporting. Call up the transaction SMOD. Enter the name of the enhancement (RSR00001), choose Documentation and then Edit ® Display Sub-object.

You can get general information about working with customer exits under Help ® Application Help in transaction CMOD.

Features

The Customer Exit processing type for variables allows you to determine default values for variables using a function module exit. Here we are dealing with the function module EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001.

You want to move one characteristic value from another. The InfoProvider only contains the calendar day. You now want to see the cumulated value of the relevant period (beginning with the first day of a quarter).

For the first day of the quarter, use a variable with customer exit processing. If you now enter the current calendar day (11.15.2000, for example), the 11.01.2000 comes up in the customer exit as the start date, which means the cumulated value of this period can be displayed.
