ConfigPanel - EFI Assignment Settings

Enhancement Framework Implementation (EFI) source code plug-ins are implemented by the Mobile Add-On for ERP for each business object where you are implementing change detection. The source code plug-in is provided as an ABAP include file. Each exchange object is assigned to a plug-in to handle the actual change detection process. EFIs are typically available across multiple mobile applications running on the same system.

EFIs collect before and after images of data in an SAP object that has been created, modified, or deleted. The EFI then hands those images to the exchange object, which continues with the data processing. Therefore, you link the EFIs to the appropriate exchange objects.
