Enhancements using User Exits (Document) 

Use

In Customizing Document Management you can use user exits to create enterprise-specific enhancements and extensions for document processing. You can also use them to extend the standard SAP System with enterprise-specific checks or replace standard ones.

Integration

The enterprise-specific checks can be integrated by means of the ABAP workbench. As opposed to Customer Exits you can use user exits to access program parts and data objects of the standard system.

Some upgrades and support packages will however overwrite the modifications and the must be reentered later.

Verify after an upgrade whether enterprise-specific functions still exist or whether they cause conflicts.

Features
