Enhancements Using User Exits (Document)

Use

In Customizing for Document Management , you can use user exits to create enterprise-specific enhancements and extensions for editing documents. You can also use them to enhance 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. Unlike customer exits, you can use user exits to access program parts and data objects in the standard system.

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

Note Note

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

End of the note.
