Menu Exits

Menu exits allows you to attach your own processes to action

menu items. For this, the SAP applications programmer
reserves certain menu entries in the GUI interface.

The Menu exit entries have function codes that begin with +
(Plus sign).

Once the menu exits are activated, they become visible in the
application.

When the menu item is selected, either the functionality

provided

by

the

SAP

applications

programmer

or

functionality implemented in the program exit is processed.

fields

to

SAP

creates

screen

by

placing

special

subscreen areas on a standard R/3 screen and

calling a customer subscreen from the standard
screens flow logic.

Defining Business Add-Ins

In order for application developers to include

Business Add-Ins in their programs, they must
define an interface for the enhancement in the
Transaction SE18 and call this interface at the
appropriate point in their application program.

then

select

the

add-in

and

implement it according to their needs
