User exits are small program written to change the nature of large program.

Hi Jamuna,

Further to what Samriddhi has quoted, User Exits are places in the SAP standard code

that are designed to insert code by the customer. It happens often that some values are set

by default by SAP but are not appropriate for the business. In a user exit (or enhancement)you can correct this....

Below Process will help you to identify USER EXITS in SAP.

01. Run Transaction SE81 and Select PA-PA

02. From the Menu Click on Edit and Select the option u2018Select Subtreee +/-u2018

03. From the Menu bar click on Information system

04. From the R/3 Repository information System; go to Enhancements >> Customer Exits

>> Enhancements

05. Press F8 or execute.....

06. Double-click on the any of the Exit Name to identify the applicable Function module.

The list that pops-up relates to exits for PA - Personnel Administration.. you may check for

others as well....

Good Luck !!

Kumarpal Jain.

Hi,

User exits are reserved places in the regular SAP program code, into which user can insert

his ABAP logic.

They are generally implemented if the standard functionality and configuration does notmeet the requirement.

User exits are implemented via t-code CMOD.

In HCM, we generally use user exits to default infotype fields, or make another infotype to

be filled on updation of an infotype.

user exit

In computer software, a user exit is a place in a software program where a customer can arrangefor their own tailor-made program to be called. In theR/3 system fromSAP, a user exit is

contrasted with a customer exitand allows a customer's developer to access program components

and data objects within the R/3 system. In R/3, some user exits use Include statements to include

customer program enhancements that are called from the program. Other user exits use tables

that are accessed through customization.

R/2

R/2 is a set of coordinated business applications fromSAP, a German company that introducedthe product in 1979. R/2 gained popularity until the mid-1990s, when it was superseded by the

more capable R/3 product, later updated by mySAP.com. To some extent, R/2 is still in use.

Now more than 20 years old, R/2 continues to be supported by SAP, although support is

expected to decline. Using Application Link Enabled (ALE) technology, R/2 systems can sharedata with R/3 and mySAP.com-equipped systems. However, SAP says that it may more cost-

effective to migrate to R/3 rather than to stay with R/2, because of the improved support and

expanded features available with the current product.

ERM (enterprise resource management)

1) ERM (enterprise resource management) describes software that lets an enterprisemanageuser access to its network resources efficiently. ERM software generally lets a user sign on to

different enterprise systems and applications using the same password. ERM software makes it

easy for the enterprise to control and keep track of which systems and resources each user hasaccess to, and provides consistent standards for creating and changing passwords. One system

administrator can usually manage user access to all platforms - UNIX, mainframe, Windows NT,

and so forth - and to the applications on these platforms that require controlled access.

ERP (enterprise resource planning)

ERP (enterprise resource planning) is an industry term for the broad set of activities that helps

a business manage the important parts of its business. The information made available throughan ERP system provides visibility for key performance indicators (KPIs) required for meeting

corporate objectives. ERP software applications can be used to manage product planning, parts

purchasing, inventories, interacting with suppliers, providing customer service, and trackingorders. ERP can also include application modules for the finance and human resources aspects of

a business. Typically, an ERP system uses or is integrated with a relational database system.

The deployment of an ERP system can involve considerable business process analysis, employee

retraining, and new work procedures.

Rebecca Gill, vice president of Technology Group International says:

"For almost twenty years we have had people ask for demonstration copies of our ERP software,

so they may play with it at their leisure. For years we have said no and we've done so with good

reason. An ERP package is an advanced system. It isn't Microsoft Office and it isn't an iPhone.You can't simply turn it on and expect it to run without training."
