Business Add-Ins

Scope of Functions

Business add-ins are programmer-defined places in source code where software customers (industry sectors, partners, customers, and so on) can add their own code, without modifying the original object.

Business add-ins are designed for users who require certain functions in the R/3 System that are too specialized to be included in the standard system, but are needed often, and therefore have been designed to be integrated into the R/3 System. A user who wants to use a business add-in can create their own during implementation, or use one of the delivered standard solutions.

The interface of a business add-in is forward compatible, thus ensuring that these add-ins and their interface still function after a release upgrade. They do not need to be registered in SSCR.

While customer exits (enhancements using SMOD/CMOD) are designed for use in a two-level system landscape (SAP, customers), business add-ins are designed for use in a multiple-level system landscape (SAP, country versions, IS solutions, partners, customers, and so on). Business add-ins can be created at any level of the system landscape. In addition, business add-ins can be created and delivered at all software levels.

Enhancements created using business add-ins can be implemented either exactly once, or for an infinite number of customers simultaneously. Business add-ins can also be defined according to a filter (for example, an add-in could be implemented according to "country" or other criteria).

Interfaces can be designed for ABAP source code, screens, GUI interfaces, and tables. Customers can then add their own enhancements to the standard system. Interfaces required to execute a task are combined in one business add-in. In Release 4.6A, business add-ins can be used to enhance programs and menus. Enhancements to screens and tables can be made as of the next Release.

Program code is enhanced using ABAP objects.
