Appication Component: AP-PPE.

This Business Add-In (BAdI) provides methods with which you can execute your own checks for the external description of nodes, variants, alternatives, and relationships.

You can, for example, define customer-specific naming conventions and use the BAdI to check if these are being complied with. The BAdI is always called up when a node, variant, alternative, or relationship is created or renamed by the user. The check is carried out before all other checks take place (also before the existence check).

Requirements

Standard settings

  • The Business Add-In is not active in the standard system.

  • The Business Add-In cannot exist at several positions.

  • The Business Add-In is not filter-dependent.

Activities

To activate the Business Add-In, you have to create an active implementation.

  1. To do so, choose the IMG activity by double-clicking @15@.

    Or

  2. To do so, choose the following menu in the SAP Easy Access Menu Tools -> ABAP Workbench -> Utilities -> Business Add-Ins -> Implementation.

    If implementations already exist for the selected BAdI, the system braches to a dialog box displaying a list of the existing implementations.

  3. In this dialog box, choose Create.

    The system branches to the dialog box BAdI Builder: Create Implementation.

  4. Enter an implementation name and choose Continue.

    The screen Business Add-In Builder: Change Implementation appears.

  5. In the field Implementation Short Text enter a short desctiption.
  6. Select the tab page Interface.

    In this tab page, the field Name of implementing class is filled automatically as the system assigns the class name using the name of the implementation.

  7. Save your entries and assign the implementation to a package.
  8. Position the cursor on one of the methods. Access the class builder with a double click.
  9. Enter the coding for the implementation between the instructions method <Interface-Name>~ <Method nAME>.and endmethod.
  10. Save and activate your coding and return to the screen Change Implementation.
  11. Save your data again.

    Note: It is possible to create an implementation for a BAdI and activate it later. In this case, you should exit processing here.

  12. Choose Aktivate.

During the execution of the application program, the system now runs through the coding you saved in the method.

You can find additional information in the SAP Library under SAP NetWeaver Components -> SAP Web Application Server -> ABAP Workbench (BC-DWB)-> Changing the SAP Standard (BC) -> Business Add-Ins -> Implementing a Business Add-In.

Example

You can specify, for example, if the external names of all nodes should begin with the ID XX_. In this case, the system will not allow the user to create a node using the ID XY_.

Further notes

You can also call the documentation on the BAdI method via the menu, by carrying out the following steps:

  1. Choose the tab page Interface.
  2. Double-click on the relevant method.
  3. Click on the right mouse button and choose Component documentation.
