Solution

With regard to user exits, Note 147522 is also valid for Release 3.0.

A Business Add In is the new form of user exit. It is object-oriented. For certain objects / actions, the standard system calls up an additional method which you can remove as a customer.

To do this, start Transaction SE18, enter the definition name and choose 'Create implementation' per menu option

All the methods are located in 'Interface'. By double-clicking on one of these methods you go to its implementation section.

If you choose 'Goto => Class definition', you see the parameter settings and reference type specification displayed.

The following BAdIs are available

/SAPAPO/SDP_COLWIDTH - Planning Period Column Width Default

In parameter CV_AGC_WIDTH, change the column width depending on planning book, data view and grid (top/bottom).

/SAPAPO/SDP_EXTRACT - Extract Planning Area Data

You use method CHANGE_INPUT to override the input parameters for the extractor (sent by the requesting system).

You use method CHANGE_OUTPUT to change the extracted data, by enhancing it, for example.

/SAPAPO/SDP_FIXWIDTH - Fix Column Width for InfoObjects

You use parameter CV_COL_WIDTH to override the column width (dependent on characteristics) of fixed columns that are expanded during a drill down.

/SAPAPO/SDP_HEADER - HEADER

You can change / extend the detailed header information.

/SAPAPO/SDP_INTERACT - Interactive Planning

You use method FCODES_EXCLUDE to gray out standard functions that you no longer want your user to be able to choose.

You use method USER_FCODES_CALCULATIONS to implement your own functions that neither macros nor user exits are able to cover. Under FCODES, you must first release a function code (by entering a description). This released function code (for example, +CUS01) is then displayed automatically in the menu, which then, when selected executes the method.

You use method PIVOT_ORDER_SET to automatically set the column sequence after a drill down or 'display dependent objects'.

You use method TEXT_CHOOSE to choose between using a short text, a medium text, or a long text.

/SAPAPO/SDP_MASTER - Characteristic value combinations

You use method CHECK_MANUAL_INPUT to check your manual entries for creating or deleting characteristic value combinations.

You call up method COMBI_ENRICH to create characteristics combinations (manually / automatically). You have the option of revising or extending combinations.

/SAPAPO/SDP_PROMOT - Promotion

Notes: 356589 & 361640

/SAPAPO/SDP_RELDATA - Release of DP to SNP

You use method CHANGE_RELDATA to edit the requirements released from DP to SNP (quantities / dates).

/SAPAPO/SDP_RELSTRAT - Set Requirement Strategy on Release

You have the option of dynamically setting the requirement strategy.

/SAPAPO/SDP_SELECTOR - SDP Selector

It is only possible to use Business Add-In '/SAPAPO/SDP_SELECTOR' to extend customer-specific SDP Selector standard functions in interactive planning. Note '399508' details the BAdI methods and how they can be used. Note '377497' provides a sample method implementation code.
