Business Add-Ins (BADIs) allow SAP developers to enhance standard functionality by creating custom implementations. When working with existing BADIs, it is often essential to find all the active implementations, especially in systems with multiple enhancements. This blog explains how to identify all the implementations of a BADI in SAP.

1. Use Transaction SE18 (BADI Definition)

SE18 is the transaction used for exploring BADI definitions. You can use this transaction to view the list of active implementations for a specific BADI.

Steps:

• Go to Transaction SE18.
• In the Definition Name field, enter the name of the BADI you are investigating (e.g., BADI_SD_SALES).
• Click on Display.
• In the next screen, click on Implementation in the top menu.
• A list of all active implementations for the selected BADI will appear.

You can double-click on any implementation to view more details about the custom enhancements and the methods being used.

2. Use Transaction SE19 (BADI Implementation)

SE19 is typically used to create or modify BADI implementations, but it can also be used to list all existing implementations of a specific BADI.

Steps:

• Go to Transaction SE19.
• In the Implementation field, press F4 or click the search help button.
• In the search help, choose Implementation for BADI Definition.
• Enter the BADI Definition name for which you want to find implementations.
• The system will show all implementations for the selected BADI.

3. Use Transaction SE84 (Repository Information System)

The SE84 transaction is useful for navigating the SAP repository and searching for various development objects, including BADI implementations.

Steps:

• Go to Transaction SE84.
• Expand the tree structure under Enhancements > Business Add-Ins (BADIs).
• Click on Implementations to view the list of all BADI implementations in the system.
• In the search screen, enter the BADI Definition name if you are looking for a specific BADI or leave the field blank to list all implementations.
• Click Execute.
• A list of all existing implementations for the specified BADI will be displayed.

This method provides a comprehensive view of BADI implementations across the entire system.

4. Use Transaction SE93 (Find BADI by Transaction Code)

Sometimes, identifying the BADI implementations associated with a specific transaction is necessary. Using SE93, you can trace the program or function module triggered by the transaction and then search for BADI implementations.

Steps:

• Go to Transaction SE93.
• Enter the transaction code (e.g., VA01 for sales order creation) and click Display.
• Note the Program Name associated with the transaction.
• Use Transaction SE80 or SE38 to open the program.
• Search for calls to the BADI using keywords like CALL BADI.
• Once you identify the BADI, use SE18 or SE19 to find all implementations associated with that BADI.

This method is especially useful when working with transaction-specific BADIs.

5. Use Debugging Techniques

When a BADI implementation is triggered dynamically during transaction execution, you can use debugging techniques to identify all the active implementations.

Steps:

• Set a breakpoint in the BADI handler class:
  • Go to Transaction SE24.
  • Enter CL_EXITHANDLER in the class field.
  • Set a breakpoint in the method GET_INSTANCE.
• Execute the transaction where you suspect a BADI is triggered.
• When the breakpoint is hit, inspect the EXIT_NAME or related variables to identify the BADI being called.
• Use SE18 or SE19 to find all implementations associated with this BADI.

6. Use Function Module SXV_GET_IMP_TABLE

You can use the function module SXV_GET_IMP_TABLE to programmatically list all BADI implementations.

Steps:

• Go to Transaction SE37 (Function Builder).
• Enter the function module name SXV_GET_IMP_TABLE and click Execute.
• In the BADI_NAME field, enter the BADI definition you want to analyze.
• Execute the function module.
• The result will display a list of all active implementations of the specified BADI.

This method provides an easy way to retrieve the BADI implementations without navigating through multiple transactions.

7. Use Transaction SNOTE (SAP Notes)

Sometimes, SAP Notes can provide specific details about BADI implementations, especially if you are dealing with SAP updates or enhancements delivered by SAP.

Steps:

• Go to Transaction SNOTE.
• Search for relevant SAP Notes related to the BADI or the business process you are working on.
• Review the notes for any information about existing BADI implementations or newly delivered enhancements.

By following these steps, you can easily identify all the implementations of a BADI in an SAP system. Whether you use standard SAP transactions like SE18, SE19 or debugging techniques, identifying existing implementations is crucial for enhancing or troubleshooting custom logic in SAP systems.
