24ENHANCEMENT1110 – Implement Explicit Enhancements

To implement explicit enhancements in SAP, follow these detailed steps. Explicit enhancements allow you to insert your custom code at predefined enhancement points or sections in the standard SAP program, without modifying the original SAP code.

Steps to Implement an Explicit Enhancement:

1. Identify the Enhancement Spot

  • Open the standard SAP program or object where you want to add your custom logic.
  • Use SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE38 (ABAP Editor) to navigate to the program.
  • Search for the predefined enhancement spots. Look for keywords like ENHANCEMENT-POINT or ENHANCEMENT-SECTION in the code.

 

2. Switch to Enhancement Mode

  • Once you’ve identified the enhancement spot, go to the program in SE80 or SE38.
  • Click on the Display button to view the program.
  • From the Edit menu, select Enhancement Operations > Show Implicit Enhancements (to display both implicit and explicit enhancement points).

 

3. Create an Enhancement Implementation

  • Right-click on the ENHANCEMENT-POINT or ENHANCEMENT-SECTION in the program.
  • Choose Enhancement Implementation > Create.

 

4. Define the Enhancement Implementation

  • In the dialog that opens, provide a name for your enhancement implementation. This should be unique and descriptive.
  • Enter a Short Text to describe what the enhancement does.
  • Specify a Package where you want to store the enhancement.

 

5. Add Custom Logic

  • A new window will open for you to insert your custom ABAP code.
  • Enter the code that you need to implement. For example:

ENHANCEMENT 1  Z_ENHANCEMENT_SPOT.

  IF custom_field IS INITIAL.

    MESSAGE ‘Custom Field cannot be empty’ TYPE ‘E’.

  ENDIF.

ENDENHANCEMENT.

  • The enhancement points allow you to insert custom logic where the ENHANCEMENT-POINT is defined, while ENHANCEMENT-SECTION allows you to replace a whole section of the SAP code.

 

6. Activate the Enhancement

  • After entering your custom logic, Save and Activate the enhancement.
  • You can activate the enhancement implementation by clicking the Activate button or using the menu path Enhancement Operations > Activate.

 

7. Test the Enhancement

  • Test your enhancement by executing the program or transaction that triggers the enhancement.
  • Debug to ensure your custom code is being called at the correct point.
