47 - SAP ABAP - Business Add-Ins

Business Add-Ins (BADIs) in SAP are enhancement techniques that allow users to add custom code to existing programs, improving functionality. BADIs are defined through an interface and can be implemented by multiple customers simultaneously, offering flexibility through features like contexts and filters. Introduced in SAP Release 4.6A and redefined in Release 7.0, BADIs enable tailored enhancements in standard applications.

SAP ABAP - Business Add-Ins


In some cases, special functions need to be predefined in a software application to
enhance the functionality of various applications. There are many Microsoft Excel add-ins
to improve the functionality of MS Excel. Similarly, SAP facilitates some predefined
functions by providing Business Add-Ins known as BADIs.

A BADI is an enhancement technique that facilitates a SAP programmer, a user, or a


specific industry to add some additional code to the existing program in SAP system. We
can use standard or customized logic to improve the SAP system. A BADI must first be
defined and then implemented to enhance SAP application. While defining a BADI, an
interface is created. BADI is implemented by this interface, which in turn is implemented
by one or more adaptor classes.

The BADI technique is different from other enhancement techniques in two ways −

Enhancement technique can be implemented only once.

This enhancement technique can be used by many customers simultaneously.

You can also create filter BADIs, which means BADIs are defined on the basis of filtered
data that is not possible with enhancement techniques. The concept of BADIs has been
redefined in SAP Release 7.0 with the following goals −

Enhancing the standard applications in a SAP system by adding two new


elements in the ABAP language, that is ‘GET BADI’ and ‘CALL BADI’.

Offering more flexibility features such as contexts and filters for the enhancement
of standard applications in a SAP system.

When a BADI is created, it contains an interface and other additional components, such
as function codes for menu enhancements and screen enhancements. A BADI creation
allows customers to include their own enhancements in the standard SAP application.
The enhancement, interface, and generated classes are located in an appropriate
application development namespace.

Hence, a BADI can be considered as an enhancement technique that uses ABAP objects
to create ‘predefined points’ in the SAP components. These predefined points are then
implemented by individual industry solutions, country variants, partners and customers
to suit their specific requirements. SAP actually introduced the BADI enhancement
technique with the Release 4.6A, and the technique has been re-implemented again in
the Release 7.0.
