BADI (Business Add-In) is a new SAP Object Oriented enhancement technique which
is used to add our own business functionality to the existing SAP standard funct
ionality.

Transaction code for BADI Definition:
SE18
When you create a BAdI definition, a class interface will be automatically creat
ed and you can define your methods in the interface. The implementation of the m
ethods can be done in SE19 transaction.

he
An
of

interface with 'IF_EX_' inserted between the first and second characters of t
BAdi name
adapter class with 'CL_EX_' inserted between the first and second characters
the BAdi name.

Transaction code to Implement BADI:

SE19
Types of BADI's: There are two types of BADI's.
1) Multi use BADI:
With this option, any number of active implementations can be assigned to the sa
me definition BADI. By default this option is checked.
If we want the BADI for multiple use
If you have multiple-use BADI definitions, the sequence must not play any role.
The drawback in Multiple use BADI is, it is not possible to know which BADI is a
ctive especially in country specific version.
2) Filter dependent BADI:
Using this option we can define the BADI's according to the filter values to con
trol the add-in implementation on specific criteria.
Ex: Specific country value.
