 Creating a BAdI 

Procedure
1. Start the Object Navigator (SE80).
2. Open an enhancement spot. For more information, see Creating, Editing, and Deleting
Enhancement Spots.
3. Select the Enh. Spot Element Definitions tab page.
4. Choose Create BAdI.
A dialog box appears.
5. Enter a name and a short text for the BAdI.

BAdIs are in the same namespace as global data types from the ABAP
Dictionary, global classes, or interfaces. For BAdIs, we recommend using the
prefix “BADI_” (or “ZBADI_”, and so on, in the customer namespace).
The new BAdI appears as a node in the tree display of the tab page.
6. On the right-hand side of the page, do the following:
a. Enter the attribute for multiple use.
b. Enter the instance creation mode.
c. Enter the attribute for internal SAP BAdIs (only SAP internal use).
d. Optional: Enter a Fallback Class.
e. In the tree, expand the BAdI and choose the Interface node. Enter the name of
an existing BAdI.
7. Optional: Choose the function Create Filter to create a filter.
Here you can:
a. Enter the filter name, filter type, and description.
b. Optional: If you choose Constant Filter Value During Call, you may only specify a
constant value at the respective filter when using GET BADI. This is provided for
future performance improvements of the statement.
c. Optional: Enter either a data element or a domain with fixed values, or a search
help. Alternatively, enter a check or input help class, and a length (together with
decimal places). In this way, the filter values specified at GET BADIcan be checked
during the BAdI implementation.
8. Optional: Choose the function Create Screen Enhancement in order to create the BAdI
as a screen enhancement.
The BAdI must not be of a multiple use type.
a. Enter Calling Program, Screen Number, Subscreen Area, and Description.
