Dear Rajan,

Let me provide you some further input.

1st, you need to create a z implementation in crm_appointment_badi in tcode se18.

2nd, write your own code in IF_EX_CRM_APPOINTMENT_BADI~CRM_APPOINTMENT_MERGE

30	IF_EX_CRM_APPOINTMENT_BADI~CRM_APPOINTMENT_MERGE	ZCL_SPENCER_DATE_BADI=========CP
29	IF_EX_CRM_APPOINTMENT_BADI~CRM_APPOINTMENT_MERGE	CL_EX_CRM_APPOINTMENT_BADI====CP
28	APPOINTMENT_BADI_MERGE	SAPLCRM_ACTIVITY_FOREIGN_OW
27	CRM_APPOINTMENT_MERGE_OW	SAPLCRM_ACTIVITY_FOREIGN_OW
26	CRM_APPOINTMENT_FILL_OW	SAPLCRM_ACTIVITY_FOREIGN_OW
25	CRM_APPOINTMENT_CHANGE_OW	SAPLCRM_ACTIVITY_FOREIGN_OW
24	CRM_APPT_MAINTAIN_SINGLE_OW	SAPLCRM_ACTIVITY_FOREIGN_OW
23	CRM_APPT_MAINTAIN_MULTI_OW	SAPLCRM_ACTIVITY_FOREIGN_OW
22	CRM_DATES_DETERM_INITIAL_EC	SAPLCRM_DATES_EC

This crm_appointment_merge is called every time after system determine or modify an existing date type and duration. and provide user a chance to change this date type or duration.

basically, you need to write something in this method like below.

* duration is DURATION. start time is CONTSTART and end time is CONTEND.

if CS_APPOINTMENT_BADI-appt_type = 'DURATION' .

* read teh contstart and contend

* you need to find the proper FM to calculate contstart - contend = ? months. I do not know it.

* assign ? months to CS_APPOINTMENT_BADI-DURATION.

ENDIF.

If you cannot find FM to calculate contstart - contend, you may read start and end time from buffer gt_date_wrkt directly and calculate it yourself.
