Can I Call Update task function module in a User-exit

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Just  wanted to know if I can call Update task function module in a User-exit ..

I have used it many times and is workin fine also, but one of my colleuge told me that we should not use Update task function module in a User-exit ...

Just wanted to have some idea, any standard sap Documnet will be too too helpful.

Thanking You All..!!

hi

it is allowed to call update functions from user-exists and enhancements

the "Problem" is, that an update function requires a commit work somewhen afterwards

you should not perform a commit work in a user Exit (exceptions confirm the rule) as this can cause Problems

if you don't execute the commit work yourself, you depend on the Standard coding after your user-Exit, if for example for whatever reason the Standard is not performing a commit or even doing a rollback, your function will then not be processed.

so it depends on the userexit (where it is called in Standard), for some userexits like savedocument_prepare/Before_save  etc, it's their purpose for you to do further updates here and a commit is comming later in the Standard flow and

hope this helps you in your Task

Hi Ankit,

we are using this for example in USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT in include MV45AFZZ to update Z-tables.

The function modules will only be processed, after a COMMIT in SAPMV45A (VA01, VA02, DP90, ...) and this is as it should work.

Hi,

Thanks a lot to Klaus and Jorg..!!

I agree with both of you and this is what I aslo believe but I came in confusion regarding this point, when one of my senior colegue contradicted, saying " We should not call Update Task FM in Exit".

It would be great, if some one can please provide me any SAP Doc. stating the same..!!

I know, you all are correct and I have written some Update Task FM in exit some 3-4 Yrs. ago and they are still working fine..!!

Just, wanted if some one can help me..!!

Thanking You All..!!
