How to find BAdIs with a Function Module
Hi All,
After seeing a Lot of questions on Identifying BADI. Here I would like to give a simple and easy method to Identify a BADI.
Many people was not aware of Object Oriented Programming as they wish to succeed in Procedural programming only.
So they prefer not to search a BADI using commonly know method CL_EXITHANDLER and GET_INSTANCE.
There is one more way to identify the BADIs in a simple way
Using the Function Module SXV_GET_CLIF_BY_NAME.
How to use this Function Module to Identify a BADI for a Transaction.
Step 1. Go to SE37 and display the Function Module SXV_GET_CLIF_BY_NAME.
Step 2. Put a break point at the ENDFUNCTION of the Above mentioned Function Module.
Step 3. Run the Transaction for which you want to search a BADI.
Note: For every operation the Code Breaks and Function Module return some values in its Parameters.
In the Parameter CLIF and NAME. you will get the BADI or Exit name.
Now the question is how to identify whether it is a BADI or Exit. Answer is, Parameter PREFIX of the Function Module.
If this is CL_EX then it is a BADI else it is a Exit. Example is shown in the below Screen shot. A BADI for Transaction FPP2 when you click on SAVE.
Hope this document helps Other people who dont know this method of finding a BADI.
Regards,
V S BHARGAV.
Very usefull and easy way.
Hello Venkat ,
Very thanks for this useful document.
Till now I was aware of CL_EXITHANDLER ( setting Breakpoint ) technique only.
This will definitely be an added advantage for sure.
Thanks Sijin.. Hope you will have fun with this...
Definitely I will give this a try, the next time I need to deal with BADIs. 🙂
Hi Venkat,
Though this is a known way to find the badi, some of them will not be aware of it as said above.
It would be nice if the word "Identify" is changed to "Find" in the subject line so that the search function will hit this document easily 😉
Ok Cool.
I agree, Thanks for the Comment.
Hi Venkat,
I dint know of this method to find the BADI, very useful !
Thanks Ashwin.. Have fun then... 🙂
Hello Venkat ,
For a least experienced consultants like me this technique is really new and an added advantage.
Thaks again 🙂

Hi Venkat,
This is a very new concept that i came to know from you. Thanks for improving the nowledge by 1.
Nice document.
Thanks Ravi,
This is the one easiest way out of 6 Methods in finding a BADI which I know.
Hope this helps everyone. Thank you 🙂
What are the six methods. can u just name them.
I guess most of us know only one method i.e
By using the clas CL_EXITHANDLER and putting break-point in it.
I Will submit in a document and let you know.
I hope that will be useful for everyone.
Thanks ,

I think this FM is called inside that cl_exithandler get instance or get class by interface... right ?
Yep, Maverick. That is true.. 😉
But you know, People prefer this way rather than EXITHANDLER. What Say ?
surely they would even i would.... 🙂
its easier ...

Hi Bhargav,
Easy way to find BADI...thanks for sharing this information.
...another secret is revealed, god job and many thanks!
Oops its a Secret.. Keep calm... 😛
Easy way to find a BADI. Thanks for sharing.
Thankyou V S BHARGAV MYLAVARAPU.
Apparently when i tried for ME22N, If we do it class exithandler & instance way, it will give you BAdI "ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST" but through this method, it returns "ME_PROCESS_PO". While creating implementation for "ME_PROCESS_PO" in SE19, it gives an error "BAdI definition ME_PROCESS_PO is only provided for internal SAP.". Do we have to do anything additional to this to get "ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST"?
If i could know how to get the exact BAdI here, this truly is a time saving and very helpful way.

Hi KS,
For every operation you perform on the Page. It will give the Badi. Right now my system is down and I cannot tell the Exact one. Lets continue our discussion in the Thread http://scn.sap.com/thread/3406117. Thanks for your comments. Please do rate the document.
Really its a very useful document..
good documnet..one single fm to identify both badi as well as exits..
Its very useful to find BAdi and EXIT in transaction code.
Hi V S,
I didn't know this method to find BADI, so, very thankyou to you and really it's very useful document....
Many Thanks/ Himanshu Gupta
Very Informative...Many Thanks.

Hi Bhargav,
Good one. Not sure why this method to find a BADI is relatively unknown and the CL_EXITHANDLER method of finding a BADI is world renowned . Can you let us know the other methods also ?
BR,
Shankar.
Hi Shankar,
there are 6 methods that I know.
1. CL_EXIT_HANDLER
2. SXV_GET_CLIF_BY_NAME
3. SPRO
4. SE18 F4 with Package
5. SE18 F4 with Application Component
6. Funky way, search with short description on SE18
Please rate the document, this encourages to post more like this.
