Guide covers Misc SAP FI-CA / Events & Enhancements

The event concept enables the integration of industry-specific and customer-specific function modules at specific points in the existing system architecture. Using installation-specific and industry-specific function modules you can enhance the standard business processes by predefined program events without modifications. Depending on the event, they can either realize alternative program logic or additional functions.

Overview

Execute transaction code FQEVENTS and you will get the following overview screen:

Where-Used list (Ctrl+Shift+F3)

With clicking on the Where-Used-List Icon in Function Builder (SE37) for Sample function module FKK_SAMPLE_XXXX you can see the standard coding where the event function modules are called.

Tables

From the following tables, the function module FKK_FUNC_MODULE_DETERMINE sequentially determines the event modules defined in Customizing that are to be processed:

Table	Short Description
TFKFBM	Sample function modules
TFKFBS	Standard function modules for Industry solutions
TFKFBC	Installation-Specific Function Modules (Customer Function Modules)

Flags

Flag	Description
Additional Functions TFKFBM-MEHR	Specifies whether several function modules can be processed in this event or a maximum of one. >If the indicator is set, several function modules of the corresponding industry solution and several customer-specific function modules can be processed. The modules that the application area has defined are called first, and then the customer-specific modules. > If this indicator is not set, only one function module is called. In this case, a customer function module has priority over an application-specific function module.
No Customer Module TFKFBS-NOCUS	If this indicator is set, customer function modules are not taken into account for this event in the application area in question.
