Field Exits are branches from a screen field with data
element reference in a function module.
They are of 2 types
Global Field Exits
Local Field Exits.
Types of Filed Exits
7
Global Field Exits are not limited to one screen. If you
use the data element on multiple screens, you will
branch to a function module from all these screens once
the exit is activated.

Local field exits are valid for one screen only. If you
assign the screen of a specific program to the data
element, then you will branch to a function module only
from this screen after activation.

When does it Trigger
11
We will create a field exit for data element MATNR.
We will create a Global Field Exit. In which we will restrict
users from entering a Material No ASD123.
In the second instance we will create a Local Field Exit so
that it triggers only when the material no is 300 and check it
using examples 1 & 2. And the filed exit should fire only in
the second example.
Example
12
Data
element
Matnr
Program : SAPLMGMM , Screen No. : 0060
