Introduction:
This article explains requirement of Customer Exit Variables in BW/BI reports. We will learn how to use characteristic Customer Exit variables in our BI reports. Customer Exit Variable: In BI project, consultant often come across the situation when they need to use a processing type other than manual entry / default value, replacement path, SAP exit, or authorization to fulfill the requirement of the customer, then a customer exit gives you the option of setting up a processing type for variables, tailor-made to your specific needs.

Business Scenario:
In many BI reports (For example Sales Report) user want to see the MTD (Month-To-Date) sales data. For th st example if user runs the sales report on 7 April, 2011 then report should give the sales data from 1 April, th st 2011 to 6 April, 2011. Similarly if user runs the sales report on 1 day of any month then report should give st the sales data of all the days of last month. For example, if user runs the report on 1 April, 2011 then report st st should give the sales data from 1 March, 2011 to 31 March, 2011. In order to reflect the data in our BI report as per above requirement, we need to use the Customer Exit Variable on Calendar Day (0CALDAY)
