What is required to activate the use of a BADI implementation?

To activate the use of a BADI (Business Add-In) implementation, the creation of the BADI implementation is essential. This process involves defining the specific functionality or logic that you want to add to the standard SAP application. When you create a BADI implementation, you specify the filter values, if any, and implement the necessary methods associated with that BADI.

Once the implementation is created, you can activate it, allowing the new functionality to be executed during the runtime of the SAP application. Therefore, without creating the BADI implementation, there is no enhancement to activate, making this step the fundamental requirement for utilizing a BADI effectively.

The other choices, while related to the overall process of working with BADIs, do not represent the first step required to activate a BADI implementation. For instance, modifying the adapter class is not mandatory for simply activating that implementation, and writing code for methods is part of creating an implementation, but it cannot occur without first establishing the implementation itself. Meanwhile, activating the enhancement project is indeed a step in the overall workflow but is contingent upon having a BADI implementation created initially.
