r/SAP

Every industry event talks like everyone migrated yesterday, but in reality, tons of businesses are still happily (or begrudgingly) running on ECC 6.0.

If your team is still holding off or taking the extended support route:

• Is it the sheer volume of custom code (Z-programs) nobody wants to untangle?
• Budget / lack of clear executive buy-in?
• Or just "it ain't broke, why spend millions fixing it?"

Where is your org leaning right now, and what’s the mood among your IT/business teams about it?

Which SAP consultancy in Germany is the best for SAP authorisations? Based on experience, which ones are not so good in this area?

I’d like to get to know the market better, as there are many consultancy firms, ranging from large to small.

I’d appreciate any genuine experiences from consultants or clients.

Hi everyone,

I didn't find a good guideline or instruction on this topic.

Can someone please explain me in detail step for step which tasks I need to activate in the backend ERP system and which tasks to activate in the frontend Gateway system? (OData Service, SICF Service, SAP authorization role PFCG, catalogue space page configuration, etc.)

From the start to the end, would appreciate it!

Thanks and best regards!

The company I work for are currently going through a go live launching SAP. I’m currently working towards being a super user , as well as helping with UAT. I believe once the system does go live we will be assisting with hyper care.

SAP as a system has really intrigued me whilst learning it and was just wondering if I could have an insight as to progression in the SAP world, and what the best way to start would be ?

Any tips would be greatly appreciated

I want your advise in how to make the jump. I’ve been lucky enough to be a manager for SAP teams now, and I desperately need to solidify myself in a more generalist role at a product company. I’ve been doing Ariba with a little bit of S4 and ECC MM so my roles seem to be fit for IT GPO roles, has someone made a similar jump?

Please share with me, as I have been feeling lost lately into what I can do, I don’t believe Nextgen or Jules are going to be that big, I think the new incoming generation of software is going to take over in the next 10 years.

Is it possible to work fully remote for a sap company in switzerland from austria or soon spain?

For 2 years now I have been thinking about leaving austria and a possible move to spain.

Soon I will have 3 years of experience in SAP Inhouse consulting and Im looking for companies in switzerland who would allow me to work remotly from spain.

Is anyone working fully remotly? If yes from where?

Thank you

An IT consulting director told me that my salary is high compared with my experience. I have around 5.5 years of SAP experience and earn around 21 LPA. Should I be concerned about being overpaid for my experience? How to handle this if I want to switch desperately!

I’m using transaction ZXBATCH and getting the error “Batch does not exist in the system” when trying to extend a batch. I don’t have access to MSC1N/MSC2N. Is there another way to create/extend the batch, or is this something that requires authorization?

I am completely new to VIM (Vendor Invoice Management) AND would like to start learning VIM by OpenText. I did not find any VIM dedicated subreddits nor any youtube channels.

Can you suggest me some beginner friendly training materials (Youtube videos or Udemy courses/ any other online resources etc.) on VIM (Vendor Invoice Management) ?

I already have access to VIM via SAP client.

What are CDS views in SAP ? Can someone explain this to me in a very easy to understand manner?

I am not a developer nor a technical consultant.

I'm a data migration lead in an SF to SF implementation project.

This is my first time to be in this scope (eg, Successfactors, HCM) as most of my previous projects were non-HCM migration to S4. The modules so far are EC, Time and Payroll.

To those consultants with experience in both scenarios, how different is the approach with migrating HCM data objects to Successfactors? what are the tools (extraction and load) that you used? What if an object has no standard upload tool? Are data objects in HCM more complex in terms of structures, dependencies and timings than the usual Material, Customer, Vendor and transactional objects? Do you have a reference guide on how to do migration for this specific scope?

I just need a mental model on how to approach this project.

Everything SAP publishes on agent integration assumes you have the MCP Gateway, which means Integration Suite Premium or Enhanced. Plenty of customers don't have that entitlement and won't buy it for a pilot.

What I've looked at:

• Own MCP server calling published OData. RA0029 sanctions an external MCP server, so this seems allowed. You just own all the auth and hardening yourself.
• RAP or SEGW in the ABAP stack. Cleanest curated layer, but only permitted on Private Cloud and on-prem.
• CAP with u/cap-js/mcp. Great DX, but Developer License 3.2 limits productive use to BTP or another SAP-licensed platform. Anyone got a straight answer on that?

Where I'm stuck: per-user identity. The Gateway has a documented IdP user token model. Without it you're building SAML bearer assertion or principal propagation yourself. Anyone done this against Public Cloud or other SAP products, and did you need Cloud Identity Services in the path?

Not looking for "just buy Integration Suite", curious what people are actually running without it.

Hi Guys,

We are frustrated with SAP Joule Studio Low code. They sold the customer lot of hype, but in delivery, nothing is working as expected. Currently we are building some custom joule skills for our customer. We ran into a situation where we need to send the current timestamp to the server as a sort of Nonce value.

We created a custom variable named "nonce". Then, we gave it a default value of "Expression" where the formula reads 'ConcatenateStrings([Now(), ""], "")'. Don't ask me why we are not using simply "Now()" [Now() is supposed to return string, but formula editor keeps throwing the error that the custom variable requires string type data].

During execution of the skill, the nonce custom variable is getting a value of "null". We are literally pulling our hair out here.

Can anyone lend a hand and point out what we are doing wrong.

Trying to get a sense of what other companies are actually paying before we go into vendor talks next month. We're a mid size manufacturer, around 400 employees, looking to move off an old ECC setup into S/4HANA, and honestly the quotes we've gotten so far are all over the place. One partner came in way lower than the other two and now I'm not sure if that's a good deal or a red flag.

We've talked to three implementation partners so far and gotten pretty different scopes and numbers from each one, which is making it hard to compare apples to apples. Anyone gone through this recently and can share what a realistic range looks like?

Hi,

I am SAP technical consultant, I am familiar with ABAP and my place is now doing migration from HANA (2016 version) to SAP RISE private cloud.

The project is handled by a well known consulting company and we use the brown field approach. But I realize most of the custom programs are just 'shift and lift' and modify to make it 'clean core ready'. So, I don't see CAP/RAP is being used in this migration.

So, wanted to check if RAP/CAP is really being used out there?

Thank you
