Hi everyone,

I am crating this post to express my frustration, surprise and losing of motivation when I see that even though when you enter LinkedIn's feed you only see posts about modern technologies: RAP, CAP, AI, etc, when you look for them in order to apply you see nothing.

How is this possible?
What should I do?
Should I still work with older ones or keep searching for something if it pops up?

Hi everyone,

I do live in Albania, Europe and I am an SAP Developer. Whenever I search for an American client( B2B contract ), they all do have as a perquisite having an US citizenship.

Is my desire realistic?
Do you know someone that works for them from outside?

Hi friends...like many others, our team is currently preparing for an SAP S/4HANA migration, and I'd love to hear some insight/tips from others who’ve been through it already.

If you’ve been involved in an S/4HANA migration, what insights or lessons would you share?

TIA!

I’ve used SAP. I’ve used Ariba. Coupa is the only tool that made SAP GUI feel premium.

Every release smells like follow-the-sun handoffs and a ticket mill: half-built features, 2012 UI, support closing tickets with “working as designed,” and integration docs written by someone who’s never seen an ERP. Leadership gutted the engineering culture, chased the cheapest offshore model, and failed upward. The product reflects incompetence from top to bottom.

I hate Coupa. Do not use it. If your CFO suggests it, update your resume. If a consultant recommends it, fire the consultant. If someone in r/sap says “Coupa integration,” run - don’t walk.

In S/4HANA Public Cloud, maintaining a Clean Core and staying aligned with SAP Best Practice scope items is critical. However, during Fit-to-Standard workshops, teams sometimes debate whether to introduce a single custom material type ZMAT (or a broad "MAT" umbrella) to represent all material categories—raws, finished goods, trading goods, and services—rather than using standard types (ROH, FERT, HAWA).

For those who have evaluated or implemented this approach in S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition:

1. Scope Item Breakage: How did consolidating into a single material type affect standard Best Practice scope items (e.g., BD9, J45, Sell from Stock) that depend on standard material types for Account Determination, MRP behavior, and Item Category determination?
2. Upgrade & Extensibility Friction: Did using a custom "MAT" type create issues during mandatory release upgrades, Fiori app validations, or Clean Core checks?
3. Valuation & Logistics Limits: How did you handle opposing requirements for quantity/value-based inventory tracking across raw materials versus services or non-stock items?
4. Real-World Experience: Did this model prove sustainable long-term, or did it generate technical debt that eventually forced a return to standard SAP material types?

Looking forward to hearing your insights and lessons learned!

Hello Sap folks,

So Im a sap basis consultant with 7 years of experience, I see no future, money or opportunities in Basis. Im trying to switch to a functional module. What do you suggest ? How can my technical be relevant to a functional module. Im open to all suggestions

Thank you!

Incorrect pricing in PO lead to an incorrect MIRO data entries and I'm consequence an incorrect payment. Let's say incorrect item unit price in inforecord lead to 5000€ total PO amount, then, the vendor sends invoice for 6000€, and the user instead of check with procurement how to solve this missmatch, used 1000€ from another PO against same vendor to complete the first PO total amount invoiceable...this invoice is paid now, and now we have 2 POs stuck with incorrect payments. Hows the correct procedure in this cases? IR is updated with correct pricing, PO pricing is updated too...Now how can we "revert" this already paid invoice in order to create now 2 separate correct invoices? One for each PO?

We’re preparing order-to-cash UAT on an ECC system, and most of the blockers so far aren’t the process: closed posting periods (OB52), number range intervals that stop years ago, no test users with the right roles, interfaces and output still pointing somewhere real after the last refresh.

My guess is that Basis does the refresh and post-copy steps, finance opens periods when someone complains, and the rest lands on the test manager.

How does it work where you are? And is there a checklist someone owns, or is it rebuilt every cycle?

Hello all,

I was wondering what you would recommend as the next steps in my learning journey. I recently completed an SAP MM academy and am looking to transition into a consultant role.

How can I keep practicing and build my hands on experience? Are there any platforms with practical exercises that you recommend?

Hey all, I’m helping with UAT for an SAP migration, and we’re looking at Tricentis and Panaya.

If you’ve used either, what did it actually help with? I’m especially curious whether it helped you work out what to test, or mainly run and manage test cases you’d already designed. Did you feel it was worth the cost?

Thanks!

Hi guys . I am a ABAPer . Currently working on my RAP based app knowledge. I have built a managed app with draft handling. I want to connect my rap app with SAP AI sdk. does anyone know how to connect ai with our rap app. is it possible. ? Can anyone help me with this.

I am new to SAP (not S/4HANA). One of my tasks is to go through a list of document numbers for invoices with payment block R and determine whether each one is blocked for a Price or Quantity mismatch. The lists often have 100 or more documents.

Right now I do it one at a time: copy the document number > FB03 > Environment > Document Changes > Original Document. This is too slow for the volume.

Is there another t-code or report where I can enter a range (such as a posting date range or document number range) or pull all R-blocked items and get an exportable list with a column showing the block reason, so I can match it in Excel?

My access is limited, and I do not have MRBR or SE16N. Please suggest as many options as possible, including ones that use tables or other standard reports, since I will need to check which ones I am authorized for.

Thank you.

Hello everyone,
even though the SAP cloud strategy is already in full swing, I still have one question.
Do all customers really have to migrate all their systems to the private or public cloud, or is it enough for each SAP customer to host just one system in one of these clouds, while the rest of the systems can remain on-premises?
Even after doing some research online, I’m still not quite sure, so I’m hoping there’s someone here who knows more about this.

Looking for SAP MM Fresher End user role.....

​

I'm fairly new to SAP.

Last year I made a student account with my student mail id (xyz@university.org) as primary. It made me add a secondary backup ID so I added (personal1@gmail.com)

Now I've joined as a consultant in a company that gave me LH access through (name.surname@work.com). I am not able to add my personal ID (personal1@gmail.com) to this work account for backup because it is associated with my university account.

I googled and it said maybe because I only had 1 other account to my student Id, it won't allow me to unlink. If I added 1 more ID to student ID, I will be able to unlink my personal1 id.

Therefore, I added a 3rd account (personal2@gmail.com) to my university UID.

Now I'm still unable to see unlink option. So I endes up adding 1 more account and now cannot do anything about the 3 accounts. Turns out they disabled manual unlink in july, 2026. So I raised a chat support request for unlinking personal1@gmail.com from my xyz@university.org. the chat support crashed.

So I mailed them using the support mail.

By when can I expect a response? Is this an introduction to how customers are treated cuz if I owned the business, I would never implement such a tool.🤡

Has someone figured out how to do this without losing my mind? Should i add personal3@gmail.com as backup to work account until my personal1@gmail.com is getting unlinked?

I always wondered how do people get situations that feel soooo specific. Now I know how. ☠️

Hi all

In my project we have moved old 7.3x sap BW version to 7.5x through SAP RISE platform

Now users are facing vba script issue in their system while executing the bex reports so basis team suggested to install AFO in system

Can anyone tell what prerequisite we need to check from BW end??

Hi,
Trying to create a list of data consistency check, business users are usually asking over and over, before and after any change in the system - to check if it did not introduce any difference.
Usually in form of master and customising data checks, if their relationships did not break.
Technically, smth like foreign keys checks or domain values checks are already in market.

But looking for questions the business asks, so they can be translated into queries.

Answers I look for: SAP module, business question.

Thanks

Hey everyone,

I recently had an interview for a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) role at SAP out of the New York City office.

Because FDE seems to be an expanding track for them, I wanted to see if anyone else here has gone through the pipeline recently in NYC?

The 2026 MQ for EA Tools is out. SAP LeanIX is furthest right and highest among the Leaders again, and the gap from the next cluster looks wider than last year. The other Leaders are Ardoq, Bizzdesign, Orbus, and BOC Group, same as 2025.

Using it day to day, the position makes sense. It handles non-architect adoption better than anything else we looked at, and the SAP integration is genuinely useful if you are running SAP broadly.

Where I think this is heading, for SAP customers specifically: the value of an EA tool is moving away from being a repository you log into and toward being the governance and decision layer underneath transformation work. A repository with dashboards is easy to stand up now. The harder part is ownership, accountability, and trusted data, which is exactly where the SAP integration helps if your landscape is SAP-heavy. The flip side is the one worth watching in a mixed environment: the deeper that integration goes, the more you want to be sure the tool stays useful for the non-SAP side of your estate.
