Taking Advantage of Proprietary SAP Tools
During SAP projects, there are several tools that are
forgotten or not very well known, but which helped us to
create better custom solutions that you can take advantage
of. In many cases, these tools help to avoid generating new
proprietary code. A too-high percentage of consultants does
not know all of these tools, or does not use them because
of lack of knowledge or because of some myths or false
assumptions about them. Without going into a deep and
detailed analysis, I will mention some of the most
important tools we should consider for our project:
Reporting:
• Report Writer, Report Painter, and ABAP-Queries, the
three report generators available in R/3, very powerful,
and relatively easy to use.
• Business Warehouse, the data warehousing tool included in
the SAP licenses: highly configurable and with easy data-
extraction functionalities to all other SAP solutions and
integration with almost all standard architectures
(Crystal, Ascential).
• Information Systems, the standard reporting structures in
some SAP solutions (R/3).
• ABAP List Viewer, a set of ABAP-Objects available to
develop highly configurable reports (lots of standard SAP
reports are developed with these objects).
• IViews/MiniApps, standard solutions which include
standard SAP data, graphics, and transactions into a
browser environment (mySAP Workplace/mySAP Portal).
Interfaces:
• BAPIs (Business Applications Programming Interfaces), a
set of standard RFCs (Remote Function Calls) to access and
enter SAP data without the typical maintenance problems of
custom developments (SAP maintains these BAPIs).
• IDOCs, the EDI objects for connecting on-line with other
systems/solutions.
• DCOM Connector, a development kit to simplify the
development of interfaces to SAP solutions from COM+
applications.
• SAPGUI Off-line entry tools, a set of different tools to
enter or access SAP data with standard tools like the
Microsoft Office Suite.
• SAP Console, a small server to convert graphic screens
from SAP into text screens (typically used to access SAP
transactions with a text-enabled wireless device like some
barcode readers).
• LSMW, an R/3 transaction for developing interfaces.
Programming screens and logic:
• GuiXT, non-proprietary SAP software included in the
standard SAPGUI. It provides the ability to change the
appearance of screens without changing the standard SAP
code. (It works on the front-end level.)
• Input Assistance, just like GuiXT. It works on the front-
end level, and permits users to change some logic of the
SAP transactions without changing the standard SAP coding.
(It needs an additional license from the manufacturer.)
• SAP Console (already stated above).
• BAPIs (already stated above).
• SAPGUI Off-line entry tools.
• User-Exits, predefined places in the SAP code where some
proprietary code can be included. (SAP guarantees to
maintain this code for subsequent versions without
alteration of the logic.)
• Field-Exits, a possibility to include some code to
control or change the content of input fields.
• match codes, a way to add or change available filters and
queries to search for the content of particular fields.
• Workflow/Webflow, the workflow functionality found across
every solution/module of SAP, to trigger automatic events
when a specific situation occurs.
• Validations and substitutions, customizing tools to avoid
codification of controls and substitutions of fields found
in some areas/modules of SAP Solutions.
• IViews/Miniapps (already stated above under Reporting).
Forms:
SAPScript and SAPForms, two different tools to develop
output forms and to avoid using ABAP code. SAPForms is much
more user friendly and the new (and recommended) tool to be
used.
Today, with the new NetWeaver™ technology, there are
additional tools that should be analyzed:
• XI (Exchange Infrastructure – The EAI Solution of SAP).
• SAP Enterprise Portal for e-collaboration, knowledge
management, etc.
• MDM (Master Data Management to ensure information
integrity and harmonization across the business network).
• SAP Web AS (Web Application Server for Web services).
