Today, SAP ERP counts for more than 65,000 installations worldwide. Experts estimate that 90-95% of these installations use Sales and Distribution (SD), so we can assume that roughly 60,000 businesses around the globe use it. In other words, SAP SD is a true ERP success story.
There are many reasons for this success, but one that repeatedly ranks the highest is the level of configuration and customization that can be achieved within SD. Both sales and distribution form integral parts of most modern businesses. Therefore, the ability to mold the system to key business processeswhere deemed necessarycan be paramount. While configuration enables a business to add system settings within the boundaries of the programming code defined by SAP, customization goes deeper and requires additional code in ABAP, SAPs programming language.
However, customization of standard software is often frowned upon. Experts perceive any deviation from the standard as a potential heachache when it comes to future upgrades. This leaves customers in a dilemma, as shown in the following light-hearted illustration.
Over the past 20 years, however, SAP has worked hard to allow its customers to slightly adjust key processes if necessary, yet still remain on the upgrade path. This is enabled by different kinds of technologies such as exits, business add-ins (BAdIs), and the more recent introduction of the Enhancement Framework. These technologies support ABAP code customizations and play a major role when modifying SAPs standard ABAP delivery.
This book is predominantly based on my own consulting experience and tasks I have worked on over the years. I have tried to include helpful, real-world examples of varying difficulty and complexity.
will show you how to do the following:
Add new field validations for a sales order.
Capture additional data in custom fields within Transactions VA01/02.
Automatically create a SAP CRM activity after billing cancellation.
Filter pricing data within a SAP standard web service for order confirmation.
Add custom fields within SD pricing.
Set a delivery block from new validation within a code enhancement.
Use a BAdI to keep track of delivery KPIs within a little custom reporting system.
Enhance a standard delivery monitor report to include custom KPI data.
Split invoice items into separate documents by using a VOFM routine.
Change the reference field and numbering range while a new invoice is created.
concludes with an outlook on ERP enhancements and their role in the future.
Within the appendices you will find an overview of all SD-related exits and BAdIs, as well as one of the longer coding examples (which can also be found online).
This book will be beneficial to the following groups of people:
ABAP developers (beginner, intermediate)
SD consultants (all levels of experience)
Support consultants (all levels of experience)
SAP architects (all levels of experience)
Project team members who require a deeper understanding of how to enhance standard SAP ERP
All examples in this book have been created and tested in a SAP ECC 6.06 system on SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.31. However, none of the shown examples require such a recent release level (as of July 2012) and any SAP ECC 6.0 and SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.x and above will suffice. If you work on earlier releases, some of the newer enhancement techniques such as BAdIs or the Enhancement Framework might not be available.
If in doubt, refer to the overviews in to check whether an enhancement point or BAdI is available within the application release you are using.
Software development doesnt take place in a vacuum, and most of the time there are underlying pains and purposes for it. The same goes for any enhancements to SAP systems, which invariably often stem from business requirements. Therefore, simply showcasing the most common exits and enhancements with instructions on how to implement them doesnt reach far enough. Its important to tell a business story. Its equally important for IT professionals to realize this concept and have a grasp of the business story behind a proposed change.
Youll find that this book mirrors the real world as much as possible. Throughout the course of this book, I have used stories and anecdotes from a fictional project to better illustrate the discussed topics.
Youll come across a junior ABAP developer and a senior SD consultant, who will accompany you on your learning journey. So lets meet the business, Sean, and Christine
Byrell Corporation has been trading for more than 50 years as a logistics business with depots and warehouses in various locations on the British Isles. The company has been growing steadily over the past 40 years, in particular in the past 20, which among other things led to the boards decision to implement SAP R/3 and replace the various legacy systems previously in place. Apart from the traditional haulage business, Byrell also offers storage and warehousing solutions, based on its SAP systems and custom developments.
In 2004, Byrell decided to add SAP CRM alongside its SAP ERP system to offer its customers a better integration of opportunity management and quotations.
Byrell envisages an upgrade to the latest SAP ECC Enhancement Pack in the near future and has already instructed its SAP team to prepare for this.
Sean has been with the Byrell Corporation for more than 30 years now. He started with Byrell when he was in his early twenties, working as a packer in the warehouse. Over the years, his bosses recognized his technical aptitude and gave him the option to cross over into IT, where he played a pivotal role in the implementation of SAP R/3 3.1i in 1995. Since then, he has worked on other major upgrades, all the way to the current SAP ECC 6.0 release. Apart from his upgrade project work, Sean deals with smaller SD support and improvements, liaising between business and IT.
