Workflow: Purchase Order/Requisition Approvers Simulation

Have you wondered how, after you’ve finalized your release strategy configuration (for Purchase Order and Requisition as an example), how the approvers for each code are ACTUALLY found?

If you’re using the standard Workflows, they’re using Rules (PFAC) to do so. One thing in common between these 2 rules (PO and PR) is that they both execute the FM ME_REL_GET_RESPONSIBLE to actually find the approvers for the Workflows (FIORI or SBWP).

“Test Doubles” and using OSQL Test Double Framework for ABAP Unit Tests

In this blog post, I am writing about test doubles in general and later mention how to handle the dependency in ABAP when the DOC is a database object.

Understanding ABAP Unit Testing Fundamentals – Overview for Beginners

In this blog series, I will share my understanding and knowledge about ABAP Unit Testing and TDD approach. As this itself is a vast topic, I will first begin with Unit testing fundamentals, then delve into testing framework. Later I will write about TDD, its necessity and illustrate how to achieve it practically. The blog series is structured in such a way that it goes from scratch, and later goes in-depth into the concepts.

Fiori Elements extensibility using CDS and KUE (Key User Extensibility Tool)

Prerequisites

UI Adoptation with KUE( Key user extensibilty) required certain security Roles.

Please make sure to assign  security Role SAP_UI_FLEX_KEY_USER to your user id in Fiori Front system.

ABAP Development in VS Code

When I started learning ABAP I found myself getting increasingly frustrated with the speed at which the SAP GUI for Java responded and I looked for other options, this is how I found that you can mount your SAP system as a filesystem in VS Code. This blog will cover how you can get started with developing ABAP from VS Code.

Note: If you are not running Netweaver v7.51+ you will have to install a patch that can be found as part of the first plugin install options.

SOAP web service using SAP Cloud Connector with SAP Cloud Platform

Optimizing your business with embedded intelligence, extending your processes with guided outcomes, or break new ground with open innovation by leveraging intelligent technologies Like SAP Cloud Platform, SAP Web IDE and SAP UI5 to transform processes and business models to deliver the outcomes that you and your customers need.

Usage of Module Pool to customize fields in TMG

Introduction:

In this blog post, we’ll go over a series of steps that will explain how to perform screen level changes such as column label, column sequence, visible length of the column and make use of excess space on screen in TMG without any modification in the table structure.

We generally use TMG to create, change and delete entries from the DB table. By following the steps mentioned in this post, you can change the look and feel of the screen as per your requirement.

Running SAP NW 7.52 SP4 trial in docker in Windows Subsystem for Linux 2

On top of that I’m very interested in running Linux on my Windows machine, since some development stuff just works better on Linux

Depending on your preferences, you can choose between these 3 options:

In option 1 I updated the original blog to make it run on Docker Desktop for Windows with the SAP NW 7.52 SP4 trial.

Refactoring with sensing variables

In this blog-post i want to show how to refactor ABAP source-code using sensing variables.

Sensing variables

Sensing variables were a idea invented by Micheal Feathers, which help to preserve existing behavior after refactorings. Refactoring in this context means to split a long procedure into smaller procedures.
In this blog-post i want to modify Feathers idea a bit, so that it is more suitable for ABAP developers.

Memory wasted by spring boot application

One of the widely wasted resources in the world today is: Memory. Due to inefficient programming, surprising (sometimes ‘shocking’) amount of memory is wasted. We see this pattern repeated in several enterprise applications. To prove this case, we conducted a small study. We analyzed the famous spring boot pet clinic application to see how much memory it is wasting. This application has been designed by the community to show how the spring application framework can be used to build simple but powerful database-oriented applications.

All about CDS Annotations

This blog would give insights about the Annotations used in the S4HANA CDS DDL views.

If you are begineer then you will be puzzeled what are the available Annotations which we can use while creating a CDS view. SAP doesn’t allow any customer specific annotations so you have to use what ever SAP delivered.

SAP MDG- Entity data specific to current Change request

1. Introduction – The purpose of this document is to explain If the material is processed under 2 change request i.e Parallel Processing, then we need to bifurcate data specific to each CR.

2. Overview – In Parallel Process we can have the same material in multiple active CR. For example, a material can be requested for an extension for 2 different Plant in two separate CR. So while processing the first CR one should not execute any action on data which is from the second CR.

Proposal search for Standard field in SAP

In this blog we are going to learn about how to enable ‘Proposal search help for standard field’ which is similar to Google search suggestions when you start typing words in search box.

Yes! you heard me right, it is possible to provide proposal search help in standard screen fields even though Search help is not assigned to field in Screen attributes and it is possible in ABAP 7.4 and higher.

Smartform folders: change their sequence at runtime

On a customer project, we were asked to add some flexibility to the display of customer “Factsheets”: ability to suppress some sections, and possibility to change sequence of the displayed ones.

A “Factsheet” is a SAP SmartForm that provides in PDF format a customer overview of various data, including sales, marketing, service and logistics data. Factsheet is requested from a Fiori app, and is provided either online or by e-mail.
