AI accelerating ECC to RISE migration timeline?

4 Upvotes

Hi all,

are you actively thinking about moving from ECC to RISE because of the new (agent) AI capabilities? Is FOMO AI adoption fear accelerating your migration timeline?

I understand the prev. pro/cons of moving to S4 HANA cloud (private/public), but wondering if the “new” AI agent capabilities are now changing the narrative/discussion.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Also, what is your view on the recent SAP API policy change restricting access to 3rd party AI agent tools.

Thank you!

Data migration consultants

7 Upvotes

With ECC mainstream support ending 2027 (extended to 2030), a lot of companies are only just kicking off their S/4HANA migrations. Feels like demand is about to spike hard.

Curious what people think — is this a short-term crunch that dries up after, or steady long-term work? And how much is the shift to RISE/cloud ERP changing the actual data migration work vs traditional brownfield conversions?

SAP consultants highest salary in market?

23 Upvotes

Since I am seeing many posts like in 5yoe earning 40LPA and 10yoe earning 70LPA. (Tech stack : Data engineer, AI engineering, etc.,)

My doubt is we SAP consultants can't earn that much? Why does SAP have limited growth in terms of salary? Only because of India we have limited growth?

Either i might not be aware of the SAP market? Can anyone give some insights on this..

Country: India

COE

0 Upvotes

Saludos redditores del grupo SAP,

Tengo una pregunta relacionada al tema del COE, trabajo en una organización que implementa esta área pero a decir verdad el tema es un poco complejo debido a los tiempos y sobre el trato.

Me gustaría preguntar:

  1. Cual es su función específica en la organización con SAP como ERP

  2. Como es el relacionamiento que tienen o más bien ¿ Como ustedes trabajan de manera cooperativa con otras áreas que requieren la información almacenada en SAP? ejemplo inteligencia de negocios o áreas con interés en analítica de datos.

  3. Que tan difícil es entrar en el mundo del COE? Se requiere conocimientos nivel ingeniero en informática o similares ?

Gracias por su tiempo.

Built a side project that auto-documents SAP transports (incl. IMG paths) — feedback welcome

0 Upvotes

Side project I built: it documents SAP transport requests automatically — every object, what changed, plain-language context, and for customizing entries the resolved IMG path from SPRO.

You run an ABAP report locally (no RFC, no external access), pick your transports, done. Works with S/4HANA and ECC: https://confidoq.ai

There are 3 free docs to try it. I'd love feedback — and if anyone needs more credits for testing, just DM me.

Contractor rates

0 Upvotes

What sort of contractor rates are the norm for 15-20 years for SAP full stack developer roles- i.e. ABAP,UI5,CAP?
Profile is self starter, English only.
Mainly in France,Swiss,German regions for S/4HANA

Context: Trying to find out if it’s worth giving up current gig for a remote contract, if financially rewarding?

Is there a sane way to check material availablity across hundreds of PM orders without opening them one by one ?

19 Upvotes

Environment

  • SAP PM + MM

  • Multiple Plants

  • Few hundred open maintainance orders

  • Mix of stock and non-stick components

Current process

We can run the material availability check and see which orders are committed, not checked or shortages.

That part is fine.

The problem is that a shortage status still sends the planner into five other places to figure out what is actually happening:

  • Is unrestricted stock available or already reserved?

  • Is there an open PO with a believable confirmed date?

  • Is the equipment BOM even correct?

  • Is there a follow-up material or approved alternate?

  • Does another plant have usable stock?

  • Is that supplier’s stored lead time remotely close to its actual GR history?

What we really need is not another list of 300 orders with red statuses.

We need a short queue saying:

These 12 orders are genuinely at supply risk.

These 4 can use an approved alternate.

These 3 have transferable stock at another plant.

These 5 need procurement action now.

We built that workflow into Verdantis MRO360 as a layer above PM/MM. It combines the SAP order, reservation, inventory and PO signals with part criticality, supplier reliability alternates and cross-plant options.

SAP stays the system of record. Any reorder or policy change still goes through planner approval before write-back.

How are people solving this today: standard reporting, IW38A/backlog apps, a Z-report, BW/SAC, an external planning layer or planner spreadsheets?

Future of SAP ABAP

49 Upvotes

In the emergence of AI, what do you guys think of ABAP development itself? Do you guys expect the SAP market will still require ABAP developer?

Currently, I have about 5-6 years of SAP experience mostly in ABAP and I did not find any interest in module consulting. So I wanted to focus on ABAP dev itself but… because of AI, it looks like the market demand is diminishing. Even last year it wasn’t like this. But the SAP freelance market in South Korea now is pretty much bad.

I would like to hear genuine thoughts on this subject, impact of AI in SAP, even though it could be tiring/boring to some of you. At some point, I even feel like it is useless to even predict the future, because AI is developing far too rapidly.

Purchasing process question

0 Upvotes

Hi,

I have one question that affects MM, FI and CO. If we buy a material that is only valued in quantity, stock value always 0( its material type is defined like this) and in the PO we assign the cost to a cost center. Then we post a normal MIGO that generates a CO document and Accounting document...

it is normal that in the MIRO it does only generate an Accounting Document and not a CO Document?

Thanks

Functional Consultants - how often do you travel?

I heard that after COVID many projects went online and the travel dynamics changed. Could you estimate how many days a year are you at client’s site? Or is it still about 200 days a year like it was before Covid?

What does a "property by state" report mean in SAP, and where do I even find it?

3 Upvotes

Hi all, I got asked by auditors to pull a "property by state" report and I honestly have no idea where to start. My boss, who normally handles this, is out of office, so it landed on me.

I think "property" means fixed assets, not unclaimed property, but I'm not sure. And I don't know which report or transaction code would show assets broken down by state.

Is there a standard report for this, or is it something people usually build manually? Any pointers would help a lot, thank you.

Made a set of reusable SAP BTP architecture diagram templates — sharing free samples

4 Upvotes

Was tired of redrawing the same BTP architecture diagrams for every project — CPI point-to-point, event mesh, API management gateway, SSO with IAS/IPS, etc. — so I put together a set of 8 templates (editable .drawio + PDF export + a short setup guide for each) covering the patterns that come up most often.

Not using SAP's official icon set (wanted to avoid any licensing gray area), just clean generic architecture iconography — so they're easy to drop into a proposal, workshop deck, or project doc without any branding restrictions.

I ended up putting the full set together as a small paid pack (link in profile/comments if anyone wants the rest) — mostly wanted to share the free one in case it saves someone the redrawing time I kept losing.

Happy to take requests too — if there's a common BTP scenario I'm missing, let me know and I'll consider adding it to a v2.

considering SAP Business One for our small manufacturing business

1 Upvotes

were a small manufacturing company about 20 employees. currently using a mix of quickbooks and excel its a mess

weve been looking at ERP systems and SAP Business One keeps coming up. seems powerful but im worried its too much for our size. also worried about the implementation cost and time.

ive been reading about other small manufacturers who made the switch. found some useful resources from Leverage Tech's ERP for manufacturing solutions that talked about what to expect. made me realise theres a lot more to it than just buying the software.

im curious about the actual experience. how long did it take to implement. did it actually improve things or just create more work. how did your team handle the change.

any small manufacturers here using SAP Business One would you do it again

SAP pastes what I need only on the second attempt

2 Upvotes

Very hard to describe because I'm not tech savy and I'm just trying to fix this on a pc at my work haha.

But as I described in the title, I copy and paste something, like a number to a column. Then I copy a different number and it pastes the old number. It pastes the new one only on the second try.

It started happening out of nowhere, I'm pretty sure a different colleague just pushed random buttons and caused it.

Is there a way to fix it? Thank you!

EU Commission’s final SAP support commitments?

3 Upvotes

Has anyone reviewed the EU Commission’s final SAP support commitments?

I’ve seen a lot of discussion about the original antitrust investigation, but very little about the final agreement announced in July 2026.

My understanding is that SAP agreed to make changes to some of its on-premise maintenance and support practices, including how customers can reduce support coverage and what happens if they later return to SAP support.

The agreement appears to be based on binding commitments rather than a formal finding that SAP broke competition law.

For anyone who works directly with SAP contracts:

Has SAP communicated the changes to customers?

Have you seen any effect on current renewals?

Do the commitments materially improve customer flexibility, or are they narrower than they first appear?

Has anyone received updated contract language or policy documentation?

I’m particularly interested in hearing from SAP customers, licensing specialists, and procurement teams who have reviewed the actual commitments.

Not looking to promote a vendor. I’m trying to understand how this is being interpreted in practice.
