SAP's Clean Core Level concept has now been around for about a year. It replaces the old 3-tier model and no longer rates existing Z-code in binary terms as "clean" or "not clean," but on four levels from A to D. At the very bottom is Level D: things SAP actively advises against — using "noAPI" obje
In customer projects, we keep noticing that authorizations are often a rather unpopular topic. Not infrequently, the authorization concept is reduced to assigning the authorization object S_START (OData V4) or S_SERVICE (OData V2) to the user role –

Have you ever encountered issues with enqueue locks or drafts that were not removed automatically?
We recently faced exactly this situation in one of our systems and were finally able to identify the root cause and resolve the issue.

Hello everyone,
there's some more news from Brandeis Consulting.
This edition covers, among other things, our new AI workshop format Headless Apps with SAP ABAP, which will take place for the first time as an open training in Man
Anyone who knows me knows: I like SQL. That's why I wrote the book SQLScript for SAP HANA years ago. In SAP projects, SQL is often the fastest way to understand data models (and the data behind them), narrow down errors, or simply find out what is really happening in the system.
For ABAP develo
This year (2026), at a BW/4HANA customer: brand-new transformation routines in ABAP, cleanly formatted, modern syntax in many places. And right in the middle of it, a READ TABLE ... BINARY SEARCH. Written by a developer who was so young that BINARY SEARCH was already outdated when he was born. W
Most AI projects fail. The figure of 95% is being tossed around. The reasons are often similar: expectations set too high, a lack of experience, missing application scenarios, or a missing methodology. This is exactly where our new AI workshop comes in. A
"Headless" refers to applications that are operated exclusively through AI chatbots. Should we take this seriously in the SAP world?
In this blog, we present the whitepaper "Data-Driven Manufacturing" by Fraunhofer IFF from the SAP ABAP perspective.
As part of Germany's largest community developer conference, there will be a one-day workshop on modern SAP ABAP and Clean Core.
With the SQL Notebook in the Business Application Studio, you can interactively run SQL statements or blocks of SQLScript. This can be used in many ways, for example for data analysis, as an interactive read-me file, or fo
Lately, there has been a lot of talk about digital sovereignty and about how we should be more careful when storing our data on the platforms of large American providers. There has been a concept called the "Asset Administration Shell" for quite some time now, but hardly anyone knows about it. W
Companies today face the challenge of continuously developing their employees while working efficiently at the same time. New technologies, modern working methods, and rising demands make targeted qualification indispensable. In-house training offers a particularly effective solution for this. Wi
Until now, creating a CDS-based OData service for a dynamic Fiori tile was simply impossible for me because I didn't know one small detail. The service requires a field named number, which unfortunately is a reserved keyword. Thanks to a [blog post in the SAP Community](https://community.sap.com/t
A few days ago, Marco Beier pointed me to the post [How to handle errors for semantic key with number range in RAP?](https://community.sap.com/t5/technology-q-a/how-to-handle-errors-for-semantic-key-with-number-range-in-rap/qaa
Time and again you think to yourself "oh - how did that snippet/method for ... go again" - and then the big search begins to find where you did that before. And today - yes, today! - is the day I've had enough of always having to dig up my snippets somewhere or google t

We are delighted to welcome Jörg to our team as of October 2025!
His journey with SAP began back in 1996 as a working student at a large telecommunications group. At the time, SAP R/3 3.0c was the current release – and it was there that Jörg developed his first interfaces with ABAP. It became appar
No matter how much effort you put into inventing and coding the most beautiful app - sometimes it simply makes sense to jump off into other apps that may not be quite as great. For this, you use intent-based navigation in Fiori Elements. There are quite a few sources on th

Machine learning logic implemented in SQLScript can be integrated into calculation views by using table functions. With the new snapshot function for calculation views in the Business Application Studio, the results of the machine learning execution can be stored and used for advanced analyses in ca
With the CONV constructor operator, we can conveniently adjust the data type of a parameter when calling a method. However, this bypasses ABAP's type checking. The EXACT constructor operator is often the better choice, because it additionally verifies that no data is lost.
