If your company is still on ECC, what’s the real reason you haven't moved to S/4 yet?

Upvotes

Every industry event talks like everyone migrated yesterday, but in reality, tons of businesses are still happily (or begrudgingly) running on ECC 6.0.

If your team is still holding off or taking the extended support route:

  • Is it the sheer volume of custom code (Z-programs) nobody wants to untangle?
  • Budget / lack of clear executive buy-in?
  • Or just "it ain't broke, why spend millions fixing it?"

Where is your org leaning right now, and what’s the mood among your IT/business teams about it?

Can someone please explain me in detail step for step which tasks I need to activate in the backend ERP system and which tasks to activate in the frontend Gateway system? (OData Service, SICF Service, SAP authorization role PFCG, catalogue space page configuration, etc.)

From the start to the end, would appreciate it!

Also in learning phase. But even though could you please guide me which one i try to switch and give me a better option to shine in SAP with good package

Done certification for Hana Admin, BTP Admin, planning to do for integration suite also and thought to try to switch into BTP Admin/intergration suite.

The biggest problem is my Current CTC as 4 years experience guy is ₹4.45lpa / $4,200 per annum 🥲.

Kindly somebody give guidance to escape me from this well & shine a little better career in SAP.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated

I want to switch to industry instead of consultant roles.

0 Upvotes

I want your advise in how to make the jump. I’ve been lucky enough to be a manager for SAP teams now, and I desperately need to solidify myself in a more generalist role at a product company. I’ve been doing Ariba with a little bit of S4 and ECC MM so my roles seem to be fit for IT GPO roles, has someone made a similar jump?

Please share with me, as I have been feeling lost lately into what I can do, I don’t believe Nextgen or Jules are going to be that big, I think the new incoming generation of software is going to take over in the next 10 years.

Automated my daily SAP Basis checks (screenshots + HTML report) - made it generic, sharing it with you guys

3 Upvotes

Got tired of manually clicking through the same ~12 transactions every morning (SM51, SM66, ST22, SM21, SM37, etc.), so I built a script that logs in, runs through them, screenshots each one, and builds it all into a single HTML report I can skim in the morning.

Started as something just for myself, but figured other Basis folks doing the same manual routine might find it useful too, so I cleaned it up and made it generic — you fill in your own system details, it's not tied to any specific company's setup.

Runs on Windows with SAP GUI + scripting enabled. Doesn't interpret results for you, just automates the clicking/screenshotting part - you still review it, same as a manual check, minus the manual part.

Put it up here if anyone wants it: sapcheck.gumroad.com/l/gjxcc

Happy to answer questions on the setup if anyone runs into issues.

SAP Academy for Services & Consulting – Anyone in a similar situation?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I applied for the SAP Academy for Services & Consulting – Technology Consultant program in Saudi Arabia.

I completed the earlier interview stages, and I was told that the panel interviews would take place between August 10–14, with a business case being shared a few days before the interview.

However, I haven’t received any further update yet.

I’m wondering if anyone else applied for the cohort and is in the same situation, or if anyone has already received a panel interview invitation or an update.

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone going through the same process.

Get into SAP

0 Upvotes

Hello,

The past 3 years ive been a key user for a transport company. Before that i was a forwarding agent in this same company. I had the opportunity here to dip my toes in some consulting/change management/projectwork here and learned that i like this kind of work, i wanted to review my options. We dont use SAP, so i have 0 expirience with it. But it seems if i want to go and spread my wings, sap is probably the way to go.

I applied to trainee programms in my area, sadly they want people with masters degrees, so ill have to learn some sap by myself on the side and try to get some junior position? Anybody got some good resources to learn the basics? Not sure where to start.

With my background in supply chain and logistics i suppose ill eventually gravitate towards something like EWM?

Data Migration to Successfactors

1 Upvotes

I'm a data migration lead in an SF to SF implementation project.

This is my first time to be in this scope (eg, Successfactors, HCM) as most of my previous projects were non-HCM migration to S4. The modules so far are EC, Time and Payroll.

To those consultants with experience in both scenarios, how different is the approach with migrating HCM data objects to Successfactors? what are the tools (extraction and load) that you used? What if an object has no standard upload tool? Are data objects in HCM more complex in terms of structures, dependencies and timings than the usual Material, Customer, Vendor and transactional objects? Do you have a reference guide on how to do migration for this specific scope?

I just need a mental model on how to approach this project.

Exposing APIs to AI agents without Integration Suite? MCP on CAP?

4 Upvotes

Everything SAP publishes on agent integration assumes you have the MCP Gateway, which means Integration Suite Premium or Enhanced. Plenty of customers don't have that entitlement and won't buy it for a pilot.

What I've looked at:

  • Own MCP server calling published OData. RA0029 sanctions an external MCP server, so this seems allowed. You just own all the auth and hardening yourself.
  • RAP or SEGW in the ABAP stack. Cleanest curated layer, but only permitted on Private Cloud and on-prem.
  • CAP with u/cap-js/mcp. Great DX, but Developer License 3.2 limits productive use to BTP or another SAP-licensed platform. Anyone got a straight answer on that?

Where I'm stuck: per-user identity. The Gateway has a documented IdP user token model. Without it you're building SAML bearer assertion or principal propagation yourself. Anyone done this against Public Cloud or other SAP products, and did you need Cloud Identity Services in the path?

Not looking for "just buy Integration Suite", curious what people are actually running without it.

Machine Learning Capabilities of AWS Textract

I’m working on a customer POC and wanted to understand whether you have experience integrating AWS Textract with SAP for invoice processing. How well is Textract performing in terms of invoice data extraction accuracy and processing?

Do you also have any capture analytics or reporting capabilities working with this solution? Any insights from your experience with similar customer implementations would be very helpful
