Field notes from active consulting and product projects.
SAP Web Analytics was retired in 2022 and no successor followed. How to add Matomo through an FLP shell plugin while leaving your existing applications untouched.
Without principal propagation, every user sees the data of a single technical account. How identity handover works from BTP into S/4HANA, what you need to configure, and when a different method is the better fit.
At Sapphire 2026 SAP unveiled the Autonomous Enterprise: AI agents that carry out tasks in the SAP system on their own. This post explains in plain terms how it is built, what the switch requires and what it costs, and where the ORAI Agent is the more practical alternative for older systems.
SAP deprecated SAP Build Apps on 23 March 2026 with no lead time. The date to plan around is 30 September 2026, when the service drops off the Eligible Cloud Services list. What SAP offers, what needs rebuilding, and where each app belongs.
Your processes are running. But can you see how they are running? SAP Build Process Automation already ships with the tool for exactly this transparency: visibility scenarios, a configurable real-time dashboard right inside the platform. No extra tool, no separate license.
The Forms Builder in SAP Build Process Automation covers simple forms well, including tables and value helps. What it cannot do is react. SAPUI5 tasks close exactly this gap: you build the interface as your own UI5 app and import it into your process as a form. No additional product required.
The ORAI Agent SAP catalog now covers 120 functions across 12 SAP standard APIs: order-to-cash and procure-to-pay end to end, plus material master, stock, and business partners. All via standard OData, no ABAP, with your users' real permissions. And the number keeps growing.
77% of SAP companies already use AI, but only 3% of it runs on SAP. The rest runs past their own SAP data with ChatGPT and Copilot. This article shows what Joule can really do today, where it breaks down, and how a third-party agent like the ORAI Agent gets your AI to your SAP data in weeks, not months: through standard APIs, with real user permissions, on-premises if you need it.
For over two decades, custom ABAP has kept SAP landscapes running. Today, that same Z-code legacy stands in the way of cloud transformation. How to decommission the right Z-programs, which ones to modernize, and why CAP applications are the way to meet new requirements.
Why the material-creation process has become an underestimated efficiency killer in many German SAP landscapes, and why SAP Build Process Automation is the right answer to it.
Where do you post stock movements: at the shelf or later at a desk? In one warehouse, movements were noted on paper and keyed in later. We built mobile apps with SAP Build Apps that handle goods receipt, transfers, stock counts and shipping right on the handheld. With barcode scanning, offline capable and booked straight into S/4HANA.
More than 100 interfaces, three plants, live JIT supply: an automotive supplier was moving to SAP S/4HANA. The risk was not the ERP but the point-to-point integration that had grown over years. We helped turn it into one central layer on CPI. The go-live landed on schedule.
A mid-sized industrial machinery manufacturer wanted to give their sales and service teams faster access to product information. With the ORAI Agent and a simple SharePoint connection, the solution was live in just 3 weeks.
No custom ABAP, no proprietary adapters: ORAI Agent uses the standard OData interfaces SAP ships and applies your existing SAP permissions 1:1. How the connection works, what it requires, and why every query stays traceable.
For companies with strict compliance requirements: How to run the ORAI Agent entirely in your own infrastructure, from hardware to network to LLM options.
How long does a new material master take at your company? At a machinery and plant manufacturer, creation ran over emails, Excel and word of mouth, across five departments. We turned that into one workflow on SAP Build Process Automation: a single request, automatic checks including duplicate detection, clear approvals, creation via standard OData.
How do customer orders get into your SAP system? At a mid-sized manufacturer, someone typed them in by hand. We turned that into a guided process on SAP Build Process Automation: AI reads the email and PDF, a person reviews and approves, and the sales order is created through standard OData. With an audit trail and monitoring.
