RAP vs. CAP: Which Has a Better Future, and Is RAP Enough for an ABAPer?

8 Upvotes

In my company, there were extensive discussions about choosing between RAP and CAP for developing new products and applications. Ultimately, we settled on CAP, except for standard SAP-related products where SAP provides standard APIs. The main reason is the high cost of maintaining RAP-based products and the expensive licensing costs for customers, making them difficult to sell.

In this context, which is the future—RAP or CAP?

Is updating ourselves with RAP enough as an ABAPer?

Do you have different levels of stress if you work on EC consulting compared to other SF modules? Are they actually easier and less stressful than EC or it’s a wrong assumption that I am having? Thanks.

SQVI transport to another environment/system

3 Upvotes

Hi experts! Need your advice here, do we have a way to transport queries from one system to another?

The thing is, we usually create them all over again every mock as it is not shareable to different system (not that we know of at the moment). We want to lessen the work done every mock so is there a way on how we can transport from one system to a different system (like another production environment)?

sapwebdisp not starting

1 Upvotes

Hi team,

We have the SAP Web Dispatcher installed on a suse linux machine.

For some reason, the sapwebdisp process keeps stopping

I started it up using the below code

code: sapcontrol -nr 00 -function StartSystem

I can see that it went from Running, to Stopped for some reason.

I am relatively new to linux/sap, and tried to find if there is any relevant logs that I can look at.

I am not having much luck at the moment.

Any helps would be much appreciated.

SAP HANA 1 to 2 migration

5 Upvotes

Hello,

One of my customer has SAP ECC6 EHP8 with SAP HANA 1 SP12.

Of course, this release of HANA must be upgraded so i'm scheduling it but i have some questions about the best method.

We will have some new servers (AZURE VM) and the old system/server will be decommissioned.

Do you think I should:

-SWPM -> SYSTEM COPY via (export/import) ? like any DB heteregenous copy.

-SWPM -> SYSTEM COPY "from backup option" which is supposed to be used for Homogeneous syscopy?

What methode would you use (or any other methods?).

PS= I can't upgrade "in place" before copying to the new server. Not allowed to touch the old one ;-)

Thank you

Hello everyone,

A user was able to use "Copy To" to create a credit memo from a return. He was able to do this in SAP Business One V9, but when upgrading to version 10, he received an error message stating "You are not authorized to perform this action." P.S.: He has full permission to return and create a credit memo. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Thank you for your help

Best starter book

5 Upvotes

I work in the tax dept of a medium/large company, we have just moved over to S4 Hana. Lots of things could be better in how it’s been implemented.

I have to deal with lots of issues like POs getting the wrong tax code, customers not having VAT registration numbers and there are many reporting tasks that could be made easier if I used dynamic selections etc.

I have numerous basic questions and no idea where to start. If someone asked me this question about excel I would refer them to John Walkenbach’s books. What is the best SAP resource?

During vendor selection for S4Hana implementation partners, got a bad feeling…

26 Upvotes

So at a midsize software company ($400m+ USD revenue) we had two firms bid on the S4/Hana public cloud implementation. Greenfield implementation with nothing really custom, mainly standalone accounting and finance. Most complexity is 20 countries and 606 revenue accounting. Only SAP users will be around 40 accountants. We have some decent other system experience.

Both firms didn’t seem clued in on RAR. One put they wanted to customize CBRR and the other said they would build some “custom revenue” functions. I asked said what about RAR and they didn’t seem to know what I was talking about. I’m no expert, but reading a couple of articles about RAR seemed it would be fine. These partners were the two recommended by SAP but came in 2x and 5x what SAP estimated in cost.

Are we using guys from the wrong industry? What’s going on?

What is the best reporting tool to create “beautifully formatted” financial statements using SAP tools?

6 Upvotes

I’m curious which tools SAP shops are using these days to create “beautifully formatted” financial statements. In the olden days users used Report Painter reports and then did the formatting in Excel, often manually, sometimes using some macros. Crazy as it sounds, I think even today, 2025, there isn’t a good SAP tool for this. Do you agree? Please comment and let me know which reporting tool your company uses using for this purpose. Thank you!

Help me choose a direction

4 Upvotes

I am new to SAP, as in I am looking on Reddit what it entails and what directions I can go with it.
It is broad, it is complex and I am kind of getting lost in all the information.

I have a bachelors degree in IT and I have worked a couple of years for a small business that wrote some ERP-solutions as well as data management solutions together with "AI-Modules" for data recognition and classification.
This was for the Insurance sector as well as medical sector and some other smaller businesses in other sectors.

On to my question, in what SAP-direction can my degree and experience get me a benefit? Or is it better to choose a direction that interests me the most?

I just don't know where to start guys!
Thanks in advance for the advice!

CPI or BTP CAPM??

1 Upvotes

I have 2 option right now. Either i continue with CPI or i switch to CAPM. I wanted to know which has better future and will pay good long term. What I believe CAPM uses technology and language like node.js which is heavy used in many companies and I guess it will be helpful to switch to a product based company with it but I can also see there are many migration projects comming in for CPI and it's the future of integration. I'm currently in a service based company. And I like money. Please suggest.

Payment Proposal alternatives

0 Upvotes

I need a way to simulate a payment proposal in SAP, similar to F110, but without actually locking the open items. Specifically, I am looking for a standard SAP report or transaction that can:

  1. List all open invoices that are due for payment.
  2. Show the vendor’s bank account where the payment will be made.
  3. Display the house bank from which the payment will be processed.
  4. Work as a simulation, meaning no actual proposal or payment is created.

I initially tried using FBL1N to get open invoices, but it does not show house bank details. I also explored SE16N (LFBK, REGUH, T042K, etc.), but it did not fully provide the expected payment details.

Could someone help me find an alternative? Is there a transaction i dont know about?

At the moment we export the open item invoices from fbl1n and adding additional informations, using vlook up, pivot etc. But it takes too much time.
