In this blog post, we explore how to implement interactive ALV reports in ABAP using the  CL_SALV_TABLE class and its FACTORY method. Specifically, we focus on handling double-click event to display related or detailed data dynamically.IntroductionIn many SAP reports, users often want to see more details about a record by simply double-clicking on it. For example, when looking at a list of vendors, a user may want to quickly view all the items or company-code details related to that vendor.In this blog, I will show how to create an ALV report where a user can double-click a vendor in the main list […]

I received a requirement to merge two Smart Forms into a single output, even though they are not part of the same form. In other words, they are two separate Smart Forms, but the final printout should combine them for better user understanding.First, I created the Smart Forms in transaction SMARTFORMS as usual. I designed each form, placed all the required elements, and completed the layout according to the specifications.After finishing both Smart Forms, I wrote the logic in the corresponding program. In the program (using the appropriate transaction) T-Code SE38, I called each Smart Form by referencing its generated […]

IntroductionABAP developers have been using ALV (ABAP List Viewer) for decades to display tabular data in SAP GUI applications. With the introduction of SAP HANA and Fiori-based development, SAP delivered a new, optimized framework called ALV with IDA (Integrated Data Access).Although both approaches serve the purpose of displaying data, they work very differently under the hood and are suitable for different use cases.In this blog, I will explain the key differences between traditional ALV and ALV with IDA, how they behave on SAP HANA, and when you should choose one over the other.SAP offers two main technologies to display tabular […]

DSP nor SAC offers out-of-the-box backup and restore of the data (f.e. data-snapshots like headcount per month; or SAC planning data). Also, no backup of specific DSP objects is possible and restore is limited to only a handful of DSP objects. SAC stories have no version management implemented. Suggested workaround is either to use a 'backup' tenant or content network (export into content packages). 

IntroductionIn SAP Materials Management, the Stock or Requirements List MD04 is one of the most frequently used transactions for planners and production teams. It provides a real-time view of current stock, incoming receipts, and outgoing requirements for a material at plant level. However, in real project scenarios, users often need a simplified, customized, or report-based version of MD04 that can be enhanced further or adapted to specific business needs. During one such requirement, I worked on building a custom ABAP report that replicates the core functionality of MD04 while keeping the logic transparent and flexible. This blog explains how a custom […]

You said: IntroductionIn many SAPUI5 applications, data coming from backend services or JSON files may contain repeated or duplicate entries. When such data is displayed in dropdowns, lists, or tables, duplicates can confuse users and lead to inconsistent selections.In this blog, I will show how to load data from a JSON file into a SAPUI5 model and then remove duplicate records based on a specific field—in this case, POGroup. By filtering duplicates before binding the data to the view, we ensure that the user sees a clean and meaningful list. This approach is simple, efficient, and can be reused for any UI5 […]

Introduction:Hello Everyone!!When working on real projects, I often had to export ALV data manually every time someone needed it for an email. It was time-consuming and repetitive. So I created a small ABAP utility that automatically converts the ALV output into a TXT, CSV, or XLSX file and sends it directly by email. This makes the whole process much faster and easier for both users and developers.Manually exporting the report every time is both repetitive and error-prone.So I created a simple yet powerful ABAP program that automates this entire process.         With one execution, the program:      […]

Introduction:This blog explains the complete selection logic, Adobe Form integration, navigation handling, and PDF download mechanism, along with the key ABAP code snippets you can adapt in your own projects.In many logistics processes, users often need to review and download Adobe Forms for multiple delivery documents directly from a custom report. However, the standard functionality typically allows previewing only one form at a time, which slows down user productivity, especially during high-volume operations.Solution Overview: I developed a custom ABAP report that provides a more user-friendly and efficient way to handle Adobe Form previews and downloads for delivery header and item data.

In this blog post, we’ll explore how to implement a Hierarchical ALV using the Factory Method of the CL_SALV_HIERSEQ_TABLE class.IntroductionIn many SAP ERP scenarios, business users frequently work with data that follows a natural master–detail relationship, such as customers and their contacts, vendors and their company-code assignments, or materials and their storage locations. Presenting such related datasets in a clean and intuitive format is critical for efficient decision-making.While traditional ALV is highly effective for displaying single-level tables, it becomes less practical when dealing with multi-level or dependent datasets. For these situations, SAP provides Hierarchical ALV through the class CL_SALV_HIERSEQ_TABLE, allowing developers […]

Hello Everyone!Recently, I worked on a timestamp conversion issue related to user-specific time zones in SAP. The data stored in the SAP level was correct, but when displayed through an ABAP report, the timestamp appeared incorrect for some users.After analyzing the issue, I found that the root cause was the conversion routine defined in the domain. This routine automatically converts timestamps based on the user's logon time zone, which caused mismatches during display.In this blog, I will show how to resolve this issue by converting all timestamps to UTC before displaying them, ensuring consistent results for every user—regardless of their […]

Introduction : OpenID Connect (OIDC)Let’s kick things off by quickly understanding what OpenID Connect (OIDC) is:OpenID Connect (OIDC) is a simple and secure way for apps and websites to confirm who you are—without making you create yet another password. It’s built on top of OAuth 2.0, a widely used standard for secure access. Instead of storing passwords, OIDC lets your app rely on a trusted service (called an Authorization Server) to handle login. When you sign in, the app gets a verified “identity token” and some basic profile details, so it knows who you are.Why is this great?Safer: No password […]

如果您对BTP感兴趣，BTP个人精选内容目录 | SAP Blogs 可能有更多你需要的内容 如文章所述，Agent系统需要一些辅助组件来解决使用痛点这里介绍让Agent理解业务的辅助组件：知识图谱Knowledge Graph（简称KG） 想象一个场景：业务分析师想分析交货延期的具体原因，但看着数据库里成千上万张数据表陷入沉思；而LLM虽然可以快速过滤这数千张表，但它并不理解业务。用户问"分析交货延期原因"，AI却不知道交货延期和供应商财务状况、物料重要性、合同条款有什么关系；面对企业平均3000+张数据表，AI只能做关键词匹配，无法快速找到业务对象对应的数据位置 知识图谱就是用于解决这两个问题的，让AI更理解业务，同时还能更快的找到数据所在地 Knowledge Graph是什么？知识图谱是一种数据库，但它存储的内容是一个个不同的三元组，每个三元组由“主语-谓语-宾语”组成，比如以下的三个三元组：SAP-运营在-全球不同地区，SAP-总部在-沃尔多夫，沃尔多夫-属于地区-卡尔斯鲁厄市  Knowledge Graph如何赋能LLM成为完整的Agent系统？KG就像一个业务理解库，记录了对象的属性和不同对象间的关系，让LLM像业务专家一样理解企业知识，KG在接到搜索目标时，就可以轻松找到和目标相关的其他概念。比如说: 用户查询： "SAP在哪里？" 1.直接匹配LLM会查询KG：“SAP的总部在哪里？”，KG返回包含"SAP"的三元组：SAP-总部在-沃尔多夫 2.关联推理但LLM希望更全面的回答用户，所以可能会自行启动关联推理："沃尔多夫是哪个国家？"沃尔多夫-属于地区-卡尔斯鲁厄市卡尔斯鲁厄市-位于-德国德国-属于-欧洲 3.扩展发现： 继续找到更多相关信息SAP-运营在-全球不同地区SAP-分公司在-中国SAP-分公司在-美国中国-总部设在-上海美国-总部设在-宾夕法尼亚州最终LLM回答用户： "SAP总部位于德国沃尔多夫（属于卡尔斯鲁厄市），同时在全球多个地区运营，包括中国上海、美国宾夕法尼亚州等地都有分公司。" 关键优势： LLM不只是回答"沃尔多夫"，而是发现了地理层级关系和全球分布信息，提供了更完整的答案。 LLM+Knowledge Graph的实战效果 用户问："帮我分析最近三个月采购订单延期交货的供应商，看看哪些风险比较高"  🔴 无Knowledge Graph的流程第1步：LLM进行关键词提取LLM基于自身理解提取关键词：["采购订单", "延期交货", "供应商", "风险分析", "三个月"]❌ 每次运行可能提取不同词汇，有时遗漏"时间范围"，有时误加"库存管理"❌ 不理解"风险高"的业务含义，只能按字面意思处理 第2步：LLM试错查找数据表LLM拿着关键词开始猜测：看到"延期交货"→ 可能先查EKKO采购订单表 ❌ (有订单信息但没有实际交货时间)发现数据不全后 → 再查LIKP交货单表 ❌ (有发货信息但缺少计划时间对比)最后才找到需要EKET交货计划表的EINDT计划日期 与 MBLNR收货单的实际日期进行对比 ✅ 第3步：LLM按自己理解分析"风险"LLM收到用户问题"哪些供应商风险比较高"时，由于没有业务知识指导，只能按常识推理：LLM推理：延期次数多 = 不可靠 = 风险高所以LLM认为只要统计每个供应商的延期次数就能判断风险❌ LLM不知道在采购业务中，"供应商风险"是一个复合指标，需要综合考虑：延期影响程度（延期1天 vs 延期30天的风险完全不同）延期物料重要性（关键生产物料延期 vs 办公用品延期的风险不同）供应商财务健康度（即使不延期，财务危机的供应商风险也很高）可替代性（独家供应商即使小延期，风险也比有备选的供应商高）❌ 最终输出简陋结果："供应商A延期5次，供应商B延期3次，所以A风险更高" 第4步：返回片面结果❌ A风险高的结论不够合理❌ 无法提供改进建议 🟢 有Knowledge Graph的流程 第1步：LLM查询KG获取业务概念和关系LLM查询KG："供应商风险评估相关的实体和关系有哪些？"KG返回：- 实体：供应商、供应商风险、交货记录、财务评级、物料、合同- 关系：供应商-供应->物料、供应商-具有->财务评级✅ LLM通过KG明确了"供应商风险"不只是延期次数，而是多维度综合评估 第2步：LLM确定所需数据之后，再次查询KG获取数据位置LLM查询KG："交货记录数据存储在哪里？"KG返回数据血缘和访问路径：交货记录 –存储于–> EKET表.EINDT字段，访问路径为XX供应商信息 –存储于–> LFA1表，访问路径为XX 第3步：基于KG的业务理解和数据仓库的实时数据生成分析报告LLM获取数据后执行综合分析✅ 输出综合分析结果："供应商A综合风险85分，主要风险来源：关键物料平均延期12天(40分) + 信用评级下降至C级(25分)；建议启动备选供应商评估" 总结知识图谱（KG）作为Agent系统的辅助组件，能够让LLM理解不同业务名词之间的关系，还能直接提供数据位置，从而辅助LLM快速，准确的完成业务分析，更好的作为Agent进行工作。

Smart Tax Status Automation for Vendor Master Data (BP)

Introduction — Why 1099 Reporting Matters for SAP CustomersFor U.S. companies, complying with IRS regulations such as filing 1099-MISC, 1099-NEC, 1099-INT, 1099-K, 1099-G, and 1042-S forms is a legal necessity. These forms report payments to non-employees, interest, certain income types, and foreign-entity payments. If a business uses SAP for its core ERP functions—procurement, accounts payable, payments, vendor master data—it’s highly desirable to generate 1099 reports directly from SAP. This ensures consistency, audit trails, and compliance, avoiding manual spreadsheets or separate external solutions.With the evolution of SAP’s product line into S/4HANA, SAP has enhanced statutory reporting capabilities through the SAP Document […]

はじめに日本の消費税認識タイミングとしては、リース資産の利用を開始したタイミングでリース料全額の消費税を認識する必要があります。ただ、スコープアイテム1T6でリース管理をする際に、普通に設定してしまうと、リース料支払いのタイミングで消費税が認識される動きとなってしまいます。この税認識タイミングを調整するためのコンサルティングノートがリリースされています。https://me.sap.com/notes/3547732ただし、プライベート向けの記載となっており、パブリッククラウドの環境で実装しようとすると引っかかる部分があるため、差分についてこちらの記事に記載したいと思います。検証にあたってはこちらのヘルプ文書を参考にしました。なぜか2502版にしか記述がなく、2508版には記述がないため、そのうち見れなくなってしまう予感がします。https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_S4HANA_CLOUD/b8c08e0197454541a11f8d46ef1ab96e/58f24782ab9f45fa9b38d2f735b1bdb5.html?version=2502.500&locale=ja-JP※2025/12/10 追記2602版のヘルプには記述が追加されるとのことです！この記事は SAP Advent Calendar 2025 の12月3日分の記事として執筆していますプライベートとの差分1. 必要な条件タイプが事前定義されているノート記載の手順にはマニュアルでYM80、YM90というフロータイプと条件タイプを定義するステップがありますが、パブクラの場合はJT80、JT90という条件タイプが事前提供されており、追加設定は不要です。2. 代替統制勘定への置き換えは契約マスタ登録時にマニュアル設定する必要があるプライベートの場合、勘定シンボルのコンフィグで特殊仕訳コードを指定するか、BAdIで代入を実装することで未払金が別の統制勘定で計上されるように自動化しています。パブクラの場合、該当の SSCUI 102120 置換: 勘定シンボル のコンフィグに特殊仕訳コードの列がなく、コンフィグでの解決ができません。また、代入用のBAdIもありません。ここで詰んだ、と思ったのですが、上で紹介したヘルプ文書に記載のとおり、新規契約登録時に、転記タブの「勘定設定値」項目に、代替統制勘定の値「TX」を設定することで解決します。必要なコンフィグあくまで一例です。SSCUI 150001 勘定コード追加「支払われるリース料の合計金額（BS科目）」「支払われるリース料の合計金額の相手勘定（仕入先統制勘定）」の2勘定を追加するノートの添付ファイルを参考にした勘定テキスト案はそれぞれ「リース資産 消費税調整勘定（JP）」「未払金（RE 税調整・支払対象外）」などSSCUI 102120 置換：勘定シンボルS-CLEARINGTAX、S-TAXONROUに、「支払われるリース料の合計金額（BS科目）」の勘定コードを割り当てSSCUI 102631 代替統制勘定未払金科目に対して「支払われるリース料の合計金額の相手勘定（仕入先統制勘定）」を代替統制勘定として割当勘定IDに「TX」を設定おわりに該当ノートの冒頭に当ノートはコンサルティングノートです。 ご質問がある場合は、コンサルティングサービス (有償) をご利用ください。と記載があったので、パブクラ向けの追記や更新を期待するのは難しそうだなーと思い、備忘のために記事にしました。リース管理のスコープアイテムを利用している事例は少ないのかもしれませんが、ご参考になれば幸いです。

Sorting and aggregation are common business requirements where users want table outputs to be displayed in a sorted manner and show aggregated amounts based on specific fields, such as invoice number or document number.In an on-premise SAP system, this is straightforward — we can easily manipulate internal table data in ABAP before printing. However, in the SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud, we don’t have access to the ABAP editor to modify internal tables directly. Therefore, such requirements must be handled using form scripting languages like JavaScript or FormCalc within Adobe Forms.
