SAP’s approach for CCM
The methodology and the underlining governance model
The way to your “Green City”
I need clear
transparency,
on my custom code in my complete
landscape.
SAP standard software enhanced by custom code
A competitive advantage…
Custom code helps you to complete your individual

business needs.
But…
Creating and managing custom code adds to your bill.

How much?
The approach

is an approach to create and
maintain value-added custom coded
extensions in SAP environment for
customer specific business processes
needs, during the whole lifecycle of all
Custom Code Objects.
Customer driven innovation
Standard versus customization
Standard Customization
• Standards & Best Practices • Customer individual requirements
• Maintenance & Operability • Completion of functionality
• Compliance & Security • Competitive advantage
• Integrity & Flexibility • Created easily
Having custom code is FINE.

Doing it RIGHT helps to minimize the incremental effort to develop and operate your code.
What is custom code?
Even more than just a modification
“To streamline business Released Interfaces

BAPI, ALE, User Exits, Customer
processes, you may need to Function, BadI, Enh. Impl.
make modifications to the
standard software. You can Frameworks
ALV, CRM, Mass change,…
enhance, modify, or reduce
the functions provided for a Unreleased Interfaces
specific environment.”* Internal function modules, Class methods, appl. spec. techniques
