Extensibility is a key capability of SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA. It enables customers to create a competitive advantage by customizing their business processes and allows partners to enrich core ECC or S/4HANA with tailor-made solutions
During the last decades SAP’s on-premise customers and partners have mainly used classic ABAP extensibility to extend their ERP solution. Classic extensibility allows ABAP developers to use and even to modify all SAP objects. Although, classic extensibility is very powerful and flexible, it is no longer a good option in today’s cloud world.
In-lined with cloud strategy, SAP S/4HANA provides a new upgrade-stable cloud extensibility model that clearly separates SAP code and extensions via public SAP APIs and SAP extension points.
