ABAP Development Estimate

Hello,

I have user request to develop a custom ABAP program that would combine the following:

1. Credit Master Data, Limits and Exposure data from FD33.

2. VA05 Order Backlog data

3. KE30 PA Report showing sales by customer and sales area.

4. A/R data from F.21

all in a new custom program. I have quoted an estimate on the number of days it

would take to design, code and test this development but I would like some external feedback from the ABAP community on how long this development would take.

Can you provide just some rough estimates on how long it would take an ABAP developer to write a program to combine all this information in a ALV report.

The user would want to select and filter all this data by customer number and sales org,distribution channel and division.

Thanks

chris

Generally, the estimate time depends on the follwoing components -

SCREEN ELEMENTS

SELECT COMMANDS

TABLES USED

TABLES UPDATED

COMPLEXITY FOR SELECT COMMAND

NUMBER OF SCREENS

OUT TYPE (CLASSICAL/ALV)

So going though all this things I consider a 60 working hours will be a good time.

Hi Chris,

The estimate depends upon the complexcity of the issue or the design. Some companies have ABAP effort estimation tool which gives a rough figure of the total number of days required to develop a object based on the complexcity of the object.

Try to analyze and see how many database select is required, how many screens to be developed, how complex is the list output and how many test scenarios have to considered in unit testing. All these factor will contribute to determine how long it would take to develop an object. It also depends on the skill set your team has. If a person who is good in SAP SCRIPT would take less number of days to develop the script if its assigned to him. So it all depends on what kind of object you have to develop and its complexcity.

Cheers
