Hi Kumar S,

SAP provides us a Standardized Platform to deal with every business scenarios, but do you think every business will have the same sort of process.

Each and every business varies with type, size, focus, and  resources. So, the requirement keeps on varying around the standard application making it to customize.

So, SAP has provided every scope to facilitate its users to build its own user-friendly screen(through module pool), transactions,reports, forms (smartforms) and many others. So, customization is major part of SAP consulting to handle user satisfaction.

SAP Standards are always there but customers can't deal with the complexity of the design so SAP consultants have to satisfy them making those customize.

Wish I could make you understand something..

Thanks & Regards,

I agree. but what if we do it differently using standards,n for sure by the requirement.

I am asking if we could do that,then what are the ways I could explore.

Hi Kumar,

Custom requirement is take up only after careful consideration that SAP standard would not be suitable as per client business process, if something could be done via standard then it is done via standard only.

Can you state an example n we could help further.

name some of the reports/ bdc's or bapi's.

1] right now I am working on Service Miro automation using bapi_incominginvoice_create.

The invoice is created but the amount is adjusting in different heads(coin adjustment/cenvat clearing),but is incorrect.the problem is ,I can't change the taxcode in header data.

2]I was working on spell_amount Fm,but my requirement  is that it,while converting amount into words,it will spell currncy dynamically like incase of INR it will be rupees & Paisa,In case of USD it would be Dollar & cents likewise.

Appreciate for suggestions.

for spell amount, you need to get words and hardcode based on currency. what you can do is create your own wrapper FM and add the  values required to make the complete amount.

for the BAPI, you need to debug n see what u can do, if any enhancement can help
