Clean Core – Released API Alternative for Table TMP_SPEC

[sunil_hosur]

Dear Experts,

We are currently working on Clean Core / ABAP Cloud compliance in our S/4HANA 2023 On-Premise system and are addressing findings from ATC (ABAP Test Cockpit) checks.

Background

During our analysis, we identified usage of the following standard table:

• Table: TMP_SPEC
• Application Component: MM-SRV (External Services Management)

This table is currently accessed directly in our custom code.

Business Requirement

We use table TMP_SPEC to:

• Read model (template) service specifications
• Retrieve service specification data required for maintenance planning and service processing

Current Challenge

• Direct table access is flagged as non-compliant under Clean Core guidelines
• We were unable to find:
  • Any released CDS View
  • Any released API / function module

that provides equivalent functionality for accessing template service specifications

Request

We would like to request clarification on the following:

1. Released API Availability
   Is there any released API / CDS View / RAP BO available as an alternative to:
   • Read model/template service specifications
   • Access service specification data in a Clean Core-compliant way
2. Recommended Approach
   What is the SAP-recommended Clean Core compliant approach to:
   • Work with service specification templates
   • Avoid direct access to table TMP_SPEC
3. Future Roadmap
   Are there any plans to:
   • Release an API or CDS view for this functionality
   • Provide a successor object for TMP_SPEC

System Details

• Product: S/4HANA 2023 On-Premise
• Context: Clean Core transformation and ATC compliance

Objective

Our goal is to:

• Eliminate direct table access (TMP_SPEC)
• Use only released and upgrade-safe APIs
• Ensure compliance with Clean Core principles

We appreciate your support in confirming whether a compliant alternative exists or if an Influence Request should be raised.
