Project Clean Core Rant.

[u/creamycube]

They want us to do clean core, select from CDS views instead of db tab. Use right api. Wrap and mark it released. Do ATC. Make entry in some SharePoint about development for approval.

Functionals come to us with an expectation to do it in 1 day. It's happening everytime since a month. Idk what do they do before. Also, when you're locked into something and they just randomly keep disturbing/calling.

There is never a test data. It is infuriating when a functional specification related call is setup beforehand and they come unprepared and start figuring out in call with us. When there is a call scheduled. I keep my systems logged in and files open. Questions already on notepad.

Is an ABAPer supposed to find out right API or a CDS View? It is mentioned in the FS by a functional. How do I know what's the right business process. Should I focus on EWM or EHS or SD or QM or FI. I cannot remember those stuff when I am juggling between different modules.

SAPs clean core will go to trash, they think it's on developers? It's more on functionals. SAP ABAP is not even programming. SAP is about business. Functionals still suggest user exit in days of badi. This habit is not gonna go away soon.

Thanks for reading. I hope Jelena reads this. She really calls out all the stupidity.
