Course Overview

What is SAP ABAP Development?

SAP ABAP is the primary programming language for customizing and extending SAP systems. This program takes you from ABAP fundamentals through reports, enhancements, and the modern ABAP stack — OData and RAP — used for building Fiori-based apps on S/4HANA.

Every SAP system, no matter how well the standard functionality fits a business, eventually needs customization — a report finance wants that doesn't exist out of the box, a validation rule specific to how the company operates, an integration with an external system. ABAP is the language that makes all of that possible, which is why ABAP developers remain in steady demand across every industry that runs SAP.

The SAP development world has also been shifting toward Fiori apps, cloud extensibility, and RESTful services — meaning modern ABAP developers need more than classical report-writing skills; they need to understand OData services and the RAP model that power today's SAP user interfaces. This program covers both the classical foundations you'll still encounter in existing systems and the modern stack you'll need for new development.

  • ABAP fundamentals & data dictionary
  • Internal tables & data processing
  • Reports — classical, interactive & ALV

FAQ

SAP ABAP Development — your questions

Basic programming logic (loops, conditionals, variables) helps you move faster, but we start from ABAP fundamentals, so this is accessible to beginners with genuine interest in development.

Both. We start with classical ABAP (still widely used in existing SAP systems) and then move into the modern stack — OOP ABAP, OData, and RAP — which is what's used for building new Fiori apps on S/4HANA.

ABAP is purpose-built to work inside the SAP application layer, directly against SAP's data structures and business logic, whereas Java is general-purpose. The syntax and paradigms differ, but core programming logic transfers.

SAP ABAP Developer, SAP Technical Consultant, and SAP Fiori/UI5 Developer (with further specialization) are the typical paths after this program.
