Developing Side-by-Side Extensions for SAP S/4HANA: The Clean Core Approach

The course in detail:

SAP’s clean core strategy is reshaping how organizations extend SAP S/4HANA. This one-day course walks you through the complete lifecycle of a side-by-side extension, from the clean core decision to a working, deployed application. You’ll build a CAP-based backend service, consume a released SAP S/4HANA API, and connect an SAP Fiori elements frontend to bring your business data to life. Deploy and test your extension on SAP BTP, and walk away with a practical understanding of the complete clean core extensibility workflow!

What you'll learn:

• Distinguish clean core principles from traditional in-app extensibility approaches
