Are you tired of 100+ pages of ABAP guideline documents repeating same old adage? Say no more, fam! I present to you...
Jelena's Nice and Simple Corporate ABAP Guideline Template
- Introduction (1-2 pages). Outline your company’s strategy, principles, what your guidelines are meant to achieve and how they add value.
- Naming conventions. Note any peculiarities (for example, some companies use special IDs in the package or object names). If this section takes more than 2 pages then you are doing it wrong.
- References (links) to Community guidelines and a reminder to RTFM (1 page)
- Developer tools. Do not copy from SAP Help, only note anything specific to how your organization uses them and if any third-party tools are also in place. 1-2 pages
- Any requirements specific to your organization. This can include regulatory compliance, accessibility requirements, and such. Up to 3 pages.
Total number of pages while using this template shall not exceed 10.
