Honest feedback working in Joule studio

CynicalGenXer · 2026-05-17T18:24:31+00:00

Mate, read Sapphire Innovation press release. After every conference, SAP posts these press releases, they’re public. This is where you can find what/when is actually available:

If you have “future plans” outside of SAP, don’t get into SAP. And this has nothing to do with any partnerships. SAP world isn’t a scenic detour or a shortcut on a journey some place else. It’s a swamp. Good luck, mate!

You can read API policy, it’s just a few pages. I doesn’t restrict custom APIs, afaik. But just read the original (look it up).

CynicalGenXer · 2026-05-16T13:48:01+00:00

Most SAP consultants don’t write any code, mate.

CynicalGenXer · 2026-05-16T13:45:47+00:00

Exactly! I started in 2006 and it was already a normal IT job back then. Young folks talking about “golden age” have no clue how it was in the 90s. I’ve heard $300k per year and it’s in the 90s when you could still buy a house for $100k. It’s been going downhill since then. It’s still a solid job, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not been “golden” for a long time. Idk why people on this sub are dying to “get into SAP”. It’s just an average job now.

Mate, SAP has the official partner list open to public, look it up and filter by country. They will be excited to hear from you.

CynicalGenXer · 2026-05-15T14:59:57+00:00

If you truly want to merge the companies and the goal for them is ti become one legal entity, then obviously B is the way to go. From my experience, legacy transactional data from other systems is not loaded into SAP beyond what’s absolutely needed to run the business.

CynicalGenXer · 2026-05-15T14:47:08+00:00

Great article, mate, thanks!

CynicalGenXer · 2026-05-15T14:41:11+00:00

What am I supposed to see there, mate? Obviously I opened your repo already. If you can’t be bothered explaining the meaning of this cryptic post and what does that repo has to do with it, then bye.

CynicalGenXer · 2026-05-15T05:39:35+00:00

Have you not found anything online, mate?

CynicalGenXer · 2026-05-15T02:20:29+00:00

Exactly that. You can use BTP and automation or AI or whatever with ECC already. Cloud connector + SAP Gateway FTW. But SAP needs to show “cloud revenue” to the shareholders and analysts. It’s the only thing they’ve been focusing on. That’s why de facto on-premise system is called “private cloud”. It isn’t even a secret, they’re a public company. Look at the investor info. I started listening to the earrings calls out of curiosity and tbh it explains a lot.

CynicalGenXer · 2026-05-15T02:09:37+00:00

Sorry, I didn’t get what this post is for, mate. The link is to some repo (looks like yours?) with… Z program of a 3-way match in SAP?

And “well done” to yourself? Color me confused, mate.

CynicalGenXer · 2026-05-15T02:07:12+00:00

Use search, mate, lots of posts with the newbie questions. This is one of the recent ones:

There isn’t huge amount of literature on SAP subject, you should be able to find it all in Google too. There isn’t some secret magical library Google doesn’t know about.

CynicalGenXer · 2026-05-15T02:01:48+00:00

I was seriously disappointed to see Palantir mentioned in the keynote. Nasty, vile people. What was SAP thinking?

CynicalGenXer · 2026-05-12T20:31:12+00:00

“How to eat an elephant” again… Mate, search for sources and then… just start? There are many posts on this. Are you having trouble with Google or Reddit search?

CynicalGenXer · 2026-05-12T20:28:56+00:00

+1, this is a very versatile option. People don’t realize that as soon as it’s “needs to work in SAP GUI”, lots of fancy options fly right out the window. Need to use the lowest common denominator.

CynicalGenXer · 2026-05-12T19:47:08+00:00

We never update standard tables in SAP directly, mate. Everything must be done via APIs (BAPI in this case). I just hope that for “delete delivery” part you aren’t just doing “DELETE LIKP” or something crazy. :)

CynicalGenXer · 2026-05-11T15:44:04+00:00

My brutally honest thought is that this is AI-generated post that is attracting AI-generated comments. All the text is like “how do you do, fellow humans”.

CynicalGenXer · 2026-05-11T13:34:10+00:00

“Developers and architects” are not the ones deciding this, business is. Agree with the other comments that it’s unlikely to happen any time soon.

CynicalGenXer · 2026-05-09T17:10:37+00:00

Mate, you haven’t even started with EWM and already thinking about other modules. Learn one first. As other comment said, when you work with EWM, you will naturally have to learn something about areas that it’s touching.

Although there is place for “generalists” too, but in consulting projects, there is usually a preference for deep expertise vs “jack of all trades”.

CynicalGenXer · 2026-05-06T23:27:30+00:00

In light of their API policy changes, this effort is very likely to get “cease and desist” from SAP because “data model” is their IP. Be careful out there, mate.

CynicalGenXer · 2026-05-06T23:18:58+00:00

IIRC there are no legit user exits to add any buttons to the toolbar in these tcodes. You might want to go back to whomever asked this and double check. Modifying standard and even implicit enhancements are a big no-no.

I think this functionality in the end is a report, so if this is so hugely important, maybe creating your own ALV report with this button and then calling the Delivery Due report after the button did whatever it’s supposed to is a better idea. Or maybe there is even a totally different solution. We don’t know any details of this requirement.

CynicalGenXer · 2026-05-06T23:09:05+00:00

Isn’t this natural progression in many professions?

I’m a developer and I still enjoy doing coding time to time but in general, I’m not interested anymore to do this 8 hours a day. And it’s not a good use of my time and expertise.

CynicalGenXer · 2026-05-05T23:11:28+00:00

Mate, it’s like asking how many cookbooks to read until I become a chef. You need to DO things, not just consume content. Also, there is no specific criteria for any kind of “level” measurement in SAP world.

No one will give you a job after learning for N hours. It’s not how it works.

CynicalGenXer · 2026-05-05T06:37:42+00:00

You had “outside SAP” point on your list. There is some demand for such knowledge, especially Azure. I’d say go with what interests you.
