SAP ABAP
SAP ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming) is a high-level programming language created by SAP SE for developing business applications within the SAP ecosystem. It is primarily used to customize and extend SAP ERP systems, enabling developers to create reports, interfaces, enhancements, and forms. ABAP runs on the SAP NetWeaver Application Server and integrates tightly with SAP's database and business logic layers.
Developers should learn SAP ABAP if they work with SAP ERP systems, as it is essential for customizing SAP implementations to meet specific business requirements, such as creating custom reports, modifying standard SAP processes, or building integrations with other systems. It is particularly valuable for roles in SAP consulting, development, and maintenance, where deep knowledge of SAP's core technology is required to support enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions.
