Custom Code Management

Custom Code Management is the central point of access for all functions that you use to monitor and manage the complete lifecycle of custom developments from requirement to retirement. Transparency on your custom code is the basis for optimization and an efficient custom code management. You can continually optimize your custom developments, monitor the implementation and track usage and quality. Implementing custom code enables you to extend the functionality of SAP standard software and adapt it to your company-specific needs.

However, custom code does have several disadvantages. For example, custom code is costly to maintain over time and can cause performance bottlenecks. In addition, due to a lack of understanding of SAP software, companies often create custom code to fill functional gaps even though SAP already provides the desired function in the standard release. A lack of transparency also means that companies often maintain custom code long after it has become obsolete. Poor quality custom code can create countless problems in the productive environment, which drives up the cost of operations. All of these problems can be avoided by implementing sustainable and holistic custom code management processes within your organization.
