Question 1
A global logistics company is modernizing its SAP ECC landscape by migrating to SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition. The CIO has mandated a strict 'Clean Core' strategy to ensure simplified future upgrades and reduce TCO. A critical business process involves a highly customized ABAP-based module for freight calculation, which is too complex for key-user extensibility. Additionally, they need a new tablet-based application for warehouse staff to confirm goods receipt, which must integrate in real-time with the S/4HANA inventory data. As the solution architect, which combination of SAP BTP services provides the most compliant and sustainable architecture?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
This is the optimal solution. Hosting the complex ABAP logic in the SAP BTP, ABAP Environment is the prime example of side-by-side extensibility, which fully adheres to the Clean Core strategy. It decouples the custom code from the S/4HANA core. SAP Build Apps is ideal for rapidly developing the tablet application, and using SAP Integration Suite provides a secure, managed, and decoupled integration layer to the backend, which is a best practice.
