Discover
Normalize available information about custom SAP objects into a searchable catalog rather than leaving teams to work from disconnected spreadsheets and individual knowledge.
- custom reports
- interfaces
- conversions
- enhancements
- forms
- workflows
- user exits
- BADIs
- custom classes
- custom function modules
- custom transactions
- background programs
- custom tables
- custom APIs
- other customer-developed objects
Output: Custom Development Catalog
Understand
A program name alone rarely tells an S/4HANA team enough. Custom Code Intelligence should help identify likely functional domains, related process steps, impacted applications, dependencies and relevant business context.
- Order-to-Cash
- Procure-to-Pay
- Record-to-Report
- Plan-to-Produce
- Hire-to-Retire
- Asset Management
- Supply Chain
- Warehouse Management
- Finance
- Sales
- Procurement
- Human Resources

Document
Where reliable source information is available, AI-assisted analysis can help create a first-draft explanation of custom development. Each generated object record should be capable of containing purpose, functional summary, technical summary, inputs, outputs, key logic, tables accessed, interfaces, dependencies, enhancement points, authorization considerations, batch dependencies, error handling, potential business owner, related processes and migration considerations.
Output: AI-Assisted Functional and Technical Documentation
Generated documentation should be validated against source code, system behavior and qualified business or technical review before being treated as authoritative.
Connect
Retirement decisions require more than understanding an object's primary purpose. The analysis model should support relationships between programs, transactions, tables, classes, function modules, interfaces, batch jobs, enhancements, APIs, business processes, downstream systems and upstream systems.
Output: Technical Dependency Map
Decide
The platform should support a structured assessment of future-state treatment using Safe Space Labs categories: RETIRE, STANDARDIZE, CONFIGURE, EXTEND, MODERNIZE and INVESTIGATE when evidence is insufficient for a defensible decision.
Output: Clean-Core Decision Record
Prioritize
Create an analytical model capable of considering usage frequency, business criticality, technical complexity, change frequency, dependency count, support effort, upgrade impact, security considerations, data sensitivity, availability of alternatives and migration complexity. When usage data is unavailable, clearly show: Usage data not provided.
Output: Custom Code Modernization Scorecard
Execute
Analysis becomes valuable when a program team can turn it into work. Allow conceptual grouping by retire, replace with standard, configuration change, in-app extension, developer extensibility, BTP side-by-side extension, integration redesign, ABAP modernization and further assessment activities.
