Course Summary

In the age of cloud ERP, it’s much easier to extend SAP S/4HANA than it was in previous ERP systems. Traditional extensions were often tightly interwoven with the core ERP and made it hard for SAP and its ecosystem to innovate at speed. But now, thanks to SAP S/4HANA and SAP Cloud Platform, the SAP ecosystem can easily build and maintain value-adding ERP extensions.

In this course, we’ll cover the full cycle of building, testing, and delivering an exemplary high-quality SAP S/4HANA extension to help manage business partners. Using the SAP S/4HANA Cloud SDK, we’ll show you how to:

  • Kick-start a basic application based on project templates
  • Introduce functionality that seamlessly integrates SAP S/4HANA
  • Add qualities that make our extension ready for the cloud
  • Ensure a quick innovation cycle and unparalleled quality by leveraging a fully automated continuous delivery pipeline
  • Add advanced capabilities using SAP S/4HANA business events and SAP Leonardo machine learning.

Enroll now and kick-start your journey as a developer of game-changing, cloud-native SAP S/4HANA extensions.

Here is what some participants are saying about the course:

  • "Great content, great instructors - highly recommended course! – This is by far one of the best openSAP course that I have attended. It is especially challenging to come up with the right content, format and delivery for a subject area as technical as this, but the openSAP team has successfully done this with flying colors. Being a hands-on person, I really appreciate the numerous exercises/demos that allowed me to really experience using the S4SDK alongside all its related functionality and ecosystem." Read the original post

  • "Great overview, clear and entertaining – I think the overall course was really great because it helps to have a clear overview of the capabilities of the SDK together with S4/HANA. The exercises are well-explained, clear and comprehensive." Read the original post

  • "Highly Recommended Course!! – With the adoption of SAP S/4HANA, the side-by-side extensions are going to become very common, given the popularity of multiple cloud applications in the enterprise marketplace… thanks for designing a high-impact courseware, that is not only relevant, but also fundamentally important. Moreover the wide span of topics such as - Automated Testing, DevOps, etc. were very useful!" Read the original post

  • "Lots of great content and the value of real working examples cannot be overestimated. They really help to close the gap between concept and implementation." Read the original post
