SAP SEGW vs RAP vs CAP: Making the most of Function Imports, Actions and Functions (Part 2)

After working on several SAP projects, I have noticed a common trend consisting in a plethora of SEGW projects full of function imports that are generally misused or unnecessary. With my experience—and after delving into the SAP documentation—I have decided to write this blog to shed some light on function imports. I will explain what they are, what they are used for, when to use them and when to avoid using them, and will do so not only for SAP SEGW projects, but also for their equivalents within the more recent SAP RAP and CAP frameworks—since I am actively diving into these modern development approaches and working on business projects that leverage them. To make this more concrete, I’ll walk through a practical example, which I’ve made available on GitHub.
