SAP Cloud ALM: Interface Documentation Next Level!
In the world of modern IT landscapes, interfaces are the backbone of every system architecture. Losing track of them means losing valuable time – and nerves. But fortunately, there’s a real game-changer: SAP Cloud ALM offers a powerful feature for interface documentation that many still underestimate.
What’s in it?
The interface documentation in SAP Cloud ALM is more than just a digital notebook. It takes structure, transparency, and team alignment to a new level. Here’s an overview of the most important features:
Central Documentation
All relevant interface information (APIs, endpoints, partner systems, protocols) in one place – accessible at any time.
Live Linking
Linking interfaces with business processes, user stories, or system landscapes. This makes context visible!
Cross-Technology Focus
Whether OData, IDoc, REST, or SOAP – SAP Cloud ALM knows them all.
Status Tracking & Ownership
Who is responsible? What’s productive, what’s still under development? Everything is clearly defined – no more black boxes!
Integrated Collaboration
Comments, change history, automatic logs – the perfect foundation for DevOps and agile teams.
Why all this?
In complex transformation projects (S/4HANA, cloud integration, API-first strategies), clarity is worth its weight in gold. Well-maintained interface documentation isn’t a “nice to have,” but a true business enabler. It helps:
Find errors faster
Simplify onboarding
Ensure compliance
Accelerate innovation
Conclusion: More than just documentation – a true management tool!
SAP Cloud ALM brings a breath of fresh air to interface documentation – intuitive, connected, and future-oriented. Investing early here will save you a lot of effort later. So: Get out of the Excel spreadsheets and into the cloud!
And here’s the whole thing from practice for practical use:
The starting point is the “Libraries” app. You can display it via the Fiori catalog if you can’t see the app.
Each interface can be assigned helpful attributes such as:

A bulk upload from an Excel list is also possible.
Linking interfaces to other elements, such as test cases, is very valuable.
