Many SAP customers are currently in the phase of migrating their SAP ERP systems to S/4HANA. For those who choose a brownfield or bluefield approach the old ERP system is converted and the customers extensions and own applications (Z* objects) become part of the new system.
Then, the process of Custom Code Adaptation kicks in where the ERP functionality is analyzed and corrected in a way that the objects run again in S/4HANA.
In case the customer wants to move functionality later to SAP BTP ABAP or the S/4HANA (public) Cloud versions it is not sufficient to make the old ERP code just S/4HANA ready. The cloud versions have a heavily restricted set of the ABAP language (so called language version 5) and furthermore access to SAP standard objects is allowed to (relatively few) released objects only. For instance, you must not use the MARA table to read materials but the I_PRODUCT CDS. This information is stored in the so called cloudification repository.
The idea is now to combine both approaches to use the custom code migration project to already include released objects because the system is changed and tested anyway.
