It refers to the status of an SAP ERP system and whether it is in a \"normal\" state, allowing the next SAP release to be imported without any problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SAP's standard business software is largely a semi-finished product. Through \"customizing\" by SAP partners or customers, SAP ERP becomes a tailor-made solution for a company's organizational and operational structure. From the beginning, the SAP system was designed with the SAP programming language Abap to allow for these modifications because SAP recognized early on that standards don't provide a competitive advantage with customers, only individualization does. This concept is still valid today.<\/p><div class=\"great-fullsize-content-en\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\" id=\"great-4174527716\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/e326.greatsolution.dev\/en\/media-kit\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"nl_advertising_800x100\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e326.greatsolution.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/nl_werbung_800x100.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/e326.greatsolution.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/nl_werbung_800x100.jpg 800w, https:\/\/e326.greatsolution.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/nl_werbung_800x100-400x50.jpg 400w, https:\/\/e326.greatsolution.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/nl_werbung_800x100-768x96.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e326.greatsolution.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/nl_werbung_800x100-100x13.jpg 100w, https:\/\/e326.greatsolution.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/nl_werbung_800x100-480x60.jpg 480w, https:\/\/e326.greatsolution.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/nl_werbung_800x100-640x80.jpg 640w, https:\/\/e326.greatsolution.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/nl_werbung_800x100-720x90.jpg 720w, https:\/\/e326.greatsolution.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/nl_werbung_800x100-18x2.jpg 18w, https:\/\/e326.greatsolution.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/nl_werbung_800x100-600x75.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"100\"  style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There are numerous Abap programmers and experts in the SAP community who can modify an SAP ERP system to meet users' specific requirements. Theoretically, there are no limits. Guidelines exist on how customizations can and should be made to business processes. However, sometimes users have completely converted the system\u2014Abap is quite a powerful programming language that SAP is still further developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, anyone who modifies their SAP system too much loses the aforementioned release capability. The ERP system has been modified so extensively that subsequent versions are incompatible \u2014 the customer has deviated from the ERP standard. They have crossed a line!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, it is important for the CIO to strike a balance between individual user requirements and the SAP standard. Professor Hasso Plattner and SAP experts recommend regular \"maintenance\" to keep the ERP system close to the standard so new versions can be imported without problems. This approach is currently known as SAP Clean Core.
