SAP BW Senior Developer

Gifhorn
Hüseyin B.

Last position:

SAP BW Senior Developer at Deloitte

  • Interim SAP BW Senior Consultant

  • Analysis and optimization of the analysis authorization concept

  • Analysis of the existing SAP BW authorization concept, particularly the mechanisms for assigning analysis authorizations to various organizational units.

  • Development of an enhanced concept to standardize authorization management.

  • Prototypical implementation of a solution for multidimensional authorization linking without additional CompositeProviders.

  • Use of dynamic control via Customer Exits in combination with an authorization ADSO, in which permitted combinations can be centrally maintained.

  • Application of the Cartesian product concept for precise modeling and authorization of permitted combinations from multiple analysis authorization dimensions, enabling flexible and consistent access control.

  • The new structure simplifies the management of complex authorizations, reduces redundancies, and makes extensions easier.

  • It was initially implemented as a prototype to create a well-founded basis for decisions regarding further strategic direction.

  • After successful validation and positive evaluation by the project team, the solution was further developed productively as part of a User Story and rolled out across the entire SAP BW system.

  • Virtual key figures & OLAP calculations

  • Capital Lock Up Ratio (CLR%)

  • Development and implementation of complex virtual key figures using BAdI RSROA_OLAP_BADI, including:

  • Net Service Revenue – 3 Month: Dynamic calculation of three-month totals across all periods of the selected year.

  • Capital Lock Up Ratio %: Key figure for measuring capital tied up, calculated as the ratio of NSR to the cumulative NSR three-month total from P1 to the current drilldown period; used to analyze how much capital is tied up in the company before it is converted into revenue – essential for liquidity management.

  • Implementation of a mechanism for simultaneously passing two FISCPER intervals:

  • One interval for displaying the period.

  • One interval for restricting the data.

  • Objective: Implementation of a moving average based on a dynamic drilldown period to determine capital tied up accurately for each period.

  • Account hierarchy-based key figure management

  • Development of dynamic key figure assignment based on account hierarchy nodes as an enhancement of the existing key figure management solution.

  • Implementation of BAdI RSROA_OLAP_BADI combined with an easy-to-maintain Customizing table in which the rules for key figure assignment can be defined flexibly.

  • Runtime-based mapping of approx. 135 key figures according to the individually maintained rules, without manual system changes.

  • Replacement of an earlier AMDP-based SQL logic in which every change to a node or key figure required a code adjustment, clearing the ADSO, and a time-consuming reload (approx. 2 hours).

  • The new solution enables ad hoc adjustments via SM30 maintenance – without a new transport, without data reloading, and with significantly reduced system load.

  • Significant reduction in maintenance and development effort.

  • Avoidance of long loading times and complex AMDP adjustments.

  • Increased flexibility in managing key figure assignments, effective immediately without system changes.

  • Improved performance and flexibility when analyzing reports.

  • Significant reduction in maintenance effort through dynamic control and modularization.

  • Contribution to the strategic development of the reporting and authorization system in the SAP BW environment.

  • Development of a generic ABAP framework for integrating SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) Export APIs into SAP BW/4HANA

  • Design and implementation of a reusable handler and service class architecture for the automated transfer of data from SAC into BW ADSO structures.

  • Automated push reporting with dynamic query integration (SAP BW/4HANA)

  • Design and implementation of an ABAP-based push reporting framework for automatic email notifications based on BW query results.

  • Development of a central ABAP class for generating the HTML email body, including embedded MIME images (KPI screenshot, logo, etc.) and dynamic recipient management.

  • Remote hierarchy & access concept for user-specific WBS structures (Deloitte, 2025/2026)

  • Design and implementation of a virtual SAP BW/4HANA hierarchy for user-specific control of WBS elements in complex engagement structures. The objective was to eliminate redundant leaf nodes and ensure that each user sees only their own area of responsibility – both in the F4 value help and within analytical queries.

  • For this purpose, I developed a fully dynamic hierarchy generator based on an ADSO that determines the relevant subtrees at runtime and makes them available to the system without physical hierarchy loading. The solution eliminated duplicate structure paths, drastically reduced the data volume per user, and enabled secure, high-performance navigation without visibility of other users’ project data.

  • I also analyzed system-side limitations of the SAP standard F4 hierarchy resolution and, based on this, developed an alternative input and proposal concept for users with global views (“ALL”), fulfilling both security and performance requirements.

Technological focus: BW/4HANA, virtual/remote hierarchies, ADSO design, ABAP-based runtime generation, complex F4 logic, access concepts, performance optimization of large hierarchy structures.

About the technology

What SAP BAdI does

SAP BAdI, short for Business Add-In, provides a structured way to enhance standard SAP processes without modifying the original application code. Companies use enhancement implementations to adapt purchasing, finance, logistics, sales and industry-specific workflows while keeping upgrades more manageable.

Where it is used

BAdIs appear across SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA, including classic enhancement frameworks and newer enhancement options. They can change validations, defaults, calculations, document processing and integration behavior in business processes such as order-to-cash, procure-to-pay and financial accounting.

  • Add company-specific checks to standard transactions
  • Enrich documents and master data with derived values
  • Adjust pricing, approvals and workflow decisions
  • Control data exchanged with external systems

Ecosystem and tooling

Strong SAP BAdI work combines ABAP with knowledge of the relevant SAP application component. Professionals work with the ABAP development tools, SAP GUI, Eclipse-based tooling, enhancement spots, interfaces, debugging and transport management. In S/4HANA projects, CDS views, OData services, APIs and SAP Fiori may also be part of the surrounding solution.

When companies need specialists

Freelance expertise helps when a standard SAP process must change quickly, when an upgrade exposes fragile modifications or when an internal team needs focused support for a complex enhancement. Germany-based organisations may also value professionals who can collaborate in German with business teams while coordinating remotely across locations.

  • Replace unsafe modifications with supported enhancement points
  • Review existing BAdI implementations and side effects
  • Prepare enhancements for an S/4HANA transition
  • Connect SAP logic with APIs and external applications

What strong professionals deliver

A capable specialist first identifies the correct enhancement spot and checks whether a standard configuration, released API or workflow option is more suitable. They define clear implementation boundaries, handle filters and multiple implementations carefully, and document dependencies, transports, authorisations and error handling.

How quality is assessed

Look for evidence of complete SAP change delivery, not only isolated ABAP code. A strong professional can explain the business requirement, test normal and exceptional paths, assess upgrade impact and coordinate with functional owners, integration teams and release management. Clear documentation and reproducible tests are essential for maintainable BAdI work.

Frequently asked questions

Not sure where to start with SAP BAdI? These answers cover the essentials.

SAP BAdI is used to extend standard SAP behavior at predefined enhancement points. A suitable implementation can add validations, calculations, defaults, workflow decisions or integration logic without changing the original SAP object.

SAP BAdI generally offers a more structured and upgrade-friendly enhancement approach than direct modifications. Compared with older user exits, it can support clearer interfaces, filters and multiple implementations, although the best option depends on the SAP release and the available enhancement spot.

A strong SAP BAdI specialist usually brings ABAP, debugging, testing and transport management skills. Depending on the process, useful adjacent knowledge includes SAP S/4HANA, CDS views, OData, APIs, SAP Fiori, authorisations and the relevant functional area such as finance, procurement or sales.

The right level for SAP BAdI work depends on the risk and scope of the enhancement. A focused implementation may need a specialist who can work independently within an established team, while a cross-module redesign or S/4HANA transition calls for broader knowledge of architecture, testing and upgrade impact.

SAP BAdI projects can often be delivered remotely when secure system access, clear requirements and reliable transport procedures are available. On-site workshops may still help when specialists must map complex processes with business teams, and German language skills can be useful where requirements and testing are handled locally.

SAP BAdI is appropriate when standard configuration cannot express a required rule and a documented enhancement point exists. A careful specialist should first check configuration, workflow, a released API or another standard extension option before introducing custom logic.

For SAP BAdI work, ask the professional to explain why the chosen enhancement point fits the requirement and what happens when several implementations or filters apply. Review test coverage, performance, authorisation handling, documentation, transport discipline and the expected effect of future SAP upgrades.

Before accepting an SAP BAdI assignment, a freelancer should clarify the SAP release, affected modules, system landscape, access method and transport process. The scope should also define the business rule, test data, technical documentation, collaboration language and who approves the change.

The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used SAP BAdI in their recent projects is 104 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 833 € based on an 8-hour working day.

Of the freelancers in Germany who have used SAP BAdI in their recent projects, 93% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 55% hold at least a Master's degree, and 10% hold a doctorate.

On average, freelancers in Germany who have used SAP BAdI in their recent projects have 25 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 3 years.

The most common languages among freelancers in Germany who have used SAP BAdI in their recent projects are German (100%), English (90%), and French (17%).

The most common industries among freelancers in Germany who have used SAP BAdI in their recent projects are Information Technology (90%), Professional Services (80%), and Manufacturing (76%).
