S4D401 Intermediate ABAP Programming

S4D401 Intermediate ABAP Programming develops practical capability to analyze, refactor, test, secure, and optimize intermediate ABAP programs for SAP S/4HANA. The four-lesson path connects foundational concepts, applied workflows, configuration or administration, validation, and accountable improvement.

Applied work uses an ABAP development team improving maintainability, testability, SQL efficiency, authorization handling, and runtime performance in an existing codebase. Learners produce intermediate ABAP development foundation map, intermediate ABAP development configuration workbook, intermediate ABAP development processing and exception evidence pack, and intermediate ABAP development validation and handover plan, while testing realistic process, data, integration, authorization, and operational exceptions.

By completion, participants can perform intermediate ABAP development workflows, interpret SAP behavior, evaluate evidence, resolve exceptions, communicate supported conclusions, and hand over prioritized actions with clear ownership and follow-up.

What You Will Learn

• Explain Code Analysis and connect the concept to dependable business decisions.
• Configure ABAP Test Cockpit so SAP rules support controlled, repeatable intermediate ABAP development outcomes.
• Execute Object-Oriented ABAP while capturing documents, statuses, messages, and accountable evidence.
• Validate Interfaces against expected business results, integration dependencies, and access controls.
• Analyze Advanced Data Handling to find where observed system behavior first diverges from design.
• Resolve Internal Tables issues through objective evidence, proportionate correction, and documented retesting.
• Interpret ABAP Unit indicators to prioritize improvements and communicate supported operational conclusions.
• Prepare Performance Analysis handover records for intermediate ABAP development, with ownership, review triggers, and measurable follow-up.
