Exam C_ABAPD_2309 Topic 1 Question 69 Discussion

SAP recommends that you eliminate the following types of legacy code when you review modifications as part of an SAP S/4HANA system conversion:
Code that now is identical to a standard SAP object. This type of code is redundant and unnecessary, as it does not provide any additional functionality or customization. It can also cause conflicts or errors during the system conversion, as the standard SAP object may have changed or been replaced in SAP S/4HANA. Therefore, you should delete this type of code and use the standard SAP object instead.
Code that can be redesigned as a key user extension. This type of code is usually related to UI or business logic adaptations that can be achieved using the in-app tools provided by SAP S/4HANA. By redesigning this type of code as a key user extension, you can simplify and standardize your code base, reduce maintenance efforts, and avoid compatibility issues during the system conversion. Therefore, you should migrate this type of code to the key user extensibility framework and delete the original code.
The other types of legacy code are not recommended to be eliminated, as they may still be relevant or necessary for your business processes. However, you should still review and adjust them according to the SAP S/4HANA simplification items and best practices. These types of code are:
Code that supports a critical business process. This type of code is essential for your business operations and cannot be easily replaced or removed. However, you should check if this type of code is compatible with SAP S/4HANA, and if not, you should adapt it accordingly. You should also consider if this type of code can be optimized or enhanced using the new features and capabilities of SAP S/4HANA.
Code that has less than 10% usage according to usage statistics. This type of code is rarely used and may not be worth maintaining or converting. However, you should not delete this type of code without verifying its relevance and impact on your business processes. You should also consider if this type of code can be replaced or consolidated with other code that has higher usage or better performance.
