ABAP Objects:

Next Generation ABAP Development

ABAP Programming in SAP NetWeaver

by Rich Heilman and Thomas Jung

by Horst Keller and Sascha Krüger

This book shows advanced ABAP programmers new concepts, technologies, techniques, and functions that have been introduced to ABAP (Release 7.0) in the last few years. Based on a single real-world example that runs throughout the book — a university upgrading from SAP R/3 4.6C to SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) — you’ll follow along with the university’s lead ABAP developer as he develops a custom course booking system. This unique approach allows readers to view the entire process of design, development, and testing — right through the eyes of a developer.

Based on ABAP Objects, this 1000+ page book describes all concepts of modern ABAP up to Release 7.0 (including a “sneak preview” of Release 7.10). Brand new topics found in the new edition include SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP, Regular Expressions, Shared Objects, classbased exception handling, assertions, Web Dynpro for ABAP, Object Services, dynamic programming, interface technologies (RFC, ICF, XML), and test tools, among others. Procedural techniques are also covered where necessary. Bonus DVD: Includes the SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s) ABAP Trial Version

Object-Oriented Programming with ABAP Objects by James Wood

Using this comprehensive book as your guide, you can make the switch to object-oriented programming effectively, while bringing your skills up-to-date. You’ll learn all essential OO concepts, and see examples from real-world projects. Object initialization, inheritance, polymorphism, exception handling, unit testing, and much more are demystified here, plus, you’ll explore enhanced techniques and tools in ABAP 7.0. The book doesn’t spend too much time teaching basic syntax, but rather concentrates on teaching object-oriented development – this is your chance to successfully explore objectoriented programming with ABAP Objects. As a bonus, at the end of each chapter, brief tutorials show you how to express your objectoriented designs using the Unified Modeling Language (UML).

Invoice Verification for SAP — 2nd Edition

Production Variance Analysis in SAP Controlling

by Stephen Birchall

by John Jordan

Invoice verification in SAP is an often misunderstood subject, despite its central role in contributing to a company’s fiscal health. Adding to the confusion is the fact that it falls between two teams — the MM team and the FI team — and each assumes that the other is responsible for the design and configuration of Invoice Verification. Although the process can be streamlined, many organizations get the design and use of invoice verification wrong, resulting in vendors not being paid and accounts being placed on stop, which prevents further Purchase Orders from being processed until the vendor has been paid.

This in-depth guide helps you analyze your company’s performance by showing you how to use production variance analysis in SAP Controlling (CO). The author helps you identify the breakdown points in your company’s performance and provides exclusive insights to better understand how these processes can be improved. Readers quickly learn how to make production processes more efficient, thereby directly and positively impacting your organization’s bottom line.
