Which benefits of SAP does your group like and need the most? Having
several years of SAP configuration experience in a variety of circumstances
I would suggest getting a very clear picture of what SAP does out of the box
and ask hard why you need to do things differently. Then the flavor may not
seem like vanilla - it might seem more like 31 flavors. They have imbedded
leading practices from the world's best companies into the logic. The
software itself is extremely adaptable through configuration and new
industry solutions are being invented just about monthly to meet those
legally required or highly customized needs.
My guess is that you will not be altering the code itself or SAP will not be
capable of remotely supporting you through the standard maintenance
agreement. The code is complex enough with SAP approved hot packs to the
various version in use. However, there are countless user exits that
companies may customize to embed their logic.
