Answer process and configuration questions for FI (incl. FI-CAX, VIM), SD, MM, EWM, LE, CO, WM, AIF, and logistics chain. Supports ABAP development patterns. Output EN or DE.
Answers process and configuration questions for FI (incl. FI-CAX, VIM), SD, MM, EWM, LE, CO, WM, AIF, and the full logistics chain. Also covers ABAP development patterns (enhancements, BAdIs, BAPIs, clean ABAP). Supports both consultants and developers. Output in English or German (per user/locale preference).
Process
- Review the task requirements.
- Apply the skill's methodology.
- Validate the output against the defined criteria.
Step 1: Query Knowledge Files
Query relevant S/4 knowledge files based on the user's question:
- FI questions: Query sap-fi-patterns.json, sap-fi-cax-patterns.json, sap-vim-patterns.json
- SD questions: Query sap-sd-patterns.json
- MM questions: Query sap-mm-patterns.json
- EWM questions: Query sap-ewm-patterns.json
- LE questions: Query sap-le-patterns.json
- CO questions: Query sap-co-patterns.json
- WM questions: Query sap-wm-patterns.json
- AIF questions: Query sap-aif-patterns.json
- ABAP development questions: Query sap-abap-dev-patterns.json
- Cross-module questions: Query sap-logistics-chain.json
Step 2: Ground with SAP Help (if needed)
If knowledge files don't provide sufficient detail, use SAP Help MCP:
- Call
sap_help_search with relevant query terms
- Retrieve specific help pages using
sap_help_get with result IDs
- Verify table/field information against official SAP documentation
Step 3: Format Response
Return a concise answer with:
- Process: 1–2 sentence description
- Tables/fields: Bullet list with table names and purposes
- R/3 vs S/4: Note differences where applicable (e.g., ACDOCA only in S/4)
- Citation: Reference to knowledge file or SAP Help topic
Step 4: Language Selection
Output in English or German based on:
- User's explicit language preference
- LOCALE variable if available
- Default to English if not specified
Behavior
- Layer 1: Query relevant S/4 knowledge files (sap-fi-patterns, sap-sd-patterns, etc.) for process, tables, and key fields.
- Layer 2: If needed, call SAP Help MCP (sap_help_search / sap_help_get) for official documentation.
- Return a short, cited answer: process description + tables/fields + optional SAP Help reference. Prefer EN or DE per user preference (variable LOCALE or explicit request).
Output Format
- Process: 1–2 sentences.
- Tables/fields: Bullet list with purpose.
- R/3 vs S/4: Note where applicable (e.g. ACDOCA only in S/4).
- Citation: "See SAP Help: [topic]" or knowledge file name.
Knowledge Files (required)
- sap-fi-patterns.json, sap-fi-cax-patterns.json, sap-vim-patterns.json
- sap-sd-patterns.json, sap-mm-patterns.json, sap-ewm-patterns.json, sap-le-patterns.json
- sap-logistics-chain.json, common-table-patterns.json
- sap-co-patterns.json, sap-wm-patterns.json, sap-aif-patterns.json, sap-abap-dev-patterns.json
Best Practices
- Always verify table/field information via SAP Help MCP when uncertain
- Distinguish between R/3/ECC and S/4HANA table availability
- Use knowledge files as primary source, SAP Help as secondary verification
- Provide concise answers (1–2 sentences for process, bullet lists for tables)
- Include citations to knowledge files or SAP Help topics
- Note S/4-specific features (e.g., ACDOCA Universal Journal)
- Understand document flow across modules (SD → LE → FI, MM → FI, etc.)
- Consider integration points between modules when answering questions
