What is SAP Build Code?

SAP Build Code provides an AI-enabled cloud development environment uniquely designed for developers working on SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP), SAP Fiori, mobile, and SAPUI5.

Why SAP Build Code now?

• According to IDC, only less than 20% of professional application developers’ time is spent developing applications. Most of the time is consumed by lower-value activities such as setting CI/CD, Infrastructure, testing, and Security.
• Developers spend a considerable amount of time on testing, securing, and optimising performance. Hence SAP created a turn-key solution for coding and testing integrations and application lifecycle management (ALM), bringing design-time and run-time together to the clients. In addition to leveraging on proven successes from existing developer tooling such as Business Application Studio, Fiori Elements, and Mobile Services, SAP Build Code has rich generative AI capabilities.
• SAP wants to increase the productivity of the app developments dramatically. With the help of Generative AI, SAP decided it’s important to supercharge developer productivity allowing for more time spent building and extenuating apps for enterprise systems.

Workflow Management:

• SAP Build Process Automation workflow management capabilities enable business users to digitalize workflows, orchestrate or extend structured processes tailored to business needs, and automate decision logic flexibly using business rules.
• Real-time, event-driven transparency is offered by process visibility about the entire course of actions as well as process instances.
• It also improves the flexibility of processes through workflow management capabilities by allowing process experts to discover, configure, and manage variations in processes, decision logic, and visibility dashboards with low-code/no-code approaches.
• In addition to other SAP applications such as the SAP ERP application during this era of common usage patterns for workflows across lines of business; this solution supports standard process extensions from SAP Concur, S/4HANA solutions, and other SAP Ariba solutions. A single entry point for assigned workflow items and approvals is provided by a unified launchpad and task center.

Embedded RPA Capabilities:

• SThe business users can make use of embedded AI and ML capabilities for intelligent business document processing. What is more, with this solution process experts can enjoy the benefits provided by advanced technologies like AI and machine learning to support intelligent business document processing. This way, automation of extracting data from scanned or digital documents which are time-consuming in their manual mode becomes possible through the document Information extraction feature. In addition, it automatically copies or inputs information extracted from documents into your business systems so that they are processed. SAP Build Process Automation is here for you when such volumes of business documents contain text in headers as well as in multiple line items.

SAP Build Code Components:

SAP Build - Low Code and Pro-code developments:

• Pro-code in SAP Build Code provides a robust environment for experienced developers wanting comprehensive coding capabilities, utilizing traditional programming.
• Low code allows business users with little to no programming expertise to build and configure applications visually without extensive coding knowledge.
• SAP Build seamlessly integrates low-code development models, fostering collaboration and scaling operations efficiently.
