AI-generated code looks great on day one. Six months later? You’re drowning in thousands of lines of JavaScript nobody understands.
There’s a better way. Let me show you how we’re using AI WITHOUT the maintenance nightmare.
The problem with “vibe-coding”:
Auto-generated code = black box
Changes break everything
Good luck finding someone to maintain it
Security audits are a nightmare
We needed AI’s speed without the technical debt.
Our approach: Generate SPECIFICATIONS, not code.
AI creates structured specs → Standards-compliant runtime interprets them → ABAP developers stay in control
No JavaScript sprawl. No maintenance hell.
The architecture has 3 pillars:
1️⃣ Builder: ABAP devs configure (CDS Views, annotations, logic)
2️⃣ Viewer: Interprets annotations, renders Fiori UI
3️⃣ Data Layer: CDS Views with proper optimization
Everything stays in ABAP territory.
How it works:
User: “I need a dashboard for overdue POs with approvals”
AI (powered by RAG + Knowledge Graph): → Analyzes SAP landscape → Triggers MCP tools → Creates technical spec → Generates CDS + annotations
Time: Minutes, not weeks.
MCP Tools do the heavy lifting:
- Package Tool → finds right ABAP package
- Data Source Tool → identifies CDS Views
- Field Retrieval → selects data elements
- Floorplan Tool → recommends Fiori layout
- KPI Selection → determines metrics
- Action Button → maps to ABAP logic
The Viewer doesn’t generate custom SAPUI5 code.
It reads annotations and renders a Fiori-compliant interface on the fly.
✓ Every SAP guideline followed
✓ Zero custom frontend code to maintain
✓ Automatic compliance
All business logic stays where it belongs: ABAP Runtime
- Validations? ABAP
- Determinations? ABAP
- Action handlers? ABAP classes/FMs
No context switching. No learning JavaScript against your will.
The results speak for themselves:
⏱️ Time to Production: Weeks → Hours
📝 Lines to Maintain: Thousands → Hundreds
🔄 Context Switching: High → Minimal
✅ SAP Compliance: Variable → Consistent
🔧 Maintainability: Uncertain → Predictable
This isn’t about replacing developers.
It’s about removing the grunt work:
- No more boilerplate
- No more repetitive patterns
- No more “we’ve built this 17 times before”
Focus on what matters: solving business problems.
SAP has been positioning ABAP developers at the center of S/4HANA innovation.
We’re amplifying that vision.
ABAP developers who master this approach don’t just survive the AI revolution—they lead it.
The future isn’t about coding faster.
It’s about building smarter.
AI generates structured specs. ABAP developers control the outcome. Users get production-ready apps in hours.
That’s the new paradigm.
Stop generating code. Generate specifications instead.
AI (RAG+MCP) creates specs → Viewer renders Fiori UI → ABAP handles logic.
Result: Production apps in hours, not weeks. Zero JavaScript maintenance. ABAP devs stay in control.
The future of SAP development.
