SDM uses only standard SAP components. BRFplus for rules, Standard Workflow for routing, configuration tables for controls. Your team maintains the system, not custom code.
All governance rules are defined in BRFplus, the same tool your team already uses for standard SAP business logic. No custom rule engine to learn or license.
ZEN creation workflows and exception escalation use SAP Standard Workflow. No custom workflow framework, standard monitoring, standard troubleshooting.
Field ownership, screen controls (grey out, hide, highlight), and steward assignments are all maintained in configuration tables. Business teams can update controls without ABAP changes.
SDM is deployed and maintained via standard SAP transport requests — DEV → QA → PROD. Your existing change management process applies. No special deployment tooling.
The concern with third-party SAP tools is always the same: what happens when the vendor isn’t available, or the custom code breaks in an upgrade? SDM is designed so your team can read it, debug it, and maintain it independently.
We’re happy to have a developer-to-developer conversation – walk through the Configuration, the BRFplus setup, and the upgrade path before any formal engagement.
