Many businesses are indeed in the process of upgrading their SAP ERP systems, transitioning from ECC to S/4HANA. Throughout this migration, they encounter several formidable challenges. Data migration poses a significant hurdle, necessitating a meticulous transfer of vast amounts of information while ensuring its accuracy and integrity. Infrastructure transformation is another critical concern, demanding hardware and software upgrades to support the new system's requirements adequately. Simultaneously, aligning existing business processes with S/4HANA's capabilities becomes a complex task, requiring comprehensive restructuring and adaptation. However, among these challenges, managing custom code emerges as the foremost obstacle.

Unlike other aspects where solutions seem more apparent, custom code management demands a more strategic approach. To tackle this challenge effectively, creating a pragmatic plan is essential.
