I used to think the Simplification Database was just a static reference — until I realized it’s the backbone of smart custom code migration. This post explains how I leveraged it to guide our ABAP remediation process.
Subtopics & Answers:
What is the Simplification Database and how it’s structured It contains metadata about changed SAP objects, linked SAP Notes, and migration guidance.
How to download and install it properly I followed SAP Note 2241080 and used the standard upload programs in NetWeaver 7.5.
Using the database to identify impacted custom code We mapped our Z-objects against simplified objects and flagged those using deprecated tables like VBFA and KONV.
Navigating SAP Notes for technical guidance Each flagged object linked to a note explaining what changed and how to adapt our code.
Integrating UPL and where-used lists for deeper analysis Usage data helped us ignore unused code and focus on what really mattered.
My advice for teams new to the Simplification Database Don’t treat it as optional — it’s your best friend during S/4HANA prep.
