What this profile brings to your project
ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming) is the proprietary language SAP gets programmed in: reports, interfaces, conversions, enhancements and forms, the RICEF set, on ECC or S/4HANA. An ABAP Developer builds and maintains those solutions, today also on BTP and Fiori.
Their boundary: whoever configures a module (FI, CO, MM, SD) without writing code does functional consulting; whoever programs ABAP is this role, even when their development serves a module.

Why work with Shakers
The advantages of adding this profile with Shakers
The language measured in the market
The specialist joins knowing which version you hold (ECC or S/4HANA) and which legacy development lost its owner: diagnosis before code.
Certified in their language
Tests on real SAP projects: RICEF programmes in production and ECC to S/4HANA migrations that survive the close. What gets certified is what they master.
Integrations that do not break the core
IDoc, BAPI and SAP PI/PO connected by API with your systems: the interface that fails every month stops being anybody's problem.
Migration to S/4HANA, not a leap blindfolded
The development inventory gets planned before migrating: what survives, what gets rewritten on BTP or Fiori and what gets retired.
Continuity, not an orphan system
If the specialist moves on, the code is not left alone: the scope stays documented and another certified developer picks it up.
Capacity without growing headcount
An ABAP Developer by project, no hiring process: certified talent that joins on top of your system and your repository.
What does an ABAP Developer do on a real project?
Custom RICEF developments (reports, interfaces, conversions, enhancements, forms), integrations with IDoc and BAPI and evolutionary maintenance of the SAP in production. Their product is the code that holds the system.
What is ABAP and why is it key in SAP?
It is the proprietary language SAP gets programmed in, from ECC to S/4HANA: almost everything your SAP does custom was written by someone in ABAP. Without that command there is no customisation possible.
Do I need an SAP functional consultant or an ABAP Developer?
The rule is the code: whoever programs ABAP or RICEF is the technical profile, even when the development serves FI, MM or SD; whoever configures the module without code is functional consulting. If you ask for developments, this role.
What happens to my ABAP developments when we migrate to S/4HANA?
The migration sorts them: what survives untouched, what gets adapted and what gets rewritten on BTP or Fiori. Planning that inventory before migrating avoids surprises in the core.
How much does a project with an ABAP Developer cost?
The mechanism sets it: module, ECC versus S/4HANA, how much is custom, whether migration and maintenance come in and the seniority of the profile. The budget closes per engagement before kickoff.
How do I check the profile really masters ABAP?
With tests on real code: RICEF programmes in production, ECC to S/4HANA migrations and live BTP or Fiori. A proprietary language is not assessed with a CV, it gets assessed with what runs.
What gets delivered in the first weeks
The diagnosis of what runs: which version holds your SAP (ECC or S/4HANA), which legacy development hangs on someone who is no longer there and which integration breaks. The first deliverable prioritises what hurts.
A market that titles the role with the language
543 active tech job ads in Spain mention ABAP (Shakers market analysis, n=31,557, September 2026), with literal titles: IT24 Senior ABAP Developer at Airbus, Analista Programador SAP ABAP S/4 HANA at Aubay, SAP Developer (ABAP) at Hays. The language is the role.
ECC to S/4HANA: what survives of the code
The migration decides the fate of every development: what survives, what gets rewritten on BTP or Fiori and what gets retired. Planning it before migrating is cheaper than improvising afterwards.
Functional consultant or ABAP Developer
The rule is the code: whoever programs ABAP or RICEF is this profile, even when the development serves finance or logistics; whoever configures a module without code is functional consulting. Many projects need both; this row introduces the one who programs.

SAP FI/CO Consultant
The functional face of financial SAP: they configure FI and CO without writing code. If your engagement is configuration and not development, the project goes through their row.
Dynamics 365 Developer
The neighbouring ERP of the ecosystem: if the system that rules is Dynamics and not SAP, whoever programs AL or X++ is the row. The platform decision comes first.
ServiceNow Developer
When the platform the project asks for is ITSM and not ERP: ServiceNow is their ecosystem and their language, with the same platform logic.
Backend Developer
When integration weighs more than the ERP: APIs, queues and services with no SAP in between. Generalist server logic is their territory.
