If you screw up your system, SAP will charge $$$$$$$$$$$$ to fix it. However, copying SAP objects and modifying those is even worse - and if it goes wrong will have the same consequence.

Every client I've worked for as some modification to standard SAP objects. It needs to be done carefully, by someone who knows what they are doing. Each request must be heavily challenged, and if you can find a workaround that doesn't require modification - use it. Modifications are expensive and carry risk.

Hi,

-> SAP can't support the modified standard programs, in other words with draws the supporting of the modified programs

-> Customer need to be cautious for future releases/upgrades on these programs.

Risk in system integrity/co-coexistence management
