Vijay,

The terms FRICE/RICEF are usually embedded in the project methodology.

FRICE or RICEF stands for:

- Forms: printouts usually via SmartForms or SAPScript

- Reports: any new customer specific reports. These may be multi-level and interactive

- Interfaces: connections to external systems. Can be one-way, or two-way

- Conversions: Data conversions, mainly used in the roll-out phases or master data uploads (LSMW)

- Enhancements: customer-exits, user-exits, BADIs, enhancement-spots, modifications

Although most of these do indeed require ABAP coding, a project needs to break the type of work into logical groupings. This may be useful for determining the financial implications and/or alloating work to specific teams, etc.
