Hi friends.
I want to discuss about a question that I've already got an answer, but I'd like to discuss about it here in forum because I think it is a interesting subject.
It happened to me: HCM Functional said to me that he need program key in sandbox to create HCM functions and make program for himself. I asked that it wouldn't be a best-practice and he argued with me and said that other company let him to do that. He said HCM has specific things and its comon to enconde programs direct in sandbox. I havent saw it in my entire career of SAP ABAP and I accepted it because he "knows" as a experience of him. I let him to do that.
After that, I made myself a question to another HCM consultant with more experience from other project that said to me that the other HCM consuktant was very wrong. He said ABAP is ABAP and Functional are functionals, and functional must ask to ABAPERs to do codification in ABAP mandant.
I want to discuss here what are the problems when it goes the way of first functional, like explained above. If the objects created have transport problem ? and other kind of problems that I haven't idea for now ?
I think there is a bit chance of it work fine when transporting, but I remember about best practices that proigrams are always created only in ABAP mandant.
Now I know that correct is always ABAPs create programs in ABAP mandant. But, it happened to me one time and it also can happen with others. I think.
thanks.
