SAP Consultant & Developer
I've spent over a decade in SAP projects, somewhere between ABAP code and FI/MM processes that never behave like the documentation says. This is where I write about the technical problems I actually run into: job queues that choke, transactions that refuse to be automated, and integrations that almost work.

Configuration and support for financial and materials management processes: from design to day-to-day production support.
Background jobs, interfaces, and integrations that cut manual work without lighting a different fire every month.
An invoice verification automation that runs flawlessly all month and fails right on the first days of the next one. The problem isn't in MM or FI alone — it's at the boundary between the two.
CALL TRANSACTION works perfectly in testing and fails in background for specific transactions. The cause usually lies in how the transaction reacts to SY-BATCH and SY-BINPT.
A very common pattern in SAP batch processes: launching one job per document instead of grouping the work. Why it overloads the queue and how to actually fix it.
