About Use Instead

A fast, free reference for developers moving custom code to SAP S/4HANA and clean core.

Type a classic SAP table, transaction, function module or ABAP statement and see what to use instead. The release data comes from SAP’s public Cloudification Repository and refreshes every week. Expert notes add plain-language guidance for the objects that cause the most rework.

You can also summarize an ATC export in your browser, convert classic ABAP to modern syntax, and ask Claude to explain a finding.

Who built it

Built by Chad White, a senior SAP ABAP developer who has spent 20+ years in custom code and integration for organizations in energy, construction, defense and the federal sector. He has worked in S/4HANA since 2015 and built Use Instead to make clean-core migrations faster for other developers.

Accuracy

Release states can differ by S/4HANA release, and AI explanations can be wrong. Always confirm an object’s API state in ADT and test changes before you transport them. Spotted an error? Email hello@useinstead.dev.
