Clean Core Analysis

SAP has introduced Clean Core quality gates during S/4HANA migrations - especially for RISE and public cloud customers. That means your custom code must be optimized for the cloud as part of the transition. smartShift helps you meet these requirements by eliminating unused code, improving performance and security, and aligning with ABAP Cloud standards. Addressing this now sets your business up for a more agile, cost-effective, and future-ready SAP environment.

Even stable systems can accumulate technical debt. Over time, custom code piles up - much of it unused, duplicated, or undocumented. This hidden complexity increases costs, slows down innovation, and makes future upgrades more difficult. Clean Core helps you regain control by identifying what’s actually needed, modernizing your codebase, and aligning with SAP’s long-term development model.

You’re not alone. Many teams struggle to cut through the noise. Clean Core is SAP’s initiative to keep your custom code isolated, modular, and cloud-compliant. The goal is a system that’s easier to upgrade, extend, and secure. At smartShift, we turn that vision into action with a proven Clean Core Analysis that shows exactly where you stand and how to move forward.

A short-term fix often leads to long-term pain. Fixing only “P1” issues might get you through migration - but it won’t give you a Clean Core. That approach leaves technical debt behind, increases post-go-live risk, and creates upgrade challenges later. smartShift ensures your code is fully optimized for S/4HANA from the start - addressing security, performance, stability, and cloud compliance across your entire codebase.

SAP Joule is a helpful assistant - but it’s not built for mass code transformation. It supports manual review and cleanup, which adds time, cost, and testing risk. smartShift automates the entire process at scale - with over 99.99% accuracy, fixed pricing, and guaranteed results. It’s the fastest, safest path to Clean Core.

Both assessments help you identify unused code, but Clean Core Analysis goes deeper. While Custom Code Analysis offers a high-level view, Clean Core Analysis breaks it down by application area, object type, and usage patterns. This gives your team the actionable insight needed for informed decisions about modernization and decommissioning.
