Where on Stack Exchange should one ask questions about SAP configuration an

Locked

I have a “how might one approach this problem in SAP” question, but I’m not looking for a programming answer, since I want process and configuration suggestions, not customisation.

Despite there being an SAP tag on Stack Overflow, it is not technically a programming issue, so in theory it doesn’t belong on Stack Overflow.

However, as SAP configuration is so complex and variable, it could conceivably be regarded as a very high level language, and thus become eligible for Stack Overflow?

What does the community think? Am I going to get downvoted, etc. for asking this kind of question on the SAP tag on Stack Overflow?

I don’t think it would harm to ask. But that doesn’t mean, of course, they’ll do it.

But why not try https://community.sap.com/ or https://help.sap.com/ ? Might be better visited by people who can help you.

Yes, Stack Overflow is traditionally more code-focused, but I see where you’re coming from with SAP configuration being so complex that it’s like a high-level language. Here’s the thing though, if your question is purely about SAP configuration and processes without a coding aspect, you might face some resistance or downvotes. Stack Overflow users can be quite particular about staying within the site’s scope.

However, don’t be disheartened! Have you considered checking out SAP’s own Q&A platform? That place is teeming with SAP experts who tackle both coding and configuration questions. Your query might get a warmer reception there.

In the end, remember, it’s all about finding the right community for your question. Don’t let the fear of downvotes stop you from seeking knowledge.
