# ABAP Explain

Seemore Assistant can explain ABAP code upon request. Get on-demand AI-generated explanations by analyzing the program and context and pinpointing the explanation for the selected code line.

Anywhere a code view is available in Panaya, users can request an explanation for a selected section of code or for the entire ABAP object or program. This enables on-the-spot understanding without leaving the workflow.

Panaya provides ABAP code explanations in the full context of the relevant correction. This includes associated details such as the ATC finding, related SAP Notes, impacted objects, and other supporting information. The goal is not only to explain what the code does, but also why a correction is required and how it aligns with SAP standards and best practices.

ABAP Explain supports a wide range of personas, including SAP consultants, functional architects, QA managers, testers, and, in certain scenarios, ABAP developers.
