To successfully extract custom code for your S/4HANA conversion or upgrade, the ATC Run results must be provided. An initial ATC Run should be executed before using the Panaya Custom Code extraction program.
Important!
Be sure to always log in to SAP using the same language for all ATC Runs, so that the ATC output language is consistent throughout the project.
Regenerate ABAP Loads Before Running ATC Checks!
This is especially recommended after major system changes, such as:
SAP upgrade or conversion
Support package or feature package update
Large transport import or other major repository changes
For copied or refreshed systems, the SAP Basis team should confirm whether SGEN is required as part of the post-copy activities. If required, complete SGEN before running ATC checks.
Use SAP transaction SGEN - ABAP Load Generator to generate or regenerate ABAP loads in the checked ATC system.
Enhancement Implementation Adjustments
Before running ATC checks on an upgraded SAP system, run transaction SPAU_ENH and review any enhancement implementations that require adjustment.
For each enhancement implementation listed in SPAU_ENH, review the conflicts in the Adjustment tab, use Adjust Enhancement Implementation where applicable, then save and activate the enhancement implementation as required.
Program changes after ATC checks
Avoid changing objects directly in SAP after the ATC checks have completed and results uploaded to Panaya. The SAP system should stay stable / unchanged in order to have aligned code with Panaya. This is a preliminary step to avoid submit errors.

A list of existing run series will appear.
In the toolbar, click on Create.
Fill in the name of the series you wish to create and click Confirm
Provide the following field description -
Field | Description |

Check Variant | S4HANA_READINESS_<Version> |
Objects to Check | Input Package names you wish to check. It is highly recommended to always use the ‘Z*’ and ‘Y*’ values and any additional package where custom code is implemented. |
Check the "Include Modified Source Code Objects" to analyze VOFM and SD user exit implementations in standard SAP code -
In the Checkable Namespaces, be sure to select Package range Z* and Y*
Save
