Which functionality is not a part of SAP Best Practices?

The functionality that is not part of SAP Best Practices is the creation of entirely customized solutions without a framework. SAP Best Practices are designed to provide standardized, pre-configured solutions that include proven processes and templates to facilitate faster implementation and better alignment with industry standards.

These best practices emphasize extensibility, meaning that while users can enhance processes to fit their specific needs, they do so within the established framework provided by SAP. This approach helps ensure that the customizations maintain compatibility and that they do not disrupt the underlying architecture or process flows.

In contrast, creating solutions completely outside of the provided frameworks undermines the principles of SAP Best Practices, which aim to give clients a structured, efficient way to implement SAP solutions while minimizing risk and complexity. The delivery of a reference solution in the cloud and integration best practices for migration to S/4HANA are integral components of SAP's offerings, designed to support users in leveraging existing frameworks and tools for optimal outcomes.
