Answer / ayman.m

I will try to explain the RICEF as mush as I can, R-Reports (this refers to the a requirement which cannot be met by the standard reports provided by SAP....including report painter/writer) I-Interfaces (this refers to a requirement where SAP needs to be integrated with some other non-SAP system....the best example that comes to my mind is the banking interface...where SAP has to be integrated with a bank's system in order to automate the payments.) C-Conversion (this refers to the data conversion...when a company decides to phase out a non-SAP application all the data from the non-SAP app including the master data as well as transactional data needs to be converted into SAP.The data volume will depend upon how big is the non-SAP system which is being phased out and how many functionality does it support.) E-Enhancements (this refers to the changes which can be made to the SAP programs to change the way a transaction is carried out...SAP provides enhancement points in programs which are also known as user-exits, which can be used to tweak the calucations which take place in the background...for example vanilla SAP uses the posting date to derive the exchange rate for a foreign currency document...but if a user wants this translation to happen based on the document date instead this can be achieved by activating the user-exit and making program changes to pick uo the exchange rate using the document date.) F-Forms (this refers to the various forms...like the sales invoice,commercial invoice,customers invoice,vendor invoice,purchase orders, customer open AR statements etc...all of these if needed to be issued as a physical copy on the company letterhead, will generate a rek for a form....SAP has provided some utilities to develop the forms like SAP Script and Smartforms...smartforms are more recent...SAP Scripts are a little outdated..) A requirement associated with any of the above is also referred to as RICEF object.For each of the RICEF object to be incorporated a functional SAP guy has to write a functional spec, and then the ABAP developers use this spec as a reference to carry out the necessary program changes associated with the RICEF object.I hope you get it now

Answer / satya

RICEF is not a standard SAP acronym! Is there anyone knows
who made RICEF acronym firstly?
All right, RICEF stands for Reports, Interfaces,
Conversions, Enhancements, Forms.
R - Reports
R refers report programming. Of course, firstly classical
report programming, WRITE statement; then it means ALV
programming with either ALV function modules or ABAP
objects.
I - Interfaces
Interfaces are ALE / IDOC developments. Not only
development, ABAP programming for IDOCs, also IDOC
customization, management. I think it might refers EDI too.
C - Conversion
I think conversions means BDC programming, batch input
function modules, BDCDATA structure, CALL TRANSACTION.
Maybe conversion specifically refers conversion programs
for standard batch input programs. Even we can say it
refers LSMW.
E - Enhancements
Enhancements are user-exits and the object oriented model
of user-exits that is BADIs.
F - Forms
Forms are SAPscript forms, SAPscript print programs, and
SmartForms.

In SAP implementation projects, RICEF refers to technical development in terms objects.These objects are distinguished based on the categorization and will be assigned to team on the basis of expertise.
As usual Reports are assigned to the less experienced and Enhancements to the most experienced.
