Review the AI
An AI assistant on an SAP project is right most of the time — and wrong in the same confident voice. Here are 8 moments from a real project where it was wrong. You’re the reviewer: decide what to do before you trust the answer.

That’s expected — customizing clients block repository changes like service publication. Log on to client 100 in the same system and publish the service from there. Client 100 is normally the workbench client used for this.
