Abstract: The development phase done in the large SAP(Systems Applications and Products in Data Processing) implementation projects has begun to use in the last years development resources from other countries, not those from the country where the solution is implemented. This was done due to the increasing pressure on the implementation costs. More and more companies are located in the area where a reduced price of the development part, which is essential in the implementation of an SAP Project, entails the implementation of the project. Some companies decide to delay the implementation of SAP precisely because of the high price offered by the companies that implement such an integrated system of type ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning). It has been shown, the studies of the last period show, that the involvement in the development area ABAP(Advanced Business Application Programming) and not only, of the programmers in an area where the price per day is much lower, has aroused a series of pro and cons discussions on how who have contributed to the project in good conditions. In this case study, the author wishes to bring into discussion, based on the information gathered during the SAP implementation project, a series of risks, difficulties and problems - issues, that have appeared. It will also be desired to discuss and bring to the table of the researchers, how the problems were solved, the times of resolution, the approach to the problems, often the language barriers as well as the understanding of the problems, exceeding the limits of the normal understanding. of how to approach a problem. Unfortunately, the discussions regarding money had priority over the quality of development, at the expense of a correct, coherent, very well written, explained and documented programming mode, which is absolutely necessary for a project which is created for an ERP implementation.
