Create Objects

Create new ABAP development objects directly from VS Code without opening SAP GUI.

How to Create an Object

Option 1 — Command Palette:

1. Press Ctrl+Shift+P to open the Command Palette.
2. Type and select ABAP FS: Create object.
3. Follow the wizard prompts (object type, name, description, package).

Option 2 — Explorer context menu:

1. Right-click a package or folder in the ABAP Explorer.
2. Select Create object.
3. Follow the wizard prompts.

Option 3 — Via Copilot:

Ask Copilot in natural language, for example:

"Create a new class ZCL_MY_CLASS with description 'My class'"

Copilot fills in the object details automatically. You will still be prompted to select a transport request.

Supported Object Types

Object type	Type code
Report / Program	PROG/P
Class	CLAS/OC
Interface	INTF/OI
Function Group	FUGR/F
Data Element	DTEL/DE
Domain	DOMA
Database Table	TABL/DT
CDS View	DDLS
Message Class	MSAG/N
Package	DEVC/K

Many additional types are supported. If the object type you need is not listed, try the wizard — it shows all types available in your connected system.

Notes

• A transport request dialog always appears for objects that require transport. This step cannot be skipped.
• The new object opens in the editor automatically after creation.
• Objects must be activated before they can be used at runtime.
