No difference in ABAP itself.

The main difference to you as an ABAP developer will be that most important core tables are keyed with guid's rather than "native" data element keys.

Also, you'll have to learn the paired send/receive CIF functions for getting data from ECC when models are activated online or batch (but again - there's nothing special about these functions from a technical ABAP point of view.)

But in general, when someone tells you you need APO-specific ABAP experience, what they really mean is that it helps to know where stuff is.

But that's the same as regular ABAP - it helps to know that PO screen exits are in XM06, SO screenexits are in the OZZ and IZZ includes, etc, YMIGO_BADI is the screen badi for MIGO, etc.
