The turn of the year is approaching and several annual changeover tasks are pending in your BI landscape. Many tasks can be automated, but there is one unpopular task that most people are not spared: requesting, creating, and importing various flat files into the BI systems. The work is as time-consuming as it is error-prone: errors creep in every year for work that only needs to be done infrequently, especially if the files to be created are extensive and complex. If the files contain errors, a game of ping-pong begins between IT and the specialist department.<\/p>\n
Files are often created manually because the information is not available in a system that could be connected to SAP BW as a source.<\/p>\n
How can the process be improved here?<\/strong><\/p>\n One proposed solution for recurring, extensive work is the creation of an SAP Fiori app<\/strong>. This could be used to enter the data in a S\/4HANA or BW system. These can be created using templates (Fiori Elements) and standard components and adhering to the Fiori design specifications via an SAP UI5 framework. However, SAP Fiori apps can be used for more than just data collection. Once you have gained initial experience with the apps, you quickly realize that there are a large number of application scenarios: The mapping of complex processes or the visually appealing display of the results of SAP BW queries.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t SAP UI5 apps are applications that support companies in their processes and represent customized and adaptable solutions. They are usually part of a broad business solution.<\/p>\n If these apps comply with SAP’s Fiori guidelines and therefore have a standardized and user-friendly user interface, they are referred to as SAP Fiori apps.<\/strong><\/p>\n SAP UI5 apps use ODATA services as interfaces between the SAP system and apps. ODATA (Open Data Protocol) is an HTTP-based protocol for data access between software systems. There is a strict separation between business logic (front end) and data provision (back end).<\/p>\n While SAP Fiori apps are an integral part of an SAP ERP solution, they are rarely used in the analytics environment. This is despite the fact that technical expertise in the development framework is often available within the company. SAP Fiori apps offer the advantage of a consistent user experience and adapt to different screen sizes – including mobile devices – thanks to their responsive design.<\/p>\n A distinction is made between the following types of apps:<\/p>\nSAP Fiori apps - what do they do?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
