SAP Fiori for SAP S/4HANA – Getting started
UPDATE – Relevant for S/4HANA 1909, 1809, 1709, 1610, 1511
We covered in detail Fiori for S/4HANA – Fundamentals during Blog 1, let us now prepare to implementing SAP Fiori.
As a general recommendation, when planning a Fiori for S/4HANA Project in versions 1809 or higher you will need to become familiar with the available documentation and recommended SAP Fiori activation procedure: Rapid Content Activation
Relevant notes/considerations:
- For S/4HANA versions 1709 or lower you can continue to use Best Practices for SAP Fiori, you will find links to these documents in the Legacy Configuration Guides section of this blog, however with S/4HANA version 1809 or higher the recommended activation procedure requires the usage of Fiori Rapid Content Activation and an Embedded SAP Fiori Deployment
- If you are planning to move from a Standalone to Embedded Fiori Deployment you will find a step-by-step document in the following blog.
Guide Glossary:
- UI Technology Guides
- High level information related to configuration steps needed to setup Fiori infrastructure and post conversion activities.
- Administration Guides

Hi, are the Configuration Guides valid for 1809? I am especially interessted in MAA.
Feedback is much appriciated!

Hi,
For S4HANA 1809 not valid anymore. You can't find this MAA, MAB, MAC etc in Best Practice anymore. Now 1809 easy for Fiori, see variant S4HANA 1809 Fully-Activated Appliance.
