Link to Guided Answers -  How to extend a SAP Fiori app for SAP S/4HANA and SAP S/4HANA Cloud

 

Fiori in-app extensibility is the way to add new features in the standard Fiori App delivered by SAP for productive use. The most common queries we receive from any UX development team or customer is how exactly to go about extending a Fiori App in a S/4HANA On-Premise system, as end-to-end, it involves many steps such as:

• Preparing the resources


• Preparing the development environment


• Finding what extensions are available for the Fiori app


• Making frontend User Interfaces


• Adjusting backend OData Services


• Configuring the Launchpad


• Creating tiles


• Adding tiles to tile groups and tile catalogs


• Adjusting business user security roles for authorizations

While much of this information is available, it is not currently all in one place. From my experience, I have found that customers were facing the difficult task of first gathering the necessary information and then chaining it together to achieve their goal. To make it easier, I have put together a step-by-step how-to guide to help any such UX projects.
