SAP Fiori Catalog, Business Group & Role Creation

Will see how to Create a Catalog and Business Group in Fiori Launchpad Designer

 

What is Fiori Catalog?

A catalog is a set of Tiles / Applications you want to make available for one role. Depending on the role and the catalogs assigned to the role, users can browse through the catalogs and choose the Tiles / Applications that they want to display on the entry page of the SAP Fiori launchpad.

What is Business Group?

A group is a subset of Applications from one or more catalogs. Which tiles are displayed on a user’s Home page depends on the groups assigned to the user’s role. In addition, the user can personalize the entry Fiori Page by adding or removing Applications to pre-delivered groups or self-defined groups.

 

Why to Create a Custome Role?

If we use SAP Standard Role End User / Business User will be getting lots of other Application which are not required actually and His / Her Home page will end up messy with lots of business groups and Applications

 

Please Follow Below Steps to Create a Successful Role instead of using SAP Standard Role for Fiori Role.

Need to Create Catalog & Business Group 

2. Click on Add / Create button

3. Give Title & Role (its Description)

4. Click Save

 

5. We can use Standard SAP Catalogs which is will full fill our requirement, once you select catalog its tiles / Applications will be displayed on right side

6. Select the required Tile which you need to add to your catalog and drag once its dragged as shown above 2 options will be enabled Create Reference and delete

  2. Give Title & ID and click on save
  3. Click on add
  4. Once you click on add will get a list of tiles / Apps which we added in Catalog
  5. Click on Add button which is bottom of the tile
  6. Once its added will get a successful message as shown above.
  7. We can also add other Apps/tiles from other Catalogs by searching in the search bar.

  8. I have selected BOM Catalog and under BOM Catalog selected 3 Apps which are required
  9. Click back button and come to the main page

We can see under the Business Group which we created now we have 4 apps once from catalog which we created and other 3 are from different / SAP  standard Catalogs

With this we completed Creation of Catalog & business group, now need to create Role and assign created Catalog and Business Group “RUTHVIK” to a role.

2. Give the role name and click on the single role

12. Click Save

We Have successfully Created Catalog, Business Group and created Role and assigned to the User ID,

 

Let’s Test our work

 

  1. Now login to Fiori launch Pad by using /n/UI2/FLP 

2. Now under “RUTHVIK” Business Group 2 APPs/ Tiles have been added.

 

With this, you have completed role creation by using Custome Catalog and the Business group.

Follow the same steps when very Users need New Business Group with a mix of Different Apps and Catalogs.

      Hi! Ruthvik,

      Thanks for excellent blog. Do you happen to know if creation of catalog and group can be done via standard program similar to how we can do mass maintenance of Fiori roles via program provided by SAP "PRGN_CREATE_FIORI_FRONTENDROLE"?

      Thanks!

      Nice document for someone to first have a go!  Pity I do not have access to create a role in my Demo System though.

      One question, if you click on a Fiori App and there is no response, then what could be the cause of this problem?

      Warren Nash reason would be App action might not assign during role creation

      Nice Blog. Thanks.

      Do you know of a report that shows Catalogs, Groups, Roles, Users?

      I'm surprised there's no tcode or report to show all this information.

      Thanks.

      Hi Ramin,

      As there is no standard report, we have prepared a custom one and made it public: https://help.fioritracker.org/V2020/cr/FPS01/main/.

      It is one of the apps helping us with Fiori Launchpad projects - find out more here: https://help.fioritracker.org/.

      Ok Greg... I give up!

      I download your package for 1909, the readme file says for installation instructions look on the website. The website says for installation look in the download package!

      The only instructions I can find on the site are for 2020.

      You need to get Catalog-report-2020FPS01.zip from https://github.com/fioritracker/cat-rep/releases. Catalog report release 2020 FPS01 will work with your 1909 SAP S/4 HANA.

      Hello Ruthvik,

      Nice Document!!, I have a question here we have four tiles configured in a business group, that is one from custom and 3 from standard. Here, now on launchpad we see only 2 tiles one from custom and another from standard. Why, the other two tiles are not showing?

       

      Many Thanks / Himanshu Gupta

      Hi.

      If users who are not assigned to the role for the tile that you made, they can`t see the tile in Fiori??

      I have been studying SAP Role Authorization and I want to know how to display or undisplay some tiles by SAP Users.

      As I know, that could be possible by using PFCG.

       

      Thanks.
