      Hi Omkar, Thanks for taking the time to blog your experiences! It's really important to share our knowledge with so many of us on similar journeys into SAP S/4HANA.

      I suggest below a couple of recommended improvements to bring your approach up to best practice and some references to help you become an even better mentor to others.

      • We generally would recommend you ***avoid*** creating a Semantic Object.
        • For ease of usability and to maximize the in-built app-to-app navigation, it's usually much more effective to use a SAP delivered Semantic Object.
        • When you add your tile using a SAP delivered Semantic Object, your new tile is shown as a link in search results, in related apps, in list of links dialogs, etc.
        • I would suggest the first step is to review the available Semantic Objects in transaction SEMOBJ_SAP and only create a new Semantic Object if you really can't find one.
        • For example, if you are adding a tile for Purchase Order you would use the SAP Semantic Object PurchaseOrder. You would never create a ZPurchaseOrder.
        • You can simply create your own custom action for an existing SAP delivered Semantic Object.

      You can simply create your own custom action for an existing SAP delivered Semantic Object.

      How do you create a "custom action" ? Is there an SM30 view ?
