Fiori
SAP Fiori Launchpad is the latest generation web application interface for SAP’s ERP. Instead of logging into the SAP GUI, users can now access SAP transactions from their tablets or smartphones with the Fiori portal (SAPUI5 technology).
The advantages of Fiori are not limited to its web accessibility. Indeed, the interface has been completely redesigned. The SAP GUI and SAP Fiori interfaces no longer have anything in common in terms of ergonomics. The Fiori interface is much more intuitive and functional than the SAP GUI interface.
The interface offers users a business-oriented view via tiles and a portal.
With Fiori, users have access to a multiple application. In addition to the transactional functionality of the ERP, SAP S/4HANA Embedded Analytics is available for operational reporting needs.
The suite of “Analytics” applications provides numerous pre-designed reports and Performance Indicators (KPI) by functional area (sales, purchasing, accounting, etc.), all in real time.
It is of course possible to create your own KPIs, analysis and reports using the dedicated Fiori tiles, or by developing your own SAP ABAP Core Data Services (CDS) on the HANA Studio, which form the virtual data models (VDMs) at the base of the solution.
Rapid Views can also be deployed on the S/4 HANA ERP to provide users with pre-configured CDS Views in the form of virtual datamarts and semantic layers covering business intelligence reporting needs.
