AP Fiori is a set of applications developed by SAP that provide a modern, intuitive, and user-friendly interface for accessing SAP business applications. It is designed to improve the user experience of SAP systems by providing a consistent, easy-to-use interface across different devices, including desktops, tablets, and smartphones.
Fiori is built using modern web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It is based on a responsive design that allows the applications to adjust automatically to the screen size and orientation of the device, providing a consistent user experience across different devices. The user interface is built around tiles, which provide a graphical representation of the application functions and data.
SAP Fiori applications are categorized into three types:
- Transactional apps – these applications provide a simplified, role-based interface for performing specific business transactions, such as creating a sales order or approving a purchase requisition.
- Analytical apps – these applications provide real-time insights into key business metrics, such as sales performance or inventory levels.
- Fact sheets – these applications provide a consolidated view of key business objects, such as a customer or a product, and allow users to access related information and transactions.
SAP Fiori is designed to work seamlessly with SAP’s backend systems, including SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business Suite on HANA, and SAP Business Suite. It uses the SAP Gateway technology to connect to SAP backend systems and expose the relevant business data and functions to the Fiori applications.
Overall, SAP Fiori provides a modern, user-friendly, and intuitive interface for accessing SAP business applications, making it easier for users to perform their tasks and make informed decisions. It is a key component of SAP’s user experience strategy, and an important part of SAP S/4HANA implementations.
