SAP Fiori is SAP’s
newest user-experience (client experience) product for SAP programming. It is
designed to help clients build SAP applications, with a package consisting of a
collection of various standard applications for the most common and basic
business activities. Generally speaking, the Fiori UX product enables
responsive, customized, and straightforward user experience across all
deployment and device options on which SAP applications are set up.
A robust user
experience application for SAP applications, SAP Fiori offers over 300
different role-based applications for use in various business functions like
work approvals, calculation and financial apps, self-service apps, and other
crucial tools for different aspects of business like manufacturing, supply chain,
sales, research and development, engineering, finance, asset management, human
resources, and procurement. SAP
Fiori allows for efficient management of all these business
functions across various devices and platforms, ranging from desktops and
laptops to smartphones and tablets. By combining Fiori with other complementary
SAP tools, businesses can take advantage of superior user experience, unmatched
query execution and response time, and personalized, role-based engagement
across enterprise-wide applications.
SAP Fiori
applications can be divided into three different categories, distinguished
based on their infrastructure requirement and overall function. These
categories include transactional apps, fact sheets, and analytical apps.
Examples of transactional applications include those that help process purchase
orders, travel requests, and leave requests. Fact sheets, on the other hand,
help provide users with a centralized resource for different types of
information like details on vendor contracts, which can help them drill down to
other crucial data like contract terms, vendor details, item details, and more.
Analytical apps, on the other hand, help provide users with real-time and role-based
information about various business operations. These apps are ideal for
monitoring KPIs (key performance indicators), as well as for performing complex
calculations and aggregations for various business functions so you can act
immediately and accordingly in response to changes in the market condition.
