S/4HANA on-premise: Purchase Requisition app links to Material app.. which doesn't exist on S/4

[Former Member]

I've got the "Manage Purchase Requisitions" apps working in S/4HANA on-premise:

There appears to be a link on the Item Description "Ale for Party (1)", so curiosity causes me to select this:

Within a split second this error pops-up and closes, and I'm landed back to where I was.

When I check the console in the Chrome Developer Tools, to find out what app tried to load, I find the following:

So I can see here the target that was atempting to load was "Material-displayFactSheet?Material=1" so I try to call this URL directly, and get an error.

So I look for a "Material" app in the Fiori Apps Library, and find this, as the only likely contender.. but this is not for S/4HANA on premise, and when I check SICF for the ICF node for this UI5 app I find, as expected, it doesn't exist.

I looked through all the S/4HANA apps with the word "material" in the tile for the matching Semantic Object = Material and Action = displayFactSheet, but none exists...

Is there a way what a user can view this information? or is the hyperlink a mistake? Myabe the intention is what we manually create a new target to point to a Business Client 6.0 screen, or a WebGui screen, rather than a Fiori app, but it seems somewhat unfair to give a link with no mapping to a target.

Am I missing something?

Thank you

Hi Lindsay,

I've encountered the same issue.

It seems if you're on FSP1 for release 1511, then the Material factsheet does exist, but there's no standard Target Mapping for it. You can add some as per SAP Note 2249777. If however you're not on FSP1 yet then I get the impression that the factsheet component is missing altogether so this won't be an option.

I've just added the target mapping in my system, however I now get a new error about the specified component controller not being found. I've raised a support incident, so if I get a further fix I'll let you know.

Thank you Roger for pointing me to the note! I will try to implement this now, as I am on SP01

It worked! Thank you

One little tweak to the SAP note instructions for my S/4HANA instance:

In the note it says to set the Component value in the target to "mdm.cmd.product.maintain.ops1"

However, this didn't work, so I checked the app code, and found that the actual value should be:

"mdm.cmd.product.ops1"

Thanks Roger!

Further to this, from the "Purchase Requisition" app, I see the "Requestor" hyperlink:

Which navigated to the target "User-displayFactSheet", but this returns the same error. I cannot find any app which would come from this Semantic Object and Action..

Is there a way to search the Launchpad Designer Catalogs for Targets and Actions? This would help my search for knowledge
