Extend standard FIORI element app in S4HANA on Premise

[anmol_bhat112]

I am trying to find out the best way to extend the standard FIORI element app. For example MD_BPS1 ( Business partner app ). As the FIORI element apps dont have view and controller. I dont see any extension point for these apps for enhancements.

Could you please help me with this.

Regards,

Anmol Bhat

Hi jpope appreciate if you could raise a new question.

a) There's no option to reply to a comment.

b) Even if your scenario seems similar, the devil is in the detail. So the answer could be quite different.

Thanks

Hi Anmol,

You have a few options.

You can use UI Adaptation at Runtime - i.e. the Adapt UI option in the Me Area provided you have the authorization role SAP_UI_FLEX_KEY_USER

If there is a business context scenario you can add fields using Fiori app Custom Fields and Logic

You can extend the underlying CDS View e.g. using an Extend View option in ABAP Development Tools for Eclipse

You can extend the app using a Fiori Adaptation Project in the Web IDE

Question would be: how do you want to change the app?

Thanks a lot Jocelyn. I think with my requirement UI Adaptation in WebIDE should do the trick.

Hi Jocelyn,

I have a similar scenario, in which my goal is to add some new fields to a standard Fiori Elements App.
More specifically, it recurs to a SEGW Project that refers to a certain CDS View.
I can add the additional fields pretty easily by an CDS Extension.

The question is: how can I add value helps to those new fields?
I did it like I would do on a normal CDS View to several purposes - Fiori Elements, Freestyle App, Analytical Query, etc - by using @Consumption.valueHelp, @ObjectModel.foreignKeyAssociation, etc.

The problem is: the new entity types that would come up for the search helps and such did not show up on the associated SEGW Project. The solution I came up with was to regenerate the SEGW Project - by doing such the issue was solved and the much-needed entities were added!

Is there a way around it?
Adding value helps without having to regenerate the SEGW Project, I mean?
Could you give me a hand?

Thanks and much regards,
John

Dear jpope,

I think it would be the best to start a new question instead of taking over an old one.

Hi Jocelyn,

We have exact requirement, where we have to add custom fields to delivery item table for which there is an odata model API_OUTBOUND_DELIVERY_SRV. We have added using in-app and the fields got added to table and structures. But these are not available in odata service/model. As it is a standard object, cannot change that. Does that mean that we have create anew odata model ? Also any pointers on how to update please ?

Hi jyothiraditya.k ,

please do not add new topics to an already answered topic. Please create a new question but also provide more details and i.e. also screenshots of the settings for the custom fields that where created.

Best regards
Gregor

Hello,

even if SAP did not provide any extensibility documentation for this App, I advise you to open hyper-link « how to extend a SAP Fiori app » from your screen-shot...

It gives some informations.

Thanks Laurent for you reply.

The extensibility tab does not show anything for this app.

Hello Anmol,

did you check SAP Fiori Apps Reference Library?

All necessary information for this App is available here:
