June 29, 2017
SAP has provided lots of Standard Fiori Apps (Transactional, Analytical and Factsheet) for various SAP modules to configure with pre-
defined designs with simplification of screens through guided and easy steps to use the SAP transactions. The main focus of SAP Fiori App
development or configuration is always emphasis to Maximize the SAP User Experience, which helps to capture the important
Business Key-Performance Indicators (KPI) related information through Role or Task or Guided approach rather than
transactional with complex screens.

It is always important to consider the User Experience( with Fiori Design Guidelines) is a main focus when we develop a standard, or
extending or custom development of Fiori Apps which enables the SAP Process Owners to maximize to use the SAP application with
higher satisfaction level.

If you are a SAP Technical or Functional Consultant, it is always remember to consider the User Experience (UX)" concepts to
develop the Fiori App which enables to maximize the user experience, effectiveness of process usage and to achieve an expectedBusiness
Process Efficiency by enabling the tasks by giving them what they really need or sets the standard for enterprise user experience by
removing un-necessary screens to reduce the complexity of SAP process usage.

It is always focus and implement the Fiori Design Guidelines Elements (Role-Based, Adaptive, Coherent, Simple and
Delightful) for any kind of SAP Fiori Application developments. This approach really helps the business users to navigate each click of SAP
screens through their task or process steps and also help them with guided or visualnavigation approach with easy steps.

For example, SAP has provided the 1-1-3 concepts, which means one user, one use case and three screens. This really helps the
business users with easy, guided or task based transaction execution with fewer clicks of SAP Fioris simplified Front-End user screen
experience rather than, so many clicks and navigational of tabs from the traditional SAP transaction with complexity of screen and
navigations.

For example, if we consider the Purchase Order Approval or Release transaction (ME29N) in ECC Business Suite Environment and it
has fewer tabs and clicks to view the critical information (Unit Price, Quantity and Total Value) to approve the Purchase order.
( SAP Purchase Order Release with ME29N: Transactional Based Approach).

The concept of Fiori Design Principleshelps the business user to approve the Purchase Orders through, easy search option with detailed
approval information and everything is summarized in one screen like Unit Price, Quantity and Total Value.

(SAP Fiori Purchase Order Approval App: Approval with Critical Purchasing Information: Role or Task Based Approach).

Conclusion: It is always recommended to consider and design the Fiori Apps using the Fiori Design Guidelines with important
elements like SAP Fiori Elements, Floorplans, Frameworks, UI elements, Layout, Theming, Animation, Overview Pages,
List Reports, Object Pages and General Concepts. This is applicable for any SAP Fiori app development through Business Suite or
Fiori Mobile environments, which really maximizes the User Experience to uses the SAP Applications that helps to maximize the
organizational efficiency with greater benefits.
