Unit 1
Lesson 2
Assigning Roles and Working with SAP S/
4HANA PEO Apps on SAP Fiori Launchpad

LESSON OVERVIEW
In this lesson, you learn which business roles and catalogs are available for SAP S/4HANA
Manufacturing for Production Engineering and Operations (PEO) applications, as well as
which applications are available for specific business roles. You also learn how to manage
various applications and settings on the SAP Fiori Launchpad.

Business Example
John is a consultant with the low-volume A&D Company focusing on the final assembly of
complex products. The Company would like to start using SAP S/4HANA PEO applications
using the SAP Fiori launchpad. John is tasked with assigning business roles to Company
users, so they can see and use SAP S/4HANA PEO applications from the SAP Fiori launchpad.

LESSON OBJECTIVES
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
● Explain which business roles are required for which SAP S/4HANA PEO apps
● Understand the grouping of SAP S/4HANA PEO apps on the SAP Fiori launchpad
● Manage settings of the SAP Fiori launchpad and create an own group with applications

Business Roles Required for SAP S/4HANA PEO Application and Component
If you use the SAP Fiori launchpad as a user interface, a prerequisite is that you have roles
assigned to your SAP Fiori user in the NetWeaver Gateway system. Each SAP Fiori application
requires its own set of business roles (BR) to be assigned to use it.
SAP delivers template roles, called business PFCG roles, which refer to the corresponding
template business catalogs and business catalog groups.
● Business PFCG Role (BCR)
A business PFCG role contains refers to business catalogs and business catalog groups.
Once you, as an administrator, assign the business PFCG role to a user, the user sees the
apps included in the business catalog group on the entry page of the SAP Fiori launchpad.
Through the business catalog referenced, users have access to further relevant role-
specific apps. The user can select the apps from the catalog to make them available
directly on the entry page.
● Business Catalog (BC)
Business catalogs contain a sample collection of target mappings and app launcher tiles
relevant for a business role. The content of the business catalog is a subset of the content
of the technical catalog. This subset reflects the authorization requirements of a certain
business user.
