Types of SAP Fiori Application Details

SAP Fiori applications can be classified into different types. Examples include
the following:

Transactional:

These follow an optimal design for fast transaction processing, such as

purchase receipt entry.

Analytical:

These provide the tools required for analysis, graphs, charts, exploration,
data mining, and drill-down.

Factsheet:

These provide a 360 degree view of all key information related to a

business subject. For example, enter an employee name and all
information about that employee appears, such as working hours,
vacation, pay, performance, manager, and awards.

Note
 This is a good example of the SAP Fiori approach, which is to use a limited
number of consistent interfaces to keep things simple.

When a developer creates a new SAP Fiori application, they begin by selecting a
template that is based on transactional, analytical, or factsheet, so they have a
consistent look and feel.

The three most common types of SAP Fiori app are as follows:

Transactional apps provide the classic approach for functions of a

business system. They are available for SAP S/4HANA and Business Suite
on any database.

Analytical apps use the analytical capabilities of SAP HANA to provide

insights in business data. They are available for SAP S/4HANA and
Business Suite on HANA.

Fact Sheet apps use the enterprise search capabilities of SAP HANA to
provide search results. They are available for SAP S/4HANA and Business
Suite on HANA.
