Key takeaways

Through the SAP Fiori app Custom Fields, functional experts


can create custom fields to cover the most common requests.

Using the “Adapt UI” feature, key users can add the new
custom field into some of the different SAP Fiori apps that
support the business process.

It is possible to enable the new fields in other functionalities


related to the process, such as SAP S/4HANA migration
cockpit – for initial loading, APIs – for integration, forms – for
output management.

For more complex scenarios, the support of a developer is still


needed (e.g. TCODES: SCFD_REGISTRY and SCFD_EUI).

This process is part of the Tier 1 – Cloud Extensibility model,


meaning it is a cloud-ready and upgrade-stable development.
