SAP Fiori UX stands for Fiori User Experience of SAP S/4 HANA environment for end users. The term UI is different from UX within the manner that UI stands for user interface which defines the interface between the user and the device. User Experience tries to create a positive experience for the user.

SAP Fiori Launchpad is a role-based UI client to access Fiori apps side by side. SAP Fiori Launchpad contains two types of user interface clients – Enterprise Portal and NetWeaver Business Client. UI Theme Designer can be used for customization of Fiori Launchpad.

SAP Fiori Application consists of three types of apps −

Transactional Apps
Analytical Apps
Fact Sheets

Transactional Apps

Transactional Apps run best on SAP HANA database but can be deployed with any database with acceptable performance. These apps allow the user to run simple SAP transactions on the mobile devices as well as desktop or laptops.

Fact Sheets

Fact sheets are used to drill the key information and contextual information in business operations. In SAP Fiori tiles, you’ll drill down to further details.

Fact sheets also allow you to navigate to Transactional apps to run SAP transactions. A few fact sheets also provide an integration option of geographical maps.

Fact sheets only run on SAP HANA database and require an ABAP stack. They cannot be ported to SAP HANA Live tier-2 architecture.

Analytical Apps

Analytical apps are used to provide role-based real-time information about the business operations. Analytical apps integrate the power of SAP HANA with SAP business suite. It provides real-time information from large volume of data in front-end web browser.

Using analytical apps, you’ll closely monitor Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). You’ll perform complex aggregations and calculations of your business operations and react immediately as per the changes within the market condition.

SAP Fiori Analytical apps run on SAP HANA database and use virtual data models.

SAP Simple Logistics – Deployment Types

SAP S/4 HANA provides various deployment models such as On Premise, Cloud and Hybrid solution. When you deploy S/4 HANA system within the cloud deployment scenario, data replication is performed using the same mechanisms that is used in on-premise installations – SLT. To perform data replication via SLT, SLT portions will have to be available on both the sending (On-premise) and the receiving system (Cloud).

Non-SAP reporting and analytics and additional SAP Simple Finance or partner products need to be connected to the cloud instance or be made available withwithin the cloud installation as required.

On-Premise Solution

In On-premise deployment model, the customer purchases software and hardware; the operations are managed by the customer itself. All the deployment, implementation and maintenance tasks are performed by the customer. Any new software extensions are handled by on-premise support team.

Cloud Solution

In this deployment, hardware and software is provided by the cloud solution provider and it’s rented to the customer. The cloud service provider is responsible for performing all the updates, extensions, and new implementations.

Hybrid Solution

In this deployment scenario, some part of the software is run by the client on-premise server owned by the client, and additional solution is provided by the client provider. You need to perform an integration between on-premise and cloud environment for better service.

Types of Users in SAP S/4 HANA

You’ll have different user types in S/4 HANA system to meet the business requirement. In every company, you have three basic user types −

Occasional − These user types occasionally use the system and need simple and easy-to-use applications.
Expert − This user type is a fully trained SAP user who knows the system effectively and uses multiple systems and different UIs.
Developer − These users are responsible for adaption and extension of existing applications. These users have to access several applications with different user interfaces.

SAP Simple Logistics – Procurement Types

Procurement Type is used to determine whether a material is procured in-house or it can be procured externally, i.e. a planned order or a purchase order needs to be created. The type of procurement completely depends on the material type.

When the procurement type supports both in-house production and external procurement, material requirement planning starts with in-house production.

As per the procurement type, the master data settings and MRP parameters, the receipts (usually planned orders or purchase requisitions) are scheduled. Restrictions due to overloads are left out of consideration, the procurement type defines the type of procurement elements. Depending on the procurement, scheduling is applied.

Special Procurement Type is used to define how procurement has to be carried out. In consumption-based planning, special procurement type stock transfer from plant to plant at the plant level can be defined.

Material Requirement Planning is normally performed at the plant level. You’ll also exclude storage location stock from the plant’s MRP run. With the use of storage location MRP, you’ll define the following special procurement types −

Production in an alternative plant
Stock transfer from an alternative plant
External procurement
Consignment
