052: 10 Minutes from Start to Launchpad052: 10 Minutes from Start to LaunchpadWalks a RAP application from a root CDS view entity through a consumption projection and its associations to a metadata extension: a facet per field group, a hidden field via UI.hidden, and a selection field on the ABAP package, all in a Customer-layer DDLX source read by the generated Fiori elements app. It then covers the parts ABAP CDS modelling and annotation stop short of — service definition and binding, generating the UI in Business Application Studio, and wiring the deployed app into the Fiori Launchpad through an IAM App and business catalog.Björn S., published 2026-09-07
A Guide to CDS Metadata Extensions, Fiori App Generation and SAP UI5 Controller ExtensionsA Guide to CDS Metadata Extensions, Fiori App Generation and SAP UI5 Controller ExtensionsWalks through a RAP-based Fiori elements app end to end: layering UI annotations onto a CDS view through a separate ABAP metadata extension object, gated by @Metadata.allowExtensions on the base view and ordered across extensions by a required @Metadata.layer value. Generates the app in SAP Business Application Studio from the published OData V4 service's merged $metadata document, then adds an SAP UI5 controller extension — registered in manifest.json against a Fiori elements lifecycle hook — only for behaviour the annotations cannot express.ankitapaul229, published 2026-07-27
CALL BAPI IN CUSTOM ENTITY THROUGH RAPCALL BAPI IN CUSTOM ENTITY THROUGH RAPBuilds a read-only RAP Custom Entity, ZCE_BANK, whose query provider class calls BAPI_BANK_GETDETAIL directly instead of reading a CDS-based persistency, handling filtering, sorting, paging and the total count from the request object in IF_RAP_QUERY_PROVIDER~SELECT. It walks through the @UI annotations — headerInfo, presentationVariant, lineItem, selectionField, identification — that drive the entity's Fiori Elements list report, which is Fiori annotations on the ABAP door.harsha_reddy24, published 2025-12-09
Creating Material Master Data in SAP S/4HANA Using RAP and EML .Creating Material Master Data in SAP S/4HANA Using RAP and EML .Builds an unmanaged Transactional model RAP business object for Article (Material) master data on top of the standard interface views I_Product, I_ProductDescription and I_ProductPlant, replacing BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA with EML operations in the create, update and custom extendplant behaviour methods. A CDS metadata extension adds the Fiori annotations — headerInfo, facets, line items and value helps — that drive the generated Fiori elements UI.Sudhanshu07, published 2026-01-08
From R/3 ABAP to CAP/Fiori Elements on SAP BTP- DeploymentFrom R/3 ABAP to CAP/Fiori Elements on SAP BTP- DeploymentThe doing half: the steps and the code that got the application from the first post deployed and working. Shorter, and it assumes the argument has already been made.former_member231477, published 2021-04-30

From R/3 ABAP to CAP/Fiori Elements on SAP CloudFrom R/3 ABAP to CAP/Fiori Elements on SAP CloudWritten by an ABAP developer of fourteen years explaining what changed and what did not — the argument being that CAP kept the focus on business logic that ABAP had, where learning UI5 and a framework or two had not. The reasoning half of a pair.former_member231477, published 2021-03-24

On‑the‑Fly Excel Download in a RAP Fiori App — No Database Table, No Persistence, Pure CDS + ABAPOn‑the‑Fly Excel Download in a RAP Fiori App — No Database Table, No Persistence, Pure CDS + ABAPBuilds a CDS custom entity backed by an ABAP class that implements IF_RAP_QUERY_PROVIDER and assembles an XLSX workbook at request time — hand-built from Open XML parts with cl_abap_zip for multiple sheets, or in one line via cl_salv_table=>to_xml for one — then streams it to the browser through the @Semantics.largeObject annotation. The same annotation makes Fiori annotations render the field as a download link with no backing database table, trading the usual persisted-blob approach to document output for a file rebuilt fresh on every click.hemanthmj, published 2026-06-18
RAP - Navigation (App to App)RAP - Navigation (App to App)Walks through app-to-app navigation from a RAP list report and object page: the @Consumption.semanticObject annotation and its semanticObjectMapping.element and additionalBinding variants for links, against the inline @UI.lineItem WITH_INTENT_BASED_NAVIGATION and @UI.identification FOR_INTENT_BASED_NAVIGATION for buttons. Each variant is added through a CDS metadata extension and traced into the target app, showing which fields end up in the filter and how the two annotation styles differ in the list report's formatting. Annotation-driven navigation on a RAP service is part of what Fiori annotations covers on the ABAP door: CDS annotations, carried in a metadata extension, driving the Fiori elements UI.Björn S., published 2026-09-01

Step-by-Step Guide to Display System Details on SAP Fiori Launchpad ShellStep-by-Step Guide to Display System Details on SAP Fiori Launchpad ShellA step-by-step build of a plugin for the SAP Fiori launchpad shell that shows the system ID and client on every app it hosts: an OData service modelled in SAP Gateway Service Builder (SEGW), its GetEntitySet method redefined to call the function module RSAPI_CTC_GET_SYSTEM_DETAILS, then consumed from a project in SAP Business Application Studio with the Component.js and manifest.json changes a shell plugin needs instead of a standalone app. It covers the registration step a plugin needs beyond a normal Fiori app: a Catalog and Target Mapping with Semantic Object Shell and Action Plugin, deployed on-premise and assigned to roles.RahulManchala, published 2025-07-30

Creating a Custom F4 Help for Currency Fields in ABAP Using F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUESTCreating a Custom F4 Help for Currency Fields in ABAP Using F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUESTWalks through building a custom F4 help popup for a currency selection-screen field: an AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST handler reads currency codes and texts from TCURC and TCURT into an internal table, then passes it to F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST to render the popup list. It is offered as a replacement for the field's standard search help when that does not fit the business requirement.vinodkumarreddyappannagari, published 2026-06-03
