Use SAP Build Apps to Build Side-by-Side UI Extensions for SAP S/4HANA

The main focus of this mission is to develop a custom UI application, which consumes an OData service from an SAP S/4HANA system.

We will create a simple custom UI application using no-code tool SAP Build Apps, push the code to the HTML5 repository and show different options on how to expose this application - as a stand-alone or with the different SAP Build Work Zone environments.

You can find this scenario as a mission in SAP Discovery Center.

Business Scenario

As a sample scenario, Jane a sales executive of ACME Corporation regularly meets different customers. She needs access to the latest customer information on the go. She needs a simplified web application, which can run on a portable device like smartphone or a tablet.

ACME Corporation implements the application as an SAP S/4HANA extension on SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP). This application is created with SAP Build Apps, a no-code user interface development tool.

This scenario covers:

• Building application with SAP Build Apps
• Set up connectivity between SAP BTP and SAP S/4HANA Cloud or SAP S/4HANA on-premise
• Deploying the application on SAP BTP, Cloud Foundry environment

Landscape Setup for SAP BTP and Mock Server

If you don't have an SAP S/4HANA system, you can use a mock server setup instead.

• Install Mock Server

Implementation of an SAP Build Apps Extension Application

Once you have set up the landscape, you can develop, test, and run a simple UI application. We will show the steps to implement the simple UI application using the SAP BTP-managed HTML5 repository. This is a kind of PoC to see if and how the whole landscape setup is working.

Develop a simple UI application:

• Create a No-Code Application with SAP Build Apps
• Create a Business Partner List Page
• Create a Business Partner Details Page
• Build and Deploy Your SAP Build Apps Application to SAP BTP
• Integrate the Application with SAP Build Work Zone, standard edition
• Build Your App and Install it on a Mobile Device
