SAP Fiori is the user interface or user experience (UX) that supplements and can replace the SAP GUI. This streamlined application uses tiles to encapsulate standard tasks, such as approving purchase requisitions, viewing sales orders, and approving timesheets. The SAP Fiori environment is the new standard for modern user interfaces, and consists of a suite of applications that are:

 

Responsive – they can be used on any device: desktop computers, tablets and smartphones. You have access to your data in the field, on the road, and during meetings with clients;

Simple – no programming knowledge is needed to work with SAP Fiori. The applications are designed to be used completely intuitively;

Connected – all of the Fiori apps operate in one environment, which means that you can move freely between them. You can easily customize your screen to suit your needs, and find space for all necessary information;

Role-based – you can assign entire application sets to individual roles in the company (analysts, sales, purchasing, etc.). This means specific data can only be accessed by specific people;

Convenient – the interface is clear, aesthetic and modern. Working in the Fiori environment is simply fun!

There are 3 types of applications available in the SAP Fiori environment:

• Analytical – monitoring key performance indicators (KPIs) on an ongoing basis, and empowering new business directions in response to market changes. With access to virtual data models, the analytical apps also provide users with access to necessary information on their company’s operation. Data is presented using charts, graphs and diagrams in an accessible format that facilitates better interpretation of business results.
• Transactional – supporting both internal and external business processes. Fiori transactional apps facilitate creation, implementation and adjustment of everything from customer orders and employee holiday requests, to payroll processing. Because the data is modified in real time, the effects of all your changes are visible immediately. This allows for better internal communications and also protects against simple mistakes (such as double orders).
• Information lists – providing access to all necessary data from one overview screen, thanks to which you’ll find the information you need much faster than in other SAP user environments. Because reporting in Fiori uses HANA databases, data worksheets are searched as the user enters their inquiry. New results are also available from the overview screen, eliminating the need to navigate between multiple windows.

The biggest advantage of the SAP Fiori interface is that it provides users with a uniform, uninterrupted working experience. Clear, legible views facilitate user decision making, and constantly updated data means you won’t miss any changes.
