4 Fit-to-Standard Methodology Customer ABC S/4HANA Cloud In-app extensibility CoPilot Side-by-side extensibility Fit to Standard Machine Learning Co-innovation Innovation roadmap 4

5 SAP S/4HANA In-App and Side-by-Side Extensibility SAP S/4HANA: Enrich the core In-app extensibility Variants of standard processes and business logic (for example, micro-vertical solutions, localization) Focus on company-owned business documents (for example, legal compliance) Analytics extensibility (for example, tailored operational reporting for minimized asset allocation) SAP Cloud Platform: Extend reach. Integrate. IoT. Side-by-side extensibility with SAP Cloud Platform Integrate with SAP Cloud apps and third-party solutions Input from external users, mobility Extend core processes by before and after steps (for example, customer service or triggers from sensor data) New standalone cloud apps (Internet of Things) 5

6 SAP S/4HANA In-App and Side-by-Side In-app extensions Side-by-side extensions Custom User Interface Custom Analytics / Reports Custom Forms Custom Fields Custom Business Objects In-app Extensions UI Application Database UI Integration Open APIs Business Events * UI Application Database e.g. Fiori S/4HANA Cloud SDK Java ABAP * HANA Custom Business Logic Custom CDS Views S/4HANA View Replication * typical architecture SAP Web IDE Extensibility Cockpit Extensibility Inventory Lifecycle Management SAP CP Integration Services SAP CP Workflow Services SAP Analytics Cloud SAP Identity Management * Outlook / this is the current state of planning, and can be changed at anytime 6

7 In-app Extensibility

8 SAP S/4HANA In-App Extensibility: In-App Key User Extensibility Scenarios I1 UI Adaptation User Interface (Fiori) Cloud Custom Fields I2 OData Service OData Service I3 Application (ABAP CDS) I4 Analytics / Forms Database Table Business Logic OData 1. Adapt UIs show/hide/re-arrange/rename identifier of standard and custom fields 2. Create custom fields Define custom fields and publish it for dedicated CDS views, APIs, UIs DDIC is automatically generated, CDS views and OData services are automatically extended 3. Custom Analytics and Forms Assign defined custom fields for forms 4. Implement Custom Business Logic ( BAdIs ) Implement business logic in Restricted ABAP ; access custom fields, read other objects via CDS views; call external web-based services SAP In-App Extensibility 8

9 In-App Extensibility - Custom Business Logic SAP S/4HANA in-app extensions Implement designated enhancement points within business processes using custom business logic to extend behavior Create Sales Order Adv. ATP Create Delivery Execute Picking Post Goods Issue Create Billing Typical use-cases: custom validation logic, calculations, additional process steps or calls to external services * simplified, see BD9 for full process 9

10 In-App Extensibility - Extensibility Cockpit: Find extension points in a business process Overview about all enhancement points within a business process in S/4HANA Cloud End-to-end selection from solution scope, scope item to business context UIs APIs Business Logic Business Scenarios CDS Views Forms On further drill-down, see a full list of extendable objects for the selected business context See the already implemented extensions belonging to the filtered Business Context objects Respective links for navigation to objects and extensions, e.g. custom fields, standard APIs, CDS views 10

11 In-App Extensibility - Extend standard objects with custom fields Fields are automatically added to the virtual data model and database tables Name Weight YY1_LotNum and can be used in Custom Analytics, Custom Forms, TODO in templates, OData services and Custom Business Logic 11

12 In-App Extensibility - example: Gross weight calculation on batch level SAP S/4HANA in-app extensions Create Sales Order Create Delivery Create Billing On before save delivery: Calculate gross weight DATA total TYPE integer. Read weight information on batch level from standard CDS views Delivery Header Usage of a custom field to store the result LOOP AT delivery-items INTO item. SELECT weight FROM I_Batch WHERE batch = item-batch. ADD weight TO total. ENDLOOP. I_Batch YY1_GrossWeight Delivery Items delivery-yy1_grossweight = total. Invoice Include the gross weight on delivery slip and invoice 12

13 In-App Extensibility - Custom Business Logic code editor Key User Fiori App Custom Fields and Logic Web Editor with Key User Experience Easy exploration of APIs, key user documentation Syntax check, syntax highlighting, code completion Draft (sandboxing) / published, testing included Restricted ABAP: - Robustness / security / data consistency - The following statements are not allowed: any DB operation except selects from released views, tweaking new tasks, dynamic programming, code generation Simplicity: obsolete ABAP statements are removed from the syntax 13

14 SAP S/4HANA Cloud In-App Extensibility: Customer Development Extensions User interface Develop you extension in ABAP Define own data object structures (custom tables) and add business logic in ABAP. Cloud Custom Business Objects (external) OData Service Logic I4 Business Logic Application A Fiori UI can be automatically generated and adapted with the WEB IDE Use business logic (e.g. BADIs) to run actions or validate the entries use your business object to create your custom OData services (read/write) Maintain custom tile on Launchpad I5 SAP Database In-App Extensibility Associate to custom fields or other custom business objects 14

15 In-App Extensibility - Store arbitrary data in Custom Business Objects SAP S/4HANA in-app extensions Store custom data in table-like structures Database tables are automatically generated ID Seats ServiceTechnician (formerly known as Z-tables) As well as a Fiori based maintenance UI 15

16 Side-by-side Extensibility

17 What is a custom side-by-side extension? Custom extension applications A side-by-side extension is a customer developed and operated application, running next to SAP S/4HANA De-coupled integration via APIs, events and replication services Lifecycle independent Separated application stacks Highly productive development environment with the SAP WebIDE and S/4HANA Cloud SDK Fiori Launchpad User Interface (Fiori) OData Service Application (ABAP CDS) Database Table Fiori Launchpad Custom User Interface (Fiori) OData Service Application (Java JS CDS) Database Table Supports hybrid scenarios SAP S/4HANA Side-by-Side 17

18 SAP S/4HANA Extensibility map S/4HANA Simple In-App Extensions Custom Fields, Business Objects, Reports, Analytical reports - Persona: Consultant / Key user Complex In-App Extensions in SAP S/4HANA Custom applications running natively within SAP S/4HANA Cloud - Persona: Consultant / Developer - Integrated in SAP S/4HANA Cloud - Limited business logic ( Cloud ABAP ) - Custom UI (built in the WebIDE, based on UI5) - Target group: internal business user - Operated by SAP (SaaS) Side-by-Side Extension on SAP Cloud Platform Standalone applications running side-by-side to SAP S/4HANA Cloud - Persona: Developers / Partners - Loosely coupled to full standalone - Single instance / Multi-tenant / SaaS - IDE: Eclipse or WebIDE or others - Libraries: SAP S/4HANA Cloud SDK - Complex business logic (3rd party integration, mobile apps, complex persistence requirements) - Target group: internal business user, externals, consumers - Platform operated by SAP (PaaS) 18
