Create Fiori catalog and group
you need to open Fiori designer
to access the Fiori designer you need to use transaction code : /N/UI2/FLPD_CONF or alternatively you can use the path as below format
http(s)://<HOST-NAME>:PORT/sap/bc/ui5_ui5/sap/arsrvc_upb_admn/main.html
then the below screen will open, you will enter your user name and password and login
here you will find all standard catalog and group defined by sap
in our blog post we will explain how to create a new catalog and group as per business requirement
click on create and insert the name and ID for the new catalog
when you click save you may face the below issue, to fix it you need to create a development request to save your changes on it and assign to the your session
after creating the development request go the setting and assign it
now if we tried to save the catalog again it will be save without issue
and after saving the catalog it will open directly as below
in the next step we will create a target mapping to add an application to this group
in this step you can create a target mapping for an exist application which is exist in SAP fiori library or you can create your own app
also you can create an application for any Z t code you have
in our example we will explain the second option to create a new app to T code : TK11
Create new app for any transaction code
click on target mapping and click on create target mapping
then fill the data as below
actually we get the sematic object, action and system alias from SAP Fiori library website for another app related to pricing condition app
in application type we inserted transaction and in tiles we writhed the name of the app
and in transaction we inserted the T code : TK11 which we need to access it from fiori platform
then click save
below screen shoot from SAP Fiori library website
after that we will create a tile details for this application as below
click on tiles then add new static tile
then insert the title details of the app and the same sematic object and action we use it earlier
then click save
then the application will appear in the main screen as below
now we will go to next step
Create Custom Fiori group
will choose group then click on add
insert your ID and description of the group
then click save
you will see that the group is created and ready to be used
click on add icon to insert the application we have added in the catalog earlier
in this step you can search for your catalog to get the application and insert it in the group
here you can see the application we just created in the catalog
you need to select it to be added in the group
in the main screen you will see the application appeared in our custom group
now we will go to GUI to add this group to authorization role to be able to use it
assign the catalog to authorization role
go to transaction code PFCG then create new Z role
then go to menu tab
then choose launch pad group
insert the group ID and continue
then we will do the same to add Fiori catalog
then go to authorization tab and change the authorization data
here you can edit the authorization as required
in my case i give a full authorization
click on generate and save
then get back to assign this role to user name
now we are ready to access the application we will go to Fiori apps
you can access it using T code : /n/ui2/flp
here you can see that you have a new group name : custom sales group with the application assigned ” create shipment condition ”
now the application is working fine with the full authorization as we did in PFCG
Conclusion:
now you will be able to create a catalog, group, and assign it to the user to access it
