## **And 3 Things You Shouldn’t Do**

As a niche SAP Consultancy, [Detering Consulting](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/11-best-ways-to-improve-sap-claims-management-processes) has learned a lot about what you can and can’t do with [SAP Fiori](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/sap-fiori-user-interfaces-s4hana-ux-design-launch-pad-entry-point).

<https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/daily-warranty-claim-processing-routines>

# **Here are the top 11 features and benefits of [SAP Fiori](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/top-11-things-you-did-not-know-you-can-do-with-sap-fiori)**

 

1. [SAP](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/sap-consulting-focus-areas)’s future only UI which provides a [**future-proof UI platform**](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/sap-fiori-user-experience-ux-design-approach)
2. **Browsers supporting UI5 run [SAP Fiori](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/sap-ecc-warranty-related-tables-related-resources-web-sites),-** Fiori works across all devices*)
3. [SAP Fiori](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/your-ultimate-guide-to-sap-s/4hana-service-contract-management) is **browser based** -> eliminates software installs.
4. **Incorporates UI5:** a vast library of modern dynamic controls while also retaining all of the power and flexibility SAP ABAP.
5. [SAP Fiori Consultants](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/sap-warranty-processing-dealer-portal) have better **control over canvas** so that [SAP Fiori](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/11-things-you-should-know-about-revolutionary-sap-vms-vehicle-management-system) developers can control flow and visualize anything they can imagine.
6. **Mix OLTP with OLAP** data allowing you to mix both transactional and [business intelligence](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/how-to-master-the-claim-complaint-cause-correction-loop) types of data
   
   For example, many SAP customers use this to surface warranty KPIs in Fiori—combining claim transactions, ACS data, and analytics from [warranty and supplier cost recovery consulting](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/cost-recovery-consulting-for-sap-supplier-recovery) into role‑based tiles and dashboards.
7. **User experience matches what users expect** thus providing an [enterprise software](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/how-to-design-your-product-hierarchy-in-sap) experience that has an [end-user experience](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/how-to-define-and-manage-entitlements-in-sap-service-contracts-better) most likely to be adopted
8. **[SAP ECC](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/sap-ecc-tables-related-resources-web-sites) has a huge number of screens and transactions** --> SAP is rolling out [SAP Fiori transactions](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/do-you-know-what-browsers-sap-fiori-supports) on a steady basis. [Standard transaction](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/sap-serial-number-management-presentation) replacement rate is impressive, so much so, that SAP UI can already be switched off starting with [S/4 Hana](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/sap-warranty-analytics-benefits) 1809.  This makes IT consulting much more [productive](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/sap-acs-quick-scan-assessment-service) in that you are able to leverage the continuous improvement efforts of the entire SAP eco-system.
9. **Single point of entry** for business applications and [analytics](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/sap-warranty-analytics) which delivers a simplified, ***personalizable*** access to common applications
10. **SAP Smart Business** which delivers real-time dynamic [KPI (Key Performance Indicators)](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/what-is-warranty-analytics-why-do-you-need-it) updates
11. **[Large SAP Fiori Apps Library](https://fioriappslibrary.hana.ondemand.com/sap/fix/externalViewer/): **Many [common business processes](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/how-we-solved-the-standalone-supplier-recover-process) have already been app-ified by SAP. Accessible online via this link: [https://fioriappslibrary.hana.ondemand.com/sap/fix/externalViewer/](https://fioriappslibrary.hana.ondemand.com/sap/fix/externalViewer/)

 

 

### Here are the 3 things to watch out for:

1. SAP Fiori Applications **do not work “out of the box”** they require the correct technical and functional configuration on the frontend and backend systems.
2. SAP Fiori Gateway is using Restful API; if your transaction interaction on the application is complex, all data in backend cannot be cached (since every call is independent), hence **performance may be adversely affected.** Gateway can be configured to switch on a caching mechanism, possibly leading to instability. SAP Fiori Customers should [avoid accessing large data sets](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/how-to-create-an-effective-warranty-fraud-detection-process) - however [HANA](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/top-11-things-you-did-not-know-about-sap-rma-returns) or Elastic Search as a backend is usually ok.
3. **Going forward, two developer skill-sets will be required for Fiori application development**:   
   - a UI Designer (specialized in UI5 design, typically less concerned with database and transactional 'backend'), and   
   - a backend ABAP developer that knows HANA, business process, transactional flows, AND Fiori.

In closing, there are a lot of** great benefits available** for SAP Customers who [implement](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/blog/how-to-calculate-an-sap-acs-warranty-project-payback) and use SAP Fiori. In the warranty space, well‑designed Fiori apps also make it much easier for operations and finance teams to [recover more from suppliers and reduce warranty leakage](https://www.deteringconsulting.com/cost-recovery-consulting-for-sap-supplier-recovery) by putting recovery‑focused KPIs and workflows directly in front of users.
