Quick answer

The example shows the modern stack: a CDS view exposed as OData, consumed by a Fiori Elements app with little hand-coding.

Key takeaways

  • Most needs are met by standard apps, for example "Manage Purchase Orders", "Create Sales Order", or analytical apps showing live…
  • Watch out: Freestyle builds where Fiori Elements fits.
  • Worked examples: using standard fiori apps, a custom app, conceptually, what it teaches.

Using standard Fiori apps

Most needs are met by standard apps, for example "Manage Purchase Orders", "Create Sales Order", or analytical apps showing live KPIs. The Fiori apps reference library lists each app and how to enable it (OData service, role, catalog).

A custom app, conceptually

" CDS view (backend) exposed as OData
@OData.publish: true
define view entity Z_C_OpenPO as select from I_PurchaseOrderItemAPI01 { ... }

" UI5/Fiori Elements app binds to the OData service
" list report + object page generated from annotations

What it teaches

The example shows the modern stack: a CDS view exposed as OData, consumed by a Fiori Elements app with little hand-coding. Prefer standard apps, then Fiori Elements on CDS, before freestyle UI5, keeping close to standard and clean-core.

Common pitfalls

  • Freestyle builds where Fiori Elements fits.
  • Inactive OData service breaking the app.
  • Missing role/catalog, no tile.
