What is SAP Fiori

SAP Fiori is the award-winning design system for all SAP products, available to you to create your own business applications with a great user experience (UX) – for web and mobile.

SAP Fiori is a design language that brings great user experiences to enterprise applications based on SAP User Experience. It works seamlessly on desktops, tablets, and smartphones.

At the point of SAPPHIRE in 2013, the first 25 apps for managers and employees with request and approval functions had been released. Since then the number of apps has increased greatly. SAP Fiori 2.0 was introduced with SAP S/4HANA 1610, taking the idea of SAP Fiori to the next level. Today SAP Fiori 3 is the current target design, which evolves the SAP Fiori design language for all SAP products to fully support the Intelligent Suite.

SAP lists 3 types of Fiori Apps

1. Transactional apps, which allow users to perform SAP transactions on mobile devices as well as desktops. For instance, there is a transactional app for creating a leave of absence request and another for approving a purchase order.
2. Fact sheets, which display information about key business objects in SAP. For example, there is a fact-sheet app for viewing a central purchase contract; it allows users to also drill down into related entities, such as vendor contacts, items under contract, and terms.
3. Analytical apps, which allow users to display key performance measures and other aggregate information about the business
