This document covers the details of the custom SAP fiori Transactional App developed for Quality Notification using FIORI 2.0. SAP does not provide standard solution (FIORI App) that covers all these functionalities for ECC.The entire code is not shared but all FMs/Tables/Logic are listed in the last part of the document as pointers.
The document focuses on two aspects depending on the target audience:
- Features covered in the app (Functional/Business/End Users Audience)
- High level Technical details for each functionality (Technical Audience)

- My Tasks
- Create/Change/Display Notification – Header , Tasks , Items/Defects

- Assign Multiple Batches to Each Item/Defect
- Digital Signature for closing Tasks and Notification
- Alerts

1. My Tasks
As soon as User enters the app the first screen displays the list of notification tasks assigned to the logged in user. Tasks are fetched for the user for a period of last 365 days from current date with task status as “Released (TSRL)” and previous tasks user status “Task Completed (TSCM)”. This makes easy for user to get a view of his/her task and take action immediately.
User can edit the task by clicking on pencil icon on the right bottom side, change User Status by clicking on complete button instead of going into notification and doing the same action.
If the user is the approver for the task, buttons Approve and Reject appear at the bottom.
2. Create/Change/Display Notification – Header , Tasks , Items/Defects
User can create notification with only few mandatory fields as per client’s settings.
My defaults feature is provided to make users life easier where the user can save his/her default values for different fields on the screen and can load and use them the next time to create notification instead of typing all the fields again.
Validations for batch, Production Order etc. Fields are in place to avoid wrong posting of data in the SAP.
After correcting the invalid values, notification gets created and posted in SAP.
After creation, the screen gets refreshed with the new values and user can view the details and can also change by clicking on the pencil icon at the bottom of the screen.
3. Add/Change/Delete Tasks / Items
User can add/delete/change tasks/items in create/change mode.
4. Change User Status for each task
User Status can be changed by clicking on edit task button. This functionality is similar to the one on the first My Task screen. User status can be changed to Complete or Approve/Reject if the user is approver for the task.
Different User Status Change possible are Completed , Approved , Rejected , Cancel :
5. Release of all Tasks & Notification
On click on submit Workflow button the notification gets saved and all tasks and notification are released at one go unlike SAP where tasks have to be selected and then released. In SAP, after release of all tasks, notification is released. This reduces the no of clicks and operations in FIORI making it easier for user.
Released Status
6. Assign Multiple Batches to Each Item/Defect
User can assign multiple batches to each line item/defect On the Item/Defect screen by clicking on the icon next to delete. The Batches assigned can be changed as well as deleted.
After successful save, the batches can be seen with the sort numbers.
Change/Delete/Add of new batches
Batch for sort number 0010 deleted , for sort number 0020 changed and a new batch added as well
After successful save the new sort numbers can be seen.
7. Digital Signature for closing Tasks and Notification
Again this a multi click task in SAP where user has to select each and every line item to close the task enter digital signature and then finally close the notification with Digital signature. To reduce this, it’s a one click action in FIORI app where on click of close button Digital signature pop up appears and all the tasks and notification are closed provided the user status of all tasks are complete. Again this reduces a lot of work for user.
After all tasks are completed the functionality can be completed. It gives a pop up for user to select option from Internal/External Origin and Date/Time.
After choosing the option , the Digital Signature pop up appears.
After entering the password, the notification and all tasks closes successfully.
8. Alerts
On the search screen, for the entered parameters list of notification is displayed. For this list, depending on business rules defined by client, alerts are displayed. This gives user information on the remaining to close notifications, Approaching deadline, Overdue Notifications. The no of days (calculated from current date) for each criteria is defined by the business. For e.g.: if today’s date – required end date for the task is 5 days then it should appear in approaching deadline criteria.
High Level Technical Details
This part of the document would be more appealing for the technical people as most of the time is lost in finding the correct logic/function modules/tables/enhancements and testing them. The aim is only to give high level details and not the exact step by step process done to achieve the functionalities.

Enhancements/Exits/BADI Used:
| Functionality | Purpose and Technical Details |
| Digital Signature | Standard Create/Change Notification FM has the Digital Signature Code, but it checks the flag and gives an error message and stops the process. To continue signing, if the FM is called from FIORI a flag is set to indicate that the call Is from FIORI screen. The necessary DS flag is cleared from the method and standard signing process continues. |
| Custom Fields | NOTIF_EVENT_SAVE~CHANGE_DATA_AT_SAVE is used to save the custom fields if any for notification |
| Assigned Objects | There are no standard FMs or direct methods for Create/Save/Delete Assigned Objects. To achieve this few implicit enhancements done. |
