Possible extension for fiori app "Stage for Production"

2026-03-19T17:07:25.924000+01:00

Hello Experts,

I've been asked to add into the Fiori app "Stage for production", two fields that are already available into PMR, at item level. The fields are "Operation Number or Activity Number" (/SCWM/S_SP_A_ITEM_PRDP - /SCWM/OPERATION) and "Operation Short Description" (/SCWM/S_SP_A_ITEM_PRDP - /SCWM/OPERATION_DESCR).

Do you know if it's somehow possible to extend the app to add these two fields?

Is it somehow possible via SPRO?

Thank you for your support

How to use BTP Destination with REST API in UI5 App (BAS local development)

2026-03-24T13:36:11.535000+01:00

Hello,

I created a Destination in my SAP BTP subaccount (connection test is successful).
(see screenshot below)

My goal is to deploy the app later to Cloud Foundry.
However, first I want to make my UI5 app work locally in SAP Business Application Studio (BAS) using the Destination, including authentication and data retrieval from the backend.

Current App Configuration:

ui5.yaml

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://sap.github.io/ui5-tooling/schema/ui5.yaml.json

specVersion: "4.0"
metadata:
  name: testproject1
type: application

      configuration:

          path:
            - /resources
            - /test-resources
          url: https://ui5.sap.com
        backend:
          - path: /backend
            destination: TEST_BACKEND

      afterMiddleware: fiori-tools-appreload
      configuration:

AJAX in Controller

        _loadMetadata: async function () {              
            $.ajax({
                type: "GET",
                url: "/testproject1/backend/application/api/v1/documenthub/$metadata",
                headers: {
                    "Accept": "application/json"
                },
                success: function (oData) {
                    console.log("Success", oData);
                    MessageToast.show("Metadata erfolgreich geladen");
                },
                error: function (err) {
                    console.log("Error", err);
                    MessageBox.error("Fehler beim Laden von Metadata");
                }
            });

        }

Problem

testproject1 in AJAX-URL is my app-ID from manifest.

Case 1:
When Calling

url: "/testproject1/backend/application/api/v1/documenthub/$metadata"

I get 404

Case 2:
When Calling

url: "/backend/application/api/v1/documenthub/$metadata"

I get 500

Console log shows:

Additional Info:
- Destination "Check Connection" works in BTP
- Backend works in Postman with OAuth2
- Problem occurs only in BAS local preview

I have already watched some posts and questions on similar problems, but they didn't help me solve my problem.

I would be grateful if someone could help me.

odataVersion 4.01 prevents app from being imported into Work Zone HTML5 Apps

2026-03-26T12:00:39.470000+01:00

Hi community,

I have a UI5 app that uses an OData service, and the odataVersion in manifest.json is set to 4.01.

      "mainService": {
        "uri": "/odata/v4/quote/",
        "type": "OData",
        "settings": {
          "annotations": [
            "annotation"
          ],
          "localUri": "localService/mainService/metadata.xml",
          "odataVersion": "4.01"
        }
      }

When I deploy this app to Cloud Foundry and refresh the Channel Manager in SAP Build Work Zone, the app fails to be imported, and the downloaded report contains the following error:

businessapp does not match the schema, dataPath: undefined, message: 'must be equal to one of the allowed values' [ '2.0', '4.0' ]"

Changing odataVersion to 4.0 makes the import succeed.

I believe this is a bug in Work Zone. I hope it will be fixed, but I am sharing this in case others are facing the same issue.

Duplicate apps appearing on the Work Zone page

2026-03-26T12:07:33.499000+01:00

Hi community,

When adding a UI5 app deployed to the HTML5 App Repository to a page in SAP Build Work Zone, the same application appears twice in the "Add Apps" dialog. One entry shows the system as "saas_approuter" and the other shows "saas_approuter" followed by an additional string (what appears to be a GUID).

When I select the entry with the additional string, the app does not appear on the site after being added.

This duplicate entry with the appended string started appearing recently, and I would like to understand why it is showing up.

Activating the business function ‘FINS_PARALLEL_ACCOUNTING_BF' in sandbox system

2026-04-02T13:24:47.588000+02:00

Dear Team,

We are currently testing the ABAVN (asset retirement) and ABAON (asset scrapping) processes using custom workflow functionality. The requirement is to auto-populate all mandatory fields for these transactions from a custom dashboard, present the values to the user for simulation/review, and then proceed with posting based on the user’s confirmation.
The ABAP team has proposed testing the API_FIXEDASSETRETIREMENT_G4BA API to meet the auto-population and posting needs. However, per the SAP Business Accelerator Hub page “Overview | Fixed Asset – Post Asset Retirement , use of this API requires activation of the business function “Universal Parallel Accounting” (FINS_PARALLEL_ACCOUNTING_BF). Based on SAP Note 3191636 (“Universal Parallel Accounting: Scope Information, this activation may have significant system-wide implications.
We are performing the initial testing in the sandbox using representative master and transaction data. If successful, the plan is to evaluate the impact, proceed with activation in the target system as appropriate, and then propose the end-to-end solution to the business.

We are not planning to implement CO-PA at this time. However, SAP Note 3191636 indicates that activating the “Universal Parallel Accounting” business function (FINS_PARALLEL_ACCOUNTING_BF) can also impact CO-PA.

Question: Can we proceed with activating this business function to enable testing? If yes, is activation reversible (i.e., can it be deactivated later), and would it still be feasible to activate/deploy the impacted application components (including CO-PA along with below given one's, if needed) after this business function is enabled?

FI-GL (General Ledger Accounting)
FI-AA (Asset Accounting)
CO-OM (Overhead Cost Controlling)
CO-PC-OBJ (Cost Object Controlling)
CO-PC-OBJ-EBR (Event-Based Revenue Recognition)
CO-PC-PCP (Product Cost Planning)
CO-PC-ACT (Actual Costing)
CO-PC-ML (Material Subledger)
CO-PA (Margin Analysis)
CO-FIO-OM (Overhead Management)
IM (Investment Management)
MM-IM-VP (Inventory Balance Sheet Valuation)
MM-SRV (External Services)
RE-FX (Flexible Real Estate Management)

Please review the request above and share your inputs/recommendations. I’d appreciate your guidance on the best path forward.

Thank you.,

I also tried making the same change from SAP Logon, but the issue still remains and the modification is not possible.

I have attached all the error screenshots and mentioned where the changes were attempted for your reference.

SAP Fiori List report app does not load automatically when navigating back to app

2026-04-09T11:57:33.066000+02:00

In Adaptation project which is built on a Fiori list report app, the app data does not load automatically when navigated back to this application. User has to manually click on Go. There is a mandatory filter in app, which has data when app loads.

This was working in earlier versions, but stopped working after upgrading to S4HANA 2023.

We have tried various properties in manifest of main application to enable auto loading, but its not working.

Can someone please provide possible solutions.

Avoid create sales order from certain sales office and invoice from certain business area

2026-04-14T16:59:02.208000+02:00

Hello SAP Community

Sales Order creation in VA01

I have Sales office1, Sales office2 and Sales office3 in the same sales organization.

Sales office1 and Sales office2 could create also sales orders in Sales office3. However, Sales office3 shouldn't create the sales order in the rest of the Sales offices.

We have a role that has V_VBAK_VKO with the sales organization and channel distribution.

We have try to add the sales office to block in VA01, but it hasn´t worked. It seems that it isn´t work in sales office level. Is it this correct or is there a way it can work?

I've seen the OSS note 3046057 - Authorization check regarding sales office and sales group in sales document. This note have an example to create a z authorization object. Can´t we manage it by authorizations in roles, without ABAP? It's just I wanted to know if there weren't any other way apart from using user-exit.

Invoice creation in VF01 and VF04

We have the same problem at invoice creation VF01 and VF04 transaction, how to manage the authorizations in roles to filter by business area? I have business area1 and 2 that can see BA3, but BA3 shouldn´t see BA1 and BA2. We are using V_VBRK_VKO. Is there a way to manage by standard authorization objects?

Kindly ask for your advice and thank you in advance.

Best regards

Issue with Japanese IME Input Recognition in Value Help Search Field (Fiori Elements)

2026-04-15T04:40:54.856000+02:00

In a SAP Fiori Elements application running on SAPUI5 1.120.2, using OData V4 and CAPM (Nodejs) as backend service, we implement Value Help using annotations only (@Common.ValueList).

When users input Japanese text using IME in the search field inside the Value Help and perform conversion (space + enter), the latest converted value is not recognized by the search field for the first time. If user closes the Value Help dialog and enters the input again for the second time, the search field works as expected.

Unexpected result:

The result list is not updated according to the latest input.

Expected Result:

The result list should be updated immediately based on the final converted Japanese text, without requiring the dialog to be reopened.

Question: Has anyone experienced this issue before? If so, how was it resolved? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hello All,

I have a question regarding column width settings. Whenever I adjust a new column and set its width, the changes are lost after refreshing the page.

UI5/Fiori Elements V4 Upgrade: Navigating the AddressViaNavigationPath Breaking Change

2026-04-19T11:00:52.335000+02:00

# Introduction

Recently, I upgraded a UI5 and Fiori Elements V4 application from version 1.132.1 to 1.136.13. While the upgrade process was relatively smooth, I encountered an interesting breaking change related to entity associations and PATCH requests that I'd like to share with the community.

## The Issue

During testing, I discovered that PATCH requests for nested entity associations were suddenly failing after the upgrade. The root cause? A behavioral change in how the framework constructs update paths for related entities.

### What Changed

In versions prior to 1.135, when updating entities with one-to-many associations, the framework used **short paths** in PATCH requests. However, starting with version 1.135 and continuing through 1.136.13, the framework began using **long paths** when the following annotation was present at the entity container level:

```xml
<Annotation Term="Common.AddressViaNavigationPath" Bool="true"/>
```

**Example of the difference:**
- **Short path (old behavior):** `/EntityA(key1)/NavPropertyB/EntityB(key2)`
- **Long path (new behavior):** `/EntityA(key1)/to_NavPropertyB(key2)`

This change broke compatibility with existing backend services that expected the short path format.

## The Solution

The fix is straightforward and should be applied at the **CDS annotation level**. You need to explicitly set the `@Common.AddressViaNavigationPath` annotation to `false` on your entities:

```cds
@Common.AddressViaNavigationPath: false
entity MyEntity {
// entity definition
}
```

### Implementation Steps

1. **Locate affected entities** - Identify entities with one-to-many associations that are being updated
2. **Add the annotation** - Apply `@Common.AddressViaNavigationPath: false` to the entity definition
3. **Test PATCH requests** - Verify that update requests now use short paths
4. **Redeploy** - Deploy your changes and test end-to-end

## Why This Matters

This breaking change highlights an important principle when upgrading frameworks: **always test data modifications thoroughly**. While UI rendering changes are often immediately visible, changes to request payload structures can silently break integrations.

## Conclusion

If you're upgrading to Fiori Elements V4 1.135 or later and experience issues with entity updates, check your entity annotations. A simple `@Common.AddressViaNavigationPath: false` annotation can restore the previous behavior and ensure backward compatibility with your backend services.
