- Further Information
In order to participate in this hands-on session, you MUST have installed the latest version of Eclipse and the latest version of the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) in Eclipse. Please check the following two short documents how to do this if you have not already done it:
You also need a user on an SAP S/4HANA Cloud ABAP Environment system or on a SAP S/4HANA on prem or private cloud system. The on premise system must have a relase equal or higher SAP S/4HANA 2022.
Note for participants of SAP events: You will recieve logon information from the SAP team during the event.

ABAP Cloud
… is the ABAP development model to build cloud-ready business apps, services and extensions
… comes with SAP BTP and SAP S/4HANA
… works with public or private cloud, and even on-premise
This hands-on workshop will guide you to build developer extensions using ABAP Cloud in an SAP S/4HANA system using RAP facades.
A RAP facade is a released business object interface built with the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP).
You will create your own transactional Fiori elements app with the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model (RAP) and use released RAP facades to enhance the existing functionality.

The scenario we will implement will be an online shop for employees which will allow for the creation of Purchase Requisitions by using a released RAP facade from Procurements.
-
An existing customer/partner wants to create a new business application that will allow employees of a company to order certain articles such as laptops for quick delivery using this shopping app. This can be realized with the ABAP RESTful Application Programming Model(RAP).
-
You’ll build the application starting from a database table using an ADT wizard that generates a starter project wich contains all the needed development RAP artefacts that have to be implemented. The generated business service will be transactional, draft-enabled, and enriched with UI semantics for the generation of the Fiori elements app.
-
Now, the customer/partner wishes to enhance the existing online shop application. After an order for a laptop is placed, it should be possible to initiate a purchase requisition for this order in the SAP S/4HANA system. Using the developer extensibility custom code can be added to the existing business logic of the online shop BO to fulfill this requirementand by calling the released RAP facade I_PurchaseRequisitionTP locally.
Your application will finally look like this:
