Resolution

Find out how to enhance the Display Purchase Order app (App ID: F7117) for the view in the My Inbox app.

Prerequisites

The Display Purchase Order app is the source for the purchase order details shown in the My Inbox application and cannot be displayed independently of the My Inbox app. The Display Purchase Order application cannot be extended in the My Inbox application. To extend the Display Purchase Order app view in the My Inbox application, proceed as follows:

  • 1. You are a key user and a business role is assigned to your user, for example: SAP_BR_EXTENSIBILITY_SPEC to work with the Custom Tiles and the Custom Catalog Extensions apps

  • 2. Create a tile for the Display Purchase Order application

  • 3. Adapt the UI of the the Display Purchase Order application

Context

Note

This procedure is based on default content and UIs. Depending on your configuration settings, the procedure may be slightly different.

Procedure

  1. You are a key user and a business role is assigned to your user, for example: SAP_BR_EXTENSIBILITY_SPEC to work with the Custom Tiles and Custom Catalog Extensions apps.
  2. Create a Tile
    1. Open the SAP Fiori Launchpad with your user. Go to the tab Extensibility Specialist and open the Custom Tiles app.
    2. Press Add, enter a title for the new tile. The Id is filled automatically. Press Create.
    3. Make an entry in the required fields.
      Note
      Make sure that your entries look like this:

      • URL: <server-url>/ui#

      • Hash: PurchaseOrder-displayMyInbox?openMode=embedIntoDetailsNestedRouter

      • Icon: choose an icon for your tile from the drop-down list.

      URL: <serverdetails>

      Press Save and press Assign Catalogs.

    4. Search for the relevant catalog(s), here: SAP_MM_BC_PO_WIAPPROVE_PC and SAP_MM_BC_PO_MANAGE_PC. Select the catalogs and press OK. The business catalogs have been added. Mark the catalogs. The buttons Add, Remove, Publish, and Revoke become active. Press Publish and press OK.
      Note

      The newly created tile is visible for all users of the SAP Fiori Launchpad. After enhancements are made to the Display Purchase Order app in the step Adapt the UI, you can go back to the Custom Tiles app, select your tile, choose Assign Catalogs, select the catalogs and choose Revoke. The tile is removed from the SAP Fiori Launchpad. The enhanced view of the Display Purchase Order app in the My Inbox application is not affected by this removal.

  3. Adapt the UI.

    Go to the App Finder and search for your tile.

    1. Open the tile and use the > at the end of any listed purchase order to open the purchase order details.
    2. Go to Adapt UI. Click in an area of the page and use the extensibility tools to make changes. Save and Activate.

      Result: The enhancements made in the Display Purchase Order application are available in the My Inbox application view (even if the previously created tile is removed from the SAP Fiori Launchpad as described above).
