Introduction
In this post, We will go over a series of steps in creation of a Fiori application to perform CRUD operations using ABAP RESTful Application programming model(RAP) on S/4 HANA cloud platform and Business transaction platform(BTP).
Pre-requisites for this Application:
- S/4 HANA Cloud System
- Business transaction platform(BTP)
- Eclipse IDE
There are 2 type of scenarios in RAP.
- Managed Scenario
- Unmanaged Scenario
In this Blog, I am going to explain managed scenario.
Step 1: First, we need to create database table in S/4 HANA Cloud system to perform CRUD operations on this table.
Open Eclipse to create a database table.

Step 2: Create an Interface view on top of DB table.

Step 3: Create Consumption view on top of Interface view.

Step 4: Create Metadata Extension file on top of Consumption view.
By using Metadata extension file, We can provide input selection and also arrange the order of fields in the Fiori application.
Right click on Core data services and select the Metadata Extension.

Once select the Metadata Extension, We should provide Name and Description.
