SAP Fiori Fact Sheets Guide

SAP Fiori Fact Sheets provide rich, contextual overviews of core business objects—materials, customers, suppliers, sales documents—so users can research, navigate, and act without hopping across multiple transactions. In practice, SAP Fiori Fact Sheets become the fastest way to assemble a picture: current status, related KPIs, and the web of relationships you need to investigate an issue or prepare for a decision.

What Fact Sheets Do

Each fact sheet tile opens a consolidated view: object header, key attributes, KPIs, and quick links to related objects. Instead of running MMBE, MD04, ME2N, and a custom report, a Material Fact Sheet can surface stock, open POs, planned orders, and recent movements—on one screen. This is why decision-makers love them: minutes saved per lookup add up across a month.

How Navigation & Drill-Down Work

SAP Fiori Fact Sheets excel at relational exploration. From a Sales Order Fact Sheet, jump to Customer and Delivery Fact Sheets, then into a related transactional app to act—e.g., create a return, change a requested date, or trigger a credit check. The journey is natural: overview → related object → action, all without memorizing T-Codes.

Project Examples & Use Cases

Supply chain triage: Planners used the Material Fact Sheet to identify shortages by plant, check open purchase orders, and review upcoming receipts. The ability to jump to Supplier Fact Sheets shortened root-cause analysis when deliveries slipped.

Account preparation: Sales used the Customer Fact Sheet before client calls to scan open orders, overdue invoices, and recent returns. That preparation led to better conversations and fewer surprises.

Quality follow-through: QA reviewed Inspection Lot or Batch Fact Sheets to track nonconformances and navigated to related production or supplier data to coordinate corrective actions.

Setup, Access & Data Freshness

  • Access: Assign catalogs/roles, ensure fact sheet tiles appear on the Launchpad for the right personas.
  • OData services: Activate and test for all related entities; keep payloads efficient to maintain snappy screens.
  • Authorizations: Respect data sensitivity (e.g., financial, HR) via role design; test with SU53 when users see blanks.

Tips for Analysts & Managers

  • Bookmark your core SAP Fiori Fact Sheets per process area (OTC, PTP, RTR) to speed investigations.
  • Use related-object links to complete the story, then jump into a transactional app to act.
  • Pair with analytical apps for trend context; use fact sheets for object-level detail and actionability.
