“Yes boss, I’m trying to process on time but I’m struggling with this new SAP. I waste an inordinate amount of time looking for the right tile to complete my tasks. Can I have the “real” SAP back, please?”. This is what I often hear from SAP users who switch to Fiori.
For SAP users keen on using SAP Gui, the transition to SAP Fiori is not always easy. The difficulty lies not in the tasks to be performed, as these are the same as before. The difficulty lies in finding the right tiles to match your business processes. At first, you try it out, then Fiori nibbles away at your enthusiasm and you say to yourself “it was better before”, which is an understatement since we’re talking about SAP, a powerful ERP that’s not known for being easy.
Here is a 4 steps tutorial to swich back to «good old SAP» from your SAP Fiori:
Step 1 – Start your Fiori session.
Step 2 – Replace the URL
In the navigation bar, use the following value : /sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui/#
Now you can see SAP EASY ACCESS called from your web browser. You are still in your SAP session started from Fiori but you are back to the GUI version.
Step 3 – Show the field to call transaction codes (OK code field)
Select the menu More > Gui actions and settings > Settings
Activate the checkbox «Show OK Code field» and save.
And now you are back to the SAP EASY ACCESS with its menu and transactions codes.
Step 4 – Add the URL to your favorites
This link to SAP WEB GUI is an easy way to fullfil your duty when you are stuck with SAP Fiori, but i advice you to find the equivalent with FIORI tiles when it is possible. SAP has evolved, and so do we must. Enjoy this tips :-).
