My Inbox with Fiori Elements App in embedIntoDetails mode

[basilrakasz]

Hello

I am currently trying to integrate a Fiori Elements ListReport App Intent-Based using SWFVISU into Fiori My Inbox.

The following blog describes all the necessary steps for normal Fiori Apps:

https://blogs.sap.com/2020/07/31/fiori-my-inbox-integration-of-custom-detail-page/

However I am struggeling with the correct routing, because I am using the generic template, which is working with pages in sap.ui.generic.app instead of default routing:

The problem ist, that I am not able to combine routing from sap.ui5 namespace with sap.ui.generic.app.

In manifest.json I tried using custom Routing patterns for the myInbox hash as following:

Declaring componentUsages in sap.ui5 is not a working solution, but my best guess so far...

This only results in an error when opening the app:

Has anyone used Fiori Elements in embedIntoDetail in MyInbox so far?
Any hints on correct routing in manifest.json will be very appreciated 🙂

Thanks and Regards

Basil

openMode=embedIntoDetailsNestedRouter

embedding fiori element app as approval ui is supported now.

Thanks a lot Jun Wu!

I didn't have time or occasion to try it out yet. I am eager to do it soon though 🙂

You are a legend!

Ok folks so the good news is there is something we are expecting to release later in 2021 in this area - with a couple of apps delivered to demonstrate the approach.

As usual that will come to S/4HANA Cloud, public edition first and then be inherited to SAP S/4HANA on-premise & private cloud edition later.

It will require the relevant SAPUI5 release (1.90). I expect we will publish a blog on this topic explaining more once we have released it.

So while that doesn't solve your immediate problem, I hope that gives some certainty on direction.

For now I would suggest use the External mode or create a small freestyle app for the purpose.

Thanks Jocelyn for your response.

I am awaiting your news/blog about this topic with utterly curiosity!

Hi Jocelyn,

Thanks a lot for your rapidity, you are the best 🙂

Could you please inform your managers, that not all customers are yet on S/4HANA On-Premise and even less on the Cloud. At best, my customers will be on S/4HANA in 1 or 2 years. This kind of functionality can easily be integrated into a 2020 front-end SPS... I think 🙂

Hello Jocelyn,

we upgrade our Frontendserver to 2021 SP1 (SAPUI5 1.96, UIBAS600) in the next days. Can you tell us a blog or example how to configure the embedDetail with an Fiori-Elements app?

Thanks and Regards

Christian

You mentioned a new blog is coming somewhen in late 2021. Do you have any further info since this questions was opened ?
Thank you!

Hi jocelyn.dart ,

Would like to know if there are any update documentation related to this?

I would like to implement the solution to solve one the users' requirement.

Thanks

Hi Tjarlimann, Ok so I appreciate the confusion. To clarify.. the standard Fiori elements floorplans are not intended to be used with My Inbox - because My Inbox needs additional input parameters (Work Item ID) and Output parameters - to return data to the workflow.

If you are creating your own sub-app, what I would suggest instead is to have a look at the SAPUI5 application FIN_POAC_RVW_WF - app F3517 My Inbox - Review Purchase Order Accruals as a relatively easy example of how to do sub apps for my inbox using the "embedintodetails" approach.

Hi @Jocelyn_Dart 

Thanks for the insights

Would it be possible to share the blog on the upcoming feature to launch the deatils page

Cheers

MB

[Jocelyn_Dart]

Hi MB. It's been an existing feature for some time and is documented in the My Inbox Extensibility. For example https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_S4HANA_ON-PREMISE/8308e6d301d54584a33cd04a9861bc52/c0b9c7de720c45599ef...

Hello,

Did you find a solution, I have the same requirement.

Regards,

Joseph

[basilrakasz]

Hi Joseph
Not yet so far. I will inform you if I find a solution to this.

Workarounbd would be to work with external mode, which I don't like for my use case.

[Joseph_BERTHE]

This is my workaround to... but for productive purpose it is not suitable. I have informed jocelyn.dart to that feature. We will see. If I have some news on my side, I will keep you informed as well.

Kind regards,

Joseph
