Hi Readers,

In this blog, I am going to discuss the steps to create your first FIORI analytical app using SAP Smart Business KPI Modeller.
Before going to start let's understand what is FIORI Analytical App.
What is FIORI Analytical App?
Analytical apps are used to provide role-based real-time information about business operations. Analytical apps integrate the power of SAP HANA with SAP business suite. It provides real-time information from a large volume of data in the front-end web browsers.
Using Analytical apps, you can closely monitor Key Performance Indicators KPIs. You can perform complex aggregations and calculations of your business operations and react immediately as per the changes in the market condition.
SAP Fiori Analytical apps run on SAP HANA database and use Virtual data models.
There are two types of Analytical Apps −
- SMART Business
- Virtual Data Models
SMART Business
SAP Fiori smart business apps are used to monitor your most important KPIs in real-time and to make changes as per market conditions immediately.
Note − There are around 84 Analytical apps under this umbrella and out of these, you have 69 apps are smart business apps and rest 15 are Analytical Apps.
What is a KPI Modeler?
It is a tool used to model KPI and report tiles for monitoring the business data using Fiori Launchpad. You can define KPIs and reports to which you can apply different calculations and it enables you to make adjustments according to changing market conditions. You can configure drill-down views.
SAP HANA Live provides exceptional capability analytics for all business suite by enabling industry-standard access to SAP data through data models.
