What are SAP Fiori Reference Apps?


The SAP Fiori Reference Apps are sample applications that help developers and designers with their development projects.

  • Developers
    Both new and experienced SAP Fiori developers can see real working code and live examples covering all layers end-to end. They go far beyond typical "Hello World" examples and aim to provide best practices.

  • Designers
    UX Designers can find examples of how SAP Fiori patterns and controls are being implemented in typical use cases and discover the interaction flow of typical SAP Fiori business apps. They can see how the individual controls function in a live scenario.


The SAP Fiori Reference Apps demonstrate the development and UX Design guidelines and best practices applicable to the SAP Fiori development lifecycle. This covers the entire end-to-end process from design and technology to coding principles, from OData modeling to implementation, as well as selected product standards such as performance, and extensibility. The SAP Fiori Reference Apps are based on the Enterprise Procurement Model (EPM).
