Custom Business object as alternative?

Alessandro Spadoni - 05/19/2025 - 12:52

Thanks for this very useful article! I shared with my colleagues and it works like a charm. Do you think in this scenario where we don't need Transport, the key user "Custom Business Object "could be a valid alternative without the need of any manual adjustments? the "cons" is that we need to generate a new fiori app for every new object...

You could also use the Key User App for this purpose. Unfortunately, access from ABAP Cloud is only possible via API because it was created in a different language version. Currently, the application is generated using BOPF, so implementing validations and determinations isn't that easy. The question is whether you want to learn BOPF until RAP is also available for custom business objects.

And as you said, you always need an UI and you have to maintain it (Lifecycle in Git, etc.).
