Hello everyone, in this blog post i would like to share step-by-step guide on how to enable SAP Easy Access Menu for Fiori Launchpad in S4HANA
SAP Easy Access Menu in Fiori Launchpad for S/4 HANA
In my recent project assignment i was asked to enable SAP Easy Access Menu for Fiori Launchpad.
At first i was not sure about the approach, after spending some time on internet and going through SAP best practice guides i am able to show the SAP Easy Access Menu (or) SMEN transaction with some hick-ups during the implementation.
The SAP Menu and the User Menu are also known as the SAP Easy Access Menus
Step-by-Step Procedure
1. Log On to SAP Gateway system if the Fiori deployment is Hub, in case of embedded deployment log-on to the system in which SAP_UI component is installed (..in my case it is Hub deployment S4HANA system as backend system and SAP Gateway as Front End Server).
2. Launch Activate and Maintain Services transaction using the tcode – /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE. (..don’t forget to add /n in-front of the tcode)
3. Activate below OData services
| /UI2/EASY_ACCESS_MENU | Easy Access Menu service |
| /UI2/USER_MENU | User Menu service |
