Tips for other Fiori Apps 

Some Fiori apps have dependencies that need to be configured.  Make sure you read the Fiori Apps Library configuration information and the App Documentation, especially:

• Check for dependent apps including reuse components
• If the app uses attachments, check the Attachment Services have been activated
• If the app can use Default Values, check the Default Values have been activated
• Many apps depend on currency - understand S/4HANA Currency Setup

• For Fiori app Create Purchase Requisitions, how to configure the catalog can be found in SAP Note 2214564 - Configuration guide for Self Service Procurement scenario in S/4HANA and check the Default Settings for Users app has been activated
