When an end user has been assigned a business role that grants access to only one specific application, and the app does not appear on the user's SAP Fiori Launchpad, the recommended action for the user is:

Use the search function to find the app: The search function on the SAP Fiori Launchpad allows users to locate applications by their name or related keywords. Even if the app is not immediately visible on the launchpad due to configuration issues or other reasons, using the search function can help the user access the app directly. This is a quick and effective way for users to access necessary applications when they encounter visibility issues on their launchpad.

Manual test cases for customer User Acceptance Testing are created in SAP Cloud ALM, a cloud-based application lifecycle management solution that supports SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition implementations. SAP Cloud ALM provides test management apps that allow consultants to document and track all testing activities for both manual and automated test cases in one location. Manual test cases are created in the Test Preparation app based on the finalized solution scope (business processes) and assigned to test plans in the Test Plans app. SAP Cloud ALM also integrates with the SAP S/4HANA Cloud test system and third-party test providers to execute and monitor automated test cases.Reference=Preparing Test Cases for User Acceptance Testing,Explaining the Test Strategy,User acceptance testing templates

SAP provides several tools to facilitate the maintenance of SAP S/4HANA Cloud systems following a release upgrade, ensuring that customers can smoothly transition to the latest functionalities and improvements:

What's New Viewer Tool: This tool is invaluable for understanding the changes and new features introduced with each SAP S/4HANA Cloud release. It provides detailed descriptions of new functionalities, improvements, and changes in the system, helping customers to adapt their processes and leverage new capabilities effectively. It serves as a guide to explore and understand the enhancements that come with each upgrade.

Test Automation Tool: Post-upgrade, it's crucial to ensure that existing functionalities continue to work as expected and new features are correctly implemented. The Test Automation Tool allows customers to automate testing of business processes, significantly reducing the time and effort required for testing after a release upgrade. This tool helps in identifying any issues arising from the upgrade early in the process, ensuring a smooth transition to the new release.

These tools are designed to assist customers in navigating the complexities of system upgrades, ensuring that they can make the most out of new features while maintaining their existing system's stability and performance.

Based on the SAP Activate methodology, the Explore phase is where consultants configure business processes based on the information gathered in the Fit-to-Standard workshops. The Fit-to-Standard analysis is conducted in a series of workshops and allows for validation of predefined scenarios agreed upon and to make room for enhancements or additional configuration required. To prepare for this workshop, it is recommended that teams get familiar with the SAP Best Practices content, including the process flows, test scripts with sample data, and other documentation available in SAP Best Practices Explorer. Consultants should also use the Test system to demonstrate SAP Best Practice processes and enable business users to run the end-to-end processes and identify any gaps. The other two activities, conducting the Digital Discovery Assessment and defining the organizational structure and chart of accounts, are part of the Prepare phase, not the Explore phase.Reference=SAP Activate -- Explore Phase: Use Fit-to-Standard to confirm business process fit and identify gaps in your SAP S/4HANA Cloud Implementation,SAP Explore Phase Activities: Define Target BP and Architecture,SAP Activate Elements and Phases,Explaining the Explore Phase
