OData Single Record Fetch, Conversion Exits & Inline Count Explained - V40
Creating an OData service is easy.
Making it behave like a real SAP API is the difficult part.
This video focuses on correctness — returning the right record, in the right format, with proper counts (exactly how Fiori expects).
You will learn:
🔹 Fetching a single record using keys (GET_ENTITY)
🔹 Difference between EntitySet vs Entity
🔹 Conversion routines (ALPHA, date, amount formatting)
🔹 Why leading zeros disappear in UI
🔹 Implementing Inline Count ($inlinecount / $count)
🔹 Supporting pagination scenarios
🔹 Common mistakes that break Fiori apps
After this video your service will stop behaving like a demo and start behaving like a real SAP standard API.
