Planned Enhancements

🔮 Planned Enhancements

The current version of the Fleet Management RAP Application demonstrates the end-to-end implementation of a Managed RAP BO with Vehicles, Trips, and Maintenance as core entities.
In future iterations, the application can be enhanced in the following ways:

---

1️⃣ UI Improvements

• Extend the standard Fiori Elements app with custom UI annotations for better usability.
• Add more filters and search options (e.g., search trips by driver or filter maintenance by service type).
• Provide tabular summaries (e.g., total maintenance cost per vehicle, trip count per driver).

---

2️⃣ Analytical Features

• Add CDS Analytical Annotations to enable reporting features such as totals and aggregations.
• Display basic KPIs like total maintenance cost or average trip distance.

---

3️⃣ Business Object Enhancements

• Extend the model with additional entities such as Driver Information or Fuel Consumption Tracking.
• Add more associations (e.g., linking trips with assigned drivers).

---

4️⃣ Technical Enhancements

• Implement Authorization Control using @AccessControl annotations to secure data access.
• Add Validation and Determinations in the Behavior Definition (e.g., preventing invalid dates, negative costs, or missing mandatory fields).
• Enable Draft Handling so that users can save changes temporarily before final submission.
• Introduce Unmanaged RAP BO for specific scenarios where custom business logic is required (e.g., calculating trip costs or handling maintenance validations in the behavior pool).

---

✅ Long-Term Direction

The application can gradually evolve into a more analytical and business-ready Fleet Management tool, combining both operational data entry (Trips, Maintenance, Vehicles) and insights (cost tracking, usage patterns) in a single RAP-based solution.
