Step 1: Open custom catalog extensions
Open Custom Catalog Extensions application on your SAP Fiori launchpad (SAP S/4HANA Cloud system).
Step 2: Find and select application
Search your application and select it.
The ID of your application is the combination of the name that you gave when deploying it from SAP Cloud Platform to S/4HANA Cloud including the prefix YY1_ plus the suffix _UI5R. It is of type Custom UI App.
Step 3: Extend business catalog
Press Add to start extending the business catalog that the new app shall be part of.
A pop up opens for catalog selection. Be aware, that users that shall be able to use the app must have a role with the same catalog assigned. As for this tutorial catalog SAP_CORE_BC_EXT is the essential prerequisite, we simply select that and press OK
The pop up has closed and the catalog extension got an entry in its list of used catalogs. Select that entry and press Publish
Step 4: Open custom UI App
Go to the Fiori Launchpad by pressing the Home button.
Press F5 to refresh your page and your new tile becomes visible.
Click it to open your new app developed with Web IDE.
The List Screen will open. As by default a list screen does not show the existing list entries you have to press the Go button to get these.
To get into the details screen of a Bonus Plan you can click its whole entry in the list.
