About SAP Business Warehouse (BW) at Duke


In addition to the financial reporting functions available in SAP R/3, the SAP Business Warehouse (BW) product is available as a tool for more advanced reporting options at Duke. BW is a data warehouse and contains tables of data that can be used for ad hoc reporting, either to view existing standard queries or to build queries. Financial and procurement data are loaded into BW tables from the real-time SAP R/3 system on a nightly basis (SAP R/3 is an On-line Transaction Processing software OLTP). So while the data in BW is not updated real-time, there is only a one-day lag (SAP BW is an Online Analytical Processing software OLAP). The BW tool uses an Excel Add-in, known as Business Explorer (BEx) to view the results of the query and manipulate the report to analyze the data in various ways that are not available in R/3. In addition, BW allows departments to view all their cost objects (Cost Centers, Profit Centers, and WBS Elements/Projects) in one report. Most reports for the University and School of Medicine (Company Code 0010) in R/3 allow for reporting on only one kind of cost object at the time.

Once the desired BFR Code / Org. Unit node is found, doubleclick on the node (on left side) to display the node under Selected Hierarchy Nodes (on the right side replaces the defaulted SOM node). Note: The recommended selection is a mid or lower level node (BFR Code/Org. Unit) for your organizational hierarchy. All BFR Code/Org. Unit levels are indicated with the symbol. The symbol displays beside the 7 digit cost object once youve reached the bottom BFR Code / Org. Unit level, and may not be the best choice for this type of query. In other words, the report is better for the BFR Code/Org. Unit levels versus single 7 digit cost objects.

4. Note the following about the actual results (bottom section) for this Fund Trial Balance query: This query uses the Duke Cost Object table (CODUKEORG) which combines all four major cost objects in one place for reporting - Cost Centers, Profit Centers, Projects/WBS Elements, and Internal Orders. The cost objects are displayed in one super hierarchy, which provides a consolidated view of the entire organizations financial activity. The hierarchy levels are displayed in Column A and B with the Twistee buttons and some may already be expanded to display the Duke Cost Object level. Do not use the Twistee buttons to open the hierarchy levels individually as this is time consuming - the hierarchy can be easily expanded or removed, and other formatting can be adjusted (see Other Navigation Tools for Queries). The format for the lowest level Duke Cost Objects in Column A is displayed as the technical name, is not useful, and can be removed (see Other Navigation Tools for Queries). For example, a cost center such as 1573147 is listed as KSDUKE0001573147, and a Project/ WBS Element such as 7473100 is listed as nothing meaningful, like PD0001157. The meaningful 7 digit value for Duke Cost Object is listed in the Cost Object column in the example used above the values of 1573147 or 7473100 (WBS Plant fund) are shown. See the Cost Object column for the meaningful 7 digit Cost Object (fund code) value. Note: Other options for analyzing data are also available, such as the ability to drill-down by the items listed in Column A at the top of the screen, such as Commitment item (term for Cost Element or G/L Account), Fiscal Period, Fund Group, Fund Categories, etc. See the Other Navigation Tools for Queries section of this Guide for more details.

Other Navigation Tools for Queries


To navigate between BW/BEx and other applications using Alt + Tab Keys: When using the BW/BEx tool, along with other applications, BEx may appear to lock up in windows as you are moving between different applications. In other words, you may not be able to use the Windows Start Bar to move between or minimize/maximize the BEx screens on your desktop. This usually occurs when a query or workbook selection window is open, like when you are entering selections for the Fund Trial Balance report and then navigate to another application. When you return via the Start Bar, the selection box may just be a white blank box on the screen. This section covers steps on how to work around this situation.

When using BEx, if you are opening a query or workbook, the selection screen box is open, and you navigate away to another application, you may not be able to get to the selection screen box again via the Start bar. The box will be a blank white box. Use Alt + Tab keys to find (see below).

1. 2. 3. 4.

Depress the Alt key with your thumb and hold while doing the next step. Use another finger to click on the Tab key once to view a menu of all open window applications. While continuing to depress the Alt key, tap on the Tab key with another finger and scroll through the open windows. Release both keys at once to select and go to a window (example the icon that has the name of the query or workbook, like Fund Trial Balance).
