In This Session ...
We will discuss leveraging SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence

(SAP NetWeaver BI) for Order-to-Cash (OTC) and Requisition-toPay (RTP) reporting and analysis
We will introduce SAP Best Practices for Business Intelligence
and evaluate the Sales, Purchasing, and Inventory Analysis
scenarios
We will focus on the back-end data acquisition and data modeling
aspects
We will gain an understanding of the applicable standard SAP
ERP data sources, extract structures, underlying SAP tables, and
their relationship to SAP NetWeaver BI DataStore Objects and
InfoCubes
We will address incorporating SAP NetWeaver BI within an
Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) framework

Pricing Procedures and Subtotal Key Figures
Six subtotal key figures included by default

SAP Best Practice Leverage subtotal key figures to align with
Finance/Controlling
Suggested Retail Value
Gross Sales
Subtotal fields
Product-Related Discounts
should include
components to
Customer-Related Allowances
get from Gross to
Returns
Net Sales
Freight and Handling
Accruals

See SAP Note 155012 in order to add additional subtotal fields
39
Pricing Procedures and Subtotal Key Figures (cont.)
Six subtotal key figures included by default

Provides ability to compare
SAP Best Practice
sales values with
Suggested Retail Value
external/syndicated
Point of Sale (POS) data
Gross Sales
Product-Related Discounts
By default, Subtotal 1
represents Gross Sales,
Customer-Related Allowances
however it includes Returns
Returns
Discounts, Allowances, and
Freight and Handling
Returns are typically negative
so Net Sales is calculated by
Net Sales
adding the key figures
Net Sales is included in the

standard DataSources as an
independent field and not a
subtotal value
40
Slowly Changing Dimensions
Dynamic/Current View vs. Historical View

Navigational Attributes
Provides attribute of
characteristic at current
point in time (Dynamic View)
Material Group Historic View
Dimension Characteristics
Material Type Dynamic View
Provides characteristic at
Product Hierarchy Historic and
transaction point in time
Dynamic View
Time-Dependent Attributes
Provides ability to report on attributes at any point in time
Very flexible, however also has significant performance
impacts
>> Denotes InfoObject as Navigational Attribute
41
Currency Conversion
Default currency for DataSources is typically Document Currency

SAP Best Practices scenarios often apply conversion through
routines in Update Rules
Alternate methods of currency conversion include:
Conversion at Query Run-Time
Conversion in Transformation or Update Rules (3.x)
f Using Translation Types
f Using User Defined Routines
Custom ABAP in DataSources

Material Master Classification View
Primarily used when searching for materials

Characteristic values entered into the classes for each material
can be searched to identify materials with like attributes
Very powerful functionality but requires significant effort to
identify and create characteristics and classes and enter the
corresponding values

Aligning SAP and Non-SAP Data
There are many ways to integrate non-SAP data into an SAP

NetWeaver BI environment
DB Connect
UD Connect
Flat File
XML
BAPI
DB Connect typically provides
better performance than UD
Connect, however it requires
a Windows-based application server in order to connect to
Microsoft SQL Server
UD Connect offers the flexibility to connect to a wide array of
sources including relational data sources, OLE DB for OLAP data
sources, and XMLA-capable data providers
85
Top 10 Recommendations Within EDW Framework
Activate the full spectrum of InfoObject (IO) DataSources

from the beginning to gain understanding of available
master data
Conform dimensions across InfoCubes
Align characteristics prior to loading into SAP NetWeaver BI
Consistently leverage DSOs
Create distinct DSOs and InfoCubes for non-SAP data
Leverage both logical and physical partitioning to enhance
loading and query performance
Always leverage MultiProviders to provide a consolidated view of
homogeneous and heterogeneous InfoProviders
* EDW Enterprise Data Warehouse
86
Top 10 Recommendations Within EDW Framework (cont.)
Include a Counter InfoObject in all line item DSOs and

InfoCubes
Include Suggested Retail Value in sales key figures so
that its easier to compare amounts with consumption data
Leverage a custom Date dimension to account for dates not
included in Time dimension and maintain a custom Date
characteristic InfoObject to handle special calendars

7 Key Points to Take Home
There are a wide range of opportunities to leverage SAP

NetWeaver BI to enhance your reporting and analytical
capabilities
SAP Best Practices for Business Intelligence is an excellent
starting point, but not necessarily a production-ready solution
Activation of SAP Best Practices scenarios and standard
business content in sandbox or a development environment does
not mean that it has to move to production
Implement DataStore Objects consistently and at the line item
level to provide an effective data staging layer
90
7 Key Points to Take Home (cont.)
Leverage master data views to conform dimensions across

subject areas
Understand implications of modeling InfoObjects as
characteristics of dimensions vs. navigational attributes
Leverage pricing procedure subtotal key figures to provide a
breakdown from gross to net sales and to ensure alignment with
Finance and Controlling (FI/CO)
