BW solutions covering Account Receivables process

Account Receivable solution in BW cover the need of HUB units requested during the
financial decommissioning in BP.
The solution in BW was not created to replace the exiting reporting solution covered by
Blue Planet but to answer specific reporting need.
Based on these need specific solutions were created.
Not all the data available in each SAP tables was transferred from BP to BW.
During the presentation you will see which data and from which source these data are
available.

Account Receivable reporting need were split in two parts based on the solutions of data
needed:

AR solution: Multicube Customer Line item

Multicube ZXFIARMC1

AR-GL solution : Account Receivable and General ledger


Multicube ZFIGLARM1

Note: Account Receivable solution deployed in BW covers the need requested by major
Alcatel-Lucent units during the financial decommissioning of Concerto DWH (ERs 21072253-2735 for AR, ERs 2108-2441 for AR-GL).
BW AP solution was not created to replace the exiting reporting solution covered by Blue

BW Authorization Variables
Authorization variables
Due to the new authorization philosophy in BW Version 7.0, when an
authorization relevant object is inserted in an infoprovider, it is automatically
activated for all solutions based on this infoprovider.
The authorization checks activated for one solution (ex. For InfoObject
Company code)

will become homogeneous FOR ALL INFOPROVIDERS and for ALL QUERIES
(cubes/multicubes/ODS) based on the same solution.

BW Authorization Variables
Authorization variables in new Local queries

Local queries must contain all the info-objects (characteristics)


relevant for authorisation activated in the infoprovider.

No automatic embedding of authorization objects exist.


At time of creation of new local queries key users can follow one of these
options :
1. Create a new local query based on the Template of Query created for each
Financial solutions (the template include the authorization objects);
2. Create a new local query based on existing Central Reports (available in Bex
menu);
3. Create a new local query directly from the infoprovider and add manually all the
authorization variables activated.
