BI content for ERP on Hana (Embedded BI scenario)

[Former Member]

Hi Experts

We now run ERP on Hana and we plan to use the BW framework (embedded BI) inside the ERP system for reporting and analysis. The reason for not connecting directly to the Hana database is because we need the support for hierarchies. Therefore we plan to create virtual cubes or composite providers on top of Hana Live views.

So, first we need to activate the info objects that hold the hierarchies we need (profit center, gl account, and so on). Normal old BI content is set up to be loaded with data from the ERP system, but now we actually are in the ERP system. Is there some new BI content available where the master data of the info object is mapped directly toward a Hana Live view? Or do we need to create our own new info objects, as copies of the standard, mapping them our self against Hana Live views?    

Kind regards

Erik

Hi Erik,

it depends what kind of ERP system you are using, but check if you can find info objects starting with namespace /ERP/*, for example /ERP/PROFTCTR for profit center.

From my understanding they directly access the ERP master data tables (attributes, tets and hierarchies) via master data read classes.

Best regards,
