SAP BW Reporting: Everything You Want to Know

Business intelligence tools are intended to support users in understanding the enterprise performance and to help users make appropriate decisions based on their understanding. One critical aspect here that the user should note is the need to give all users an equal insight into the enterprise—an insight based on consistent data and standard analytical definitions. For consistent enterprise control, a unified view of information for all users is indispensable. On the one hand, this is achieved by the SAP Business Information Warehouse (SAP BW) functionality for extraction and data warehousing via a consistent data basis. Conversely, queries can provide a unified and flexible analysis platform according to the Single Point of Truth concept. This means that within an enterprise, a piece of information (or a dataset) exists once as a reference and cannot be falsified by locally changed variants. Essentially, a query is a database research action with interesting additional functionality like currency scenarios, complex calculation options, and analysis functions.

In this e-book (116 pages) you will find in-depth notes about SAP BW Reporting tools. See the covered content below:

  • Reporting Agent
  • SAP BI 7.0 Reporting Tools
  • Business Explorer (BEx Browser, BEx Query Designer, BEx Map)
  • Query Designer
  • BEx Web Application Designer
  • Chart Designer

SAP Inventory Planning and Monitoring Manual

The Materials Management module includes two sub-modules; procurement and inventory management. Inventory management entails the planning and control of material stocks by quantity and value. It also includes the planning, data entry and documentation of all goods movements to, from, and within the storage locations in the stock plant. Any transaction that will cause a change of stock is entered in real time and the resulting update of the stock takes place immediately. This provides the user with an overview of the stock level of any material that is always current.
