Hi,
I just joined a project where we are implementing BPC 10.1 unified environment. We have a large number of complex "custom" report requirements.
These reports would be based on data available in sFIN 1.0 SP3 which is being implemented parallely. We are using AO as the frontend tool for reporting and input forms.
I am trying to understand the development steps that should be performed to create a "custom" report that shows measures, characteristics, hierarchies , navigation attributes etc.
Here is my understanding of the steps. Could you gurus please review and confirm if my understanding of how reports should be created in BPC 10.1 unified? My current understanding is BW layer is used mostly in a "virtual" way reading HANA views.
1) HANA Attribute View creation (Information model that holds all needed fields (Attributes, Texts, Navigation atts) except hierarchies)
2) Create Master data Infoobjects and map to HANA View and respective fields.
3) For Hierarchies, Create/Use virtual class to read ECC hierarchies (example for Profit Center). Update setting in master data infoobject.
4) HANA Analytic and Calc view creation that combines master and transaction data
4) Create BI Infoprovider , map to calculation view.
5) Create Multiprovider if needed
7) Create BEx query on multiprovider
8) Create AO workbook on BEx multiprovider
It will be great if you can also highlight what purpose each of these layers could achieve .
Thanks,
Anya
