Evaluating the Project Data in the Business Information Warehouse 

Purpose

You are the project leader / project controller and you require for project data a meeting. To do this, you transfer data from your R/3 System into the Business Information Warehouse System (BW) using predefined InfoCubes.

You analyze the date of the SAP Business Information Warehouse using the Business Explorer Browser, from which you can call up various reports (queries). The information displayed in Excel is summarized in the background from the datasets.

To find out more about this process, see the SAP Library for the Business Information Warehouse.

For information about the Project System , see Business Content ® Project Management.

Prerequisites

You can only run this process since release BW2.1C.

You need a project. You load the data into your BW System. If you do not create your own project, you should use the data contained in the standard project T-20301.

In addition to your user ID in the IDES R/3 System, you will require a user ID for your BW System.

The following roles must be assigned to your user in the BW System:
