Background documentation Recommendations for Modeling the Data Flow Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

We recommend you model the data flow in accordance with a data warehouse layer architecture.

For information on a layer architecture, see Architecture of a Data Warehouse.

You do not have to implement all four layers but can decide which structure best suits your needs.

Questions that are central to making this decision include:

     Does the data come from heterogeneous source systems and therefore need to be consolidated first?

     Do I need the data for operational reporting?

     What questions do I want to answer in reporting?
