Internal and External Driving Dimensions

Business Planning and Consolidation reuses the InfoObjects that are delivered with SAP Business Warehouse. Some of these InfoObjects may not have the performer and reviewer properties defined, therefore they cannot be used directly for driving dimensions. We recommend that you use the following workaround:

1. Create a new InfoObject that has the same structure as the InfoObject delivered by SAP.
2. Maintain the performer and reviewer properties in the newly created InfoObject.
3. When choosing the driving dimension, choose the External Dimensions radio button to display the dimensions of your manually created InfoObject.
4. Choose the required driving dimension.
5. The Map Driver to dropdown list displays the InfoObjects delivered by SAP. Select the dimension to which you want to map the driving dimension of the activity.

After you perform these steps, you can select the required performers and reviewers for the activity.
