Adapting the Model Level

 

If you need to adapt BI objects on the model level (InfoObjects, InfoProviders, and MultiProviders), you can use standard BW tools. However, to support you with the common use case that you want to include an additional field, we provide the model extension tool. This tool not only creates the required InfoObjects and maps them to the InfoProviders, it also creates the required HANA views.

You access the tool in Customizing under Start of the navigation path Controlling Next navigation step General Controlling Next navigation step Planning Next navigation step Setup for Planning Next navigation step Enhance InfoProviders with Additional Fields End of the navigation path.

Please refer to the customizing documentation.

Extending the Model Level for Reporting Purposes Only

If you want to extend the model for reporting purposes only, you just add the field to Virtual InfoProvider S/4HANA Financials: Actual Data from ACDOCA (/ERP/SFIN_V01).

Extending the Model Level for Reporting and Planning Purposes

If you want to extend the model also for planning purposes, extend the actual data provider (/ERP/SFIN_V01) as well but also extend your plan data provider:

  • If you store your plan data in the Real-Time InfoProvider S/4HANA Financials: InfoCube for Plan Data (/ERP/SFIN_R01), add the field to that InfoProvider.

  • If you store your plan data in the ACDOCP, add the field to Virtual InfoProvider S/4HANA Financials: Plan Data from ACDOCP (/ERP/SFIN_V20).

Additionally, add the field to the MultiProvider S/4HANA Financials: Plan and Actual Data (/ERP/SFIN_M01).
