HANA Server: Assign SAP HANA Roles to Users and Roles

You can find the data required to perform this step in the SAP Fiori apps reference library at https://www.sap.com/fiori-apps-libraryInformation published on SAP site.

SAP HANA Role

Needed for ...

sap.hba.r.sfin700.roles::SapSmartBusinessControlling

Read access to KPI data (views and XS OData services)

As a prerequisite for read-access to KPI definition, ensure you have assigned the generic role Smart Business Runtime Role (sap.hba.r.sb.core.roles::SAP_SMART_BUSINESS_RUNTIME) to all users or roles.

As a prerequisite for KPI modeling, ensure you have assigned the generic role Smart Business Administration Role (sap.hba.r.sb.core.roles::SAP_SMART_BUSINESS_MODELER) to specific users (e.g. key user, administrator).

HANA Server: Generate and Assign Analytic Privileges to Users and Roles

You can find the KPI data required to perform these steps in the SAP Fiori apps reference library at https://www.sap.com/fiori-apps-libraryInformation published on SAP site.

Needed for

How to generate?

Access to KPI data (only views)

To be generated by the customer using SAP HANA Live Authorization Assistant.

Access to KPI definition in KPI catalog

To be assigned by the customer using SAP Smart Business modeler app Manage KPI Authorizations.

HANA Server: Generate Planning View

The apps use planning data for comparison, for example, between planned and actual net profit margin. To enable the use of planning data with the app, you must generate a planning view in the SAP HANA server.

Back-End Server: Create Hierarchies of Cost Element Groups

To read your data correctly in the SAP HANA back-end server, you must create hierarchies for cost element groups in the ABAP back-end server. The hierarchies must consist of exactly two levels of groups and cover the following key figures, which are relevant to the KPIs available in this Smart Business cockpit:

  • Revenue

  • Sales deductions

  • Direct costs

  • Indirect costs

To create each hierarchy, proceed as follows:

  1. Create a cost element group for your key figure.

  2. Under that group, create at least one or more cost element groups for the key figure account subtypes, depending on the desired granularity (for example, for revenue you can create one group for “Interest”and another for “Sales”).

  3. Under each of the subtypes that you create, enter the relevant cost elements (for example, for interest revenue you can enter a cost element for “Interest on Loans”).

An example of the resulting hierarchies is given in the following figure:
