Own Analytical and Planning ApplicationsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

You can create your own applications in a Floorplan Manager application in FPM and display query results. Depending on the selected parameters, this application can be called by URL or from the launchpad. (See Calling List Report on Analytic Query Application from Launchpad and Calling List Report on Analytic Query Application By URL.)

Examples

You can build analytical and planning applications, from simple to complex. Note that the list below is not exhaustive.

  • Application with an analytics list component without a variable dialog

    This application contains one single analytics list component.

    A prerequisite of this scenario is that the analytic query to be displayed either contains no mandatory variables, or all the mandatory variables were already filled with default values.

  • Application with analytics list component, analytics chart component, and variable dialog

    The results of the different queries are usually displayed in the list and chart.

    In this scenario, it is important that the analytics search component is configured with the two queries that are displayed in the list and chart component. The variables dialog merges the variables of all queries. In other words, variables that are used in more than one query are displayed only once.

  • Application with one variables dialog and multiple analytics list components to display multiple queries

    In this scenario, it is important that the analytics search component is configured with the list of all the queries that are displayed in the list components. The variables dialog merges the variables of all queries. In other words, variables that are used in more than one query are displayed only once.

  • Simple planning application

    This application consists of an input-enabled analytics list component, a button for planning functions/sequences, and an analytics search component that displays the variables of the queries and planning functions/sequences. It is important that the analytics search component is configured with the query and the list of planning functions, filters, and planning sequences. You can then, for example, enter the revaluation factor for a revaluation function on the search screen.

  • Advanced planning application

    Consists of one or more input-enabled queries for planning and one or more read-only queries to display the planning result or make plan-actual comparisons and buttons for planning functions/sequences. In this scenario, you can have multiple search components, one for the selection variables of the queries and one for the planning function variables. This allows you to distinguish between variables that are required centrally when starting the applications and variables that are only required when a planning function/sequence is executed.

Features

The following analytical components are part of the standard SAP delivery:

  • List Component

    Displays the results list of an analytic query

    See Analytics List Component.

  • Hierarchical List Component with Analytics Feeder Class

    Certain analytic queries can be displayed as hierarchical lists.

    See Hierarchical List Component with Analytics Feeder Class.

  • Chart Component

    Displays the results list of an analytic query in graphic form.

    See Chart Component.

  • Analytics Search Component with Analytics Feeder Class

    Displays the BW variable dialog.

    See Analytics Search Component with Analytics Feeder Class.

  • Planning Functions or Planning Sequences

    These are executed by FMP events.

  • Application Controller

    The application controller WDC_BS_ANLY_APPCONTROLLER is a central module that controls the interaction between the different components and events.

Note

You can use more than one analytics list components, hierarchical list components, chart components, and analytic search components in any one application. All components are optional, except for the generic application controller, for instance WDC_BS_ANLY_APPCONTROLLER.
