The app consists of front-end components and back-end components. The back-end components and the front-end components are delivered in separate products and have to be installed in a system landscape that is enabled for SAP Fiori.
Before you can start to implement the app, ensure that your system landscape has been set up to enable SAP Fiori and that this system landscape already includes the front-end components and back-end components for your app:

Note
The SAP Smart Business for Retail Promotion Execution
analytical app is not released for MAC OS 10.8.
For more information about the installation of the front-end components, see Installation Requirements (Analytical Apps).
The SAP Smart Business for Retail Promotion Execution
analytical app uses 4 KPI tiles to launch the app.
These KPI tiles require evaluations that specify one or more input parameters. For more information about these configuration requirements, see
Configuration Settings: Overdue Issues in Promotions - Logistics Manager View
Configuration Settings: Overdue Issues in Promotions - In All Process Steps
Configuration Settings: Promotions Containing Issues
Configuration Settings: Total Issues in Promotions
Configuration Settings: Overdue Issues in Promotions - Per Area of Responsibility
For the SAP Smart Business for Retail Promotion Execution
app, the following SAP Notes must be implemented:
Note
To install and configure the SAP Smart Business for Retail Promotion Execution
app in a side-by-side scenario, some database tables that are used by the SAP Smart Business for Retail Promotion Execution
need to be replicated from the corresponding SAP Business Suite back-end system into the SAP HANA database. This is done using SAP Landscape Transformation Replication Server. SAP Note 2063409 contains the list of these tables.
In an integrated scenario, it is not necessary to create and replicate database tables, as they are already available in the SAP HANA database.
For the SAP Smart Business for Retail Promotion Execution
app, the following SAP Notes needs to be implemented if you want to use the Insight to Action feature:
Back-End/Front-End Server | SAP Note Number | Description |
---|---|---|
Backend Server | Smart Business Fiori app Promotion Execution Cockpit – Insight to Action |
The following sections list tasks that have to be performed to implement the SAP Smart Business for Retail Promotion Execution
app. The tables contain the app-specific data required for these tasks.
You can find the data required to perform these tasks in the SAP Fiori apps reference library at

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).

Precondition: ITo assign analytic privileges from the backend, you first need to have defined PFCG roles in the backend. In most cases, these PFCG roles are already defined so that the users in the backend have access to only the organizational units for which they are responsible. The SAP Smart Business for Retail Promotion Execution
app evaluates the following authorization objects of the SAP Business Suite backend
W_WAKH_EKO
: IS-R Auth. promotion: Purchasing Organization/Purch. Group
W_WAKH_VKO
: IS-R Auth. Promotion: Sales Organization/Distrib. Channel
You need to select the following query views during the creation of the analytic privileges, so that the users of the SAP Smart Business for Retail Promotion Execution
can see all the information they are authorized:
sap.hba.apps.rtl.s.v.RetailPromnPrepIssuesQuery
sap.hba.r.rtl.v.RetailPromnPrepIssuesTileQuery
sap.hba.apps.rtl.s.v.RetailPromnProcessStepsQuery

The SAP Fiori launchpad is the entry point to SAP Fiori apps. From a user perspective, it displays those SAP Fiori apps that have been assigned to the catalog designed for this user's role.
This presupposes that an administrator has made the necessary assignments in the launchpad designer to enable a user's access to the respective SAP Fiori apps in the SAP Fiori launchpad. For more information, see Setup of Catalogs, Groups, and Roles in the SAP Fiori Launchpad.
SAP delivers technical catalogs for groups of SAP Fiori apps as repositories to create your own catalogs in the launchpad designer. Along with these catalogs, more technical content is delivered for each SAP Fiori app. You can find the delivered technical content for each SAP Fiori app in the SAP Fiori apps reference library.
You must assign OData service authorizations for the KPI to your users.
Caution
Several authorization default values are connected to the OData service. To ensure that all these default values are assigned to a user, you have to follow the instructions given under the documentation links provided.
Make the assignment on the back-end server and on the front-end server:
On the back-end server, a dedicated authorization role (PFCG role) for the OData service is delivered as an example. You can copy this role and adjust it to your needs.
For more information, see Back-End Server: Assign OData Service Authorization to Users.
On the front-end server, you must assign the OData service authorization to a new or existing role, such as a business role that has been adjusted according to your needs.
For more information, see Add Start Authorizations for OData Services to Role on Front-End and Front-End Server: Assign Roles to Users.
OData Service (Version Number) | Back-end Server: Delivered Authorization Role (PFCG Role) | Front-End Server: AuthorizationRole |
---|---|---|
| No specific role available. | Use an existing role or create a new one. |
Note
The OData service INSIGHT_TO_ACTION_PROMO_ODATA_SRV
mentioned above is used to trigger the insight-to-action feature “List All”.
The authorizations that are needed to execute transaction Promotion Listing
(WAK18
) in the Business Suite are sufficient to execute the OData service INSIGHT_TO_ACTION_PROMO_ODATA_SRV
. As an example for a PFCG role, you can use SAP_ISR_PROMOTION
.
For a user to execute the INSIGHT_TO_ACTION_PROMO_ODATA_SRV
OData service, he or she must also have the authorization to execute the RFC in the Gateway system.
