Structure
Tasks in the Business Information Warehouse
In the BW Business Content the aggregated costs are available for analysis in the form of cost component splits for reasons of greater clarity. You can use the SAP R/3 detail reports to analyze how the planned costs are affected by changes to the product structure and by changes in the prices of materials and activities (for example by using the itemization).
In the section Use in the relevant InfoCubes, check whether the workbooks can be used in your company:
