SAP Exit (Delivered Variables) 

Use

The SAP Exit processing type is contained in variables delivered within the BI Content framework.

Integration

You can find the delivered variables in the Metadata Repository if you search for variables using the search function (see BI Metadata Search).

The technical names of delivered SAP objects always begin with a number.

Prerequisites

You must activate the delivered variables before you can use them. For more information on activating query objects, see Installing BI Content in the Active Version.

Features

SAP delivers a number of variables. There are variables that are processed via automatic replacement using a predefined replacement path (SAP Exit processing type).

If you want to define a query that only ever displays the data from the current month, drag the delivered variable “current month” (technical name 0CMONTH) for the characteristic “calendar year/month” (technical name 0CMONTH) into the query filter.

Activities

In the variables editor, choose the processing type SAP Exit from the General tab page.

You can only create variables with the processing type SAP Exit in SAP Systems. Customers cannot create variables with the processing type SAP Exit. For customers, the variables with SAP Exit are part of the delivered BI Content.
