Function documentationPlanning View Generation (Optional)

 

This activity is optional.

You can use report FCOM_GEN_VIEW to generate a dummy proxy view within the financials add-on for SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA package sap.hba.sfin700,

Financial planning data in SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA is stored in the Business Warehouse (BW) real-time InfoCube /ERP/SFIN_R01 and could be used by other applications. It would be possible to access plan data by providing an analytic HANA view within the SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA Financial Planning content. However, this content is not available before content activation, so external SAP applications cannot rely on the existence of this HANA view, resulting in generation errors.

The dummy proxy view that you generate in package sap.hba.sfin700 is simply an interface for external applications and does not provide any data. After content generation, the dummy proxy is exchanged for a full proxy view that delivers plan data.
