Front-End Server: Define SAPClient Business Parameter in SAP Fiori Launchpad Designer

During setup of the Fiori Launchpad using SAP Fiori Launchpad Designer, you must define the business parameter SAPClient as the client that you use to store your business data in the SAP HANA back-end server.

To define this parameter, proceed as follows:

  1. Launch SAP Fiori Launchpad Designer in customizing scope.

  2. From the catalog list, choose the SAP_SFIN_TC_A catalog or any custom catalog that contains the Profit Analysis tile.

  3. Choose the Profit Analysis tile.

  4. Under Navigation, in the Parameters field, enter SAPClient=<sap_client>, where <sap_client> is the number of the client that you use to store your business data (for example, SAPClient=800).

  5. Save your entries.

Back-End Server: Create Hierarchy of Cost Element Groups

To read your data correctly in the SAP HANA back-end server, you must define a cost element group that represents a hierarchy of revenue and costs in the ABAP back-end server.

To create the hierarchy, proceed as follows:

  1. Create a cost element group as the root node of the hierarchy.

  2. Under the root node, create another cost element group for revenue accounts.

  3. Under the revenue group, enter the cost elements that belong to the categories Revenues (11) and Sales Deduction (12).

  4. At the same level as the revenue group, create one or more cost element groups for cost accounts, depending on the desired granularity (for example, you can create one group for Direct Costs and another for Indirect Costs).

  5. Under each of the cost groups that you have created, create a cost element group for each of the cost subtypes that you use (for example, Packaging).

  6. Under each of the cost subtypes that you have created, enter the relevant cost elements.

An example of the resulting hierarchy is depicted in the following figure:
