Before you can start to implement the app, ensure that your system landscape has been set up to enable SAP Fiori. This also implies that the front-end components and back-end components for your app are already available in this system landscape:

.The Margin Analysis
analytical app uses an app launcher tile to launch the app.
For the Margin Analysis
app, the following SAP Notes must be implemented:

The following sections list tasks that have to be performed to implement the Margin Analysis
app. The tables contain the app-specific data required for these tasks.

Access to business data (only views) | To be generated by the customer using |
The Authorization Assistant tool assigns analytic privileges to most of the views contained in role sap.hba.apps.sfin.s.roles::fiori_sfin
. For those views that start with sap.hba.ecc
, you must assign the privileges manually.
The app uses planning data for comparison, for example, between planned and actual revenue. To enable the use of planning data with the app, you must generate a planning view in the SAP HANA server. For more information, see SAP Library for the SAP Simple Finance add-on for SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA
on SAP Help Portal at .
The app retrieves planning records from the InfoCube /ERP/SFIN_R01
. These planning records must be assigned to fiscal periods and to the planning category MARAN_PLAN
.

The SAP Fiori launchpad is the entry point to apps. In the launchpad, the user can see and access those apps that have been assigned by an administrator to the catalog designed for this user's role.

and Configuring Authorization Roles
.

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:
Create a cost element group as the root node of the hierarchy.
Under the root node, create a cost element group for revenues.
Under the revenue group, enter the cost elements that belong to the revenues.
At the level of the revenue group, create a cost element group for direct costs and another for indirect costs.
Under each cost group, create a cost element group for each cost subtype that you use, for example, 'Marketing'.
Under each cost subtype, enter the relevant cost elements.
An example of the resulting hierarchy is depicted in the following figure:
During setup of the Fiori Launchpad using SAP Fiori Launchpad Designer, you must define the application-specific business parameters listed in the table below.
To define these parameters, proceed as follows:
Launch SAP Fiori Launchpad Designer in customizing scope.
From the catalog list, choose the SAP_SFIN_TC_A
catalog or any custom catalog that contains the Margin Analysis
tile.
Choose the Margin Analysis
tile.
Under Navigation
, in the Parameters
field, enter the required parameter.
Save your entries.
Repeat these steps for any further parameters.
The Margin Analysis
app requires the following mandatory parameters:
Technical Name | Description |
| SAP client |
| Root node of the cost element hierarchy |
| Revenue label in the cost element hierarchy |
| Direct cost label in the cost element hierarchy |
| Indirect cost label in the cost element hierarchy |
Note
The above parameters refer to the cost element hierarchy you have defined in the back-end system.
