PAPM extractor

[former_member638651]

Dear Experts, Our client will implement SAP PAPM and wants to extract data to bring it to BW4Hana using ODP extractors. The data to be extracted corresponds to the processes: Variable Industrial Costs, Expenses , Taxes / Others Discounts, Others Non Allocated by SKU / Customer / Plant.

My questions are:

- Are there standard PAPM extractors to BW4?

- If there are no standard extractors, what would be the best option to extract the data?

- From SAP PAPM can a process be carried out to generate ADSOs?

Thanks.

The business data aggregation capabilities of PaPM enable the integration of operational systems and data warehouses at high speed with little or no data replication.

if you still need to replicate from a BW or a source system, please review the user guide, where you can find the deployment & replication options that suits you best >>> SAP Profitability and Performance Management User Guide

In a nutshell, PaPM uses the official application interfaces from the SAP or nonSAP applications for data read access, for example CDS views, from SAP HANA or SAP S/4HANA, open ODS views from SAP BW or BW/4HANA.

The following blog gives a broad perspective on the integration architecture of PaPM. SAP Profitability and Performance Management: A unique integration with SAP BPC and SAP Analytics Cl...

The solution uses SAP Business Warehouse capabilities as an underlying Tool-BW in standalone scenarios. This includes relevant applications for management and maintenance of the BW and reusing Business Warehouse objects in integrated scenarios:

1. InfoObjects with master data and hierarchies - The Environment function allows you to maintain managed InfoObjects and fields referring to BW managed InfoObjects.

2. Data Store Objects (Advanced) - The Model BW function allows you to maintain managed ADSOs and to refer to BW managed DSOs and ADSOs.

3. InfoCubes - The Model BW function allows you to refer to BW managed InfoCubes.

4. BW Queries - The Query function allows you to maintain managed queries and to refer to BW managed queries.

5. Process Chains - Process chains are generated automatically to control the vertical parallelization of functions involved in an activity.

6. Open ODS Views - Open ODS views are generated automatically on top of nearly all functions to enable the analytic report screen.

7. Data Transfer Processes - The Data Transfer Process can be used to store data in BW objects.

8. Characteristics-based Authorization - BW characteristics-based authorization is used to secure and restrict access to data (for example, by legal entity or product group)

Kindly advise if this helps to address your topic and accept the answer.
