First-hand knowledge. Reading Sample The Authors Index Contents “Work with SAP Extractors” Renjith Kumar Palaniswamy Operational Data Provisioning with SAP BW/4HANA 608 pages | 08/2023 | $89.95 | ISBN 978-1-4932-2406-7 www.sap-press.com/5676 This sample chapter describes how to work with extractors, which are ob- jects that reside in a source system and encapsulate extraction logic. These extractors are replicated to SAP BW/4HANA to create a link to the source system. In this chapter, you’ll learn about the available extractors, how they work, and how these operational data provisioning (ODP) extractors compa- re to previously available Service Application Interface (SAPI) extractors.
133 4 Chapter 4 Working with SAP Extractors This chapter discusses standard SAP extractors in different functional areas in logistics. You’ll learn about the extractor types and the differ- ences between them. When you want to extract data from any SAP ERP system into SAP BW/4HANA, you need extractors or DataSources that fetch and send data between the two systems. In this chapter, you’ll be introduced to the extractors in each functional area in Section 4.1. There are many extractors that are delivered across multiple functional areas, and each functional area has its own logic to send historical and delta records to SAP BW/4HANA using DataSources. You’ll learn about the types of SAP-delivered extractors in Section 4.2. You’ll explore the logistics Extractors in Section 4.2.1, where we’ll focus on logistics applications like sales and distribution, materials management, purchasing, plant maintenance, and so on. Then we’ll talk about the finance extractors in Section 4.2.2, with extractors for areas like accounts receivable, accounts payable, and the general ledger. Finally, we’ll look at human resources extractors in Section 4.2.3. Section 4.3 looks at generic extractors, and then you’ll learn about installing SAP Busi- nessObjects Business Intelligence (SAP BusinessObjects BI) content in Section 4.4. Once you complete the chapter, you’ll have a strong foundation for learning about data load- ing from SAP S/4HANA in later chapters. 4.1 Introduction to SAP Extractors This section covers types of SAP ERP systems and their associated SAP BusinessObjects BI content and discusses the availability of SAP extractors and DataSources. SAP ERP System and Extractors SAP BW/4HANA can be connected to SAP ERP and SAP S/4HANA. There have been major functional-level changes between these two systems, and new tables have replaced some old tables in SAP S/4HANA. The important SAP S/4HANA versions start from SAP S/4HANA 1610, which was released in May 2016, and the latest version is SAP S/4HANA 2022. Most of the SAP business content extractors that worked with SAP ERP are still used in SAP BW/4HANA. A few DataSources are depreciated with SAP
4 Working with SAP Extractors 134 S/4HANA. For some DataSources, alternatives have been provided in SAP S/4HANA. We’ll focus on the most common application areas here and their associated extractors, where most SAP BW reporting is used. To extract data from SAP ERP, many DataSources have been developed by SAP across multiple application components. These DataSources can be accessed using specific transactions in SAP S/4HANA or SAP ERP systems. For SAP BW systems, these Data- Sources have been updated and shipped using the BI_CONT add-on, which can be installed in SAP BW 7.X systems; for example, SAP BusinessObjects BI content 7.57 is the add-on for 7.5. It includes SAP HANA–optimized business content. When SAP BW/4HANA is used, you’ll see two new components: BW4CONT and BW4CONTB. BW4- CONTB contains objects like InfoAreas, application components, InfoObjects, and so on. BW4CONT has dataflows, aDSOs, CompositeProviders, InfoSources, and transfor- mations. You can see the BW4CONT component in Figure 4.1. Figure 4.1 BW4CONT and BW4CONTB Types of SAP extractors include the following: 쐍 Application-specific – Business content extractors—widely used – Customer-generated extractors—not used much with SAP S/4HANA 쐍 Cross-application – Generic extractors – Custom CDS views 4.2 SAP-Delivered Business Content Extractors For application-specific business content extractors, SAP delivers the business content completely, which means the DataSource is already developed by SAP. During the 135 4.2 SAP-Delivered Business Content Extractors 4 implementation, it’s enough to activate the DataSource and consume the data from the source system. SAP-delivered extractors include logistics extractors, finance extractors, and HR extractors. Let’s look at these extractors in detail in the following sections. 4.2.1 Logistics Extractors SAP has delivered many DataSources to extract data from logistics-based applications, including the following functional applications: 쐍 Sales and distribution 쐍 Purchasing 쐍 Materials management 쐍 Shop floor control 쐍 Quality management 쐍 Plant maintenance 쐍 Invoice verification The DataSources can be accessed from Transaction LBWE in SAP S/4HANA (the Logis- tics Cockpit), which has information about all logistics DataSources. Each logistics application is identified with a unique two-digit number, as you can see in Figure 4.2. Figure 4.2 LO Cockpit When you expand any application component number, you can see the details of the extractors that are delivered by SAP under Extract Structures, as shown in Figure 4.3.
4 Working with SAP Extractors 136 Figure 4.3 Extractors in LO Cockpit Application component 11, SD Sales BW, which is used to extract sales and distribution data, has many DataSources, as listed in Figure 4.3. Chapter 5 will discuss how to use these DataSources and extract data to SAP BW/4HANA. When extracting the data from the logistics DataSources, you need to fill in the setup table, which is a temporary table for loading the historical data, and then use the logis- tics-based delta logic to get the new and changed records. When handling scenarios like inventory management, the data should not be cumu- lated in SAP BW because inventory deals with the inflow and outflow of materials. To handle such scenarios, use materials management DataSources that deal with extraction of inventory data. They support noncumulative key figures in SAP BW/4HANA. When extracting data using these DataSources, there is an additional pro- cess that needs to be followed. The DataSources can be seen in the application compo- nent for inventory management, as shown in Figure 4.4. Figure 4.4 Inventory Management Extractors 137 4.2 SAP-Delivered Business Content Extractors 4 4.2.2 Finance Extractors There are many SAP standard-delivered DataSources that extract data from finance application components. The common finance applications used most commonly until SAP BW 7.5 include the following: 쐍 Accounts receivables 쐍 Accounts payable 쐍 New general ledger With SAP S/4HANA, there has been a major change in finance applications and how data is stored in the tables; many old finance tables have been replaced by table ACO- DOCA. With SAP S/4HANA, new DataSources based on table ACDOCA have been delivered to replace old finance DataSources. You can see the 0FI_ACDOCA_10 and 0FI_ACDOCA_20 DataSources in Figure 4.5. Figure 4.5 Table ACDOCA and Finance DataSources Unlike logistics DataSources, there is no need for a setup table to do a historical data load here. Finance extractors use timestamps for fetching new and changed records in delta extraction. You’ll learn more about this logic in Chapter 5. 4.2.3 HR Extractors You may need to extract data from HR or SAP ERP Human Capital Management–based applications for SAP BW reporting, and SAP has delivered DataSources for these scenar- ios. Note that SAP SuccessFactors is also used for many HR-based activities, and SAP BW/4HANA can also extract from that application. An example of the personnel administration application is shown in Figure 4.6. Figure 4.6 HR Personnel Administration DataSources
4 Working with SAP Extractors 138 You can also see the DataSources for payroll and time management in Figure 4.7. Figure 4.7 HR Time Management DataSources SAP HANA-Optimized Business Content When you install the latest SAP BusinessObjects BI content add-on, you’ll get SAP HANA–optimized business content objects. There are many in-memory objects, like aDSOs and SAP HANA composite providers. These objects support new data models that follow recommendations based on Layered Scalable Architecture++ (LSA++). DataSource Enhancement In any SAP-delivered extractor, there is an option to enhance the standard extractor. If you have a business requirement that can be achieved by enhancing a standard extractor, like adding a few fields, that’s possible with DataSource enhancement. You need to enhance the DataSource fields and, if required, write the enhancement logic to extract the data for the enhanced fields. If the business requirement is so complex that an enhancement won’t be enough, then the only option is to create a custom Data- Source based on the business requirement by creating your own extractor, as we’ll dis- cuss in the next section. 4.3 Generic Extractors When the SAP-delivered business content-based extractors can’t meet your business requirements, then you can create generic extractors or user-developed extractors. The end-to-end process of creating an extractor and enabling the delta process should be done by the extractor developer who is implementing the solution. SAP has provided multiple methods to create custom DataSources, including the following: 쐍 Generic DataSource based on views 쐍 Generic DataSource based on InfoSets 쐍 Generic DataSource based on function modules 쐍 SAP BW BAdI providers 쐍 Custom CDS views 쐍 Custom SAP HANA calculation views 139 4.3 Generic Extractors 4 When you want to create a generic DataSource in SAP S/4HANA, you can use Transac- tion RS02. It will have various options to create the DataSource, as shown in Figure 4.8. Figure 4.8 Generic DataSource Creation: Transaction RSO2 Transaction RSO2 will work only in the SAP S/4HANA or SAP ERP source system. In SAP BW/4HANA, you can only display the DataSource; the Create option will be disabled, as shown in Figure 4.9. Figure 4.9 Transaction RSO2: SAP BW/4HANA Because Transaction RSO2 is not available in SAP BW/4HANA, the alternate option is to create the generic DataSource within the SAP BW/4HANA system, using the following options:
4 Working with SAP Extractors 140 쐍 ABAP CDS views (using custom logic) ABAP CDS views help you create complex and semantically rich data models. Using CDS views, you can create views based on table fields according to application-spe- cific needs for your business. These CDS views are a kind of virtual data model that allows direct access to the tables. 쐍 SAP HANA calculation views (custom calculations) An SAP HANA calculation view is a type of information view that you can use to define more advanced slices of data available in the SAP HANA database. You can create joins and projections on tables that reside in the database. 쐍 BAdI InfoProvider as an ODP SAP BW provider A BAdI InfoProvider is an InfoProvider that you can enhance by means of ABAP implementation. It’s created using the RSO_BADI_PROVIDER BAdI. 4.4 Installing SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Content When you need to use SAP-delivered business content objects or dataflows in SAP BW/4HANA, you need to install the SAP BusinessObjects BI content. Execute Transac- tion RSA1, and you can find the BI Content button, as shown in Figure 4.10. Figure 4.10 BI Content Option Once you choose BI Content, you will have the option to install required objects, as shown in Figure 4.11: 1 Choose Object Types. 2 Choose the object type that you need to install and click Choose Objects. The system will show a popup with a list of available objects based on the type. 141 4.4 Installing SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Content 4 3 Select the SAP BusinessObjects BI content object that you want to install (you can use the Search icon to find an object). 4 Choose Transfer Selections, which will collect all the related objects upward and downward for installation. For example, if you choose an aDSO, then the downwards objects in the dataflow for the aDSO are InfoObjects, DataSources, and transforma- tions. The upwards objects are SAP HANA composite providers and the associated queries. All these objects will be collected for the installation. Figure 4.11 Object Types in SAP BusinessObjects BI Contents When installing, you will have option to group objects as shown in Figure 4.12, with the following options: 쐍 Only Necessary Objects will collect the important objects for the required SAP BW object that needs to be installed. 쐍 Data Flow Before will collect all the objects that connect to the current object; for example, for an aDSO, you’ll get the InfoObject, transformations, and so on. 쐍 Data Flow Afterwards will collect all objects above the current installation object. For example, the aDSO will get all objects that have queries and other reporting ele- ments. 쐍 Data Flow Before and After will collect all data flow–based objects like InfoObjects, transformations, aDSOs, queries, and so on. Once you’ve decided on a grouping option, you can install the object with the Install option, as shown in Figure 4.13.

We looked at the different types of extractors across different functional areas. We walked you through the stan- dard-delivered extractors in the LO cockpit and explained how the application num- bers are used in logistics extractors. We also walked through the different categories of extractors in finance applications. Finally, we looked at the extractors used in HR appli- cations. You also learned about generic extractors and the steps to install the BI content objects in an SAP BW/4HANA system. These basics will be used as the foundation for data staging from the next chapter on. In the next chapter, we’ll focus on extracting data from SAP logistics applications to SAP BW/4HANA. This will be one of the most important chapters in the book. We’ll detail the steps thoroughly so that the data staging can be understood from end to end.

  • 1. First-hand knowledge. Reading Sample The Authors Index Contents “Work with SAP Extractors” Renjith Kumar Palaniswamy Operational Data Provisioning with SAP BW/4HANA 608 pages | 08/2023 | $89.95 | ISBN 978-1-4932-2406-7 www.sap-press.com/5676 This sample chapter describes how to work with extractors, which are ob- jects that reside in a source system and encapsulate extraction logic. These extractors are replicated to SAP BW/4HANA to create a link to the source system. In this chapter, you’ll learn about the available extractors, how they work, and how these operational data provisioning (ODP) extractors compa- re to previously available Service Application Interface (SAPI) extractors.
  • 2. 133 4 Chapter 4 Working with SAP Extractors This chapter discusses standard SAP extractors in different functional areas in logistics. You’ll learn about the extractor types and the differ- ences between them. When you want to extract data from any SAP ERP system into SAP BW/4HANA, you need extractors or DataSources that fetch and send data between the two systems. In this chapter, you’ll be introduced to the extractors in each functional area in Section 4.1. There are many extractors that are delivered across multiple functional areas, and each functional area has its own logic to send historical and delta records to SAP BW/4HANA using DataSources. You’ll learn about the types of SAP-delivered extractors in Section 4.2. You’ll explore the logistics Extractors in Section 4.2.1, where we’ll focus on logistics applications like sales and distribution, materials management, purchasing, plant maintenance, and so on. Then we’ll talk about the finance extractors in Section 4.2.2, with extractors for areas like accounts receivable, accounts payable, and the general ledger. Finally, we’ll look at human resources extractors in Section 4.2.3. Section 4.3 looks at generic extractors, and then you’ll learn about installing SAP Busi- nessObjects Business Intelligence (SAP BusinessObjects BI) content in Section 4.4. Once you complete the chapter, you’ll have a strong foundation for learning about data load- ing from SAP S/4HANA in later chapters. 4.1 Introduction to SAP Extractors This section covers types of SAP ERP systems and their associated SAP BusinessObjects BI content and discusses the availability of SAP extractors and DataSources. SAP ERP System and Extractors SAP BW/4HANA can be connected to SAP ERP and SAP S/4HANA. There have been major functional-level changes between these two systems, and new tables have replaced some old tables in SAP S/4HANA. The important SAP S/4HANA versions start from SAP S/4HANA 1610, which was released in May 2016, and the latest version is SAP S/4HANA 2022. Most of the SAP business content extractors that worked with SAP ERP are still used in SAP BW/4HANA. A few DataSources are depreciated with SAP
  • 3. 4 Working with SAP Extractors 134 S/4HANA. For some DataSources, alternatives have been provided in SAP S/4HANA. We’ll focus on the most common application areas here and their associated extractors, where most SAP BW reporting is used. To extract data from SAP ERP, many DataSources have been developed by SAP across multiple application components. These DataSources can be accessed using specific transactions in SAP S/4HANA or SAP ERP systems. For SAP BW systems, these Data- Sources have been updated and shipped using the BI_CONT add-on, which can be installed in SAP BW 7.X systems; for example, SAP BusinessObjects BI content 7.57 is the add-on for 7.5. It includes SAP HANA–optimized business content. When SAP BW/4HANA is used, you’ll see two new components: BW4CONT and BW4CONTB. BW4- CONTB contains objects like InfoAreas, application components, InfoObjects, and so on. BW4CONT has dataflows, aDSOs, CompositeProviders, InfoSources, and transfor- mations. You can see the BW4CONT component in Figure 4.1. Figure 4.1 BW4CONT and BW4CONTB Types of SAP extractors include the following: 쐍 Application-specific – Business content extractors—widely used – Customer-generated extractors—not used much with SAP S/4HANA 쐍 Cross-application – Generic extractors – Custom CDS views 4.2 SAP-Delivered Business Content Extractors For application-specific business content extractors, SAP delivers the business content completely, which means the DataSource is already developed by SAP. During the 135 4.2 SAP-Delivered Business Content Extractors 4 implementation, it’s enough to activate the DataSource and consume the data from the source system. SAP-delivered extractors include logistics extractors, finance extractors, and HR extractors. Let’s look at these extractors in detail in the following sections. 4.2.1 Logistics Extractors SAP has delivered many DataSources to extract data from logistics-based applications, including the following functional applications: 쐍 Sales and distribution 쐍 Purchasing 쐍 Materials management 쐍 Shop floor control 쐍 Quality management 쐍 Plant maintenance 쐍 Invoice verification The DataSources can be accessed from Transaction LBWE in SAP S/4HANA (the Logis- tics Cockpit), which has information about all logistics DataSources. Each logistics application is identified with a unique two-digit number, as you can see in Figure 4.2. Figure 4.2 LO Cockpit When you expand any application component number, you can see the details of the extractors that are delivered by SAP under Extract Structures, as shown in Figure 4.3.
  • 4. 4 Working with SAP Extractors 136 Figure 4.3 Extractors in LO Cockpit Application component 11, SD Sales BW, which is used to extract sales and distribution data, has many DataSources, as listed in Figure 4.3. Chapter 5 will discuss how to use these DataSources and extract data to SAP BW/4HANA. When extracting the data from the logistics DataSources, you need to fill in the setup table, which is a temporary table for loading the historical data, and then use the logis- tics-based delta logic to get the new and changed records. When handling scenarios like inventory management, the data should not be cumu- lated in SAP BW because inventory deals with the inflow and outflow of materials. To handle such scenarios, use materials management DataSources that deal with extraction of inventory data. They support noncumulative key figures in SAP BW/4HANA. When extracting data using these DataSources, there is an additional pro- cess that needs to be followed. The DataSources can be seen in the application compo- nent for inventory management, as shown in Figure 4.4. Figure 4.4 Inventory Management Extractors 137 4.2 SAP-Delivered Business Content Extractors 4 4.2.2 Finance Extractors There are many SAP standard-delivered DataSources that extract data from finance application components. The common finance applications used most commonly until SAP BW 7.5 include the following: 쐍 Accounts receivables 쐍 Accounts payable 쐍 New general ledger With SAP S/4HANA, there has been a major change in finance applications and how data is stored in the tables; many old finance tables have been replaced by table ACO- DOCA. With SAP S/4HANA, new DataSources based on table ACDOCA have been delivered to replace old finance DataSources. You can see the 0FI_ACDOCA_10 and 0FI_ACDOCA_20 DataSources in Figure 4.5. Figure 4.5 Table ACDOCA and Finance DataSources Unlike logistics DataSources, there is no need for a setup table to do a historical data load here. Finance extractors use timestamps for fetching new and changed records in delta extraction. You’ll learn more about this logic in Chapter 5. 4.2.3 HR Extractors You may need to extract data from HR or SAP ERP Human Capital Management–based applications for SAP BW reporting, and SAP has delivered DataSources for these scenar- ios. Note that SAP SuccessFactors is also used for many HR-based activities, and SAP BW/4HANA can also extract from that application. An example of the personnel administration application is shown in Figure 4.6. Figure 4.6 HR Personnel Administration DataSources
  • 5. 4 Working with SAP Extractors 138 You can also see the DataSources for payroll and time management in Figure 4.7. Figure 4.7 HR Time Management DataSources SAP HANA-Optimized Business Content When you install the latest SAP BusinessObjects BI content add-on, you’ll get SAP HANA–optimized business content objects. There are many in-memory objects, like aDSOs and SAP HANA composite providers. These objects support new data models that follow recommendations based on Layered Scalable Architecture++ (LSA++). DataSource Enhancement In any SAP-delivered extractor, there is an option to enhance the standard extractor. If you have a business requirement that can be achieved by enhancing a standard extractor, like adding a few fields, that’s possible with DataSource enhancement. You need to enhance the DataSource fields and, if required, write the enhancement logic to extract the data for the enhanced fields. If the business requirement is so complex that an enhancement won’t be enough, then the only option is to create a custom Data- Source based on the business requirement by creating your own extractor, as we’ll dis- cuss in the next section. 4.3 Generic Extractors When the SAP-delivered business content-based extractors can’t meet your business requirements, then you can create generic extractors or user-developed extractors. The end-to-end process of creating an extractor and enabling the delta process should be done by the extractor developer who is implementing the solution. SAP has provided multiple methods to create custom DataSources, including the following: 쐍 Generic DataSource based on views 쐍 Generic DataSource based on InfoSets 쐍 Generic DataSource based on function modules 쐍 SAP BW BAdI providers 쐍 Custom CDS views 쐍 Custom SAP HANA calculation views 139 4.3 Generic Extractors 4 When you want to create a generic DataSource in SAP S/4HANA, you can use Transac- tion RS02. It will have various options to create the DataSource, as shown in Figure 4.8. Figure 4.8 Generic DataSource Creation: Transaction RSO2 Transaction RSO2 will work only in the SAP S/4HANA or SAP ERP source system. In SAP BW/4HANA, you can only display the DataSource; the Create option will be disabled, as shown in Figure 4.9. Figure 4.9 Transaction RSO2: SAP BW/4HANA Because Transaction RSO2 is not available in SAP BW/4HANA, the alternate option is to create the generic DataSource within the SAP BW/4HANA system, using the following options:
  • 6. 4 Working with SAP Extractors 140 쐍 ABAP CDS views (using custom logic) ABAP CDS views help you create complex and semantically rich data models. Using CDS views, you can create views based on table fields according to application-spe- cific needs for your business. These CDS views are a kind of virtual data model that allows direct access to the tables. 쐍 SAP HANA calculation views (custom calculations) An SAP HANA calculation view is a type of information view that you can use to define more advanced slices of data available in the SAP HANA database. You can create joins and projections on tables that reside in the database. 쐍 BAdI InfoProvider as an ODP SAP BW provider A BAdI InfoProvider is an InfoProvider that you can enhance by means of ABAP implementation. It’s created using the RSO_BADI_PROVIDER BAdI. 4.4 Installing SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Content When you need to use SAP-delivered business content objects or dataflows in SAP BW/4HANA, you need to install the SAP BusinessObjects BI content. Execute Transac- tion RSA1, and you can find the BI Content button, as shown in Figure 4.10. Figure 4.10 BI Content Option Once you choose BI Content, you will have the option to install required objects, as shown in Figure 4.11: 1 Choose Object Types. 2 Choose the object type that you need to install and click Choose Objects. The system will show a popup with a list of available objects based on the type. 141 4.4 Installing SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Content 4 3 Select the SAP BusinessObjects BI content object that you want to install (you can use the Search icon to find an object). 4 Choose Transfer Selections, which will collect all the related objects upward and downward for installation. For example, if you choose an aDSO, then the downwards objects in the dataflow for the aDSO are InfoObjects, DataSources, and transforma- tions. The upwards objects are SAP HANA composite providers and the associated queries. All these objects will be collected for the installation. Figure 4.11 Object Types in SAP BusinessObjects BI Contents When installing, you will have option to group objects as shown in Figure 4.12, with the following options: 쐍 Only Necessary Objects will collect the important objects for the required SAP BW object that needs to be installed. 쐍 Data Flow Before will collect all the objects that connect to the current object; for example, for an aDSO, you’ll get the InfoObject, transformations, and so on. 쐍 Data Flow Afterwards will collect all objects above the current installation object. For example, the aDSO will get all objects that have queries and other reporting ele- ments. 쐍 Data Flow Before and After will collect all data flow–based objects like InfoObjects, transformations, aDSOs, queries, and so on. Once you’ve decided on a grouping option, you can install the object with the Install option, as shown in Figure 4.13.
  • 7. 4 Working with SAP Extractors 142 Figure 4.12 Grouping Figure 4.13 Install SAP BusinessObjects BI Content Object 4.5 Summary In this chapter, you learned the basics of SAP extractors. We looked at the different types of extractors across different functional areas. We walked you through the stan- dard-delivered extractors in the LO cockpit and explained how the application num- bers are used in logistics extractors. We also walked through the different categories of extractors in finance applications. Finally, we looked at the extractors used in HR appli- cations. You also learned about generic extractors and the steps to install the BI content objects in an SAP BW/4HANA system. These basics will be used as the foundation for data staging from the next chapter on. In the next chapter, we’ll focus on extracting data from SAP logistics applications to SAP BW/4HANA. This will be one of the most important chapters in the book. We’ll detail the steps thoroughly so that the data staging can be understood from end to end.
