SAP Bank Analyzer Financial Reporting with SAP HANA: Configuration Guide

1         Purpose

The purpose of this document is to describe the general configuration steps required to manually set up the configuration within the system landscape that has already been installed using the corresponding installation or configuration guides for installation. The configuration guide provides you with guidance on the contents of the SAP HANA model SAP.fs.ba and  sap.fs.ind.ba to support you with your decision making process for app modifications you may wish to make to the package. This guide also provides your will guidance on how to make changes to views in the package as well as the reporting object that use these views.

• This configuration guide does not include a full description on how to manually configure the views included in package sap.fs.ba and sap.fs.fnd. ba from scratch. You are expected to adjust and import these using the processes described in the quick guide for the SAP Bank Analyzer rapid-deployment solution for financial reporting with SAP HANA, which is attached to the SAP Note 1626729. Likewise, you are expected to import the universes and crystal reports as described in the quick guide.
• Due to technical restriction on the inclusion of an information space in a FIAR file, this configuration guide does provide you with guidance on how to create the information space from scratch, as well as general guidance on how to carry out you own modifications to the information space.
• The Content of this guide is based on SAP HANA™ 0

2         Preparation

2.1 prerequisites Before you start the configuration of this scenario, the SAP HANA Studio needs to be installed. Furthermore, you must ensure the connection between the following:

• SAP HANA system and SAP Business Objects Explorer
• SAP HANA system and SAP Business Objects Crystal Reports

For more information, see the quick guide for the SAP Bank Analyzer rapid-deployment solution for financial reporting with SAP HANA, attached to the SAP Note 1626729.  

3         Configuration

3.1    Creation of Aggregated Data Table in SAP Bank Analyzer

• In the quick guide, the identification of the relevant tables is described. You need to create the aggregated data table in case it does not exist yet as the aggregated table is included in the Analytic view AN_BALANCE_AGG (see chapter SAP HANA – Use of Tables in views.)

Procedure

1. Create a new Result view:

• Access the transaction using the following navigation path:

IMG     Financial Services  Bank Analyzer     Result Data Layer  Basic settings    Edit Data Structures in the Result Data Area.

• Select the Result Data Area (for example, SBA) where the new Result view is used for.
• In the dialog structure, right-click Result Views and select Choose Sub dialog.
• Choose F5 (or New Entries) t create a new result view. You should use the following setup:

• Double-click Result views: Result Types.
• Choose F5 (or New Entries) to assign a result type. which was already identified for the flow data lable described in the quick guide (for example, SF).
• Double-click Result Views: Characteristics. Please insert all at least all required please double-click Filter Conditions and maintain the filter conditions.
• Save the entries.

2. Create a new node counter (counter key figure):

• Access the transaction using the following navigation path:

Img                    Financial Services                  Bank analyzer          Basic Settings           Settings for Meta Data                             Key figures          Edit Key figures.  

• Make the following entries:

4. Identify the table name of the data table for the aggregated level via selecting the created aggregation view:

The table names of the different levels are listed in the Generated Objects for Aggregation Level section. The relevant data table of the aggregation level is stored in the data table. The data table name is, for example, ?1BA/HM_IITJ_830

5. The aggregation table structure is created. Now, the structure must be filled with data. In this, you can use the transaction.
6. Access the transaction using one of the following navigation options: Transaction code /BA1/HW_PREAGG2 or Financial Service Bank Analyzer   Result Data Layer Pre-aggregation Run   Preaggregation

• Make the following entries:

9. Choose Execute.

• All flow data with a timestamp lower or equal to the used data and time in pre-aggregation are aggregated and stored in the aggregated data table (for example /1BA/HM_IITJ_830).

3.2 Implementation of Rapid-Deployment Solution Specific programs (SAP Note 1614443) in SAP Bank Analyzer Implement the programs listed and described in SAP Note 1614443 into your SAP Bank Analyzer system.

1. Exchange Rate Copy Program (ZMR_FX_Rate_Copy) As stated in the quick guide, this program is for an initial copy of exchange rates and exchange rate customizing from SAP Bank Analyzer to standard exchange rate tables only. For automatic update of the TCURR table after the initial copy choose the following navigation option: IMG    Financial Services  Foundation   Market Data  Exchange Rates  Map   Exchange Rate Category to Exchange Rate Type

2.    Master Data Text Copy program (Z_R_AL_IM_CHARTXT     For more information, see the chapters implement and Run Exchange Rate copy program and implement and Run Master Data Text Copy program of the quick guide.  

3.3. SAP HANA –Data Model Overview

The Attribute, analytic and Calculation views used for this Rapid-Deployment solution are as follows: Attribute Views (Package: sap—fs—fnd—ba)

  Analytic Views (Package: sap-fs-ba)  

    Calculation View (Package: sap-fs-ba) The tables required for this Rapid-Deployment solution are as follows:

3.5 SAP HANA – Use of Tables in Views                       

Calculation Views, Analytic Views and attribute Views need to be adjusted according to the tables used on customer side. You can replace the table name with the Excel macro Table_name_Replacement_Template.xls. The Excel macro helps automate the table name replacement in the XML files of the different views. For more details, see chapter adjust the SAP HANA Models According to Customer-Specific Tables Naming of the quick guide.  

Use of customer specific transactional tables in views

Use of master data and generated text tables in views    

3.6 SAP HANA  - Creating and filling the REPORTING_ STRUCTURE Table           

To set up a three hierarchy levels reporting structure for aggregation on top of G/L accounts, a REPORTING_STRUCTURE table is created and filled in schema SAP_FS_BA of the SAP HANA Studio.

• This Rapid-Deployment solution focuses on a three hierarchy levels structure for aggregation on top of the G/L account. The use of another hierarchy structure (for example, more than three levels) would require an adjustment of the predelivered content of this Rapid-Deployment solution.

Procedure

1. To create the REPORTING_STRICTIRE table in the schema SAP_FS_BA, you must enter and start the following script in the SQL Editor. Copy and paste this script into the SQL Editor (in SAP HANA Studio) and execute it:

Create column table  “SAP_FS_BA” . “REPORTING_STRUCTURE” ( “CLIENT”   CHAR    (3)    not null, “GL_ACCOUNT”    VARCHAR  (10) not null, “VALID_FROM”     NCHAR   (8)    not null, “VALID_TO”       NCHAR     (8)  not null, “REPORT_TYPE”     CHAR  (3), “ORDER_ACCOUNT”   INTEGER, “HIERARCHY1”    VARCHAR     (130) not null, “ORDER_H1”     INTEGER, “HIERARCHY2”    VARCHAR    (130)   not null, “ORDER_H2” INTEGER, “HIERARCHY3”   VARCHAR     (130)   not null, “ORDER_H3”   INTEGER, Primary key (“CLIENT”, “GL_ACCOUNT”, “VALID_FROM”, “VALID_TO”, “HIERARCHY1” , “HIERARCHY2” , “HIERARCHY3”)) WITH PARAMETERS    ( ‘SESSION_TYPE ‘-‘ SIMPLE’   )

• For more details, see chapter SQL Script for creation of SAP HANA Specific Table (REPORTING_STRUCTURE) of the quick guide.

2. To fill the REPORTING_STRUCTURE table, use the Chart of Accounts Upload Macro Template file (Chart_of_Accounts_Upload_Macro_Template.xls) The Excel macro is filled out according to the customer-spacific chart of accounts                       structure. Running the macro generates an SQL file. The SQL code of the generated file is copied and afterwards pasted in the SQL editor of the SAP HANA Studio.

• For more details, see chapter Generate Chart of Accounts Structure (REPORTING_STRUCTURE) of the quick guide.
