Sap Bw Infoobjects
InfoObjects are vital to the SAP business intelligence solution
. InfoObjects receive and obtain data from the source, then revise and organize the information into either a standard or customized report. The InfoObject is the smallest building block in SAP BW. It is put to use in InfoProviders (InfoCubes, DSOs, MultiProviders, Queries, etc). Just imagine InfoObjects as compact Lego tiles that when merged with each other, make a much larger Lego structure (InfoProvider). InfoProviders are built from InfoObjects and form something precious that allows for users to report from. You can find five different kinds of InfoObjects to choose from inside the SAP BW environment.
Types of InfoObjects:
A) Characteristics (Employee, Customer, Material)
B) Key Figures (Quantity Sold, Amount, Weight)
C) Time Characteristics (Year, Month, Period, Quarter)
D) Unit InfoObjects (Currency Unit, Measurement Unit)
E) Technical Characteristics (Data Load Request ID, Change Run ID, Package ID)
A) Characteristics:
This type of InfoObject represents a business entity that you are likely to be analyzing. Such as: material, customer, or region.
B) Key Figures:
This particular type of InfoObject presents numeric measures of business entities. We decide to make use of each of these to examine characteristics by weight, quantity, price, amount, etc
C) Time Characteristics:
This particular type of InfoObject
provides
when a transaction occurs. To illustrate, fiscal year, month of sale, day of sale, quarter in which something sold.
D) Unit InfoObjects:
This sort of InfoObject provides
what unit of measure a key figure is using. To illustrate, we may be using the metric system to determine weights for our client, so in contrast to pounds we will be using kilograms.
E) Technical Characteristics
SAP internal InfoObjects that preserve information which includes automatically generated IDs that are used for monitoring and maintenance of the SAP BW system. For example, each single load into SAP BW consists of a unique request ID that ties back to a exclusive load so administrators can pinpoint inaccuracies or take out a bad data load.
See if you can find the InfoObjects that we may desire to use so you can answer this business question
ABC Corporation is interested in finding out how much of product x shipped on date x to factory x.
0NAME (ABC Corporation), 0MATERIAL (Product x), 0DATE (Ship date x), 0LOCATION (factory location) would be our characteristics needed
0AMOUNT (Quantity shipped) would be our key figure used to measure the quantity of products shipped
We realize that we would need at a minimum, an InfoProvider that consisted of the above five InfoObjects. Its important when designing in BW to get the client to let you know everything they are seeking a way to analyze (InfoObjects) so you can develop an InfoProvider containing relevant InfoObjects that will create valuable reports and in turn information for the business.
SAP delivers a plethora of InfoObjects standard. These objects are part of the BI content (Business Content). BI content is SAPs optimism for an out of the box tool to your business requirements. These objects start with 0 and it is not encouraged to modify them. However, more often than not, delivered InfoObjects will not meet your requirements for development, you can easily create a custom-made object that will satisfy your requirements. You can create custom Characteristic, Key Figure, and Unit InfoObjects.
