Functional coverage of BW General Ledger
BW solutions covering General Ledger process
General Ledger solution in BW cover the need of HUB units requested during the financial decommissioning in BP. The solution in BW was not created to replace the exiting reporting solution covered by Blue Planet but to answer specific reporting need. Based on these need specific solutions were created. Not all the data available in each SAP tables were transferred from BP to BW. During the presentation you will see which data and from which source these data are available.
BW solutions covering General Ledger process
General Ledger reporting is based on the solutions of data needed:
GL solution: GL Optimized Cube + ODS
Multiprovider ZXFIGLM02
GL solution: GL-AR-AP Optimized + ODS GL solution
Multiprovider ZXFIGLM03
Note: General Ledger solution deployed in BW covers the need requested by major Alcatel-Lucent units during the financial decommissioning of Concerto DWH (ERs2113 - 2405). BW GL solution was not created to replace the exiting reporting solution covered by Blue Planet but to answer to specific reporting need.
Blue Planet SAP tables available in BW GL solutions
Blue Planet SAP tables available in BW GL Solution

Main tables recovered in BW are the followed BSEG = Actual line items of document (for Account type = A (Asset), M (Stock Accounts) and S (G/L Account)). Those account type are recovered in BSEG sub-tables: => BSIS = Open items => BSAS = Closed items BKPF = Header of document BSET = Tax table,
under deployment for NAR project Alcatel University has to update the slide with this info. Note: not all the data available in each SAP table are transferred from BP to BW. Multiple sources & availability of data are explained in next pages.
Master data available in GL solution

The Master data available of this Solution are : GL Accounts, Profit Center, Asset, Customer (Debitor)

Inside this Multiprovider are stored the data coming from all the B/S and PL accounts of BP chart of accounts (BSEG-KOART = S (G/L Account), M (Stock Account) and A (Asset)). Behind you can see an example of what is loaded in the in GL Multicube from an invoice posted in BP.
To take care that in this solution there are not the Reconciliation Accounts data.
BW GL technical features
BW Dimensions Linked to the Dimensions of the Multiprovider, we will have all the Characteristics defined from the users during the development of the GL solution. Characteristic are regrouped based on Categories (Customer, Header Data..). For example under Customer Dimension, we will have all the major Customer Figures as Customer, HFM code, Domestic/Export etc
Technical features: ODS/Info-Cubes ZXFIGLM02 Currently The GL General Ledger solution (ZXFIGLM02) is a Multiprovider solution based on 2 infoproviders linked to Blue Planet: Cube General Ledger Optimized ZXFIGC02

BW Query design
Naming Convention for new Local queries
Rule to be applied by BW super/key users for naming convention of new BW Local queries:
Country (ISO code): FR, DE, US, BE InfoProviders name: ZXFIAPM01 Counter: Q### Additional Text if needed
Separate each part with an _
First part: Second part: Third part: Fourth part:
Example of new BW local query on AP solution (Multi-Cube ZXFIAPM01):
US_ZXFIAPM01_Q002__Due_amounts_follow-up
Note: NAR BW Leads can create protected local queries with technical codification starting with U1_
BW Authorization Variables
Authorization variables Due to the new authorization philosophy in BW Version 7.0, when an authorization relevant object is inserted in an infoprovider, it is automatically activated for all solutions based on this infoprovider. The authorization checks activated for one solution (ex. For InfoObject Company code)
will become homogeneous FOR ALL INFOPROVIDERS and for ALL QUERIES (cubes/multicubes/ODS) based on the same solution.
Authorization variables in new Local queries
Local queries must contain all the info-objects (characteristics) relevant for authorisation activated in the infoprovider.
No automatic embedding of authorization objects exist.

At time of creation of new local queries key users can follow one of these options :
1. Create a new local query based on the Template of Query created for each Financial solutions (the template include the authorization objects); 2. Create a new local query based on existing Central Reports (available in Bex menu); 3. Create a new local query directly from the infoprovider and add manually all the authorization variables activated.
1st Option - Local query like a copy of the Template of Query - 1/2 1st OPTION : Create a local query like a copy of the Template of Query
created for each BW Financial solutions

For each BW Financial solution, a Template of Query has been created with all the necessary authorization variables.
The Template of Queries for financial solutions are the following:

For AP solution: Template of Query ZXFIAPM01 (tech. name: ZX_ZXFIAPM01_Q001) For AP-GL solution: Template of Query ZFIAPM01 (tech. name: ZX_ZFIGLAPM1_Q001) For AR solution: Template of Query ZXFIARMC1 (tech. name: ZX_ZXFIARMC1_Q001) For AR-GL solution: Template of Query ZFIGLARM1 (tech. name: ZX_ZFIGLARM1_Q001) For GL solution: Template of Query ZXFIGLM02 (tech. name: ZX_ZXFIGLM02_Q001) For GL-AP-AR solution: Template of Query ZXFIGLM03 (tech. name: ZX_ZXFIGLM03_Q001)
Super users can create a copy of these Template of Queries.

1st Option - Local query like a copy of the Template of Query Example of TEMPLATE OF QUERIES defined for AP solution: - 2/2
BW AP solution Authorization objects activated in AP infoprovider
Authorization object defined in Template of Query ZXFIAPM01 (tech. name: ZX_ZXFIAPM01_QUERY_TEMPLATE)
Note: only Company code is Visible in Selection screen. If you want to make the other authorization visibles, you can change them in your local query.
2nd Option - Local query like copy of Central Report 2nd OPTION: Create a new local query like a copy of existing Central
Reports (available in Bex menu)
=> With this option, all authorization variables are already included in the Central reports.
Note: all the filters, conditions, restricted key figures, etc. will be copied as well from Central reports. Pay attention to them!
3rd Option - Creation from InfoProvider - 1/3 3st OPTION: Create a new local query directly from the infoprovider and
add manually all the authorization variables

For queries created directly from infoprovider, the authorization objects indicated below must be inserted manually by key users. Example of
BW AP solution AUTHORIZATION OBJECTS: AP solution
3rd Option - Creation from InfoProvider - 2/3 The list of authorization objects activated for each BW financial solution and the list of authorization variables that can be used are listed in this excel file:
Author variables_v4
3rd Option - Creation from InfoProvider - 3/3 If authorization variables are not inserted in the local queries, the following error message will be displayed: NO AUTHORIZATION
