Lists and Reports for Notifications and Orders Order and operation list You can use the order and operation list to monitor, steer, and analyze orders. You can select entries based on order header and order operation data. A hitlist displays order header and operation data on one screen. As we can see, the system provides a number of options for editing and monitoring standing orders in particular.

Figure 5: Order and Operation List - Transaction IW37N

CO Reports for Orders In addition to maintenance reports, reports are available in the Controlling (CO) component. For example, you can set up order groups for specific maintenance order types, such as maintenance orders, to examine the cost situation (for example, a report on planned and actual costs and any variations that may occur).

Unit 1: Source Data in the ERP System

PLM318

SAP Logistics offers several application-related information systems, all of which have the same user interface and similar basic functions. The way in which data is stored is identical in all Logistics Information Systems. A number of special tools and working methods serve to highlight the typical character of a Data Warehouse in the Logistics Information System. Individual Logistics Information Systems include: • • • • • • • •

Sales Information System (SIS) Purchasing Information System (PURCHIS) Inventory Controlling (INVCO) Warehouse Management Information System (WMIS) Production Planning Information System (PPIS) Quality Management Information System (QMIS) Plant Maintenance Information System (PMIS) Retail Information System (RIS)

Figure 10: Levels in the LIS

Recent Data Warehouse concepts use a triple-level model to implement more efficient integrated information systems. The three levels break down overall data flow, from data acquisition in operational systems to the presentation of information. Operational integrated applications in Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) systems provide the basis for obtaining information. These systems contain large quantities of master and process data, which is then presented in in information systems in a clear and user-friendly manner.

14

2006/Q2

PLM318

Lesson: Plant Maintenance Information System (PMIS)

To do this, the application data is broken down into a few, meaningful key figure amounts, and managed separately in the database tables of a Data Warehouse. At the third level of the Logistics Information System, a number of analysis tools are available for evaluating the statistical data obtained. These tools offer a wide range of options for effectively analyzing and presenting comprehensive statistical data, and provide an efficient instrument for rapid decision-making in state-of-the-art managerial environments.

Analyses

Figure 11: Drilldown Lists in a Standard Analysis

Standard analyses contain a wide range of functions for generating comprehensive presentations and analyses of LIS data. The data for a standard analysis is identified by defining the analysis object (for example, purchasing group, vendor or material group) and by setting default selections. The data can then be displayed in a structured form using an initial list, and a number of drilldown lists. Individual analyses can be archived. Master data or documents can be displayed using standard application transactions from the different explosion levels. A number of special functions are available for individual analysis of the key figures and characteristics attributes on which an analysis is based. All functions for evaluating statistics are supported graphically.

Figure 12: User Settings for a Standard Analysis

For each standard analysis, you can make default settings centrally that are valid for each user. These settings may also be controlled on a user-specific basis. You can also configure default settings for the standard drilldown, and predefine key figures, a selection period and different list parameters for designing the list layout. You can change the key figure selection and list layout design in the standard analyses at a later stage.

Data Warehouse The individual physical tables of the Logistics Data Warehouse are known as information structures, or info structures for short. These are described in a transparent manner in the SAP Data Dictionary. Info structures are structured in the usual way.

PLM318

Lesson: Plant Maintenance Information System (PMIS)

Figure 13: Data Warehouse

Analysis objects from the day-to-day business market are transferred as evaluation groups to the info structures in the form of characteristics. Statistical information is updated for characteristics such as functional locations or equipment in aggregated form. Organizational elements, such as location, plant section or maintenance planner group are used as characteristics in info structures. The time-base offers another possibility for aggregating data. Data is compiled for each period and for each characteristic. With regard to the period unit, you can choose between daily, weekly and monthly data compression for each info structure. Logistics key figures are updated for each characteristic combination and period unit. These include quantitative amounts, which provide information on measurable objects. Key figures can be ascertained for each evaluation group using accumulation, such as actual costs, or they can be simple counters, such as number of orders. Info Structures

Figure 14: Info Structures

In the SAP standard system, info structures are available for a number of application areas. User-friendly tools enable you to group characteristics and key figures into individual info structures according to your own criteria and supply them with data using separate update programs.

Lesson: Plant Maintenance Information System (PMIS)

The info structure S115 contains the characteristics Order type, Maintenance activity types, Functional location, Equipment, and Month. It also contains all PM cost key figures and the key figures for created, planned, and unplanned orders.

Figure 16: Example: Info structure S115 - Cost Analysis

Standard field catalogs provide the info structure with characteristics and key figures. The field catalogs refer to the communication structures. The info structure S070 contains the characteristics object class, functional location, equipment, and month. The key figures MTTR and MTBR are determined using the individual history of a technical object.

19

Unit 1: Source Data in the ERP System

PLM318

Figure 17: Example: Info Structure S070 - Breakdown Analysis

The key figure Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) displays the mean time for which the object in question was not operational. The key figure Mean Time Between Repair (MTBR), on the other hand, represents the time for which the object in question was fully operational. Both key figures are displayed in hours, and are based on all damage reports that were created from the start-up date, and for which the breakdown indicator is selected. For technical objects for which no start-up date is entered in the master record, the system uses the end date of the first malfunction report for which the breakdown indicator is selected. In this case, the system does not take account of the first malfunction report in subsequent calculations. The system also only evaluates malfunction reports for which the start and the end of the breakdown is entered. It does not support evaluations based on the start time or downtime. The number of actual breakdowns is then calculated based on the total number of breakdowns. When calculating this time, the system merges two breakdowns that overlap or occur in immediate succession into one actual breakdown. The reference date/time for assigning the key figures MTTR and MTBR to a statistics period is the start of the actual breakdown. For longer-term breakdowns, this may mean that the key figures for subsequent periods cannot be calculated. Note that, in this context, the system only supports periodicity at the monthly level.

Principles for Updating Data

Figure 18: Update in the LIS

Special update modules are used to anchor the Logistics information systems to the SAP ERP system. The LIS update function uses data aggregation to implement one of the most important basic principles of the entire LIS concept. Update programs reduce the amount of operational data to its statistically-relevant parts. They compress data using periodical and object-related accumulation procedures and calculate meaningful key figures from the operational data using formulas and conditions. Statistical data for the LIS can be updated in parallel to the processing of operational data, to ensure that LIS information is consistent with data from operational applications. The data can also be updated periodically, to reduce system overload in the application systems.

Figure 19: Results of Maintenance Update

Object and document data is transferred to the interface between the application and information system when you end the relevant editing function by creating or changing and then saving your data. The communications interfaces only make the data available within the program, and the data is not stored in a permanent location. The update program of the relevant information structure records the data required for the corresponding key figure and updates it in the corresponding information structure. The data updated here is permanent and is available for the relevant standard analysis and all other evaluation tools.

Figure 20: Cost Update in PMIS

2006/Q2

PLM318

Lesson: Plant Maintenance Information System (PMIS)

Maintenance costs are updated by the following key figures in the information structures S061, S062, S065 and S115: • • • • • • • •

Total costs planned Total costs (actual) Internal wage costs Internal material costs External labor costs External material costs Service costs Other costs

The key figures for total costs are summarily updated independently of all other criteria, to provide the planned and/or consumed resources for an order. Updates to the other six key figures refer to the actual costs for an order and may be differentiated using value categories. In Customizing, you can determine which value categories are relevant for updating which key figures.

Figure 21: Update Using Info Structure S115 as an Example

The maintenance order is debited with the completion confirmation in time. The cost element that is assigned to the activity type (CO) is debited. The cost element is assigned to a value category (in this case, value category 615). The value category is in turn assigned to a key figure (such as the internal personnel costs IAPERKOSE).

2006/Q2

Unit 1: Source Data in the ERP System

PLM318

The key figure (in this case, IAPERKOSE) is part of the communication structure (in this case MCIQF) and is provided by a standard field catalog (in this case, BI12). The information structure (in this case, S115) consists of a combination of characteristics and key figures with a time reference. A standard analysis is based on the information structure.

Lesson: Basics Lesson Overview This lesson provides a brief overview of key concepts, the data model, and data flow in BW.

Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: •

List the basic concepts of the Business Information Warehouse

Business Example You want to use the Business Information Warehouse (BW), to run analyses in all system components. Before you do this, you will learn about basic concepts and processes in BW.

Introduction The Business Information Warehouse (BW) is a system that is independent of other SAP systems. It extracts data from diverse source systems (both SAP and non-SAP systems), restructures and reformats this data, and compiles it into efficient and user-friendly analyses. BW can run as an independent system together with other SAP or non-SAP systems, or it can be integrated into a mySAP ERP system.

Lesson: Basics

Figure 22: BW at a Glance

The cornerstone of BW is the BW server , which has preconfigured BI Content for the core areas of your company. BI Content is preconfigured role- and task-based information models that are based on consistent metadata. It provides a range of information that specific roles in a company require to perform their tasks. The Business Explorer (BEx) provides your company with flexible reporting and strategic analysis tools, to support the decision-making processes.

Technical Requirements From a technical point of view, BW represents Business Intelligence (BI) in the SAP NetWeaver integration and application platform. SAP NetWeaver facilitates implementation of the Enterprise Services Architecture (ESA). It allows you to standardize business processes across technological boundaries, integrate applications required by your employees, and easily access structured information and format it in line with your needs.

Figure 24: The mySAP ERP solution

Hint: It is worth differentiating between the license-, software-, and hardware-specific views. The fact that the mySAP ERP license includes SAP NetWeaver and, as a result, the Business Intelligence (BI) component (Business Intelligence with BW) does not necessarily mean that ERP and BW run on the same server. In most cases, BW will run on its own server, primarily to optimize performance.

Basic Concepts Communication between the source system and BW is broken down into the following steps: • • • • • •

Figure 25: Data Flow

Caution: Note that both the data model and data flow in Releases BW3.x and SAP NetWeaver 2004s BI differ, even as regards basic concepts such as DataSource and InfoSource. For more information, refer to the SAP Help Portal or the relevant BW course. Data that logically belong together are available in the source system in the form of DataSources. A DataSource comprises a number of fields that are provided in a flat structure (extraction structure) for data transfer to BW. It also describes the properties of the corresponding extractor for data transfer to BW. The extraction structure provides the DataSource with data in the source system. It contains the quantity of the fields that are provided by an extractor in the source system for the data loading process. An extractor is a method (for example, a function module) for loading data from source system datasets to a DataSource extraction structure. The transfer structure is the structure in which data from the source system is transported into BW. It represents a selection of the fields in the source system's extraction structure. A Persistent Staging Area (PSA) is the BW entry layer in which inbound data is saved transparently in its original form.

PLM318

Lesson: Basics

An InfoSource in BW describes the quantity of all available data of a business transaction type (such as Cost Center Accounting). An InfoSource always represents a quantity of InfoObjects that logically belong together. The structure in which they are stored is called a communication structure. An InfoObject is a business evaluation object. It is a superordinate term for characteristics, key figures and units. InfoProvider is the superordinate term for BI objects that represent data views or into which data is loaded. This data can usually be analyzed using BEx queries. Examples of InfoProviders include InfoCubes or DataStore objects (formerly known as ODS objects). InfoCubes are data containers used for reports and analyses in BW. They contain ordered characteristics and key figures, depending on their size. These are referred to as InfoObjects in BW. The dimension is a set of characteristics whose content is grouped together under a common superordinate term. If the dimension contains a characteristic whose value already uniquely defines the values of all other characteristics from a business point of view, then the dimension is named after this characteristic. A DataStore object (ODS) is used to store clean, consolidated transaction or master data at the document level (basic level). This data can be analyzed in a BEx query. A DataStore object contains key fields (such as document number and item) and data fields that can contain key figures and character fields (such as order status and customer. DataStore object data can be updated in InfoCubes by delta update, in other DataStore objects or master data tables (attributes or texts) in the same system, or across the entire system. Unlike multidimensional data storage for InfoCubes, data in DataStore objects is stored in transparent, non-nested database tables. Fact and dimension tables are not created.

Unit 2: Data Storage in BW

PLM318

Figure 26: Basic Concepts

Extraction is scheduled and implemented at specific intervals by BW. This means that data is not updated online between the source system and BW. As a result, data is obsolete if long periods of time elapse between extractions. This problem can be solved by scheduling regular extractions or by using real-time data acquisition. Real-time data acquisition supports the tactical decision-making process. As regards data procurement, it supports operational reporting as it allows data to be sent to the BW entry layer in real time (delta queue or PSA table). From there, it can be transferred to DataStore objects in the Operational Data Store Layer at short intervals. Data is stored persistently in BI. We recommend that you use real-time data acquisition if you wish to transfer data to BI more regularly than the scheduled intervals (every hour or minute), and if reporting data must be updated several times in one day. The DataSource must support real-time data acquisition. This is one possible characteristic of Web service DataSources and DataSources from the SAP source system. In DataSource maintenance, this characteristic is displayed under Real Time on the Extraction tab. DataSources from SAP source systems can be used for real-time data acquisition provided that BI Content DataSources are enabled for real-time data acquisition. The characteristic for real-time enabled must be set for generic DataSources in the generic delta settings (see the section on delta transfer to BI). Note that DataSources from SAP source systems can support real-time data acquisition in source systems as of BI Service API for SAP NetWeaver Release 2004s (plug-in

Lesson: Basics

2005.1). Also, only Web Service DataSources that you have defined using DataSource maintenance in BI can be used for real-time data acquisition. You use transformation between the PSA and the DataStore object and run the data transfer process to update data from PSA to the DataStore object.

Example: Structure of an InfoCube (Sales) The sections outlined below use a Sales and Distribution InfoCube to illustrate a self-contained business dataset that is stored in BW.

Figure 27: InfoCube in Sales and Distribution

The InfoCube displayed in the graphic above contains three dimensions: Time, customer, and material. Each dimension has its own dimension table. The dimension table groups together the characteristics that logically belong together (the customer name and region belong to the customer dimension, for example). Adhering to this design criterion ensures that the dimensions remain largely independent of each other and that the data volume of the dimension tables remains small, which helps optimize performance. From a technical point of view, several characteristics values are mapped to an abstract dimension key (DIM-ID) to which the values in the fact table relate. The characteristics selected for an InfoCube are distributed to InfoCube-specific dimensions when the InfoCube is created.

PLM318

Figure 28: Dimension Tables in Sales and Distribution

The fact table contains the InfoCube's key figures. Fact tables and dimensions are linked with each other by identifiable abstract numbers (IDs), that are in the key part of the relevant database table. The key figures of the InfoCube are related to the characteristics of the dimension. The characteristics define the granularity (the fineness) of the key figures in the InfoCube. Fact tables and dimension tables are relational database tables.

PLM318

Lesson: Basics

The InfoObjects are grouped in the InfoCube according to the star schema principle, that is, there is a (large) fact table that contains the InfoCube key figures, and several (smaller) dimension tables surrounding it that contain the InfoCube's characteristics (see the sections below). The characteristics point to the master data and its attributes and text descriptions. All InfoObjects (that is, characteristics with their master data and key figures) are available to all InfoCubes, unlike dimensions, which represent the special organizational structure of characteristics in an InfoCube. The BW master data is transferred by uploading it from the source system. It can be enhanced with other data from external systems.

Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: •

Describe BI Content in the area of Enterprise Asset Management

Business Example You are about to implement BW, and would like to use BI Content provided by SAP for Enterprise Asset Management.

General BI Content consists of predefined role- and task-related information models in mySAP Business Intelligence (BI) that are based on consistent metadata. BI Content provides a range of information that specific roles in a company require to perform their tasks. These information models mainly consist of roles, workbooks, queries, InfoSources, InfoCubes, ODS objects, key figures, characteristics, update rules, and extractors for SAP applications. BI Content is shipped as an add-on to mySAP BI. The add-on is called SAP NW 2004s BI Content Add-On 3. BI Content speeds up implementation and lowers implementation costs. It also provides a model that incorporates implementation guidelines and experience from previous go-lives.

Query 0QM_C07_Q001 displays information on maintenance notification activities and their frequency. Query 0QM_C08_Q001 displays the number and status of tasks triggered for maintenance notifications. Query 0QM_C09_Q003 displays the damage codes entered, and the frequency with which they occur. Query 0QM_C09_Q0007 allows you to determine damage codes for maintenance and service notifications. This query was developed for the Maintenance Technician Business Package. Web template 00TPLI_QM_C09_Q0007_V01 is also available for this query. You can use query 0QM_C09_Q0010 to evaluate the frequency with which a problem occurs for each notification category. Query 0QM_C10_Q001 contains information on the number of notifications that exist for technical objects. The queries 0PM_DS02_Q0001 and 0PM_DS02_Q0002 determine the key figures MTTR (Mean Time to Repair) and MTBR (Mean Time between Repairs), based on the individual history of a technical object. The key figure MTTR displays the mean time for which the object in question was not operational. MTBR, on the other hand, represents the time for which the relevant object was fully operational. The system uses all malfunction reports that were entered from the start-up date, and for which the breakdown indicator is selected, to calculate these key figures. For technical objects for which no start-up date is entered in the master record, the system uses the end date of the first malfunction report for which the breakdown indicator is selected. In this case, the system does not take account of the first malfunction report in subsequent calculations. The system also only analyzes malfunction reports in which the start and end of the breakdown is entered. It does not support evaluations based on the start time or downtime. The system then calculates the actual number of breakdowns based on the total number of notified breakdowns for a technical object. It merges two breakdowns that overlap timewise into one actual breakdown. The reference date/time for assigning the key figures MTTR and MTBR to a statistics period is the start of the actual breakdown. For longer-term breakdowns, this may mean that the key figures for subsequent periods cannot be calculated. MTTR = Total of actual downtime/Number of actual breakdowns MTBR = Total of actual time between breakdowns/Number of actual breakdowns Web Template 0TPLI_PM_DS02_Q0002_V01 is also available for query 0PM_DS02_Q0002.

Lesson: Working with Queries in Enterprise Asset Management Lesson Overview This lesson looks at practical aspects of working with queries in Enterprise Asset Management.

Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: •

Run different queries in Enterprise Asset Management

Business Example You implement maintenance tasks for technical equipment in your company in the ERP system. You would like to run different reports and analyses for these business transactions in BW, using standard queries available in the system. You also want to use Web templates to access analyses.

The Front-End – Business Explorer (BEx) The Business Explorer (BEx) SAP NetWeaver's Business Intelligence Suite. It provides you with flexible reporting and evaluation tools to carry out strategic analyses and support decision-making processes in your company. BEx contains the following tools: • • • •

BEx Query Designer BEx Web Application Designer BEx Broadcaster BEx Analyzer

Provided you are authorized to access the system, you can display different levels of detail for historic and current data, and analyze this data from different angles using the Portal or Microsoft Excel. BEx tools also allow you to create planning applications, and enter data in BI-integrated planning.

Unit 2: Data Storage in BW

PLM318

Figure 38: BEx Suite

BEx Query Designer The data used in SAP NetWeaver BI is broken down into standalone, business-specific data areas known as InfoProviders. You can define InfoProvider queries in the BEx Query Designer, allowing you to evaluate BI data. By selecting and combining InfoObjects (characteristics and key figures) and reusable structures in a query, you can determine how the system analyzes data for the relevant InfoProvider. BEx Web Application Designer The BEx Web Application Designer is a desktop application that allows you to create Web applications. You can use it to generate HTML pages that contain a variety of BI-specific content such as tables, charts, and maps. Web applications are based on Web templates that you can create and change in the Web Application Designer. You can save the Web templates and access them from the Web browser or Portal. Web templates are referred to as Web applications once they have been implemented in the Web. The Web Application Designer also allows you to use standard markup languages and the Web Design API to create tailor-made scenarios with user-specific interface elements. The Web applications that you create in this way are BEx Web-based applications for data analysis, reporting, and analytical applications. BEx Broadcaster

PLM318

Lesson: Working with Queries in Enterprise Asset Management

BEx Information Broadcasting allows you to distribute by e-mail BI Content (such as Web templates, queries, query views, reports, and workbooks) as predefined documents with historic data, for example, or as links with live data. Alternatively, you can make this content to to a wider audience by publishing it on the Portal (in the Knowledge Management folder or in collaboration rooms). In addition to predefined documents that contain historic data, you can create online links to queries and Web applications. The Business Explorer portal role illustrates the options available to you when working with BI Content in the Portal. BEx Analyzer The BEx Analyzer is an evaluation, reporting and design tool available in the Business Explorer. It is integrated in Microsoft Excel. The BEx Analyzer allows you to evaluate specific InfoProvider data, and use this data for planning purposes, by navigating queries created by the BEx Query Designer. You can use the context menu or the drag and drop function to this end. You can insert design items such as dropdown boxes, radio button groups and buttons in your Microsoft Excel worksheets, to customize the interface for your queries. In this way, you can transform a Microsoft Excel worksheet into a complete query application.

Calling a Query You can call a query from the BEx Analyzer or from the role menu, using a Web template. Queries format InfoProvider data (for example, an InfoCube or DataStore object) in a specific manner, and provide a range of filters that you can use to analyze different aspects. You can use the following options: • • • • • • • • • •

Save views Set filters Set bookmarks Define variables Create exceptions Create conditions Insert comments Export data (to Microsoft Excel, for example) Display different graphical displays Broadcast information

All EAM queries use a standard Web template.

Unit 2: Data Storage in BW

PLM318

The standard template contains the following screen elements: • • • • •

Query view header Analysis Graphic display Information Sending and publishing (Information Broadcasting)

The Information tab displays general information on a query, and can be used to sect the following restrictions: Static filter: Filter set in the query definition. Dynamic filter: Runtime filter set by user Variables: Variables with valuation set in the query definition Information Broadcasting allows information to be sent by e-mail or to the portal. Queries provide a range of analysis and export functions. For example, it allows you to filter a dataset using specific criteria.

Portal Integration You can seamlessly integrate BI Content into the Portal using the BEx Broadcaster, KM Content, the SAP Role Upload or the Portal Content Studio. Depending on the type of integration, you generate different objects with different displays in the Portal. The Portal allows you to access applications from other systems and sources such as the Internet or Intranet. This means that you can access structured and unstructured information from a central point of access. In addition to Knowledge Management, Internet, and Intranet content, you can access business data from data analysis.

Figure 44: BI – Portal Integration

The Portal content area can contain the following types of BI Content: • • • • • •

BEx Web Application as an iView Predefined BEx Web Application as a document in Knowledge Management BEx Web application as a link in Knowledge Management BEx Analyzer workbooks BI documents Web interface (from BW-BPS)

BEx Web Application as an iView A BEx Web Application as an iView displays current data from the BI report. From a technical point of view, the BEx Web application is called directly in the BI system. You can combine the BEx Web Application as an iView, as part of a portal page, with other iViews from different systems. You can change the iView characteristics, to display BI bookmarks or BEx queries. Predefined BEx Web Application as a Document in Knowledge Management You can use BEx Information Broadcasting to predefine BEx Web applications and store them as a document in Knowledge Management. The predefined BEx Web applications contain historic data on specific points in time. These documents can also be displayed in an iView. BEx Web Application as a Link in Knowledge Management

2006/Q2

71

Unit 2: Data Storage in BW

PLM318

You can create links to BEx Web Applications in Knowledge Management. The links display current data from the BI report. Unlike BEx Web applications as an iView, this call is made indirectly using Repository Manager for BI metadata. You can use collaboration functions as documents and links to BEx Web applications. It is not possible to use collaboration with BEx Web applications as an iView. BEx Analyzer Workbooks In addition to BEx Web Applications as iViews or as documents, BEx Analyzer workbooks play a particularly key role. Workbooks can be incorporated into and called from the Portal. They are opened in a separate Microsoft Excel window. For technical reasons, it is not possible to open workbooks from the Web browser window. BI Documents You can use the Repository Manager to integrate the documents and metadata stored in the BI system (in particular the metadata documentation) into the Portal's Knowledge Management area, where they are displayed for users with other documents in a folder structure. Individual documents can also be displayed as an iView. Web Interface (From BW-BPS) A Web interface (from BW-BPS) is a Web-enabled planning application structured as a business server page application (BSP application) that is created using the Web Interface Builder. You can combine a Web interface as part of a portal page as an iView, together with other views such as BEx Web applications.

SAP Analytics SAP Analytics contains both cross-industry and industry-specific analytic applications. It is based on the SAP NetWeaver platform, which optimizes the use of existing application components, irrespective of the provider in question. Functions for analyses, transactions, and collaboration are seamlessly integrated. SAP Analytics is implemented using composite applications (xAPPs). xAPPs are meta applications that provide functional services for existing applications, providing a new application in the process. The development tools contained in the SAP NetWeaver Visual Composer provide easy access to fine-tuned visualization functions. These include the comprehensive, robust functions of Macromedia Flex, which can be used to automatically create Flash graphics, simplifying and optimizing the user interface for most users.

Unit 2: Data Storage in BW

PLM318

Downtime Analysis uses data from the maintenance notification, and provides the maintenance manager with an overview of technical equipment and its availability. From a technical point of view, the InfoProviders 0PM_DS02 and 0QM_C06, and the queries 0PM_DS02_Q0003 and 0QM_C06_Q006 are used. The system views the key figure Technical Availability, which can be displayed as a quotient of the standard operation time and downtime (MTBR/(MTBR + MTTR)). This key figure is color-coded using specific threshold values, allowing you to easily identify if a situation is critical: • • •

Green = OK (technical availability: 100 – 96 %) Yellow = Not OK (technical availability: 95.9 – 80%) Red = Critical (technical availability: 79.9 – 0%)

If necessary, you can drill down to a detail view for critical items (objects, object parts, damage, causes), to effectively address the problem.

Figure 47: Maintenance Cost Monitor – Work View

This application displays the maintenance costs for work centers, broken down into planned and actual costs. You can drill down to the cost element if necessary. From a technical point of view, the InfoProvider 0PM_C01 and the query 0PM_C01_Q0002 are used.

Answers 1.

InfoObjects in BW are the info structures that are extracted from the Logistics Information System. Answer: False InfoObjects are characteristics, key figures and units in BW.

2.

InfoCubes are multidimensional data containers made up of different InfoObjects. Answer: True InfoCubes are data containers that represent a self-contained business area, and are structured according to dimensions. The dimension is a set of characteristics whose content is grouped together under a common superordinate term. This means that an InfoCube systematically evolves from a quantity, after a specific evaluation target of structured InfoObjects.

3.

The extractor is the superuser responsible for extracting data from the source system. Answer: False An extractor is a program that can load data from source system datasets into the extraction structure of a DataSource.

4.

A query is an automatically generated program that extracts data from the source system, and compares the field lengths between the ERP system and BW. Answer: False A query is an analysis that is based on an InfoCube or other InfoProvider, and evaluates a business-specific dataset using specific criteria (for example, planned and actual costs in maintenance orders for a specific plant).

Lesson: Budget Planning Lesson Overview This lesson provides an overview of how to plan maintenance budgets in BW-BPS.

Lesson Objectives After completing this lesson, you will be able to: •

Use the planning function BW-BPS to plan maintenance budgets

Business Example You would like to use consolidated data in BW to plan the maintenance budget for the coming year, using the zero-based and history-based budgeting method.

Maintenance Cost Budgeting (MCB) You can use BW-BPS (Business Information Warehouse - Business Planning and Simulation) to plan budgets in Plant Maintenance and Customer Services. A maintenance budget generally refers to the budget for all costs that arise in relation to the inspection, maintenance, and repair of technical assets in a certain time period.

Lesson: Budget Planning

The ERP system transfers the required data to BW, and the Maintenance Cost Budgeting (MCB) application provides an integrated planning environment for the data. The planning process contains at least the following individual steps: •

• •

• •

The responsible manager/maintenance manager creates one or more planning versions for specifying the budget (for example, minimum version, maximum version). He or she can draw on historic data as the basis for budget planning. The manager sends a version of the specified budget to the responsible maintenance planner. The maintenance planner uses BW reports to draw up a budget proposal. These reports are created, for example, by extracting maintenance data from ERP EAM (zero-based or history-based). The maintenance planner sends the budget proposal to the manager. The manager approves or rejects the proposal (iterative process). The result of this approval process can be forwarded to the ERP system using a BAdI. This forms the basis for the actual maintenance planning process. Hint: Retraction of the planned budget in the ERP system is not automatically carried out in the ERP system. You can use the BADI UPA_MCB_RETRACT to implement it manually (more information is available in transaction SE18). After retraction, the budget can be assigned in ERP as follows: • •

From Project System using WBS elements From Investment Management using investment program items

It is still not possible to directly assign the budget to the technical object.

Figure 50: MCB Roles

You must carry out a number of tasks, depending on the role assigned to you in your company's maintenance organization. SAP has identified the following roles for the planning process: • • • • •

94

MCB administrator: Responsible for MCB Customizing, and defining the budget planning process Maintenance manager: Responsible for defining, triggering, monitoring, and completing the budget planning process Maintenance budget planner: Responsible for planning the budget for his/her own area of responsibility Maintenance engineer: Responsible for ensuring that operational maintenance master data is complete and correct (not an MCB user) BW operator: Responsible for BW-BPS data (not an MCB user)

Figure 51: Planning scenarios

The planning scenarios outlined in the graphic above are available for the history-based and zero-based budgeting methods. You can use budget categories to classify a budget in relation to the planning of a maintenance measure (for example, preventive, planned, or unplanned). • • •

Preventive ($M): Costs from routine maintenance work that is planned using maintenance plans Planned ($P): Costs from sporadic maintenance work, that is planned using task lists or individually using orders. Unplanned ($U): Costs that arise from an unplanned maintenance measure, such as repair of a machine breakdown caused by damage The individual budget categories are linked to the specified planning scenarios by the zero- or history-based budgeting method. In the standard configuration, the costs for the budget category proposal can be broken down as follows: For the zero-based budgeting method, the values are determined using the maintenance plan scenario. For the history-based budgeting method, the values are determined using the historic or ad-hoc scenario.

Figure 52: History-Based Planning Scenario

For the history-based budgeting method, you create your maintenance budget using historic data, in particular historic actual costs from maintenance and service orders. You upload historic data for actual costs from maintenance orders or settlements from your ERP system into InfoCube 0PM_C01 in BW. Data from InfoCube 0PM_C01 must be copied into the BPS Planning Cube 0PM_C06 using the Cube Copy function. This is how you aggregate your data for your MCB planning application. This data serves as the planning basis for your maintenance budget. The following planning scenarios exist for the history-based budgeting method: •

•

96

History-based scenario: This planning scenario is based on historic data, for example, the equipment history, or maintenance orders for your vehicles, equipment, and pumps. Ad-hoc scenario: This planning scenario is based on ad hoc or customized data entry. That is, when you create budget proposals using this budgeting method, you do not have to base them on historic data.

Figure 53: Zero-Based Planning Scenario

When using the zero-based budgeting method, you create a budget based on planned data, in particular simulated planned costs. Rather than being determined using actual data, the budget is drawn up based on planned tasks. Task lists and maintenance plans are used as planning aids. The planned value of the services in the budget (work, external services, material) is determined automatically and are used as simulated costs to form the basis of budget planning. You upload the planned data from existing task lists or maintenance plans in your ERP system into InfoCube 0PM_C05 in BW. Data from InfoCube 0PM_C05 must be copied into the BPS Planning Cube 0PM_C06 using the Cube Copy function. This is how you aggregate your data for your MCB planning application. The following planning scenarios exist for the zero-based budgeting method: • • •

2006/Q2

Task list scenario: Planning based on the cost simulation of task lists Maintenance plan scenario: Planning based on the cost simulation of maintenance plans Ad-hoc scenario: Planning scenario based on ad-hoc or customized data entry. That is, when you create budget proposals for this budgeting method, you do not have to base them on historic data.

Figure 54: Budget Distribution

The maintenance planner can use history-based or zero-based budgeting methods to create budget proposals. The planner can distribute the data to the defined periods manually or using planning functions. You can use the following planning functions to distribute the budget: History-based budgeting method: For the history-based scenario you can leave period distribution the same as the way in which costs were incurred for past orders. Alternatively, you can use the ad-hoc scenario to distribute the budget proposal evenly across the periods. Zero-based budgeting method: For the task list scenario, the budget proposal is distributed evenly across the periods based on task lists. For the maintenance plan scenario, the budget proposal is divided across the periods in the same way that the costs are incurred in the maintenance plan schedule. For the ad-hoc scenario, the budget proposal is distributed evenly across the periods.
