DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this article is to provide adequate instruction to implement any complex SAP HANA data model. Users will learn various building blocks that are required to implement any SAP HANA data model. SAP HANA data model is not just creating an attribute view, analytical view and calculation view, and also it is not a technical implementation, it is an “Art”. SAP HANA data model is the foundation for any SAP HANA enabled business transformation initiatives. SAP HANA data model and data architecture should be driven from business process and the model should fully leverage SAP HANA’s in memory computing power and also the build in out of the box SAP HANA functionality such as stored procedures, functions, database triggers, hierarchies, calculated measures, restricted measures, calculated attributes, dynamic currency conversions, input parameters, and much more. Consider all of these key capabilities of SAP HANA while transforming business problems into a SAP HANA enabled solutions. In this document we are explaining the objective of each data model building block, and also its implementation steps. Users should be able to follow this guide and implement any SAP HANA data model.

Executive Business Summary The purpose of this article is to provide adequate instruction to implement any complex SAP HANA data model.

SAP HANA data model is not just creating an attribute view, analytical view and calculation view, and also it is not a technical implementation, it is an Art.

SAP HANA Data Model Key Building Blocks Attribute view Analytical view Calculation view through scripts Stored procedure Functions Database triggers Variables Input parameters Hierarchy Decision tables Dynamic currency conversion Data Import Key Consideration for SAP BPC on HANA Data Model We are presenting this consideration after our deep research on BPC on HANA and also our extensive SAP BPC industry implementation experience. What we have seen on a BPC on HANA implementation, most of the implementation resources are not able to realize the power and role of SAP HANA on a planning, forecasting and consolidation solution designFor faster data processing and quick response, Consider SAP HANA inmemory computing power for complex calculations instead of using SAP BPC script logic Leverage SAP HANA information modeling capabilities such as attribute view, analytical view and calculation view Use SAP HANA data management capabilities such as SLT (SAP landscape transformation) and SAP BusinessObjects Data Services instead of SAP BPC data managerAuthor: Yogendra Vaithilingam SAP BPC Consultant SAP EPM Community Member [email protected] EPM/HANA Community Service 11/28/2013Chief Architect: Jothi Periasamy SAP HANA/EPM/BI/EIM Community Leader SAP BPC/BOBJ/BI/MDM Domain Champion [email protected], (916)-296-0228 - CellCloneSkills, Inc., http://www.CloneSkills.com , [email protected] , 1.800.836.8959, Page - 5 6. ______________________________________________________________ 1.2.

Key Assumptions Before we go further, it has been assumed that the user has basic knowledge about SAP HANA and also an understanding on database concepts and the fundamentals around entity relationship data model, multi dimensional data model, tables and SQL.SAP HANA Defined:Author: Yogendra Vaithilingam SAP BPC Consultant SAP EPM Community Member [email protected] EPM/HANA Community Service 11/28/2013Chief Architect: Jothi Periasamy SAP HANA/EPM/BI/EIM Community Leader SAP BPC/BOBJ/BI/MDM Domain Champion [email protected], (916)-296-0228 - CellCloneSkills, Inc., http://www.CloneSkills.com , [email protected] , 1.800.836.8959, Page - 8 9. ______________________________________________________________ SAP HANA Data Model Implementation StepsNote: The following section explains various steps that we will be performing while designing and implementing SAP HANA data model.

Creating TablesNote: The following section explains various steps that we will be performed to create the SAP HANA base tables which is required for an optimal information modeling There are other options to create (or replicate) tables in SAP HANA, here is just one of them and also we are using some sample tables and columns Please feel free to contact us for any further support and detailsThe structure of a database, its schema, is defined by tables and the relationships among them, described by SQL. SAP HANA supports two types of tables: Dimension tables are typically master data Fact tables are lists of business transactions In the below example, we have created various tables like Employee table, Department table, Wage Type table, Payroll table and Employee Audit table which are used later in this document to explain different features of SAP HANA data model.

Creating Attribute View Attribute Views are the dimensions of SAP HANA analytics and these are created to serve as a reusable type of view. We can create Attribute Views to represent items such as customers/employees, products, departments, dates, salespersons, salary, wages and cost centers. In the below example, we are creating different Attribute Views Attribute View for Employee, Department, Wage Type which are used for explaining other features of SAP HANA data model in this document.

Decision Table Decision table is a way in business rules realm to formulate rules of business, company or corporation in a table structure. Decision table comprises of columns and rows where columns describe the definition and an operation of the rules and rows represents the value associated with these definitions and operations respectively. The columns are thus classified as: 1. Condition Column definition of the rule 2. Action Column - operation to the performed if the conditions are satisfied. In the below example, we are creating decision table for employee payroll having condition for Dept_ID and action as salary increment, i.e. when Dept_ID is D001 the salary of an employee belonging to the Dept D001 will get the commission along with the salary (Salary_Increment = Emp_Salary + Emp_Comm where Dept_ID=D001) Implementation: 8.1.

Currency Conversion In many reporting scenarios, it is often required to display the financial figures in multiple currencies. For example, most of the systems capture the net sales in the local currency of the Store. For the Country level local reporting, it is often required to report the Net sales in the Local currency. But for the Regional Head Quarter reporting, the Net Sales values need to be converted to the Regional currency. The same figure at the Global Head Quarter might be required in the Global currency. While converting the Net Sales from one currency to other, different exchange rates might be applicable. Based on the nature of report and Functional area of the users, the Exchange rate could be Monthly / Yearly Actual or Budgeted. Also depending upon the time, the users may prefer to apply the exchange rate applicable this month, previous month, beginning of this year or even last year. In the below example, for reporting purpose we are converting employee's salary from EUR to USD currency. Implementation: 10.1.

Hierarchy In SAP HANA, we have a choice of creating 2 types of hierarchies: Level Hierarchy Parent Child Hierarchy In Level hierarchy each level represents a position in the hierarchy. For example, a time dimension might have a hierarchy that represents data at the month, quarter, and year levels. Each level above the base (or most detailed) level contains aggregate values for the levels below it. Hierarchies and levels have a many-to-many relationship. A hierarchy typically contains several levels, and a single level can be included in more than one hierarchy. In the below example, we have created level hierarchy at 3 levels - department, employee manager and employee name. The result will display all the employee names reporting to a manager belonging to a particular department. Implementation: 11.1. Select the AN_DEPARTMENT attribute view.
