Corporate loans management

Question

HI Experts
My client is looking to implement loans management ,
Typically they take loans( syndicate loans) from various banks/lending agencies. They want a system in place wherein they can track all information relating to these loans, Calculation of Interest and posting of it automatically, cash flow reports, information relating to Drawdown   etc..
SAP offered this as part of CFM in 4.7, however client is now on ECC 6.0 and they want this module to be implemented specifically. 
It would of immense help if you can provide suggestions (or an overview would be great) as to how to handle this requirement in ECC

Answer 1

Hi Chris,
If SAP is not supplying you with a DataSource from the standard business content, then you will have to write your extracts for BW.
Here are some options:
1) Create some generic DataSource using tcode RSO2
2) Write ABAP extracts to pull the data into a file or XML file, then load the data into BW
3) Create a remote cube in BW to view the data in your BW system.
I prefer option 1 since you get the data into BW using the BW API in R/3 and you can use any of the BW tools to manage and load data within BW.  Options 2 and 3 work, but they could have more overhead on R/3 than you want.
Cheers! Bill
