SAP BI tools for FI reports

Hello everybody,
I am SAP FICO consultant but new to SAP BI. I have a requirement that uses BI tools to create FI reports and I need to give functional specs. Can anyone give me general guideline to do that? More specifically, I have following questions:
1. I Names of SAP BI tools that are used for SAP FI reporting.
2. Can anyone also send me material / links to the readings that could help understand creating functional specs for such reports?
3. It would also tremendously help me if anyone can tell me the difference between functional specs for ABAP reports Vs. BI reports. I have worked on ABAP functional specs but not on BI reports.
Thank you,
Sonia

1. you'll need to extract data into BW, so you'll need to set up a Data Model for FI; then depending on which kind of reports, you'll need BEx Query Designer, BEx Analyzer, Report Designer, Web Application Designer or any of the BOBJ tools (or external party tools)
2. /
3. I personally would be fine with ABAP specs... basically what one needs to know is which data you wish to see in what format and how that data can be found in the source system... if calculations are necessary, those have to be delivered as well
Important is to determine the granularity of data

  • Tool for Formating Report

    Hi Experts,
    In our project we are using two mode for presentation one is broadcasting and second is formating of reports with proper format needed by client .
    now for broadcasting of reports we are using SAP portal.
    and for Formating we are using a third party tool known as "Cognos 8 IBM .
    Now is there any way in SAP BI where I dont have to use third party tool for formating and generating reports? i.e. formating and broadcasting will be done in SAP BI only.
    Please help

    Hi,
    Thanks for sujjesting...but the problem with SAP BI VC KIT is we have to design it from the ground level....for say it will take the data from respirotary connect it with J2EE server and give me the output...though the process is really good and can combine two different buisness senario but my issue is Cognos wat I am using for report format is already a establish tool of the process .....and in the process two ways we are generating report one in in BW and one is in Cognos ,BW report is for Enterprise Portal which all the internal client's are using but Cognos report are being used by end user where company logo and lots of details are getting generated In PDF format. I cannot replace existing BW tool , but wanted to use BI where I can upgrade BW and remove Cognos use....is there any way for that?
    and for BI WEB reporting which is much semiliar to BW web reporting ......

  • SAP Integration Kit for Crystal Reports

    Hello,
    I read Ingo Hilgefort's blog on BusinessObjects and SAP Part 2.
    /people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/02/19/businessobjects-and-sap-part-2
    Does the current trial version of crystal reports available from businessobjects.com have this integration kit embedded in it?
    If not, where can i find it?
    Regards,
    Suraj

    hi shenoy,
    SAP Integration Kit
    The SAP integration kit includes drivers to allow connectivity to both R3 and Business Warehouse (BW). In addition, it includes a BW toolbar for Crystal Reports, a specific version of InfoView with Role-based links, sample iViews for Enterprise Portal, and an SDK in Java, COM, or .NET.
    Reporting off R3 Data
    The kit includes two drivers to allow Crystal Reports to connect to the ABAP data dictionary via a remote function call or RFC.
    The Open SQL driver allows the user to connect to SAP R3, displaying the field and the short text description of the tables and fields. The developer can then join the tables accordingly, using the database expert, and then select the relevant fields from which to report. This driver displays not only transparent tables, but includes views, pool tables, cluster tables, ABAP data clusters, and ABAP functions. This driver is geared toward a technical person with functional expertise in joining the tables and then creating the report.

This driver displays not only transparent tables, but includes views, pool tables, cluster tables, ABAP data clusters, and ABAP functions. This driver is geared toward a technical person with functional expertise in joining the tables and then creating the report.
    Note
    In Crystal Reports, you cannot check the SQL generated using the Show SQL Query option from the Database menu. You can check what Open SQL was generated by using SAP transactions.
    The InfoSet driver allows the user to connect to an existing InfoSet, as defined by SAP transaction SQ02. Alternatively, you can use an existing ABAP query, as defined by SAP transaction SQ01. The benefit of this driver is that the user does not need to know where the data is stored or how to join the tables. Another advantage is that any prompts defined in the InfoSet become parameters in Crystal Reports.
    Note
    To test the InfoSet query, run the InfoSet using your SAP GUI and ensure that it is pulling the required data first before testing it in Crystal Reports.
    Reporting off BW Data
    When reporting off of BW data, the Business Objects' Integration Kit consists of three drivers that are used to pull data.
    The BW Query driver enables the user to connect to a BW query. To enable selection of a query with this driver, Crystal Reports has its own toolbar, as shown in Figure 15.3, and the user needs to select the New Report icon from this toolbar. The user then selects the required BW query, and thus displays a listing of fields available in the query. The user can then create the report using any of those fields. Variables defined in the query automatically become Crystal Reports parameters. After the user has finished building the report, the user saves the report using the BW toolbar. This saves the report to BW, and if the user selects the option to do so, automatically publishes the report to Enterprise.
    Figure 15.3. Crystal Reports after the SAP integration kit is loaded. Note the SAP menu and BW toolbar.
    [View full size image]
    Two new drivers have been added to the XI R2 version of the SAP Integration Kit.
    The MDX query driver supports using Crystal Reports to report off either a SAP BW query or a BW Cube.
    Furthermore, it adds additional functionality by providing support for
    A structure in both the row and column of the BW query
    Hierarchy node and hierarchy node variables
    Free characteristics in a BW query
    The Operational Data Store or ODS driver exposes the ODS tables, so that they look much like the tables of any relational database. However, because of the structure of the objects, it considers them to be like a database stored procedure.
    Connecting to the ODS objects is not performed with the SAP toolbar described here, but rather by selecting the driver from the Data Explorer as shown in Chapter 1, "Creating and Designing Basic Reports." After the user has finished building the report, the report can be saved back to BW and published to Business Objects Enterprise by selecting the Automatically Publish to Enterprise check box, as shown in Figure 15.4.
    Figure 15.4. The additional options after saving a Crystal Report to SAP BW.
    Note
    This publishing method requires some setup. Please refer to the Installation documentation for further details.
    Note
    Both the ODS and MDX drivers require SAP transports to be loaded on the SAP BW system. Please refer to the Installation CD in the Transports folder for further details.
    Using OLAP or Web Intelligence to Report off BW Data
    Included in the SAP Integration Kit are specific drivers to allow OLAP Intelligence and Web Intelligence to report off of SAP BW.
    To connect to a BW cube or query using OLAP Intelligence, open the connection browser and select Add. Select SAP Business Information Warehouse and then proceed to fill in the relevant data, as shown in Figure 15.5.
    Figure 15.5. The information required to connect to a BW cube or query from OLAP Intelligence.
    [View full size image]
    After you are connected, select the query or cube and process to build the report, as described in Chapter 19, "Creating OLAP Intelligence Reports."
    Web Intelligence is new to XI R2 and requires that a universe be built on a BW Cube or Query. However, to aid in this process, Designer builds the universe for you. To do this, select SAP from the list of connects and fill out the required information, as displayed in Figure 15.6.
    Figure 15.6. The information required to connect to a BW cube or query from Web Intelligence.
    [View full size image]
    Finish the remainder of the wizard and when you click OK, Designer generates the Universe for you. It may be necessary to move some of the objects around to suit your needs, but when you are finished, export to Business Objects Enterprise.
    Note
    Only the BW query driver does not require the query be released for external access. The Web Intelligence, OLAP Intelligence, and MDX drivers require the user to release the BW query. To release a query, select the query properties in the BW Query Designer and select the Extended Tab and then check Allow External Access to This Query.
    Viewing the Reports
    Your SAP reports can be viewed either via the SAP integration kit's InfoView or via SAP Enterprise Portal 6. The integration kit provides a number of sample iViews that can be imported by a portal administrator. These include
    Folder iView The folders a user has access to are displayed, and from here a user can run her reports.
    Alert iView Shows all the alerts that have been triggered by Crystal Reports. The user can then click on the report to view the report. The creation of alerts is defined in Chapter 11, "Using Record Selections and Alerts for Interactive Reporting."
    Thumbnail iView This iView displays the Crystal Report as a thumbnail of the report. The user can then click on the thumbnail to run the report.
    Note
    These are sample iViews. The organization can create its own iViews via the provided SDK.
    BusinessObjects InfoView for SAP is a unique version of InfoView designed for integration with SAP BW systems. This integration includes features such as the ability to log on to InfoView using your SAP username and password. Related to authentication is the ability to access your roles and the Crystal Reports saved to these roles. The roles are defined in Enterprise as folders. The user can also schedule reports in the different languages loaded into SAP BW. This creates an instance for each language.

  • Database - Best tool for making report

    Hi everybody,
    We're developping an application with HTML-DB. Our users want to extract some reports.Those users are used to work MS-Excel to make reports.
    My question is what is the best tool for producing this kind of reports ?
    Is it with HTML DB (report), Discoverer or Oracle Reports ?
    Thank you. Bye.

    The answer, as with all of ORacle's products, is "It depends".
    Oracle Discoverer, once set up, is very easy to use as a 'developer' and as a 'report recipient' across the web. Looks and feels like Excel. Personally my first choice for a medium user to power user level from a 'create reports' perspective. Prepare to have a Disco Administrator, but that is usually a 'power user' rather than an IT guru.
    Oracle Reports is much more powerful, useful for high-end reporting and control of reporting such as multi-bursting to individual printers, caching, PDF and CSS generation - but it requires a person who is interested in becoming competent at reports. It's also a bit of a bear to set up.
    A lot of reports can be accomplished using SQLPlus or iSQLPlus. Too many people are not aware of the power of the environment and end up going for high-end tools when SQLPlus will do.
    HTMLDB is OK and designed to be simple. I haven't used it much, so I'm the wrong person to comment.

  • What is suitable method or Tool for Generate Reports or Inovice?

    Which Tool or Class is suitable for Generate Reports or Inovice?
    i hope to make some reports and invoice for my project,
    but i don't know what is suitable class to generate and show report and invoice.
    can you give me some advice?
    thanks!

    My report consists of one main repeating frame containing about 15 (detail) repeating frames. The main frame starts a new page each time the deposit (master record) changes and resets the physical page number at the top of the page. In the property palate, I have Source set to my deposit number and Maximum Records per Page set to 1 and this results in the start next deposit on a new page.
    I can't find any 'BREAK' command that would result in the action I need - and there seems to be nothing in the SRW_package or conditional formatting that might help.
    What I was hoping was that there would be a command somewhere that I have missed, that would cause a new report to be written each time the deposit (or master record) changes, rather than one huge report.
    Thanks for the suggestion

  • SAP Standard Tools for compliance

    Hello,
    i heard that SAP has standard tools available for compliance i.e. AIS, MIC..etc. They are smaller in scope than GRC.  Could someone help show me where I can find them in my SAP v4.6c system.
    Many thanks.
    Charles
    PS: I intend to post this in the GRC forum as well.

    > PS: I intend to post this in the GRC forum as well.
    Officially, that would be non-compliant with the SoX "rules of engagement" of this site
    However I can understand special cases where it is usefull to go beyond forum boundaries and have made a suggestion for a feature to mirror threads to other related forums. However that is on a long and prioritized list of suggestions.
    Back to your question: If you start transaction SECR then a 46C system will tell you more about the AIS. Also see report RSUSR009 (and the newer one RSUSR008_009_NEW). Tcode AUT10 might also be of interest.
    To my knowledge there is nothing in the standard 46C system which "brings it all together" like GRC intends to.

  • Just discovered I need a reference tool for research reports with pages...

    I love the great tutorial that tells you to insert a function that does not come standard with pages.  One would really think a bibliography tool or simple endnote feature would be pretty basic for a word processor.
    So.....EndNote is the featured program on the tutorial....though I don't believe it is made by Apple (?). 
    Q:  Are there other options for a program that will do research report-level citations in Pages?  Or do I have to now spend 2x what I paid for the entire iWorks suite for this simple luxury?

  • Sql/xml - powerful tool for complex reports

    I just want to share euphoria...
    HTMLDB itself provides powerful ways how to control the design of the page - various types of regions, page types, templates...
    Nevertheless sometimes you need even more precise control over the content and format of the displayed page. The combination of SQL/XML and HTMLDB solves it in very elegant way.
    - create page with common SQL report region.
    - prepare the SELECT gathering the data to be displayed
    - prepare another SELECT using SQL/XML functions adding HTML formating tags upon the first select.
    Example:
    select
    XMLTYPE.getStringVal(
    XMLElement("table",
    XMLAttributes('5' as cellpadding),
    XMLConcat(
    XMLElement("tr",
    XMLElement("td",
    XMLAttributes('left' as align, 'top' as valign),
    XMLElement("a",
    XMLAttributes(provider_url as href),
    XMLElement("img",XMLAttributes(provider_icon as src, provider_name as alt, provider_name as title))
    XMLElement("td",
    XMLAttributes('left' as align, 'top' as valign, '150' as width),
    XMLElement("a",
    XMLAttributes(event_url as href),
    XMLElement("div",XMLAttributes('font-weight:bold; font-style:normal; font-size:10px; ' as style), event_name_part2)
    XMLElement("div",XMLAttributes('font-weight:normal; font-style:normal; font-size:10px; ' as style), event_name_part1)
    XMLElement("td",
    XMLAttributes('right' as align, 'top' as valign),
    XMLElement("div",
    XMLElement("a",

    XMLElement("div",
    XMLElement("a",
    XMLAttributes( delete_url as href),

    XMLAttributes( '#IMAGE_PREFIX#wastebasket.gif' as src, '16' as width, '16' as height, 'Smazat článek/pořad' as alt, 'Smazat článek/pořad' as title)

  • Error occurred while processing SAP SQL Tools for SQLServer (Database Copy)

    Hello,
    We are currently running ERP 6 EP4 support stacks 6. Two weeks ago we

  • Looking for the best web-based replacement tool for Crystal report

    Hello everyone,
    A few days ago, I installed JDeveloper and went through the tutorials posted on oracle.com and have not known all the feature yet.
    In our office we provide end-users with crystal reports against our oracle database, and this fulfills their needs fairly enough but, recently, we received a request from some of remote users to use those crystal reports. So I just wanted to know whether ADF can replace a crystal report if I try to migrate them? A crystal report has rich functions. For example, I use DistinctCount(Param1, Param2) to display the number of distinct param 1s in each param 2.
    Any kind of suggestion would be much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Don't know if it works for you. There is always the thing with privacy.
