Having delivered Group Reporting in SAC after extensive troubleshooting, I found that leveraging the SAP BW connection significantly improved performance, usability and data reconciliation. This article explores the benefits of using the SAP BW connection, the prerequisites for setup, challenges and best practices.
While OData is a standard approach for integrating SAP S/4HANA with SAP Analytics Cloud, it comes with several limitations when used for Group Reporting:
• OData queries require writing free SQL for filters and prompts, making applying mandatory parameters from SAP CDS views difficult.
• OData fetches data dynamically, leading to slow query execution and potential performance bottlenecks when dealing with large datasets.
• OData does not support advanced data transformations, making it harder to cleanse, aggregate or merge data within SAC.
• Handling currency conversions, intercompany eliminations and consolidation logic requires additional SAC modeling efforts.
