SAC and CDS view Development - TB

Developing an SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) report to pull data from the ACDOCA table and combine the Trial Balance for two company codes involves several steps. Here's a breakdown of the process and key considerations:

1. Data Acquisition

  • Create a CDS View: Develop a custom CDS view in S/4HANA that extracts the relevant fields from the ACDOCA table. This view should include filters for the desired company codes and any other relevant dimensions like accounts, fiscal year, and posting period.
    • Important Fields: Include fields like company code, account number, fiscal year, posting period, debit amount, credit amount, currency, and any other fields needed for your analysis.
    • Filters: Ensure you can filter on company code to isolate the two you want to combine.
    • Calculated Fields: Consider adding calculated fields in the CDS view for key figures like net balance (debit - credit).
  • Data Source in SAC:
    • Live Connection: Establish a live data connection between SAC and your S/4HANA system.
    • Import Connection: Alternatively, you can import data from the CDS view into SAC. However, a live connection is generally preferred for real-time reporting.

2. Report Development in SAC

  • Create a Story: In SAC, create a new story and select your data source (the CDS view).
  • Design the Report:
    • Tables/Charts: Use tables or charts to display the Trial Balance data.
    • Dimensions and Measures: Drag and drop the relevant dimensions (e.g., account number, company code) and measures (e.g., debit amount, credit amount, net balance) onto your report components.
  • Combine Company Codes:
    • Filtering: If you only need to see the combined data, filter the company code dimension to include the two specific codes.
    • Aggregation: Use SAC's aggregation functions (e.g., SUM) to combine the balances of the two company codes across accounts. You might need to create a calculated measure to achieve this.
  • Formatting and Visualization: Apply formatting, conditional formatting, and visualizations to enhance the readability and insights from your report.

3. Technical Details and Considerations

  • Authorization: Ensure that the SAC user has the necessary authorizations to access the CDS view and the underlying ACDOCA table in S/4HANA.
  • Performance Optimization:
    • CDS View Optimization: Optimize the CDS view for performance by minimizing the number of joins and aggregations.
    • SAC Data Handling: Use SAC's data handling features like data wrangling and caching to improve report performance.
  • Currency Conversion: If the two company codes have different currencies, you'll need to handle currency conversion within your report using SAC's currency conversion capabilities.
  • Data Security: Implement appropriate data security measures to restrict access to sensitive financial information.

Example CDS View Code (Simplified):

@AbapCatalog.sqlViewName: 'Z_TRIAL_BAL_VIEW'  @AbapCatalog.compiler.compareFilter: true  @AbapCatalog.preserveKey: true  @AccessControl.authorizationCheck: #CHECK  @EndUserText.label: 'Trial Balance View'  define view Z_Trial_Bal_View as select from acdoca  {    key rbukrs as CompanyCode,    key gjahr  as FiscalYear,    key monat  as PostingPeriod,    key hkont  as AccountNumber,        wrbtr  as DebitAmount,        wrbtr  as CreditAmount  }  where rbukrs = '1000' or rbukrs = '2000'; // Filter for company codes   

Important Notes:

  • This is a high-level overview. The specific implementation details may vary depending on your S/4HANA version, existing data structures, and reporting requirements.
  • For detailed guidance on CDS views, SAC report development, and authorization setup, refer to the official SAP documentation and online resources.

By following these steps and considering the technical details, you can effectively develop an SAC report that pulls data from the ACDOCA table and combines the Trial Balance for two company codes, providing valuable insights into your financial data.
