BW/4HANA Content - Introduction
The Content represents Logical data models that are then

mapped to the physical data model from the SAP Business
Suite applications as a starting point
The Content is intended as a foundation for designing,

modeling, and building your EDW, and while rarely used as
delivered, it provides a jump start that facilitates faster and
more consistent delivery of EDW projects.
Additional physical data models can be easily mapped to the

Logical data model in BW, which in turn generates the new,
extended physical model in HANA
Providing Business Content as a part of our EDW solutions has

been a differentiator for SAP since the early releases of SAP
Business Warehouse (BW).

• Uses new SAP BW/4HANA features
• Follows the LSA++ architecture
• Delivered Content offers more

flexibility in data acquisition and
reporting
• Makes use of the consolidated

InfoObjects
• Provides higher level of detail (line

items, …)

Architectural Patterns

SAP BW/4HANA Content
• Content built with the new modeling

entities Advanced DataStore Object and
CompositeProvider
• New set of variables (variables, SAP Exit

variables, text variables) with consistent
naming conventions
• Streamlined persistence for time

characteristics by making use of 0CALDAY
navigational attributes

BW/4HANA Simplification
• Content built with the new modeling

entities Advanced DataStore Object and
CompositeProvider

Benefits
Change Benefit
Split „Stock Quantity“ vs „Stock Values“ vs - More robust solution (SAP Note 586163)
„Movements“ in separate part provider - Less Rule Groups in BW Transformations
- Reduces complexity of transformation logic
- Simplified custom implementation if only stock quantities are
required
- More flexibility in Virtual Data Mart Layer e.g. when defining pure
consumption key figures based on „Movements“
- Better performance due to partitioning and pruning
Virtualization of business logic: Shift from key figure - Less transformation rules (virtualized as BEx Query restricted /
model to account based model for special stocks calculated key figures)
- More flexibility when adjusting /creating restricted / calculated
key figures in Virtual Data Mart Layer
Replacing start routine by transformation formula for - Transformation logic for key figure calculation at one place
key figure (to exclude consumptions) - Allows DTP execution in HANA with BW 7.50
Adding characteristic Customer for consignment - Improved end user experience: reporting on customer stock by
stock analysis customer
