Introduction What is a Rapid Mart?
What is a Rapid Mart?

SAP BusinessObjects Rapid Marts packages are blueprints for building data marts with SAP BusinessObjects technology:
Data Services Universe Designer Web Intelligence.
Rapid Marts packages deliver jump-start ETL (extract, transform & load) mappings, schema, and initial reporting content, accelerating the deployment of BI (business intelligence) for enterprise applications from SAP, PeopleSoft, Oracle, and Siebel. Each Rapid Mart is designed to address the reporting needs of a specific business area (or department) like accounting, sales, or purchasing. A component-based framework allows conducting analysis across these selected business areas by combining different packages within the same source application suite. Rapid Marts focus on basic standard configuration of the enterprise applications. They are country and industry neutral templates meant to be easily modified and extended to suit customer specific application implementation and reporting needs. Rapid Marts incorporate best practices, and provide easily modifiable templates. With Rapid Marts total development time of a data mart solution is greatly reduced. Each customer situation is different. You will probably encounter one or more of these:
Customizations you have made to SAP solutions the Rapid Mart does not cover. Standard SAP solutions data fields important for your specific business, but not included in the Rapid Mart templates. Optimization and performance challenges unique to your environment. Reporting requirements not covered within the Rapid Mart template reports.
Rapid Marts are flexible templates that you can adjust to account for these unique situations. It is expected that some customization and optimization will be needed to suit your individual environment. Rapid Marts are not an out-of-the-box solution.
BI tools and analytic tools can access Rapid Mart data through SQL queries. Rapid Marts can be implemented individually, or in any combination, to form a single platform that delivers the infrastructure for your companys internal and external information needs. They can also serve as a staging area for enterprise analytic applications. Rapid Marts provide your business with an accelerated time to value through rapid BI deployments because you can implement them quickly and easily customize them to meet specific analytic requirements.

Introduction About this document
Data Model & Schema - set of data mart database objects designed with dimensional data modeling approach. Rapid Marts packages for SAP solutions has a single integrated data model. The schema are available for Oracle, SQL Server IBM DB2, and Teradata; Semantic Layer (Universes) - SAP BusinessObjects metadata packages for efficient query generation. There can be one or more universes per Rapid Mart. Each universe is developed using Rapid Marts design principles to ensure compatibility, code readability, and component re-use. In addition, there is one Master universe for development/maintenance of multiple use objects (like Customer, Material, Currency, etc.); Reports (Samples) - set of 15-20 Web Intelligence reports per Rapid Mart. They represent answers to mostly asked business questions (for example, in the SAP BusinessObjects Sales Rapid Mart, version for SAP solutions - 'What is the monthly Revenue trend by Division for this year?'). The reports are developed using Rapid Mart color/layout templates. Reports are examples of Web Intelligence best practice development (trends, listing, guided analysis, roll ups and downs, etc.).

The SAP BusinessObjects Inventory Rapid Mart, version for SAP solutions supports analysis of material stock levels, as maintained in the Inventory Management (MM-IM) module, for purposes of planning and control. Analysis of stock levels helps to establish an optimally sized buffer between finished goods supply and demand. The end result is more efficient production planning and scheduling. Using this Rapid Mart you can:
monitor stock levels with historical snapshots over time analyze standard cost and material valuations monitor cycle counting results track movements of materials throughout your organization track inventory of batch managed stocks How have stocks of finished goods varied over time? What are my material scrap rates? What was the standard cost of this material a year ago? Are there seasonal variations in standard cost? What factors have contributed to increases in standard cost? Are my cycle counts really keeping my stock levels accurate?
You can answer questions such as:
14
Overview Supported analyses
Can I streamline my materials workflow by eliminating redundant or unnecessary movement? Is one plant more efficient at maintaining optimum stock levels than another? Are raw materials consumed at different rates during the manufacturing process?
The SAP BusinessObjects Inventory Rapid Mart, version for SAP solutions is made up of several components or sections. Each section supports a subject related to analysis of inventory management:
Material Movement Section Tracks goods receipts, goods issues, and stock transfers of materials across plant and storage locations over time. Other reporting dimensions include vendor, purchasing group, movement type, and procurement type. You can link material movements to batches and reservations. Inventory Section Shows aggregate changes in stock levels over time based on material movements to and from storage locations and plants. Batch Inventory Section Tracks inventory levels of batch-managed stocks by storage location, plant, and vendor. Physical Inventory Section Maintains results of cycle counting including any adjustments to calculated inventory levels. Stock Valuation Section Displays the current and historical value of stocks, including split valued stocks, by material and valuation area.
Chapter 3: Subject Areas discusses each of these sections in more detail and how to link them together for a complete Inventory Analysis solution.

Overview Related Rapid Marts
Related Rapid Marts

Each Rapid Mart is composed of multiple components. A component is a stand-alone work flow that completes a particular task, such as loading a specific dimension table. Components can contain other components. A section is a set of components that address a particular business problem or subject area. A section is itself a component. Components of the SAP BusinessObjects Inventory Rapid Mart, version for SAP solutions are related to other Rapid Mart components. For example:
Purchasing documents, pricing conditions, and vendor/material relationships are included in the Purchasing Rapid Mart. Sales orders for make-to-order products are included in the Sales Rapid Mart. Material movements, reservations, and production orders in the SAP BusinessObjects Inventory Rapid Mart, version for SAP solutions can be linked to a sales order in the Sales Rapid Mart for a complete view of the supply process. Accounts payable information related to purchase orders is included in the Accounts Payable Rapid Mart. Reservations, and Production Orders which show proposed and actual usage of materials in the manufacturing process are included in the SAP BusinessObjects Production Planning Rapid Mart, version for SAP solutions Common dimensions are included in appropriate Rapid Marts.
Sharing Components
The same components can be used in multiple Rapid Marts. For example, a component that extracts information about materials bought, produced, and sold is needed for a Rapid Mart that supports sales analysis and also for a Rapid Mart that supports inventory analysis. Work flows that extract star schema dimensions are components. You can add a component to any Rapid Mart using a simple import procedure. A Data Services job can include multiple instances of a component. For example, each section includes all the required dimension components. Therefore, a job with several sections may include several instances of a particular dimension component. Components are set to execute only once within a job. This execute once feature ensures that shared components do not cause duplicate data extraction from SAP solutions. For more information about the execute once feature, see the Data Integrator/Data Services Designer Guide.

It then discusses each of the Rapid Mart subject areas (or sections):
22
Subject Areas Inventory Management (MM-IM) Overview
Inventory Management (MM-IM) Overview

Inventory Management (MM-IM) deals with the following tasks:
Management of material stocks on a quantity and value basis Planning, Entry, and Documentation of all Goods Movements Carrying out the Physical Inventory
Managing Stocks by Quantity

All transactions that bring about a change in stock are entered in real time, as are the stock updates resulting from these changes. You can obtain an overview of the current stock situation of any given material at any time. This, for example, applies to stocks that:
Are located in the warehouse Have already been ordered, but have not yet been received Are located in the warehouse, but have already been reserved for production or a customer Are in quality inspection.
If a further subdivision by lots is required for a material, one batch per lot is possible. These batches are then managed individually in the stock. In the Rapid Mart it is possible to create frequent snap-shots (usually daily) of inventory quantities, thus giving a complete picture of changes over time. Thus, you can examine stock levels for a certain material as it was in the past or present.
Special Stocks
Inventory Management can manage various types of a companys own special stocks and externally owned special stocks separately from standard stock. Special stocks are stocks that are managed separately as a result of their not belonging to your company or being stored at a particular location. Special stocks and special procurement types are divided into the following areas:
Consignment Subcontracting Stock transfer using stock transport order Third-party processing Returnable transport packaging Pipeline handling
23
Sales order stock Project stock
The Rapid Mart captures all special stock types as standard functionality.
Managing Stocks By Value

The stocks are managed not only on a quantity basis but also by value. The system automatically updates the following data each time there is a goods movement:
Quantity and value for Inventory Management Account assignment for cost accounting G/L accounts for financial accounting via automatic account assignment
The valuation area is the organizational level at which a material's stock value is managed. The valuation area can be plant level or company code level. In Inventory Management, work is basically done at plant and storage location levels. When you enter a goods movement, you only have to enter the plant and the storage location of the goods. The system derives the company code from the plant via the valuation area. Most goods movements in Inventory Management lead to changes in stock quantity and therefore in stock value: In the case of goods receipts, the stock value increases and in the case of goods issues, the stock value is reduced. For materials valuated at a moving average price, the material price can also change in the case of goods receipts for purchase orders. This is the case if the purchase order price differs from the material price. Planned Delivery Costs for a purchase order are also included in valuation when goods are received. When the goods receipt is posted, provisions are created for planned delivery costs; thus the material is immediately valuated at the expected price. A subsequent debit/credit when the invoice is received is only necessary if there are variances between the stipulations of the order and the invoice. It is also possible to post the net value of goods received. In this way, cash discounts that have been agreed upon are taken into account in valuation at this point. This means that when a goods receipt is posted for a material with moving average price control, the value of the order minus the cash discount is debited. Material price changes can also occur during the following transactions in Inventory Management:
Delivery Free of Charge Transfer Posting
24
Goods Receipt Without a Purchase Order Initial Entry of Inventory Data Goods Issue Goods Receipt Reversal
In the Rapid Mart it is possible to create frequent snap-shots (usually daily) of inventory value, thus giving a complete picture of changes over time. Thus, you can examine valuation for a certain material as it was in the past or present.
Goods Movements
Goods movements include both "external" movements (goods receipts from external procurement, goods issues for sales orders) and "internal" movements (goods receipts from production, withdrawals of material for internal purposes, stock transfers, and transfer postings). For each goods movement a document is created which is used by the system to update quantities and values and serves as proof of goods movements. You can print goods receipt/issue slips to facilitate physical movements and monitor the individual stocks in the warehouse. Goods Movements can be categorized as:
Goods receipt A goods receipt (GR) is a goods movement with which the receipt of goods from a vendor or from production is posted. A goods receipt leads to an increase in warehouse (storage location) stock.
Goods issue A goods issue (GI) is a goods movement with which a material withdrawal or material issue, a material consumption, or a shipment of goods to a customer is posted. A goods issue leads to a reduction in warehouse (storage location) stock.
Stock transfer A stock transfer is the removal of material from one storage location and its transfer to another storage location. Stock transfers can occur either within the same plant or between two plants.
Transfer posting A transfer posting is a general term for stock transfers and changes in stock type or stock category of a material. It may occur in conjunction with a physical movement or not. Examples of transfer postings are:
25
Transfer postings from material to material Release from quality inspection stock Transfer of consignment material into company's own stock
The Rapid Mart keeps track of all these material movement categories. Frequent incremental (delta) loads ensure that the most recent movements are accurately represented in the target Rapid Mart database.
Physical Inventory
This component allows you to carry out a physical inventory of your companys warehouse stocks for balance sheet purposes. Various procedures can be implemented for this.
Scope of Functions
In SAP solutions, a physical inventory can be carried out both for a companys own stock and for special stocks. Inventory for a companys stock and for special stocks (such as consignment stock at customer, external consignment stock from vendor, or returnable packaging) must be taken separately (in different physical inventory documents), however. Note that the blocked stock returns and the stock in transfer cannot be inventoried. If these stocks are still to be counted in a physical inventory, you must transfer post these stocks to other stocks capable of inclusion in a physical inventory. The stock in a warehouse can be divided into stock types. In the standard system, a physical inventory can be carried out for the following stock types:
Unrestricted-use stock in the warehouse Quality inspection stock Blocked stock
If batch status management is active, the first stock type covers both unrestricted-use stock and restricted-use stock. Inventory of all stock types mentioned can be taken in a single transaction. For the materials to be inventoried, one item is created in the physical inventory document for every stock type. Physical inventory takes place at storage location level. A separate physical inventory document is created for every storage location. If a material does not exist in a storage location, this means that no goods movement has ever taken place for the material in the storage location. The material, therefore, has never had any stock in this storage location. The
26
material does not exist at stock management level in the storage location. It is therefore not possible to carry out a physical inventory for the material in this storage location. This is not to be confused with a material for which a goods movement has taken place and for which the stock balance is currently zero. A physical inventory must be carried out in this case, since storage location data is not deleted when the stock balance is zero.
Physical Inventory Procedures

SAP solutions supports the following physical inventory procedures:
Periodic Physical Inventory In a periodic inventory, all stocks of the company are physically counted on the balance sheet key date. In this case, every material must be counted. During counting, the entire warehouse must be blocked for material movements.
Continuous Physical Inventory In the continuous physical inventory procedure, stocks are counted continuously during the entire fiscal year. In this case, it is important to ensure that every material is physically counted at least once during the year.
Cycle Counting Cycle counting is a method of physical inventory where inventory is counted at regular intervals within a fiscal year. These intervals (or cycles) depend on the cycle counting indicator set for the materials. The Cycle Counting Method of Physical Inventory allows fast-moving items to be counted more frequently than slow-moving items.
Inventory Sampling In MM Inventory Sampling, randomly selected stocks of the company are physically counted on the balance sheet key date. If the variances between the result of the count and the book inventory balance are small enough, it is presumed that the book inventory balances for the other stocks are correct.
The Rapid Mart tracks all changes to physical inventory activity. Frequent loads ensure that the most recent inventory counts are accurately represented in the target Rapid Mart database.
27
Inventory Management Within SAP solutions

Inventory Management (MM-IM) is part of the Materials Management (MM) module and is fully integrated in the entire logistics system:
Material is procured from external or internal sources on the basis of the requirements determined by Material Requirements Planning. The delivery is entered in Inventory Management as a goods receipt. The material is stored (and managed under Inventory Management) until it is delivered to customers (Sales & Distribution), or is used for internal purposes (for example, for production). During all transactions, Inventory Management accesses both master data (such as material master data) and transaction data (such as purchasing documents) shared by all Logistics components.
28
Integration in Materials Management

As a component of Materials Management, Inventory Management is directly linked with Material Requirements Planning, Purchasing, and Invoice Verification. Inventory Management provides information for MRP, which takes into account not only physical stocks but also planned movements (requirements, receipts). When a material is ordered from a vendor, Inventory Management posts the delivery as a goods receipt with reference to the purchase order. The vendor invoice is processed later by Invoice Verification. Here, the quantities and values from the purchase order and the goods receipt document are checked to ensure that they match those in the invoice.
Integration in Production Planning

Inventory Management is closely linked to the Production Planning module:
Inventory Management is responsible for staging of the components required for production orders The receipt of the finished products in the warehouse is posted in Inventory Management.
Integration in Sales & Distribution

As soon as you enter a sales order, you can initiate a dynamic availability check of stocks on hand. When the delivery is created, the quantity to be delivered is marked as "Scheduled for delivery". It is deducted from the total stock when the goods issue is posted. It is also possible to create sales order stocks.
Integration in Quality Management

In the case of a goods movement, the system determines whether the material is subject to an inspection operation. If so, a corresponding activity is initiated for the movement in the Quality Management system.
Integration in Plant Maintenance

Inventory Management is linked with Plant Maintenance as follows:
It is possible to post goods movements with reference to equipment BOMs. It is possible to withdraw parts for maintenance orders.
29
When serial number management is active, the individual serial numbers are entered in the case of every goods movement. Serial numbers are managed in the Plant Maintenance system.

Subject Areas Material Movement Section
Material Movement Section

The material movement section of this Rapid Mart stores data that tracks the quantity and value of materials moved to, from, and between storage locations. There are several types of SAP solutions material movement documents:
Goods Receipts Goods Issues Stock Transfers Transfer Postings
These are described in Goods Movements on page 25. The Rapid Mart captures all material movements directly from the SAP solutions tables MKPF (Header: Material Document) and MSEG (Line Items: Material Document). These are the source tables for all material movements. Note: For purposes of this documentation, material movement, and material document are identical. The initial (first) load compares MKPF.CPUDT (the material document create date) to the range of dates defined by global variables $G_SDATE and $G_EDATE. Record falling between these dates are selected for load to the Rapid Mart. An initial load typically covers several years of historical data. The incremental (delta) load compares both MKPF.CPUDT and MKPF.AEDAT (the document change date) to the range of dates defined by global variables $G_SDATE and $G_EDATE. In this manner any new or changed records are selected for load to the Rapid Mart. The incremental load typically covers a one or two day period. Thus, far fewer records are selected than an initial load. During an incremental load, the Table Comparison transform is used to insert new records or update changed records. In SAP solutions, corrections to material documents are made by changing an existing document, or by creating a reversing document, and then posting a new correct material document. Thus, material documents are not deleted.

In addition MATERIAL_MVMT_FACT has the following associated hierarchies and their validation tables:
You can analyze Material Movements along several dimensions:
Business Area - an organizational unit of financial accounting that represents a separate area of operations or responsibilities within an organization and to which value changes recorded in Financial Accounting can be allocated. Company Code - The smallest organizational unit of Financial Accounting for which a complete self-contained set of accounts can be drawn up for purposes of external reporting. Controlling Area - An organizational unit within a company, used to represent a closed system for cost accounting purposes. A controlling area may include single or multiple company codes that may use different currencies. These company codes must use the same operative chart of accounts. Cost Center & Hierarchy - An organizational unit within a controlling area that represents a defined location of cost incurrence. Monetary Currency - Document currency of the material movement Customer Debit Credit Indicator

How often are we moving material from one plant to another to cover shortages? What quantities were moved to cover the stock shortages by fiscal period? What are the top ten movements this quarter by quantity? Is there a spike in material movements at quarter end?
37
Subject Areas Inventory Section
Inventory Section
The inventory section of this Rapid Mart stores data about the quantity and value of materials in storage locations. In SAP solutions, material movement documents trigger changes in the quantity and value of materials in storage locations. Whenever there is a goods receipt, goods issue, or stock transfer, SAP solutions debit or credit the calculated (book) inventory for the material, using the location and quantity listed on the movement document. Goods issuesfor stock consumption or sales order fulfillmentdecrease the value of the total inventory. Goods receipts, on the other hand, increase the value of inventory. Stock transfers may or may not affect the stock value at a particular location. Inventory is a point-in-time snapshot of the cumulative effects of material movements. Building a history of repeated inventory snapshots provides a smooth aggregate view of stock activity. SAP solutions does not maintain a history of inventory. Only current stock levels are stored in SAP solutions tables. Inventory values for any prior period must be derived using the detailed material movements data. The initial load of the Rapid Mart will create this derived history of daily inventory by accumulating material movements over time. Material movements are used to accumulate a series of snapshots for each combination of Material, Plant, and Storage Location. Validity dates are introduced to indicate for what time period a particular inventory value is accurate. Thus the source SAP solutions tables for the initial load are the same as those for the Material Movements (tables MKPF and MSEG). The target table is INVENTORY_FACT. In the incremental load, we examine current stock levels for each of these SAP solutions tables
MARD - Plant / Material / Storage Location record MARC - Plant / Material record
We use the data to append a new set of inventory records to the INVENTORY_FACT table, with new validity dates showing the current snapshot. Within the universe (semantic layer) the Rapid Mart uses a view to facilitate reporting from the INVENTORY_FACT table. INVENTORY_DAILY_VIEW is a database view based on periodic snapshots of stock levels. The view joins INVENTORY_FACT validity dates with the time dimension (TIME_DIM) table. Thus, the view creates daily inventory levels without actually storing separate rows in the fact table for each day. This view is particularly useful when you do not execute the incremental load procedure on a particular day, such as on
38
a holiday. Although no data is stored in the fact table for that day, you can use the inventory views in conjunction with the time dimension table to generate an inventory value for the day based on the last value in effect on the previous day. Using the inventory view of daily stock levels allows you to create weekly, monthly, and quarterly averages of stock levels without having to weigh the averages to account for missing values. A current indicator flag marks the latest entry in the inventory table.

What is the consigned inventory level vs. total level for a certain material by month? Which materials have blocked stocks? What are the quantities and values of blocked inventory? How long has the stock for this material been blocked?
Batch Inventory Section

The batch inventory section of this Rapid Mart stores data about the batch inventory for materials, plants, and storage locations. While inventory (previous section) includes data for all materials, Batch inventory includes only the subset of materials that are batch managed. Maintaining batch level inventory allows enterprises to track partial stocks that must be managed separately from other partial stocks of the same material. Batch Inventory is processed by the Rapid Mart in the same manner described in the Inventory Section on page 38. Initial and Incremental loads follow similar logic using the same SAP solutions source tables. On the target side, the daily valuation view is also available. The target table and view are:
BATCH_INVENTORY_FACT is the target fact table BATCH_INVRY_DAILY_VIEW is the daily view.
Once again, daily snapshots show batch inventory at the material, plant, and storage location level. Batch managed stocks include a batch or lot identifier, which is assigned when the batch is first produced or received into inventory. The material movement document references the batch number to track withdrawals and transfers of materials from existing batches.

Subject Areas Physical Inventory Section
Physical Inventory Section

The physical inventory section loads a fact table that stores any activity affecting physical inventory. Physical inventory documents are stored in SAP solutions tables IKPF (Header: Physical Inventory Document) and ISEG (Physical Inventory Document Items). The initial load extracts all documents from these tables and loads to PHYSICAL_INVENTORY_FACT table in the target schema. An incremental load is not possible, SAP solutions does not maintain a Create Date for Physical Inventory records. Only a Change Date (ISEG.AEDAT) is available. Since we cannot tell when new records are created, we execute a full reload of physical inventory each time the Rapid Mart job runs. When the physical count of a material does not match the book inventory, SAP solutions creates a material movement to adjust the book inventory. If the adjustment is physical, the inventory table contains the material document ID and the line item of the adjustment from the material movements table.

This section captures these dimensional attributes and their associated dimension tables.

Which plants have improved inventory tracking over the past year? Show me the material movements for adjusting entries on cycle counting for certain materials in each fiscal quarter of this fiscal year. What is the value of adjusting entries in this quarter?
Stock Valuation Section

The stock valuation section stores daily updates of the companys investment in inventory. As transactions occur that move inventory in and out of storage locations, the value of the material stock changes based on differences in quantity and differences in the average purchasing costs of the remaining stock. The process of calculating the value of material stock is called valuation. The SAP BusinessObjects Inventory Rapid Mart, version for SAP solutions tracks stock value using both standard price and average price.
49
SAP solutions does not store historic stock value data in any table. However, the Rapid Mart can be used to track historical snapshots of changes in value over time. SAP solutions tables uses two methods to determine current stock valuation:
Stock Valuation Split Valued Stocks
Stock Valuation
With the stock valuation method, SAP solutions assigns a value to the stock in each valuation area. The valuation area, generally a plant or a group of plants, defines the currency used to value the stock. The purchasing organization responsible for stock in the valuation area selects the price control procedure for the material. There are two price control procedures:
Standard pricing All the stock within the valuation area is valued at the same price regardless of changes in actual procurement costs Moving average pricing Stock is valued using the average of the actual procurement costs for the materials on hand, assuming last-in-first-out stock removal
SAP solutions stores both prices in the material valuation table. The Rapid Mart extracts both prices, allowing users to do value analysis assuming either pricing method.
Split Valued Stocks

With the split valued stock method, SAP solutions places a different value on certain stocks of the same material, such as materials from different countries of origin. The valuation category field indicates whether a stock is subject to split valuation or not. In SAP solutions, split valued stocks are stored in the same table as single price valued stocks. The Rapid Mart extracts data from the SAP solutions tables MBEW (Material Valuation) and MARA (General Material Data). The target table is STOCK_VALUATION_FACT. The initial load extracts all data in these tables, and loads to the target table, including valid from and valid to dates. The incremental load also process all the data in these tables, however, a new set of records is created in the target table, with a new set of validity dates. Thus, you can build your own history of valuation changes over time. This is useful in tracking the effectiveness of cost cutting measures.
50
Within the universe (semantic layer) the Rapid Mart uses a view to facilitate reporting from the STOCK_VALUATION_FACT table. VALUATION_DAILY_VIEW is a database view based on periodic snapshots of valuation levels. The view joins STOCK_VALUATION_FACT validity dates with the time dimension (TIME_DIM) table. Thus, the view creates daily valuation levels without actually storing separate rows in the fact table for each day. This view is particularly useful when you do not execute the incremental load procedure on a particular day, such as on a holiday. Although no data is stored in the fact table for that day, you can use the valuation view in conjunction with the time dimension table to generate an valuations for the day based on the last value in effect on the previous day. Using the valuation view allows you to create weekly, monthly, and quarterly averages of valuation levels without having to weigh the averages to account for missing values. A current indicator flag marks the latest entry in the STOCK_VALUATION table.
