BusinessObjects Integration Kit
for SAP - Crystal Reports 2008 SAP BW Metadata in Crystal Reports When connecting to a SAP BI query with Crystal Reports the underlying metadata from the SAP BI query is leveraged and matched to Crystal Reports elements. The table below shows how SAP BI metadata is used in Crystal Reports. BW Query element Crystal Reports designer element Characteristic Separate fields for key and description per characteristic. Hierarchy Fields representing a parent-child relationship. Keyfigure Measure element in a grouping called Keyfigure. Each Keyfigure can have up to three elements: numeric value, unit, and formatted value. Calculated Keyfigure Measure element in the folder Keyfigure. (Information about the details of the calculated keyfigure is not available in Crystal Reports.) Restricted Keyfigure Measure element in the folder Keyfigure (Information about the details of the restricted keyfigure is not available in Crystal Reports.) Filter Filters will be applied to the underlying query but are not visible in the Crystal Reports designer. Navigational attribute Separate fields for key and description per navigational attribute. Display attribute Each display attribute becomes one field in the field explorer. The display attributes are grouped together with the actual characteristic. SAP variables Parameters.

BusinessObjects Integration Kit
for SAP - Crystal Reports 2008 Dimension and Characteristics The image shows an SAP BI query in the BEx Query Designer. The rows of this query include several characteristics and the columns several keyfigures. On the left side, the actual cube structure is shown with the cube dimensions (not to be confused with characteristics). SAP DEVELOPER NETWORK | sdn.sap.com BUSINESS PROCESS EXPERT COMMUNITY | bpx.sap.com © 2008 SAP AG 5
6.
BusinessObjects Integration Kit
for SAP - Crystal Reports 2008 Building a Crystal Report on top of such an SAP BW query will result in the following elements: • Each characteristic in the query will result in an element in the field explorer with a key and a description item (Example: City Key and City Name). • In addition each characteristic will also generate a Node ID and a Parent Node ID which can be used for hierarchical reporting. • Each characteristic will also generate a Member Unique Name field which represents the technical key value. SAP DEVELOPER NETWORK | sdn.sap.com BUSINESS PROCESS EXPERT COMMUNITY | bpx.sap.com © 2008 SAP AG 6
7.
BusinessObjects Integration Kit
for SAP - Crystal Reports 2008 Display attributes and Navigational Attributes Display attributes are InfoObjects which are logically assigned or subordinated to a characteristic. For example: The characteristic customer has two attributes: • Phone number • Fax number The following screen shows an SAP BI query in the BEx Query Designer. The row structure includes a characteristic Customer with four display attributes (Geographical Height, Postal Code, Sector Code, and Area Code). SAP DEVELOPER NETWORK | sdn.sap.com BUSINESS PROCESS EXPERT COMMUNITY | bpx.sap.com © 2008 SAP AG 7
8.
BusinessObjects Integration Kit
for SAP - Crystal Reports 2008 In addition the BW query contains three navigational attributes in the rows: Regional Code, Postal Code, and Area Code. A navigational attribute can easily be identified by the double underscore (“__”) in the technical name of the navigational attribute. Building a Crystal Report object on top of such an SAP BW query will result in the following elements: • Each characteristic in the query will result in an element in the field explorer with a key and a description field. • Each navigational attribute in the query will result in an element in the field explorer with a key and a description item (for example, Regional Code and Area Code). • Each display attribute will create an element in the field explorer underneath the corresponding characteristic (for example, Customer number with several display attributes). • Crystal Reports will include all available display attributes for the characteristic and not only the display attributes that are included in the SAP BW query. SAP DEVELOPER NETWORK | sdn.sap.com BUSINESS PROCESS EXPERT COMMUNITY | bpx.sap.com © 2008 SAP AG 8
9.
BusinessObjects Integration Kit
for SAP - Crystal Reports 2008 Keyfigures, Units, and Currencies Each keyfigure used in an SAP BW query can have up to three elements: • Numeric value of the keyfigure. • Unit or currency information. • Formatted value, representing the user-specific formatting. The image shows the result of two keyfigures in Crystal Reports: • Each keyfigure is represented with a field in a group called Key Figures. • In the case the keyfigure is configured in SAP BW with a unit, an additional field will be added representing the unit information. • The Formatted Value represents the numeric value formatted as a string value following the user- specific formatting settings. SAP DEVELOPER NETWORK | sdn.sap.com BUSINESS PROCESS EXPERT COMMUNITY | bpx.sap.com © 2008 SAP AG 9
10.
BusinessObjects Integration Kit
for SAP - Crystal Reports 2008 Hierarchies Hierarchies can be activated for characteristics in the BEx Query Designer and offer the user the capability to navigate along a hierarchical structure. The image shows the field explorer in Crystal Reports based on an SAP BW query with a hierarchy. • A hierarchy results in a parent-child relationship. SAP DEVELOPER NETWORK | sdn.sap.com BUSINESS PROCESS EXPERT COMMUNITY | bpx.sap.com © 2008 SAP AG 10
