Capabilities of BI Integrated Planning

Integrated Planning with SAP NetWeaver BI provides:

Enhanced user productivity, reduced training costs– More flexible and user-friendly user interfaces; common UI for planning and

reporting– Web-based planning modeler for creating and modifying all types of plan

Faster implementation and reduced maintenance costs– Reduced number of customizing objects (such as variables, hierarchies, and

one layout for reporting and planning)

Improved performance– Reduced data redundancy (such as calculated key figures, currency

translation) by using the OLAP functions from SAP NetWeaver BI

Integrated Planning with SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (SAP NetWeaver 2004s)supports easy-to-use planning in the Business Intelligence (BI)environment and is fully integrated in SAP NetWeaver.

SAP BW-BPS flexibility allowed us to customize the SAPstandard functionality to meet the business requirementsfor TSVM, BrandBuilder and LEADS.

This customization was done using ABAP and FOXembedded in SAP BW-BPS.

Steps to Implement BI Integrated Planning

BI-IP

Upgrade your SAP BW system to SAP NetWeaver 7.0 usingthe latest Support Stack released by SAP

Upgrade ABAP and Java

Upgrade your SAP BW front-end to SAP NetWeaver 7.0– BEx Analyzer– BEx Report Designer– BEx Web Application Designer– BEx Query Designer

SAP NetWeaver Portal is mandatory when using new BIIntegrated Planning & most BEX Web functionality

SAP BW-BPS versus BI Integrated Planning

SAP recommends using the new BI Integrated Planningfunctionality when implementing new scenariosCustomers are not forced to upgrade to BI Integrated Planningwhen upgrading your system to SAP NetWeaver 7.0.BW-BPS will be delivered and maintained with SAP NetWeaver BIreleases equal or higher than SAP NetWeaver 7.0.Both planning tools use the same data basis and can be operatedin parallel in one system. It is not necessary to migrate existingplanning applications.The critical and time consuming part for modeling the planningapplication (InfoCubes, characteristics, key figures,authorizations, locking concept, status & tracking,…) can bereused in BI Integrated Planning.Front-end related objects like planning layouts, web interfaceshave to be rebuilt manually.

SAP AG 2007, SAP NetWeaver BI: Integrated Planning / Katie Beavers and Teresa Miquelarena / 43

SAP BW-BPS at Kimberly-Clark

SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Approach at Kimberly Clark

Kimberly Clark strategy for 2006 was to migrate 5 of our 7 BIlandscapes running under zOS/390 to SAP NetWeaver 7.0.

BW-BPS and SAP NetWeaver BI Accelerator (BIA)

BrandBuilder and LEADS were experiencing BW-BPSperformance issues and to succeed in both projects, thoseneeded to be addressed as our main objective.

BIA was implemented providing a

significant performance improvement!!

BI Integrated Planning: Business Benefits

Lower TCO & Increase Flexibility:

– Input-enabled Query (PlanQuery) is used insteadof planning layouts

– Use of reporting end user interfaces (BExWorkbook, Web Template)

– Use of Java WebDynpro based customizingtransaction (Planning Modeler)

– Use of BW variables (former BW-BPS variables areobsolete for BI-IP)

Building BI Integrated Planning Prototype

BI Integrated Planning: Business Benefits

Reduce OLAP Time & Increase SystemAvailability:

– BI Accelerator works for planning functions– Data can be read from the OLAP Cache– Delta Mode of OLAP Cache can be used– Dedicated IP Delta Buffer for planning functions

and PlanQueries (stores the changed and newlycreated records from planning functions or input-enabled queries)

– Aggregates can still be used

SAP AG 2007, SAP NetWeaver BI: Integrated Planning / Katie Beavers and Teresa Miquelarena / 48

Building BI Integrated Planning Prototype

Kimberly Clark’s BI-IP Strategy

Kimberly Clark’s strategy will be to use the new BIIntegrated Planning functionality when implementingnew scenarios.

Only continue to use BW-BPS for small enhancements toexisting BW-BPS solutions.

In BI Integrated Planning, most of the BEx and OLAPanalysis functions are also available for planningapplications. In comparison with BW-BPS, you need asmaller number of objects and tools.
