Introduction

Business Warehouse (BW) is the SAP tool to extract reports with data coming from the transactional systems (mainly WP1 & PF1). Users can use Analysis, an excel add-in, to connect to BW and then select a report to launch. The result of the report will directly be displayed in Excel.

High level of BW data flow


Also BW is the main database to send data to other platforms like Qlik, Salesforce, SAC (Sap Analytic Cloud) GCP (Google Cloud Platform), Tableau by data engineering tool such as Talend or MFT (Manage File Transfer) tool. 

BW Reports are organized by Applications (represented as 'Roles" in the Analysis) corresponding to functional areas. Each user is given access to one or more Applications based on needs.
