SPM stands for "Sustainability Portfolio Management". It's a Solvay proprietary approach to assess business sustainability risks and opportunities that runs on PF7.
The objective of SPM reporting in BW is to provide a "Sustainability view" (Market Alignment, Operations Vulnerability) for the sales of the group.
Sales (Turnover, Volume) are extracted from P&L in WBP and then enhanced with an SPM dimension, through a sequence of steps (lookup in mapping tables).
SPM Master Data (SPM Product, SPM Application) is loaded from PF7.
Functional Owner of this application: Marc Piret (Sustainable Development & Energy (SDE)
How many users? Which user category ? Is there critical period ? Which geographical perimeter? Describe in one sentence: around 50 users, worldwide or 200 users / European Site
The project had 2 phases:
1 - First development covering most of the GBUs (pilot Aroma and Special Chem)

Detail of main topics with explanations of the rules and only the main + special rules about queries to run and use in the correct way
Sales data is loaded from P&L using APDs.

These APDs load current + previous month into these Direct Update DSOs.
The Sub-Activity field (0G_CWWE01) is very important to define the GBU and Group of Activities.
From Rhodia query, it gets directly field 0G_CWWE01 (normally IECRAxxx)
From Solvay query, due to PQ1 decomission and SpS projects, it gets from different fields depending on the month being loaded. It takes C_TECHBA (old object from PQ1) if month < 01/2018 (kept for reloading purposes) and from C_TECPCT2 if month >= 01/2018. In any case, it takes the attribute C_REST_BA (Restated BA) and move to 0G_CWWE01.
Example:

This is done in 2 steps:
1) Derive SPM product
For Rhodia Legacy - based on GBU / Group of Activities / Sub-Activity / Product Line 2 / Product Line 0 / Commercial Product
For Solvay Legacy - based on GBU / Group of Activities / Sub-Activity / PIF hierarchy / Product hierarchy / Material Group
2) Derive SPM PAC (Application)
For both legacies, based on SPM product obtained in step 1 + End-Use fields (Market, Application, Segment, End-Use)
Some customizing tables were created in WBP with maintenance views (access restricted to very few users).

Example of step 1 for Rhodia legacy:

How it is stored in mapping table

Dependencies with other application (BW, QV, Externals tools like PVelocity or Dynasis etc...
Detail of process chain, list + link between or special event done for the loading
Detail of frequency : monthly; weekly or else
if possible, give some information on average process chain duration, amount of data loaded and total data volume example: daily process chain loaded in 30 min, weekly chain loaded in 1h15, with around 2k to 10k lines in DELTA mode for a total of 10M lines in cube. The purpose is to give a general overview of the volume of data managed y the application
| Key Figure | Estimation |
|---|---|
| ~ Average Process Chain Runtime | |
| ~ Average nb of rows loaded per load | |
| ~ Total nb of rows loaded (if full) | |
| ~ Average Runtime for 10k lines |
Give details if any historisation is done, example: keep only data greater than beginning of Y-3
Query end user documentation should be created in the public "Customer Support Wiki" space under the corresponding BW application page : BW - Application. Technical query query documentation, if necessary should be added as a sub-page of this documentation using the BW Technical Query Documentation template.
List the most important and complex queries only with a link to the documentation
Give detail on all complex functionalities: list most important and/or complex KPI, query jump, alerts
Indicate if there are broadcasts and give some details on the broadcast settings.
Give the list and explanation on the known, not-solved, bugs.
List recurring procedures
Detail planned major evolution if already known. Example: complete decommissioning of application is planned in 2017 / Extension to solvay perimeter planned in 2nd semester of 2016
