APO (SNP)/BW Best Practices

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I have several reporting requirements using BW and APO - SNP.

I´d like to know what´s the best way to acomplish this requirements. Is it best to store the data first on infocubes on APO and then extract these data to BW, or use the standard extractors, or use ABAP routines and BAPI?

Any help is welcome.

Thanks in advance.

The ideal way should be create infocubes and extract data using datasources

you can create Infocubes to extract the SNP transaction data using datasources. The other option would be to develop a custom program. This is what we did in our system for reporting SNP data. For masterdata reporting you can create queries.

Hi T.P.

I would suggest you can create infocubes for various types of data, then carry out the extraction into BW and then use it for various reporting functionalities. Please ensure taking back up of data on a periodical basis so that in case of any crash incidences, the data can be retrievable.

Hope this helps your query. Please confirm
