Embedded BW on S/4HANA

What is Embedded BW?

- It’s automatically included in SAP ERP since SAP NW 7.0.

- It supports all BW native functionality including BPC processes.

- It’s used to support certain business processes on SAP S/4 HANA.

e.g. SAP BPC Optimized for S/4 HANA Finance (formerly Integrated

Business Planning for Finance), using SAP BPC

Specific Use Cases and Recommendations

- Embedded BW is not intended as an alternative to a Enterprise Data

Warehouse.

- The amount of data persisted should not exceed 20% of the overall

data volume of the system.

- Extraction from own S/4 HANA system

- Integration of data from external applications

- Data from planning applications

- License implications

- BPC requires a seperate license

- Security and Authorizations

- Embedded BW relies on a seperate authorization concept.

Authorizations from S/4HANA do not apply but need to be

mapped if required.

- Client Distribution

- For organizational reasons and development purposes SAP

recommends to use a dedicated client for Embedded BW.
