SAP R/3 or SAP ECC Reporting Limitations

1. SAP R/3(OLTP) offers a collection of more than 2700 powerful and flexible business reports.
These reports are spread across several applications. Navigating through several multilevel
menus to fetch a particular set of reports is a time consuming process.
 
2. Several reports are designed(delivered by default) to meet operational or transaction needs only.
 
3. Most of the reports are predefined, list oriented & provides very limited OLAP functionality.
 
4. Several business applications and their associated reporting tools make it hard to select a
specific reporting tool.
 
5. These reporting tools are inconsistent, designing & creating a report is a complex process.
 
6. Maintenance of thousands of available reports for software upgrade (VERSION UPGRADE) is
a complex task.
 
7. Knowledge of how often a particular report is used are every period is not available.
 
8. As a consequence( Consequently) all reports are need to be maintained regardless of their
usage.
 
9. Performance impact on SAP R/3 OLTP Operations is a major issue.
 
10. SAP R/3 OLTP system are designed & configured to meet high transaction rates( No of
transactions for a time period)
 
11. Creating a robust report & generating OLAP environment( Reporting environment) under
OLTP environment (Transaction Environment) needs different configuration parameters.
 
12. These settings will affect the OLTP operations intern.
 
13. SAP R/3 OLTP reports are flat reports ( 2 dimensional ), where as BW reports are Multi-
dimensional, MultiLingual, Several levels of hierarchies are supported in SAP BW reporting. Master data makes resusability - [Attributes, Texts, Hierarchies] in SAP BW.
 
14. Creation of report takes more time in SAP R/3 Where as it takes very less time in SAP BW.
 
15. SAP R/3 or ECC reports are application specific where as BW reports are subject specific.

The field 0RECORDMODE in BW determines how a record is updated in the delta process. Now the question is how this delta will be brought to BW? Using one of the following ways: ABR: After before and Reverse image AIE: After image ADD: Additive image ABR: After before and Reverse image Example: Logistics What is it? Once a new entry was posted or an exiting posting was changed at R/3 side, an after image shows the status after the change, a before image shows the status before the change with a negative sign and the reverse image also shows the negative sign next to the record while indic...
