Embedded Analytics for Business Users

Keep this: job aid

Embedded analytics card

• Embedded analytics = live data inside SAP S/4HANA; warehouse = cross-system history. Use both.
• Measures aggregate (amount, quantity); dimensions group and filter (customer, plant, period).
• Starting points: overview page and KPI tiles. Find the records: analytical list page. Free slicing: multidimensional report.
• Query Browser: search, inspect fields, open, tag, favorite, create a tile.
• View Browser: all CDS views and sources; for key users and specialists.
• CDS views hold no data; access controls silently filter rows by your authorizations.
• Custom Analytical Queries: released cube view → fields → layout → filters → restricted and calculated measures → preview → publish.
• Fixed filters for scope that must not change; user-input filters for choices.
• Governance: reuse before you create, name with owner and purpose, document, retire unused queries.
• Trust test: controlled documents, cross-check with journal entries, drill-down, run with the real role, record time.
