Introduction

In this blog, the steps outlined for configuring and executing ‘Supplier Advance Return Management process in S/4HANA’. This will help users to configure advance return management and execute, monitor in S/4HANA Environment. The Business user can effectively monitor the complete return process cycle end to end and take corrective measures. The system can be configured as per the business requirement.

◉ Shipping determination Configuration

You used to use SE16/SE16N and SQVI, Try SE16H!

As you know, SAP HANA comes with many enhancements and features. The new transaction SE16H comes with new features which enables rapid tables check and small queries.

SAP Consultants used to use the transactions code SE16/SE16N/SQVI to check table’s value and/or extract data.

SAP BTP End-to-End Demo: Integration of Qualtrics

Introduction

In this blog post I will demonstrate how to load Qualtrics Survey Data via a custom SAP Data Intelligence operator into a SAP HANA Cloud table for use in SAP Data Warehouse Cloud and SAP Analytics Cloud. I will show how solutions from unified data and analytics can be used together to get insights from a Qualtrics Survey by going step by step over how to integrate Qualtrics in them creating an End-To-End-Story.

This demo is split in the following parts:

Part 1: Creating a survey in Qualtrics that you can publish to gain valuable insights into customer opinions about a topic you are interested in

Part 2: Loading the survey data into a SAP HANA Cloud Table by creating and using a custom python operator in SAP Data Intelligence

Helpful Techniques For Adapting Projects to Operate in a Different Environment (e.g., Move from on Premise to SAP HANA Cloud)

One benefit of using the HANA Deployment Infrastructure (HDI) is that a clear interface exists that lists the dependencies to objects outside of the respective HDI container. With this it becomes pretty simple to adapt a project that should run in a different environment, such as when moving a project that has been developed in an on premise XSA environment with SAP Web IDE for SAP HANA to SAP HANA Cloud.

Below several concepts are illustrated that help to adapt existing projects that refer to objects that are not contained in the project.

The main challenge you will face when moving your project to a different environment is that you cannot rely on resources that are not included in your project. For example, resources might only exist under a different name or schema. The new development concepts of SAP HANA, in particular the deployment with the SAP HANA Deployment Infrastructure (HDI), prepares you for this task by abstracting away dependencies to resources outside of your project. Dependencies in HDI come into your project via mainly two routes:

Capture Deleted Records-Using SLT

Context/Background: As we all know using SLT we replicate the records from source system, so as part of the replication, SLT basically perform three actions which are insert, update and delete. So lets consider we have a below scenario, where are replicating records from S4 system to HANA database. This seems to be normal and this is what SLT suppose to do.

But actual problems arrives when you have further downstream system which read data from your HANA database directly. Also, if there is non-sap system which is reading from HANA database, it is difficult to capture deleted records on target, so it goes out of sync if it is not a trigger based solution or stores the data to the flat files.
