Participants establish the practical foundation for Data Connections, Data Modeling, Dimensions and Measures, and Data Preparation. The activity uses a data analytics team combining operational data, executive dashboards, planning models, and predictive capabilities for business decision support and contributes to the wider objective to model data, create analytical stories, support planning, and deliver governed SAP Analytics Cloud insights.
The instructor traces Data Connections, Data Modeling, Dimensions and Measures, and Data Preparation through a realistic case involving a data analytics team combining operational data, executive dashboards, planning models, and predictive capabilities for business decision support. The walkthrough connects navigation, process logic, settings, system messages, and the evidence retained in analytics and planning foundation map. It also demonstrates how to investigate the condition where foundational settings do not support the intended analytics and planning workflow.
Complete a controlled activity covering Data Connections, Data Modeling, Dimensions and Measures, and Data Preparation and preserve the final result in analytics and planning foundation map.
Begin where expected SAP behavior first differs from the observed result. Check organizational assignments, master data, configuration sequence, authorization, integration, and transaction evidence separately. Treat “foundational settings do not support the intended analytics and planning workflow” as a testable hypothesis until relevant settings, logs, documents, and outcomes confirm the cause.
Learners can apply Data Connections, Data Modeling, Dimensions and Measures, and Data Preparation, explain the resulting SAP behavior, and defend the outcome through analytics and planning foundation map.
