Participants work through Calculation View Architecture and Source Modeling to establish reusable model structure and clear analytical semantics. The activity is grounded in an analytics engineering team replacing duplicated reporting logic with reusable SAP HANA models serving finance, sales, and supply-chain applications and contributes directly to governed HANA models.
The instructor traces Graphical calculation views, Semantics and output columns, Projection nodes and filters, Data source selection through the course scenario, explaining navigation, decision logic, dependencies, system messages, and the evidence retained in calculation-view architecture workbook. The walkthrough also shows how to investigate the condition where a source column is exposed without the business semantics expected by consuming reports.
Complete a controlled activity covering Graphical calculation views, Semantics and output columns, Projection nodes and filters, Data source selection and preserve the final result in calculation-view architecture workbook.
Start at the earliest point where expected SAP behavior differs from the observed result. Review process sequence, master data, organizational assignments, configuration, authorization, integration, and timing separately. Treat “a source column is exposed without the business semantics expected by consuming reports” as a testable hypothesis until settings, documents, logs, reports, and retest outcomes confirm the cause.
Learners can apply Calculation View Architecture and Source Modeling, explain the resulting SAP behavior, and defend the outcome through calculation-view architecture workbook.
