How to Get Data Out of SAP: Simplement Roundhouse’s Superpower

Get Data Out of SAP

Sales 

“Where is my order?” We want answers for you. All of them. The best reports give you answers, not leads to follow. Answers. Customization is always an option. Get the requirements drawn up, get some resources, get it tested in dev, try to test with prod level data flows, migrate to prod. Then hope for zero modifications.

Or get data in days and sales status in weeks. Answers, fast. For example, we deliver sales status reporting. We already created it. Might need a tune for your enhancement pack level or customizations, but that’ll be quick, load data, done. Sales status, within weeks. Like, month to date and year to date? Yes, and current orders waiting to ship, and past due, blocked, and late but missing inventory WITH inventory anticipation date, and delivery printed but stuck(?!). And if there are any notes, or credit blocks, or anything else, that is included too. Answers to questions about “where is my order?”. Not just sales data. Any SAP data.

Why Extract?

You don’t have to. You can customize SAP, a lot. A big business was told “your SAP system is so customized, if it went down, it might not start back up. You should migrate to S4”. After migrating they went bankrupt. All custom reporting was left in the deprecated ECC system and they could not keep operations on track without it.

SAP is amazing, but complex. SAP put 90,000+ tables in ECC and more in S4. A simple thing like a sales order links to tons of tables for headers, details, descriptions, status, master data… Users like descriptions. And status descriptions, and sales office names, et cetera.

When you extract SAP data for reporting, you get all the details, fast. All exceptions including that weird user name who made that one time accounts payable transaction. We can show the time, date, full login, and user name for the entry.

SAP Texts

Sales orders have lots of free text fields. You could use one to describe a reason for a block. then feed that to your report. Ask your IT people about SAP text fields in reporting and how fast they could add them. We could add them to your reports in weeks. Why not use what you have? SAP is full of text fields. We deliver any and all texts, real time. Add text, click save, and as fast as your network will move it, it’ll show up in a report in a few minutes, even on your phone.

Make It

Easy. Do your analysts have the best tools? Would they tell you? Roundhouse extracts your SAP data with conversions for easy reporting, easy joining, easy data type matching. We worked hard to make all of this easy.  Want to control costs? Easy, only select the data you want. Some SAP tables have 400 columns. You are not using them all. No one uses them all. SAP put them there for industry flexibility.

Need more data? Add it with a few clicks by an admin. That’s it? That’s it. The data lands in the target, creates a view with full table names and full column descriptions and “Bob’s your uncle.” Real time data will flow as it is created in the source.

Cluster data (like MDTC / CDCLS), cluster tables (like RFBLG to BSEG, PLC2, et cetera), exchange rates, currencies, pool tables, all converted, easy to use dates, times, data types, lengths, collations. What about BALDAT? Yes, BALDAT declustered, ready for reporting, along with any other data in your SAP system. Simplement Roundhouse seamlessly integrates with your existing data analytics and business intelligence toolsSimplement starts with simple for a reason.

Governance Inside

Data security and governance are paramount in today’s digital landscape. Simplement Roundhouse takes these concerns seriously, implementing robust security measures and adhering to stringent data governance practices. Throughout the extraction process, your SAP data remains secure, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and compliance with industry regulations.

Customer data does not leave customer control. Your data never leaves your environment. Want to split HR data from Finance data? Built in functions to do that easily. Want to use some HR data but not compensation? Don’t extract / select those columns. We built in options to select only the tables and only the columns you want to access.

Union All

Only put the finance data from each entity into the same database and keep all other company data separate for fast compliant reporting.
