What is a Rapid Mart?
SAP BusinessObjects Rapid Marts packages are blueprints for building data
marts with SAP BusinessObjects technology:
•Data Services
•Universe Designer
•Web Intelligence.
Rapid Marts packages deliver jump-start ETL (extract, transform & load)
mappings, schema, and initial reporting content, accelerating the deployment
of BI (business intelligence) for enterprise applications from SAP, PeopleSoft,
Oracle, and Siebel.
Each Rapid Mart is designed to address the reporting needs of a specific
business area (or department) like accounting, sales, or purchasing. A
component-based framework allows conducting analysis across these
selected business areas by combining different packages within the same
source application suite.
Rapid Marts focus on basic standard configuration of the enterprise
applications. They are country and industry neutral templates meant to be
easily modified and extended to suit customer specific application
implementation and reporting needs.
Rapid Marts incorporate best practices, and provide easily modifiable
templates. With Rapid Marts total development time of a data mart solution is
greatly reduced.
Each customer situation is different. You will probably encounter one or more
of these:
•Customizations you have made to SAP solutions the Rapid Mart does not
cover.
•Standard SAP solutions data fields important for your specific business,
but not included in the Rapid Mart templates.
•Optimization and performance challenges unique to your environment.
•Reporting requirements not covered within the Rapid Mart template
reports.
Rapid Marts are flexible templates that you can adjust to account for these
unique situations. It is expected that some customization and optimization will
be needed to suit your individual environment. Rapid Marts are not an
out-of-the-box solution.
12SAP BusinessObjects Production Planning Rapid Mart XI 3.2 for SAP solutions User Guide
BI tools and analytic tools can access Rapid Mart data through SQL queries.
Rapid Marts can be implemented individually, or in any combination, to form a
single platform that delivers the infrastructure for your company’s internal and
external information needs. They can also serve as a staging area for
enterprise analytic applications.
Rapid Marts provide your business with an accelerated time to value through
rapid BI deployments because you can implement them quickly and easily
customize them to meet specific analytic requirements.

BusinessObjects Production Planning Rapid Mart, version for SAP solutions
and the types of analyses you can do with this Rapid Mart. The information in

•Where the Rapid Mart fits in the production planning process
What is production planning?
Within SAP solutions, the process of production planning and control (PP)
determines what to produce, how much to produce, and when to produce it.
Production quantities and scheduling are constrained by machine time, labor ,
material availability, and storage space. These resources are in turn
constrained by budget and other financial considerations. By balancing
resource constraints with demand and scheduling requirements, an effective
production plan optimizes factory lead times, improves customer delivery
performance, and reduces time consumed by work in progress (WIP).
Planning processes in SAP solutions generate time-based demands for
materials based on sales order planning, long term forecasts, stock
replenishment quantities, customer order requirements, backlog, safety stock
levels, and other anticipated sources of demand. The SAP solutions materials
requirements planning (PP-MRP) component combines lead time scheduling
information with independent and dependent requirements (based on bill of
materials) for a material and produces a production and procurement
proposal—a planning proposal—that satisfies current and projected demand
requirements.
The planning proposal that SAP solutions produces does not account for
material availability or work center capacity until a production order is created.
When creating a production order, SAP solutions explodes a bill of materials,
18SAP BusinessObjects Production Planning Rapid Mart XI 3.2 for SAP solutions User Guide
What you can do with this Rapid Mart
creates requisitions for externally procured materials, selects a routing for
produced materials, reserves materials and resources, and calculates
capacity requirements for work centers.
What you can do with this Rapid Mart
The SAP BusinessObjects Production Planning Rapid Mart, version for SAP
solutions enables you to analyze the planning components that automate the
production process. The data that supports these planning
components—work centers, routings, planning strategies, bill of materials,
capacities, and MRP results—can provide insight into the production process
and help you improve and streamline both the planning process and the
actual production and procurement of goods and services.
The SAP BusinessObjects Production Planning Rapid Mart, version for SAP
solutions is made up of several components or sections. Each section
supports a subject related to planning analysis:
•Work center section — Stores data about work centers—the machines,
production lines, or labor pools capable of producing units of work as
output. The amount of work that a work center can produce during a
given time is its capacity . Basic work center data includes category (labor ,
machine, etc.), description, location (plant), and standard values for
queue times. This section also contains the work center hierarchy, which
allows you to roll up work center capacity to accumulate capacities at
various levels. This section also contains the work center assignment to
cost center.
•Capacity section— Stores standard shift times and operating times for
various capacity categories (machine, labor). Work centers have one or
more capacities, measured in terms of units of time, associated with
them. The combination of operating hours, utilization rate, and number of
capacities determines the standard available cap acity for the work center .
Additional capacity, called interval available capacity, might be available
for certain intervals of time. Capacity requirements generated by
production orders and planned orders using lead time scheduling are
also included in this section.
•Materials requirement planning (MRP) results section — Stores the
results tables from MRP and master production scheduling (MPS)
planning runs.
•Planned order section — Stores detailed routing and operation
information for planned orders. Planned Orders are transient in the SAP
solutions system (they are deleted once converted to a Production Order

Supported analyses
or Purchase Requisition). The Rapid Mart can capture quasi complete
history of Planned Orders, (including those deleted) depending on how
often the Rapid Mart is refreshed.
•Reservation section — A request to the warehouse or stores to keep a
material ready for issue at a future date for a certain purpose. The
purpose of a reservation is to ensure that a material is available when
required. A material can be reserved for a cost center, a plant, or a
production order.
•Routing section — Stores routing information for production operations.
Manufactured goods require a routing to describe the steps required to
produce a quantity of output. Routings for a material are time-dependent
and may be lot size-dependent. This section contains a material-plant
level routing description including setup, processing, and teardown times
used for basic date scheduling. The routing header associated with each
material routing contains information on lot sizing, status, and usage. The
routing header links to a table containing the individual operations with
time parameters required for detailed scheduling of each stage of the
operation. An additional table contains a link between the routing and bill
of materials of the base material.
•Production BOM section — The Production Bill Of Materials (BOM)
Section of this Rapid Mart stores data that describes what materials are
used in planning production of a given material and the quantity needed
of each of its constituents. The BOM usage supported in this component
is production. BOM tables included are single level, BOM explosion with
quantities, and BOM explosion with materials-only for where-used
reporting.
•Production order section — Stores data about production orders.
When goods are required, planned orders are converted to production
orders. The production order specifies how much to produce, the routing,
the bill of material used to reserve, produce or procure dependent
materials, the scheduled and actual start and end dates, and the status of
the order.
•Production operation section — Operations are the activities to be
performed in the production process. They are a basis for determining
dates, capacity requirements, and costs. They enumerate the use of
materials, work centers, and quality checks during production.
Chapter 3: Subject Areas discusses each of these sections in more detail and
how to link them together for a complete analysis of production planning.

Related Rapid Marts
Each Rapid Mart is composed of multiple components. A component is a
stand-alone work flow that completes a particular task, such as loading a
specific dimension table. Components can contain other components. A
section is a set of components that address a particular business problem or
subject area. A section is itself a component.
Components of the SAP BusinessObjects Production Planning Rapid Mart,
version for SAP solutions are related to other SAP BusinessObjects Rapid
Mart components. For example:
•Inventory positions in the SAP BusinessObjects Inventory Rapid Mart,
version for SAP solutions.
•Account assignment by work center, controlling area, and activity along
with actual cost information for production orders in the SAP
BusinessObjects Cost Center Rapid Mart, version for SAP solutions.
•Purchase requisitions and purchase orders in the SAP BusinessObjects
Purchasing Rapid Mart, version for SAP solutions.
•Equipment maintenance scheduling by work center in the Plant
Maintenance Rapid Mart.
•Demand from sales documents in the SAP BusinessObjects Sales Rapid
Mart, version for SAP solutions.
Sharing components
The same components can be used in multiple Rapid Marts. For example, a
component that extracts information about materials bought, produced, and
sold is needed for a Rapid Mart that supports sales analysis and also for a
22SAP BusinessObjects Production Planning Rapid Mart XI 3.2 for SAP solutions User Guide
Rapid Mart that supports inventory analysis. Work flows that extract star
schema “dimensions” are components. You can add a component to any
Rapid Mart using a simple import procedure.
A Data Services job can include multiple instances of a component. For
example, each section includes all the required dimension components.
Therefore, a job with several sections may include several instances of a
particular dimension component. Components are set to execute only once
within a job. This “execute once” feature ensures that shared components do
not cause duplicate data extraction from SAP solutions. For more information
about the “execute once” feature, see the Data Integrator/Data Services Designer Guide.
Each of the sections listed in “What you can do with this Rapid Mart” on
page 19 are considered components. You can identify a component within a
Data Services job by a “C_” prefix before its name. For example, the
component that contains work centers and the associated reporting
dimensions is named C_WorkCenter_Section.

•Machines, machine groups
•Production lines
•Assembly work centers
•Employees, groups of employees
Work centers are used in task list (routing) operations and production orders.
Work centers contain the following types of information:
•Scheduling
Operating times and formulas are entered in the work center, so that the
duration of an operation can be calculated.
•Costing
Formulas are entered in the work center, so that the costs of an operation
can be calculated. A work center is also assigned to a cost center.

Work Center Hierarchies
Work centers can be arranged in hierarchies. These are important in capacity
planning. You use hierarchies to cumulate available capacities and capacity
requirements in a hierarchy work center.
Rapid Mart processing
The Rapid Mart extracts data from SAP solutions tables
•CRHD - Work Center Header
•CRCO - Assignment of Work Center to Cost Center
Data from these tables is used to populate target table

Capacity section
The capacity section stores available capacity information by work center,
available interval capacity by date, and capacity requirements for planned
orders.
Work center capacities measure the amount of work output that a work center
can produce during a period of time. Capacity categories subdivide capacity
into types, such as machine, labor, or electrical output. More than one
capacity category can exist at a work center.
Capacities have standard operating times based on shift lengths, break times,
number of individual capacities, and percentage utilization rates. Additional
data items include the formulas and parameters used when calculating the
amount of capacity required for an operation during order scheduling and
capacity planning. Intervals of available capacity can be used to
accommodate deviations from standard available capacities. These intervals
are identified by a version and are delimited with beginning and ending
effective dates.
34SAP BusinessObjects Production Planning Rapid Mart XI 3.2 for SAP solutions User Guide
Capacity planning uses planned order start dates and other work center
scheduling information to calculate capacity requirements for each operation
in the order. The operation capacity requirements consist of the sum of the
time required to set up, process, and teardown after each operation.
Comparison of required capacity to available capacity may necessitate
changes to planned orders before production begins.
Rapid Mart processing
in the Rapid Mart, Capacity Intervals and Capacity Requirements are two
separate fact tables.
Capacity Intervals
Capacity Intervals are sourced from these SAP solutions tables
•KAZY - Interval of Available Capacity
•TC36T - Available Capacity Descriptive Texts
•TC37A - Shift Definitions
•KAPA - Shift Parameters For Available Capacity
•KAKO - Capacity Header Segment
Data from these tables is used to populate target database tables:
•CAPACITY_INTERVAL_STAGE - from KAZY and TC36T. we use the
Data Services Effective Date transform to generate the Valid From Date
not available in the SAP solutions source tables.
•SHIFT_DEFINITION - from TC37A. This table defines the valid periods
(date ranges) of work shifts, and the hours of operation within those
validity periods
•CAPACITY_INTERVAL_FACT - from CAPACITY_INTERVAL_STAGE,
SHIFT_DEFINITION, KAKO, and KAPA
CAPACITY_INTERVAL_STAGE and SHIFT_DEFINITION are intermediate
staging tables, not used for reporting in the Rapid Mart universe (semantic
layer).
The final step of the load process outer-joins CAP ACITY_INTER VAL_STAGE
with data extracted from KAPA and KAKO tables (using
CAPACITY_INTERVAL_STAGE as the outer source). This ensures that all
capacity records are represented in the target table, regardless if intervals
have been defined for them or not. The SHIFT_DEFINITION table is used as
a lookup to determine validity dates and operating hours.

MRP results section
The MRP results section stores the results tables from material requirements
planning (MRP) and master production scheduling (MPS) planning runs.
Material requirements planning (MRP) combines production master data with
demand forecasts, sales orders, and material availability to arrive at a plan for
how much material to procure through production, purchase requisition, stock
transfer, or other means. Depending on user inputs, the bill of materials may
be exploded as well to generate requirements lists for dependent materials.
The MRP requirements list contains the amount of stock on hand, the
demands by requirement date, planned order quantities, procurement
quantities, scrap output, and exception warnings indicating errors.
The MRP process generates rough-cut capacity requirements if the
scheduling type selected at planning time is type 2 (lead time scheduling and
capacity planning).
The MRP results table also includes materials planned using master
production scheduling (MPS) strategies.

MRP results section
Rapid Mart processing
MRP results can be stored in either clustered or transparent MRP detail
tables in SAP solutions. The Rapid Mart selects from both tables to ensure a n
accurate representation of MRP results.
The source tables in SAP solutions are:
•MDKP - Header Data for MRP Document
•MDTB - MRP Details (transparent)
•MDTC - Aggregated MRP table items (clustered)
The target table in the Rapid Mart is:
•MRP_RESULT_FACT
The clustered MDTC table is accessed via a Custom ABAP transform called
MRPCluster.
You can choose to maintain only the last set of MRP results or to accumulate
them over time. If you choose to preserve old results during incremental
loads, you should periodically clean the MRP_RESULT_FACT table so that
performance is not adversely affected.

Planned Order section
The planned order section extracts detailed information for planned orders.
Materials Requirements Planning results in planned orders that suggest the
amount of material to produce and when to produce it in order to meet the
demand requirements.
Conversion of a planned order to a production order creates orders for all the
material components needed to complete the planned order. Material
reservations are created if existing stocks will be used for components. A
routing and a bill of materials is required to create a planned order.
Planned orders that have been converted to production orders are removed
from the planned order table once the quantity to be produced is covered by
production orders. Only planned orders marked as convertible can be
converted to production orders.
The Rapid Mart facilitates maintaining a partial history of the planned orders
that have been removed. The Rapid Mart delta (incremental) load does not
delete Planned Orders that exist in the target table.
SAP BusinessObjects Production Planning Rapid Mart XI 3.2 for SAP solutions User Guide45

Planned Order section
if a planned order is created and then subsequently converted to a production
order between Rapid Mart refreshes, the planned order will not appear in the
Rapid Mart target table as it was deleted in SAP solutions before it could be
captured by the Rapid Mart.
Additionally, a final set of changes to a planned order just before it is
converted (and deleted) may not be captured in the target Rapid Mart table.
Planned orders do not have creation or change dates associated with them.
Thus, there is no way to tell when a change or deletion of a planned order
occurs in SAP solutions.
The Rapid Mart does a full extract of all planned orders in either the first
(initial) load or delta (incremental) loads.
In an initial load, the planned order target table is truncated (all data deleted)
before data from SAP solutions is loaded.
In a delta load, no data is deleted in the target, and the Table Comparison
transform is used to add or updated existing records. Table Comparison does
not delete existing records in the target. Thus, the partial history detailed
above can be preserved.

Reservation section
Reservation section
In SAP solutions, a reservation or dependent requirement is a request to the
warehouse to keep materials ready for use on a particular date. A reservation
ensures that a material is available when the material is needed. The MRP
process can make reservations automatically , or users can make reservations
manually. Any check on material availability must consider prior reservations
for the material. Reservations are allowed only if the material is available to
promise (ATP).
The reservation’s timing determines when goods issues (for consumption in a
production order, or for delivery in a sales order) are allowed for reserved
items. This may be manually overridden using the “movement allowed”
indicator. A goods issue appears in the material movements table and
references the reservation. At this point, SAP solutions reduces inventory by
the amount of the goods issue.
If the reservation is for a particular customer order, the sales order and sales
line item numbers are stored on the reservation. In this case, the goods issue
document in the material movements table also contains references to the
sales order. These fields provide a link to the sales and distribution functions
of the Sales Rapid Mart.
SAP solutions marks reservations as deleted when their retention periods
have been exceeded. Reservations marked deleted are not moved into the
Rapid Mart reservations table.

Routing section
The routing section stores master data that describes material routings,
routing header data, and detailed routing operations, as well as a table linking
routing to bill of materials components. These are presented as two fact
tables in the Rapid Mart:
•ROUTING_LINE_FACT
•ROUTING_BOM_FACT
SAP solutions stores routing information as a list of operations which are
required to produce a material. A routing is identified by a task list type, a
group, and a group counter. A routing consists of a header with status
information, descriptive information, effective dates, and lot size constraints.
Operations consist of a sequence number, activity number, effective dates,
and a set of associated activities. The operations list also specifies additional
times required to setup, process, wait, or move materials.
Before you can produce a material, you must assign it to a routing. A routing
can be specified for each component of a bill of materials (BOM).
Note: In SAP solutions, task lists are a super-set of routings. They can
include other types of tasks organized into lists, such as inspection plans for
the Quality Management (QM) module. SAP solutions distinguishes the
different task lists by task list type. The Production Planning Rapid Mart
limits the data extracted from SAP solutions to two task list types:
•“N” - Routings
•“R” - Rate Routings

Bills of Material (BOM) section
Bills of Material (BOMs) are formally structured lists of the components that
make up a product or assembly. The list contains the object number of each
component, together with the quantity and unit of measure.
BOMs are used in their different forms in various situations where a finished
product is assembled from several component parts or materials. Depending
on the industry sector, they can also be called recipes or lists of ingredients
and so on.
They contain important basic data for numerous areas of a company, for
example:
•MRP (Material Requirements Planning)
•Material provisions for production
•Product costing
•Plant maintenance

Bills of Material (BOM) section
You can create the following categories of BOMs in the SAP solutions
system:
•Material BOMs (scope of this Rapid Mart)
•Equipment BOMs
•Functional location BOMs
•Document structures
•Order BOM
•Work breakdown structure (WBS) BOM
The Rapid Mart limits data extracted to:
•BOM Category “M” - Material BOMs
These are the BOMs that describe which component materials are used in
planning production of a given material (assembly material) and the quantity
needed of each of its components.
Within SAP solutions, a bill of materials is assigned to a plant. Plants can
have alternative BOMs within a plant for production of different lot sizes of the
same material. The header record contains the base quantity produced and
the production unit of measure. All component quantities are calculated
based on these parameters. The header record also contains information on
the overall status and validity period for the BOM.
Item records in a BOM describe the components of the assembly, and the
quantities required to produce the base quantity of the BOM material. BOM
items also have validity periods associated with them. Other item properties
include pricing information, dimensions, by-products, and scrap production.
The latter two items are created as a result of the production process and are
listed as negative quantities in the BOM.

Bills of Material (BOM) section
The process of generating a hierarchical listing of all the components needed
to produce an item is called the BOM explosion. Because each component or
assembly in a BOM may have its own BOM, the BOM explosion continues to
grow exponentially until the final (lowest level) components have no
constituent parts. The BOM explosion process must also account for
differences between the quantity needed when an item is a component in a
BOM, and the base quantity produced when the item is the BOM item in a
subsequent level explosion.
The following example shows an SAP solutions three-level BOM explosion:
Rapid Mart processing
The Rapid Mart presents BOM’s as two separate fact tables:
•PRODUCTION_BOM_EXPLOSION_FACT
This table explodes BOMs allowing you to display BOMs in the Rapid
Mart in the same manner as shown in example above.

A production order defines which material is to be processed, at which
location, at what time and how much work is required. It also defines which
resources are to be used and how the order costs are to be settled.

•When production is to take place (Scheduling)
•Which capacity is to process the order (Capacity Planning)
•How much production costs (Costing)
This is illustrated graphically below:
Production orders can be generated in the following ways:
•From a requirement generated in requirements planning, that is, by
converting a planned order to a production order
•Using an assembly order
•Without any previous requirement, that is, by creating it manually
When a production order is created the following actions are carried out:
•A routing is selected, its operations and sequences are transferred to the
order

Production Order section
•The bill of materials is exploded and the items in the bill of material are
transferred to the order
•Reservations are generated for bill of material items held in stock
•The planned costs for the order are generated
•The capacity requirements are generated for the work centers
•Purchase requisitions are generated for non-stock items and
externally-processed operations
In the Rapid Mart, the production order section stores data about production
orders. When goods are required, planned orders are converted to production
orders. The production order specifies how much to produce, the routing, the
bill of material used to reserve, produce or procure dependent materials, the
scheduled and actual start and end dates, and the status of the order.
The SAP solutions PP-MRP materials requirements planning system
converts planned orders into production orders based on material demand.
When a production order is created, the system automatically creates a
reservation for the necessary material components.
The availability of the components can also be dependent on a production
order. In-stock components can be issued, or purchase requisitions
generated to procure external materials. Resources and tools for production
must be scheduled. Conversion of a planned order to a production order
initiates these processes.
There are two basic types of production orders:
•Make-to-order production orders — Orders that fulfill a specific sales
order. Records for make-to-order production orders contain a reference
to a sales order and sales line item.
•Make-to-stock production orders — Orders that replenish stock.
Customer orders are typically filled from existing stock. Make-to-stock
production orders replenish that stock. Make-to-stock production orders
can also increase stock in anticipation of future customer demand.
Make-to-stock production orders do not reference specific sales orders.

Production Operation section
The Production Operation section extracts information about operations. An
operation is an activity in a work-step of the Production Order. Operations are
line items in a Production Order . They are copied into a production order from
the routing master data for the material to be produced.
The operations keep track of completion dates and times for the various steps
in executing the production order.
This fact table also indicates the status of the Operation, such as released,
partially confirmed, finally confirmed, technically completed, deleted.
Additionally some dimensional attributes carried on the Production Order are
also available on the Production Operation.

Capacity Section
The capacity section stores available capacity information by work center,
available interval capacity by date, and capacity requirements for planned
orders.
Work center capacities measure the amount of work output that a work center
can produce during a period of time. Capacity categories subdivide capacity
into types, such as machine, labor, or electrical output. More than one
capacity category can exist at a work center.
The capacity section allows you to analyze data and produce reports for
capacity requirements and availability scheduling.
