Master data reporting in SAP BW

Hi everybody,

we are using BW for reporting on master data. The concerned objects are all customer developments. We are experiencing problems concerning design questions and the print layout of the queries:

Our consultant advised us to use info objects for the implementation of master data in BW and to build the info objects just as the datasources in the source system, meaning: 1 table in the source system = 1 info object in BW. What are your experiences on that?

Second issue is, we have several long text informations. With the limitation of infoobjects to max. 60 digits, we are forced to split the contents into several infoobjects.

How do you handle long text informations in BW? (We need a printable report.)

Thank you for your suggestions, kind regards, Kathrin!
