IBP key figure data extract using Odata service

[adambs]

All,

We have requirement to pull the IBP KF and MDT data from IBP to Power BI using Odata service.

I went over the help document to get the format on how to construct the API query to pull the data but i was not able to find the example API query which uses the new /IBP/EXTRACT_ODATA_SRV OData service.

Link: https://help.sap.com/viewer/da797ae2bf6246d58abd417f24915d55/2005/en-US/77e394ba87cb4b3b9860c98a3f4d...

Can someone please help with the KBA or sample API on how we can pull the data from IBP to Power BI using Odata service.

Thanks,

Adam

Hi Adam,

This OData service for KF and master data extraction is exposed via the SAP_COM_0143 communication scenario. You need to set up the below(Fiori App) in IBP before you can consume ODATA in Power BI.

Step 1 - Define Communication User

Step 2 - Communication System

Step 3 - Communication Arrangement

Finally, go to the Global Configuration app in SAP IBP to enable the planning area for external extraction using OData services. Add the PLANNING AREA parameter under the FLEXQUERY parameter group.

Refer to KBA for details https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/2736206

Once you have completed the configuration you can Navigate to Get Data • OData feed in the Power BI to consume the service.

Thanks, Ajay.

The KBA which you have shared is still pointing to old Odata service.

IBP help doc says to use /IBP/EXTRACT_ODATA_SRV OData Service. Can you please share the KBA around this service.

Thanks,

Adam

Hi Adam,

The KBA provides the steps for configuration. The Odata service is populated automatically when you select the SAP_COM_0143 in Communication arrangements. See below.

Hi Ajay

Thanks for the information.

We are able to extract the data in Power BI from SAP IBP but we are not sure on how to go about paging. We understand we can use parameters lie $top and $skip in our queries to enable paging but how do we loop programmatically.

An example will really help. Thanks!

Thanks
