Non financial planning in BusinessObjects Cloud

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

After reading through the content related to planning features of BOBJ Cloud, I would like to know if it is possible to plan scenarios not necessarily basic financial or headcount. For cases such as demand planning or production planning is it possible to leverage the SAP Cloud for analytics.

Appreciate any inputs in this regard.

Hi Raghav,

SAP BusinessObjects Cloud is very dynamic and robust. You can do a lot. I suggest you try out what you want here: http://www.discover.sapbusinessobjects.cloud/website-learn/

Please review this blog on the new content we support for specific Lines of Business and Industries:

https://blogs.sap.com/2016/11/18/sap-businessobjects-cloud-content/

Also see the Attributes of an Account Dimension help:

Unit & CurrenciesUse this attribute to set the value type and display units. Select one of the following from the list:

• Currency: Use this option for all monetary values. In this case, the unit defined in Scale is shown in all data output and the appropriate currency symbol is displayed after the numerical value.
• Label: You can enter a text label (up to 30 characters in length) for this member to define your own display units; this can be a unit of measure or a packaging unit such as Bottles. The label you enter is displayed after the numeric value in the data output; for example, 25 Bottles.
• %: The percentage option works in the same way, showing the percentage symbol after the value. In this case, the Scale attribute is also automatically set to percent.

The attribute can also be left blank. In this case, the abbreviated unit from Scale is displayed (see below).
