SAP BW: treasury

SAP Treasury was implemented at a time when there were no corresponding structures on the Business Content side. The transaction type was a crucial supporting criteria for defining key figures then. With the changeover of the old Treasury solution to the transaction manager in R/3, no adjustments were made on the BW side; instead, data extraction by Business Content's data source was changed so that the data continued to be sent to BW with transaction types. Over the course of time, this solution proved to be increasingly inefficient, so a changeover of the BW Treasury implementation to the transaction manager's update types was initiated. At the same time, the aim was to increase the system's transparency. All of this had to be done without disrupting the existing production environment; in other words, some of the existing reports had to continue to be useable.
