Ques.
You are asked to create a data model that combines sales order data from SAP S/4HANA and customer feedback from a CSV file uploaded to SAP Datasphere.
What steps would you take to model this data together?
Ans: In order to combine the sales order data from S/4 HANA with customer feedback from a CSV file in Datasphere, we have to integrate the ERP dataset with a kind of ad hoc uploaded feedback data and then model them in a unified view for analysis and reporting.
This can be done via:
– Initially, we have to import sales order data from SAP S/4 HANA by creating a connection. We can use ODATA or CDS views for a clean & semantic layer.
– Next is to import the sales order remote or replicated tables. For faster joins, we can use replication, but for real-time access, we can use remote tables.
– Now upload or import the customer feedback CSV table. Upload the file inside the data builder option, and then create a local table from the uploaded CSV file.
– Fields such as customer ID, sales order ID, feedback score, or feedback date, etc, can be added.
– Next is to create the graphical or SQL view-based data model. Join sales order data with customer feedback data using the sales order ID as the key. All the data type compatibility and missing values can be handled.
– Now add semantic enrichments such as label fields with business-friendly names and add units or specific date formats, as required.
– Also create measures and calculated fields as required.
– This is also optional to create the consumption models in the business builder. This will help in turning the combined view into the analytical dataset.
– Adding dimensions, KPIs, and Semantic Annotations can be done for easier reporting.
– Once the data model is ready, we can share it and consume the model in the datasphere or analytics cloud for reporting.
This way, we can create a unified data model in SAP Data Sphere, which combines ERP sales data with unstructured feedback data.
