Integrating SAP EHS Management, environment management with SAP Analytics Cloud enables organizations to gain comprehensive insights into their environmental data through advanced analytics and intuitive visualizations. Here's a high-level overview of how this integration works:
1. Data Collection in SAP EHS Management, Environment Management
Environmental Data Management: SAP EHS Management, environment management collects and manages data related to emissions, waste, and other environmental metrics. This data is systematically organized within the system, ensuring accuracy and consistency.
2. Data Exposure via Core Data Services (CDS) Views
CDS Views Creation: The environmental data is exposed through CDS views, which are virtual data models in SAP S/4HANA. These views allow for the efficient retrieval and processing of data without duplicating it.
Enhanced CDS Views: Recent enhancements to CDS views, such as the inclusion of geographical coordinates for EHS locations, facilitate more detailed analysis and visualization in SAP Analytics Cloud.
3. Establishing a Live Data Connection to SAP Analytics Cloud
Live Data Connection Setup: A live data connection is established between SAP S/4HANA (where SAP EHS, environment management resides) and SAP Analytics Cloud. This connection enables real-time data access, ensuring that analyses and reports in SAP Analytics Cloud reflect the most current information.
4. Data Visualization and Analysis in SAP Analytics Cloud
Creating Stories and Dashboards: In SAP Analytics Cloud, users can create stories and dashboards to visualize environmental data. The integration supports various chart types, including geographical maps that use the location coordinates from EHS data.
Predefined Content: SAP provides predefined content, such as the "Sustainable Operations Insights" story, which offers dashboards for emissions to air, water, and land, as well as detailed views on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
5. Benefits of Integration
Real-Time Insights: The live data connection ensures that stakeholders have access to up-to-date environmental data, facilitating timely decision making.
Advanced Analytics: SAP Analytics Cloud’s analytical capabilities allow for in-depth analysis of environmental metrics, helping organizations identify trends, assess compliance, and uncover opportunities for improvement.
Enhanced Reporting: The integration enables the creation of comprehensive reports that can be tailored to meet regulatory requirements and internal needs.
Summary
By integrating SAP EHS Management, environment management with SAP Analytics Cloud, organizations can leverage advanced analytics and visualization tools to enhance their environmental performance monitoring and reporting capabilities.
