One of the main innovations at the heart of SAP S4 HANA is embedded analytics, which can simplify your infrastructure. Embedded Analytics in SAP S/4HANA is a collection of concepts and tools that enable you to use analytics in your reporting. These tools that provide impactful reports are the way of the future. Embedded Analytics provides whole new reporting possibilities with the help of real-time operational data in your transactional system. ETL (Data Extraction, Transformation, and Loading) and batch processing are not required in embedded analytics, in contrast to standard reporting environments that involve ERP and data warehouse systems.
SAP S/4 HANA Embedded Analytics for Real-Time Reporting
You can get real-time data and a comprehensive analytics platform that helps in decision-making by integrating SAP S/4HANA Embedded Analytics into your current systems. You can use a variety of analytics tools to help you improve business operations and discover new insights when you combine SAP HANA, S/4HANA, and SAP BW/4HANA. Furthermore, SAP Analytics Cloud for enterprise reporting offers strong reporting and visualization capabilities that let you display data understandably and straightforwardly. With the help of this integrated solution, you can rapidly and affordably develop your reports while keeping the flexibility to adjust to your company’s changing needs.
Top Benefits to Leverage SAP S/4HANA Embedded Analytics
Delivering timely, structured information to the right person is one of the major challenges faced by data analytics today. Compared to the normal reporting process, SAP S/4HANA Embedded Analytics offers clear benefits. Decisions in business are influenced by the timely delivery of relevant data. As a result, data analysis must be done quickly. In addition to this, embedded analytics offers many additional benefits.
Simplicity
Your data for multidimensional reporting doesn’t need to be laboriously loaded and prepared in a second system when you use SAP HANA technology. Instead, you can use CDS views to give your live transactional data immediately and effortlessly.
Streamline reporting with the power of the SAP Analytic Engine
Advanced analytics and real-time data processing are made possible by the SAP Analytic Engine. It offers easy-to-use tools for creating and customizing reports and is easily integrated into the SAP S/4Hana business suite architecture.
Accelerate value creation for your teams
Report consumers receive up-to-date information on business processes via predefined reports that include extensive drill-down capabilities and filtering choices. This significantly speeds up and improves the accuracy of decision-making. The entire process is easy to set up and gives departments instant extra value.
Establishing an analytical culture within your organization
Additionally, using real-time data in routine tasks helps the business develop a culture of analysis over time. The basic need for a perfect value chain is better and faster-informed personnel, which is based on a mix of integration, analysis, and visualization of all relevant essential figures.

The power of SAP S/4HANA Embedded Analytics
SAP S/4HANA creates Virtual Data Models (VDM) or displays operational data using SAP ABAP Core Data Services (CDS).
Many SAP views can be used for reporting, even in the standard version.
CDS views serve as the virtual data model for embedded analytics in SAP S/4 HANA in the backend. The SAP S/4HANA master data tables can be used as the basis for ABAP CDS views.
The ABAP layer of the SAP S/4HANA system, which automatically generates SQL runtime views in SAP HANA, is where the ABAP CDS views are generated, maintained, and improved. The readout and transformation of the data within the SAP HANA database layer are thus completed by these.
In conclusion, S/4 Embedded Analytics replaces a large number of “operational reports” in SAP BW/Data Warehouse. However, it is dependent upon the particular business requirements of each client. Traditional reporting technologies do not provide the user community with the new capabilities and business values that S/4 Embedded Analytics offers.
Therefore, it is crucial to consider which reports should come from a data warehouse system and which from S/4HANA. One of the most important things to think about is whether the report needs data from several different sources.
- How much data you must download
- If analytics are required for old data as well
- Whether you need outdated data snapshots as well
Performance issues can also occur if all of SAP’s VDM is enabled. Therefore, consider the amount of data needed as well as the organization’s retention policies.
