SAP Analytics for Data Engineering

BDC → Datasphere → Embedded Analytics → SAC

Engineer the data layer behind analytics — build production-ready CDS views and SAC stories across Finance, Supply Chain, Sales, HR, and more. Pick a single module or bundle all three.

For data engineers, ABAP developers, and BI analysts who want to build the data layer behind SAP analytics, not just consume reports — plus consultants and internal teams working across Finance, Supply Chain, Sales, HR, and other LOBs. Three modules, each standalone, spanning BDC → Datasphere → embedded analytics → SAC.

  • SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC): Datasphere, SAC, Databricks & foundation services
  • Connecting sources across Finance, Supply Chain, Sales & HR
  • Data flows: remote tables → views → analytical datasets in Datasphere
  • VDM layering (I_, C_, 2C_) for embedded analytics in S/4HANA
  • Custom CDS views per LOB: GL line items, PO history, order items, headcount
  • "Lean CDS for SAC" rules: narrow views, push logic down, minimize parameters
  • Multi-page SAC stories: KPIs, charts, filters, drill-to-detail
  • Capstone: a story combining one Datasphere model + one CDS-based source

Each module awards an LWN completion badge on finishing. There's no formal SAP certification tied to this path currently — it's built for applied, reusable skill across LOBs, not exam prep.

Prerequisites: basic understanding of SAP ERP concepts (tables, transactions, reports) — no prior Datasphere or CDS experience required. Delivery includes live instructor-led sessions, hands-on labs with multi-LOB sample datasets, and optional office hours for troubleshooting labs and capstone work. Group and corporate cohort pricing available on request.

Module 1: $120 · Module 2: $150 · Module 3: $95 · or bundle all three for $299 (save $66, regular $365). See full pricing below ↓

Why This Path

The engineering side, not just the reporting side

01

How the stack connects

See how BDC, Datasphere, embedded analytics, and SAC fit together — not just one tool in isolation.

02

Real CDS view work

Build views you'd actually ship in an S/4HANA environment for Finance, Supply Chain, Sales, HR — not toy examples.

03

Modular by design

Take one module for a specific need — "I only need Datasphere for Finance" — or the full bundle.

04

Multi-LOB by default

Examples and labs span Finance, Supply Chain, Sales, HR & more — reusable patterns, not just one report.
