Use

It is also possible to determine key figures values from external systems and display them in the Portal.

The following RFC functions modules are provided for this:

  • You can use the function module KFM_KF_DEFINITION_GET_RFC to get information about the definition of a key figure (such as threshold values, description, and target values) from the SAP ERP system.
  • You can use the function module KFM_KF_DB_VALUE_INSERT to transfer key figure values to the SAP ERP system.

You must initiate key figure determination in the external system and start there. If you want the determination to occur regularly, you must also configure this in the external system. The SAP ERP system only receives the key figure values.

Requirements

In the work step Define Key Figure you have created the key figure for which you want to determine the values. You have specified External System as the Source System Type. If necessary enter a URL in the URL of External System field for displaying the detailed screen.

Standard settings

Activities

  1. To determine information about the key figure, call the function module KFM_KF_DEFINITION_GET_RFC with the parameter I_KF_ADM_VAR (technical name of key figure).
  2. Perform value determination in the external system.
  3. Call the function module KFM_KF_DB_VALUE_INSERT with the parameters I_KF_ADM_VAR and I_KF_VALUE to transfer the key figure values to the SAP ERP system.
