Documentation
Definition
A filter is an object that describes a multidimensional extract of data from a data set.
Use
Filter are used in various scenarios (such as reporting, analysis and planning) to restrict the data so that only data for specific business areas, product groups or time periods. By segmenting the data set, you can ensure that users or user groups only have access to the data that is relevant to them and can only see the relevant data areas in an application scenario.
In BW-integrated planning, the filters specify the data selection for which a planning function is executed. A planning sequence comprises a set of planning functions. A filter is assigned to each of these functions.
Filters can be reused in planning functions and queries.
Dependencies
Example
You want to revaluate the transaction data in your InfoProvider by 10%. However, you only want the revaluation to be applied to specific customer groups. You can do this by creating a filter that contains the customer groups that you want to revaluate.
