Unit 3: Basic Concepts of Data Actions
Basic Concepts of Data Actions
Introduction

▪ Data actions define a sequence of operations

performed on the data of a model
▪ Data actions can be used to transform data or
perform custom logic calculations based on the
data
▪ Data actions can be re-used in different stories
or analytical applications
▪ Data actions are key for defining data-intense
custom logic operations

© 2020 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 2

Basic Concepts of Data Actions
Basic mode of operation

▪ Steps in a data action are executed sequentially

▪ The result of one step is visible for the subsequent steps
▪ For each step, an execution scope can be defined via filters

Fetch working set

Calculate Model Data

results

Write-back result
Result Result 1

© 2020 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 3

Basic Concepts of Data Actions
Types of steps

▪ Each step of a data action can be one of the

following supported types:
1. Copy Operation: Copy data within the same
data model
2. Cross-Model Copy: Copy data between
models
3. Allocation: Allocate data from sender to
source according to specific rules
4. Advanced Formula: Custom logic via textual
script or visual formulas

© 2020 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 4

Basic Concepts of Data Actions
Execution

▪ Data actions are defined by expert users

▪ Data actions can be triggered in different ways:
− Manually via data action triggers
− Scheduled via the planning calendar
▪ In a story, data action triggers provide the run-
time parameters for the execution

© 2020 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved. ǀ PUBLIC 5

Basic Concepts of Data Actions
Parameters

▪ Data actions can be parameterized, allowing the

user to define the execution scope
▪ There are two different types of parameters:
1. Members: The parameter is bound to a member
of a certain model dimension
2. Numbers: The parameter is a numeric value
▪ Member parameters are typically used to define
the execution scope
▪ Number parameters are typically used as
parameters for calculations (e.g. tax rates, growth
factors, etc.)

ad-hoc operations to provide flexibility to
end users
▪ Story-based copy & paste is also capable
of handling mass data (copy details)
