Line-item browsers use the speed of SAP HANA
for interactive drill-down navigation from
aggregated data to single documents
 Checking a user’s area of responsibility
 Searching for exception postings
 Checking balances, …
Different line-item browsers for different
application areas with a unified user experience
 Classic General Ledger Accounting [transaction FBL3H]
 General Ledger Accounting (new) [transaction FAGLL03H]
 Vendor Accounts [transaction FBL1H]
 Customer Accounts [transaction FBL5H]
Line-item browsers are new transactions within SAP ERP. They complement the existing line-
item reports for customer accounts (FBL5N), vendor accounts (FBL1N), General Ledger
(FBL3N), and General Ledger (new) (FAGLL03).

Drill-Down Reporting — Access G/L Totals from HANA
The central read function module has been enhanced and now reads the data
stored in the G/L totals table (e.g., FAGLFLEXT*) from the SAP HANA
database
 A number of drill-down reports have been accelerated

Drill-Down Reporting in New General Ledger
Performance Effects
Historical Strategy
1. Read all data, keep it in application memory
2. Any user request for changes in the output will
be performed on the data in application memory
New Strategy
 Read-only data (from HANA) necessary
for the output
Runtime Improvements
 Initial response time might be drastically reduced, depending on the nature of the
selected data, e.g., from 3h to minutes
 Following navigation steps will have response times in the range of seconds
 When initial selection is performed in background and stored for interactive reporting,
an acceleration of one third was measured

Overhead Calculation
Overhead calculation allocates overhead to cost
objects in actual/plan data. Overhead keys serve to
calculate different overhead rates for different objects
(such as the material being manufactured). Overhead
costs are allocated to the cost objects based on the
quantity or as a percentage of the direct costs.
Runtime improvement:
• Programs will typically only
need half the time
• Programs for overhead calculation read
aggregated line-item information from SAP
HANA instead of totals tables

TruCloud Benefits
1. Further speed up time and lower the effort needed
to assess what HANA acceleration for SAP ERP
Financials can do for your organization using your
data (days not weeks to implement after scoping
and planning)
2. Leverage TruCloud to reduce the dependence on
skilled resources and infrastructure through pre-
defined set-up, templates and jobs like data
replication and system backups.
3. Gain relevant performance statistics, technology
selection insights and end-user feedback to build
your business case and roadmap

3. Gain relevant performance statistics, technology
selection insights and end-user feedback to build
your business case and roadmap

What We Need From You
1. In order to hook up your non-productive system to
TruCloud, we need access to your system and ports
opened to create the HANA database connection and
configure HANA acceleration to your SAP ERP
(including service users for remote connectivity)
2. You must be on SAP ECC 6.0 EhP5 or higher, with SAP
Landscape Transformation (SLT) installed.
3. We will provide your team with a checklist of SAP
NetWeaver authorizations access needed and the
activities that will be performed

Faster transactions and reports
• Customers will not see any difference to the
existing business processes; they will just
run faster … can process more data in the
same time
Acceleration
New capabilities
• Customers will have additional options for
reporting and analysis without having to
change existing business processes
• Includes Line Item Browsers and Virtual Info
Providers
Innovation
… without disruption … without disruption
• Facility in ERP that allows for use / leverage of SAP HANA as a secondary
database
• No changes to the ERP user interface, customizing or master data
• Existing ERP transactions and reporting will function as-is
• Accelerator capabilities can be selectively activated on a scenario level
• The system will switch back to the ERP database where SAP HANA is
unavailable. ERP functions and features will remain in-tact as today, just run
at speeds without acceleration
Try and decide without disruption

TruCloud - FAQ
Why TruQua’s TruCloud approach?
 TruCloud is a predefined proven process which provides
an accelerated quality execution based on TruQua’s
proprietary setup documentation and load scripts
Why Amazon?
 TruCloud leverages Amazon AWS, offering the best
combination of short-term commitment and hourly cost for
non-productive use of a SAP HANA system in the cloud
What about SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud (HEC)?
 SAP HEC and TruCloud system setup and data loads are
basically the same; however with HEC the customer would
have to commit to minimum contract duration as well as
supply extra efforts to coordinate the HANA setup and
administration activities. The TruCloud solution cuts
through all of this setup and allows the customer to “try”
the HANA product almost as fast as HANA itself
 SAP HEC is however highly recommended for all
productive use
Does SAP provide “try-end-decide”
 SAP offers (fee-based) internal services to use SAP HANA
systems, they are not optimized however for the try-and-
decide HANA Finance Accelerator use case
Additional Finance Acceleration scenarios
 All generally available HANA Finance Accelerators
scenarios are available. General Ledger, Cost
Management, and Profitability template have been
predefined for fast deployment. Additional setup costs may
apply for deployment solutions other than General Ledger,
Cost Management, and Profitability.
Firewalls and security
 Connectivity between the ERP system and SAP HANA in
the cloud is responsibility of the customer. TruQua can
assist in and help coordinate the enablement
WAN and LAN performance impact
 WAN and LAN performance do impact the efficiency of the
HANA Finance Accelerators. While typically of low impact,
TruQua can provide performance measurement services to
analyze performance issues as well as document the
overall performance gains obtained
Regional availability
 TruCloud is available in key SAP regions, for availability in
your region please contact david.dixon@truqua.com
