CTS star
CTS star gives you powerful, fast and easy access to SAP FC data, even if you don’t know the SAP FC data and metadata structure.
Principles
CTS star provides you with clear, easy-to-use views, with no duplication of data, enabling data to be read and extracted by external tools. CTS star lets you group a large number of consolidations into a single view, simplifying data handling by presenting it as a single table. Dimensions are presented exhaustively, with all their characteristics and sub-characteristics, without the need for additional joins. What’s more, periods are treated in the same way as other dimensions, offering uniformity in data handling.
Star schema
The star schema adopted ensures that all dimensions are complete, with their characteristics and sub-characteristics, grouped together in a single table. What’s more, it’s possible to create as many online “templates” as required, according to different consolidation sorting criteria, offering greater flexibility in data analysis.
Connecting external solutions
CTS star offers an efficient approach to connecting downstream solutions to SAP FC, providing clear, usable views of the data, without requiring a detailed understanding of FC’s internal structure. Its star schema, dimensional completeness and flexibility in creating online templates make it an attractive option for meeting specific data reading and retrieval needs.
