What is one advantage of using Core Data Services (CDS) views in SAP S/4HANA reporting?

Using Core Data Services (CDS) views in SAP S/4HANA reporting provides a significant advantage by enabling integration with embedded Business Warehouse (BW) capabilities for advanced reporting. CDS views offer a semantic layer that allows the creation of complex views and data models directly in the database. This integration enhances reporting capabilities by leveraging the analytical power of embedded BW, which can provide sophisticated data analysis, reporting, and visualization options.

The ability to use features from both S/4HANA and embedded BW allows organizations to generate more insightful reports in real-time and utilize advanced analytical functions without the need for separate data processing layers. This integration leads to better performance and simplification of reporting processes, allowing users to analyze and derive insights from massive amounts of transactional data efficiently.

This focus on combining CDS views with BW enables users to create dynamic and reusable data models that cater to various reporting needs, making it a powerful tool for business intelligence within the SAP ecosystem.
