The use of Alteryx within the Tax, Audit and Finance functions is a particularly hot topic at the moment and with good reason. Alteryx can help users across the Tax, Audit, and Finance offices to significantly reduce the time and effort spent manually gathering data and reconciling business and legal entities, along with generating their internal and regulatory reporting.  

​All of this is true, but if the majority of the data you need to access resides in an SAP system you will need the DVW Alteryx Connector for SAP to streamline the import of that data into Alteryx. 

The SAP Report tool is used to extract data from SAP Transaction Codes (T-Codes) and SAP Reports directly into Alteryx.
​
In this blog we will show you how to use the SAP Report tool to extract data from the SAP Vendor Line Item Display transaction (T-Code FBL1N) into Alteryx.

The SAP Document Read tool can extract attachments in any of the SAP supported MIME type formats including texts, images, audio, video and applications such as PDF, MS Word, MS Excel, MS Powerpoint etc.

​In this blog we will show you how to extract attachments for Plant Maintenance and Customer Service documents stored in SAP ECC or SAP S/4HANA. For example you can extract the attachments for Plant Maintenance Notifications (IW21 / IW22 / IW23),  Plant Maintenance Orders / Service Orders  (IW31 / IW32 / IW33), Service Notifications (IW51 / IW52 / IW53), Functional Locations (IL01 / IL02 / IL03), Equipment (IE01 / IE02 / IE03) and so on. 

In this blog we identify the most important SAP Inventory Management tables for users of Alteryx and the DVW Alteryx Connector for SAP.

In this blog we identify the most important SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) tables for users of Alteryx and the DVW Alteryx Connector for SAP.

As an SAP customer you will, at some point in the near future, need to consider replacing SAP ECC with SAP S/4HANA.
​
Regardless of whether you proceed with a new (Greenfield) implementation, a system conversion (the so-called, Brownfield approach) or a selective data transition; the successful migration of your business data will be key to delivering a successful programme.

​In this blog we will use Alteryx to build a model that produces a prioritized list of prospective customers for targeted marketing campaigns.

The Alteryx workflow builds a linear regression model using current customer data from SAP which is scored against prospective customer data from an Excel Sheet to produce a prioritized list of prospects.

​The data is then published to Microsoft Power BI.

​Running SAP ECC for your back office but Salesforce.com for your CRM? Take a look at our short demo showing how easy it is to pull data from SAP using the Alteryx Connector for SAP before loading it into Salesforce.com with Alteryx.

If you are pulling your SAP data directly into Qlik you could be missing a trick. ​Check out our short demo of SAP data being used with the Predictive Analytics capabilities of Alteryx before visualising the data in Qlik.

​The Alteryx Connector for SAP, works with SAP S/4HANA (AKA SAP Business Suite 4 SAP HANA) on-premise edition in the same way as it does for SAP’s Business Suite solutions (ECC, CRM etc.).

Take a look at this short demo of the Alteryx Connector for SAP (ACS) being used with an SAP S/4HANA system.

​Check out this video in which, Daneel De Villiers of DVW, shows you how easy it is for Alteryx and Tableau users to utilize SAP data with the Alteryx Connector for SAP.
