• Key Concepts: 
  The Information Consumer Pattern (ICP) is a component of SAP Business Warehouse (BW) Business Content and Extractors. It is a set of predefined data extraction and transformation rules that allow users to quickly and easily extract data from SAP source systems. The ICP is designed to reduce the complexity of extracting data from SAP source systems, allowing users to quickly and easily access the data they need. 
  
  How to use it: 
  The ICP can be used to extract data from SAP source systems such as ERP, CRM, SRM, and other SAP applications. To use the ICP, users must first define the source system and the target system. Once this is done, users can then select the appropriate ICP rule for their data extraction needs. The ICP will then automatically extract the data from the source system and transform it into the target system format. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the ICP, it is important to ensure that all of the necessary information is included in the source system before attempting to extract it. This will help ensure that all of the necessary data is extracted correctly and efficiently. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all of the necessary transformations are applied correctly in order to ensure that the extracted data is in the correct format for the target system.
