• Key Concepts: 
  Reusable structure is a feature of SAP Business Information Warehouse (BW) that allows users to create a structure that can be used multiple times in different BW objects. This structure can be used to store data, such as customer information, product information, or financial data. The structure can also be used to define the relationships between different objects in the BW system. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the reusable structure feature, users must first create a structure in the BW system. This structure can be created using the BW Modeler tool or by using the BW Query Designer. Once the structure is created, it can be used in different BW objects, such as InfoProviders, InfoObjects, and InfoCubes. The structure can also be used to define relationships between different objects in the BW system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a reusable structure, it is important to ensure that all of the fields are properly defined and that all of the relationships between objects are correctly defined. This will ensure that the structure can be used multiple times without any issues. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all of the fields are properly labeled so that they can be easily identified when using the structure in different BW objects.
