What is 'reusable structure' in SAP BW - SAP Business Information Warehouse?

reusable structure - Overview

• Component: BW

• Component Name: SAP Business Information Warehouse

• Description: Part of a query that is saved so that it can be used again in an InfoCube. Reusable structures enable you to use parts of a query definition again in other queries. These structures are freely definable reports consisting of combinations of characteristics and basic key figures for example, calculated or restricted key figures from the InfoCube. A structure can be a plan/actual comparisson or a contribution margin scheme, for example.

reusable structure - Details

  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.
