  • Key Concepts: 
    Drill-through is a feature of SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (EPM-BPC) that allows users to navigate from one report to another in order to gain more detailed information. It enables users to quickly access related data from different sources, such as different reports or databases, without having to manually search for the data. 
    
    How to use it: 
    To use drill-through, users must first create a drill-through definition in the EPM-BPC system. This definition will specify the source and target reports, as well as the data fields that should be used for the drill-through. Once the definition is created, users can then select a cell in the source report and click on the “Drill Through” button. This will open up the target report with the relevant data fields populated. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating a drill-through definition, it is important to ensure that all of the data fields are correctly mapped between the source and target reports. This will ensure that the correct data is displayed when drilling through. Additionally, it is also important to ensure that all of the necessary security settings are in place so that only authorized users can access the target report.
