  • Key Concepts: 
    BI drill-through is a feature of SAP Business Intelligence (BI) that allows users to access detailed information from a source system, such as FS-BA-SD Source Data, by drilling down into the data from a BI report. This feature enables users to quickly and easily access the underlying data that is used to generate the report. 
    
    How to use it: 
    To use BI drill-through, users must first create a BI report that contains the data they wish to drill down into. Once the report is created, users can select the “Drill Through” option from the report menu. This will open a new window that displays the underlying data from the source system. Users can then select the specific data they wish to view and click “OK” to view it. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When using BI drill-through, it is important to remember that only data from the source system can be accessed. If you need to access data from other systems, you will need to create separate reports for each system. Additionally, it is important to note that some source systems may not support drill-through functionality.
