For those of you who have already tried to get data out of Loyalty component in SAP CRM, this short document is maybe too late. For those of you just starting, please, keep in mind you are really lucky! As a short introduction we have to say that for BW consultants used to work with SAP ERP, working with SAP CRM for the first time will require a short period of adjustment. You will have to get used with new objets, new names and a different table structure. The good news for you is: some of us have already walked this path! This document will describe how to create a SAP CRM Loyalty generic datasource with the main fields necessary to perform key analysis related to loyalty in SAP NetWeaver BW (SAP BW). The goal is to explain step by step how to perform the following activities:

Create a view based on SAP CRM Loyalty tables; Create a generic datasource based on that view; Include new fields from other tables in the generic datasource; Create an ABAP routine to populate the new fields. We will use the following SAP CRM Loyalty tables: :

LOYD_PT_TXN - Loyalty Management Point Account Transaction; LOYD_MEM_MEMBER - Loyalty Menagement : Database Table for Member; LOYD_MSH_MEMS - Loyalty Membership Table; LOYD_MA_SPECATTR - Table for member activity specific attributes; LOYD_MA_GENATTR - Table to store member activity generic attributes; CGPL_PROJECT - Project Planning: Attribute Table for Project Headers. Step 1) Create a View based on LOYD_PT_TXN table: First we must create a view with the main loyalty tables, here we will use only the LOYD_PT_TXN table, which stores main loyalty transactional data, as amount of points, transaction reason, point type, among others. Fields from other tables will be inserted later by the Appended structure. In the SAP CRM system, go to transaction SE11 to create the view. Select the "View" option and enter a technical name for your view. In this case, our view will be the "ZCRM_LOY_01." Click Create.

Select the view type. In this case we are creating a database view.

In view maintenance screen, in tab "Table/Join Conditions", we will include the tables used to do the join and the relationship between them. Once we are using only one table, the relationship will be done through the GUID field.

In "View Fields" tab select the fields you would like to include in the view through the "Table Fields" button. We will select all fields from LOYD_PT_TXN.

Save and activate the view. Step 2) Create a generic datasource based on view ZCRM_LOY_01: Go to transaction RSO2, select the "Transaction Data" option and enter the generic datasource technical name. Here we will use the name ZCRM_LOY_TRANS. Click Create.

In the "Create Datasource" screen, click the "Extraction from View" botton, enter the application component in which the datasource will be located, the descriptions and the view that the datasource will be based. Save the datasource.

Select the fields that are visible and which are hidden. Hidden fields are not available for extraction. In our case we will keep all fields from ZCRM_LOY_TRANS datasource visible. Select the fields that will be available for selection in the InfoPackage during extraction for PSA. Once again, we will select all fields. Save the datasource. Now we will include the following fields from other SAP CRM loyalty tables that will be used in the datasource: Field MEMB_ID STATUS STATUS_REASON LAST_TXN_DATE MEMS_TYPE ACTIVITY_DATE EXTERNAL_ID PROGRAM_TYPE PROGRAM_GUID TICKET_NUMBER AMOUNT CURRENCY RETAIL_STORE_ID PARTNSHIP_EXT_ID Short Description Business Partner Number Status Status Reason Date Membership Types Storing Time Stamp Project Planning: External Indentifier of an Element Object Type in Project Planning Object GUID Ticket Number Amount for the activity Currency Retail Store ID MEMBER ACTIVITY PARTNERSHIP EXTERNAL ID Table LOYD_MEM_MEMBER LOYD_MSH_MEMS LOYD_MSH_MEMS LOYD_MSH_MEMS LOYD_MSH_MEMS LOYD_MA_GENATTR CGPL_PROJECT CGPL_PROJECT LOYD_MA_GENATTR LOYD_MA_SPECATTR LOYD_MA_SPECATTR LOYD_MA_SPECATTR LOYD_MA_SPECATTR LOYD_MA_GENATTR

Compone BU_PARTNER LOY_MSH_STAT LOY_MSH_STAT LOY_MEMS_DA LOY_MSH_MEM LOY_MA_TIMES CGPL_EXTID CGPL_OBJECT_T LOY_FRW_GUID LOY_MA_TKT_N LOY_MA_AMOU LOY_MA_CURR LOY_RETAIL_ST LOY_MA_PART_

In t-code RSO2, enter the datasource name and choose display.

Double-click the extraction structure to view the datasource structure. We will now add the new fields in this structure. Change to edit mode and click on "Append Structure ..." Enter a name for the Appended Structure and select Continue. Enter the name of the fields in "Component" column and the component type of each one in the "Component Type" column.

Save the modified structure. Return to the extraction structure and check that the inserted fields now appear in the structure.

Now we need to unhide the fields modified in the extraction structure, otherwise it will not appear on the extraction. Go to RSA6, locate the ZCRM_LOY_TRANS datasource on the application component hierarchy and choose change datasource.

All fields from ZCRM_LOY_TRANS datasource are displayed. The modified fields have a tick mark in "Hide Field" column. Remove the tick mark in the column so the fields become visible on the extraction. Save the datasource. Step 3) Populate new fields using a BADI: Now we will populate the appended fields via BADI. I recommend that you see SAP Note 691154 which brings information about user exits with BADI interfaces. The first step is to check if there is already a BADI RSU5_SAPI_BADI definition on your system. To do this, go to SE18 and enter "RSU5_SAPI_BADI" at "BAdI Name" field and choose Display. If the BADI definition already exists you will see the details of the BADI, otherwise you will need to create this definition. To create the BADI definition, enter "RSU5_SAPI_BADI" at "BAdI Name" field and choose Create.

Enter Implementation Name as ZRSU5_SAP_BADI and choose OK. Enter a description for the implementation and click activate. Once activated the BADI implementation is created and we will populate the fields. In t-code SE19, enter the name RSU5_SAP_BADI on "Classic BAdI" and click on display.

To access the methods section, go to the tab "Interfaces" and double-click on the Implementing class name.

In the Methods tab, create a new method with the name of the generic datasource created, in our case ZCRM_LOY_TRANS.

Click the "Parameters" button and enter the parameters as follows:

Returning to methods screen, double click on the method ZCRM_LOY_TRANS to enter the ABAP code:

endmethod. Save the code. The ABAP code in the above method will be executed when we run the infopackage to load the data from the datasource. You can now test the extraction at transaction RSA3 and see if everything is working accordingly.
