BI DP Icon Key

July 16, 2008 by sapplanningadmin

One of the most confusing things about BI and DP is the icons that are used by SAP. They don’t signify what they are supposed to…at least to most people. So we thought we would list them in a key here.

Data Store Object

Data Transfer Process folder

Data Transfer Process (itself, not the folder, SAP most likely made the folder because there are multiple DTPs)
DataSource

Also DataSource but found inside of right viewpane

InfoCube

InfoObject

Key Figures

Characteristics

InfoPackage

InfoProvider

InfoProvider or InfoObject folder

InfoSource

2nd InfoSource

MultiProvider

PC Source System

Update Rules
