SAP PaPM (Profitability and Performance Management) Quick Notes

1. What is SAP PaPM?

- SAP PaPM is a high-performance calculation engine on SAP HANA to model, simulate, and analyze large volumes of

financial and operational data in real-time.

2. Core Features:

- Real-time HANA-based modeling

- No data replication

- Rule-based logic (costing, simulation, allocations)

- Integration with S/4HANA, BW, CDS, Flat files

3. Key Use Cases:

- OPEX & CAPEX Planning

- Cost Allocation (e.g., HR, IT, Facilities)

- Transfer Pricing

- Profitability Analysis

- Activity-Based Costing

- Funds Transfer Pricing (FTP)

4. Modeling Environment:

- Environments: Containers for projects

- Functions: Core components of logic

- Model Table/View: Base data source

- Types: Join, Allocation, Derivation, Valuation, Write, View

5. Common Function Types:

- Model Table/View: Data input/output

- Join: Combine multiple sources

- Allocation: Spread costs using driver logic

- Derivation: Rule-based field population

- Valuation: Calculation rules

- Write: Persist results to a table


- View: Reporting-friendly output

6. Allocation Function:

- Use for cost/revenue distribution

- Sender/Receiver logic

- Driver data-based allocation (e.g., FTEs, usage)

- Methods: % share, fixed rate, value-based

7. PaPM Expressions:

- Arithmetic: +, -, *, /

- Conditions: IF, CASE, SWITCH

- String: CONCAT, SUBSTRING, UPPER

- Date: TODAY(), YEAR(), ADD_DAYS()

8. Data Integration:

- Supports direct read from S/4HANA, HANA tables, BW, CSV

- No replication needed

- PaPM reads data in-memory

9. Security:

- Role-based

- Environment-level restrictions

- Object-level restrictions via authorizations

10. Transport & Landscape:

- Uses SAP Transport Requests

- Development QA Production

- Package grouping for transport

- Re-map tables manually after import

11. Performance Optimization:

- Minimize JOINs on big data

- Pre-aggregate where possible


- Use filters in Model Tables

- Keep Write steps only when needed

12. Reporting Integration:

- SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)

- Analysis for Office (AFO)

- SAP Fiori Launchpad (Tile View)

- Calculation Views as reporting layer

13. Useful T-Codes / UIs:

- /NXI/P1 PaPM Launchpad

- ST22 ABAP Dumps

- SM37 Job Monitor

- SE16H Table Viewer

- SU53 Authorization Errors

14. Project Tips:

- Follow naming conventions (ZENV_)

- Document logic in Function Text

- Always start with clean, profiled data

- Simulate with test data

- Use scenario manager for what-if
