In this SAP PaPM Tutorial we will show the steps to create a new Model View Function using the My Environments Fiori App.

How can I become an SAP PaPM Consultant ?

To become an SAP PaPM Consultant you need to learn how to carry out Modeling tasks such as the creation of Environments, of PaPM Functions to read data, then you should be able to create functions to enrich and join data so that all the "raw data" can be then processed with calculations, derivations and allocations to produce reports, forecasts and queries that can be consumed by end-users such as managers.

We are now in the details for our environment and the section to the left of the screen is the Function Tree and everything is grayed out so we need to click the Edit (Pencil icon)

This will enable multiple buttons but right now we need to click the + (Add Function)

Select the option One Level to have the new function correctly organized in the Function Tree

SAP PaPM will propose the identification number for the new function but we can edit that one if needed. For our example we will modify and use RDHAN as the identification

Next we need to enter a description for the new function (i.e. Read from HANA Table)

For each function it is necessary to select the correct Function Type and for our scenario that means that we have to select the Model View

Confirm that all the values are correct and if they are... click continue (i.e. OK)

Now we need to select HANA Table as the source for our new Model View function

Next, we need to select the SAP HANA Authoring Schema

And then using the matchcode we should look for the HANA Table

After entering the id of the table (i.e. ZFS350T3) we need to click Search

And from the list we now have to double click the HANA Table

Result: HANA table ZFS350 has been selected as the source

Now we have to save the definition of the Model View Function (click SAVE Top-Left Corner)

Close the confirmation message

Now we have to activate the Model View Function (click Activate Top-Right Corner)

Close the activation message

Result: The information stored in the SAP HANA Table is now available for us to use in SAP PaPM and we even have the data model in the current screen for the Model View Function definition (Three columns: One for the Material ID, the second for the Material Type and finally the third one for the Material price)
