Note

ERP

General

Please use all authorizations from SAP BW above.

In our internal development tests, all BW roles were also used for ERP and worked flawlessly.

Theoretically, all entities and tables that exist in BW should also exist in ERP.
If this causes problems due to your company policies, simply remove the tables from the role.

SAP BO

SAP HANA
