A key feature of SAP S/4HANA is Embededd Analytics,But what do we mean by Embedded Analytics?On the left of the figure, Embedded Analytics and Decision Support, we see only the critical missing parts that need to be procured. These parts are presented only because they need some action. As the planner clicks each part, the main screen presents the shortfall situation in an easy-to-interpret graph for analysis. It is possible to drill down on any part of the graph to break down the aggregated demand or supply columns to find out why the parts are being consumed too quickly, and why the supply is falling short. This detailed analysis would have been carried out as a separate task in previous systems, but now the analysis takes places inside the application where there is context.After the analysis, the planner can choose an action and even simulate the effect before committing.This is an example of how OLTP and OLAP are now combined to create modern applicationsthat combine transactions and analytics. This is called Embedded Analytics. There are many applications in SAP S/4HANA that contain Embedded Analytics.
