前言 在进行计划预测时，我们经常使用“时间序列预测”功能来寻找一些关键 KPI 的演变规律，从而生成可以用以预测未来数值的预测模型。时间序列预测可以帮助帮助用户理解，这些 KPI 的变化是否存在某种规律，以及他们在某个特定月份是否倾向于更低的值（周期性分析）。 在一些情况下，被预测的 KPI 只和时间相关，因此仅依靠该 KPI 的历史值即可实现准确的预测。但有时，我们要预测的值不仅取决于时间，还与其他外部因素相关。例如，某公司产品的销售额在一定程度上与该公司在营销和广告上的花费有关，或者某一城市租用的自行车数量与该城市的天气和温度相关。 因此，在 SAP 分析云近期的更新中，我们将“影响因素”功能引入到时间序列预测模型中，使得时间序列模型的生成过程中，不仅可以基于历史值，更可以将其他外部影响因素的影响纳入模型的学习范围，从而生成更准确的预测值。在这篇文章中，我将向您展示如何使用“影响因素”功能，以从您的数据中获得更多见解，并提高预测的准确性。 场景 假设您在上海的一家自行车租赁公司工作。公司提供了一个计划模型，其中包含一个BikeHires测量值，表示每天的使用人数，以及与天气相关的几个测量值。您想基于预测计划来预测未来31天租用的自行车数量。在这种情况下，假设当前日期为2015年7月31日，这将允许我们将预测值与2015年8月实际产生的值进行比较。 如果要重新创建此示例，可以下载此数据集。请注意，列BikeHires, Temp.Min, Temp.Max, Temp.Mean, Humid.Min, Humid.Max, Humid.Mean 和 Rain将作为度量，其他列应视为维度。 基线预测模型 让我们创建一个“基线”预测模型，在不使用影响因素的情况下预测租用人数。我们将在 2015 年 7 月 31 日之后预测 31 个预测点，并从一整年的历史数据中学习，见下图。 如下图所示，我们配置一个观测项时段，时段大小为1年，截至2015年7月31日。 如下图所示，目前我们不添加任何的影响因素 对预测模型进行训练后，我们可以在预测建模报告中得到以下结论： 经过训练的预测模型的期望误差为93%。 当将预测值与实际值进行比较时，我们可以看到一些波动没有建模，一些预测值与实际值相差甚远。 共有7个异常值（预测值与实际值相差甚远的点）。 请注意，根据预测引擎的版本迭代，您得到的结果可能略有不同。 通过解释报告，我们可以看到预测模型在时间序列中发现了趋势和一些周期性模式。 这表明自行车租用量在一定程度上是由时间决定的。但我们认为，与天气相关的因素，如室外温度或降雨量，同样也会对自行车租赁产生影响。如今，我们可以利用“影响因素”功能，来验证是否有这种相关性。 利用影响因素改进预测模型 我们希望保留基线模型作为参考，并对改进的预测模型使用相同的设置，所以让我们使用“克隆”功能。 打开新创建的预测模型，向下滚动至设置的“影响因素”部分。让我们通过添加以下影响因素并训练预测模型来验证我们关于外部温度和降雨量对自行车租用产生影响的假设： Humid. Max 当日最大的空气湿度（%） Humid. Mean 当日平均的空气湿度（%） Humid. Min....

就在最近，我们的同事 Junling Chang 使用SAP 分析云中的分析应用功能，开发了一个专为移动端展示而设计的移动应用demo。 我们先来看下这个demo，这是一个移动端上的仪表盘，展示的是业务用户比较关心的一些关键指标，这些指标会按照不同的主题来加以分类，包括财务、销售、生产和库存等四个不同的主题。用户可以在这四个主题间做切换，快速定位到自己所关心的那部分内容。   关于这个demo的详细内容，可以参考以下的这篇blog： 指尖上的业务分析助理 – SAP 分析云与企业微信集成案例   今天我们就以这个移动应用为例，来简单介绍下如何利用分析应用做有针对性的移动设计，以及设计过程中需要注意的一些点或经验。   1 – 为什么要使用分析应用 我们都知道，在SAP 分析云的故事中，已经可以使用响应式画布来做设计，而这些响应式页面已经支持在移动端实现自适应的展现。但是，使用故事的响应式画布，在实际应用中，还是会遇到某些限制，比如： 画布的自适应行为完全由系统来决定，单个微件（widget）会占据整个屏幕的宽度，无法有效利用屏幕的全部空间 不同微件之间不允许重叠，在页面设计上会有一定局限性，尤其是最终的界面美观 用户交互的方式比较有限 而如果采用SAC的分析应用，则可以利用更丰富的配置以及灵活的脚本语言，来做灵活的页面布局，更美观的页面设计，以及更多样的用户交互，从而在移动端实现更好的用户体验。 目前，分析应用已经支持在IOS的SAC移动app，或者在移动设备的浏览器上使用。对于安卓端的SAC移动app对分析应用的支持，也已经在开发的产品路线图上。 关于分析应用的更多详细信息，可以参考以下帮助文档： SAP 分析云 帮助文档 – 分析应用设计（分析设计器）   2 – 如何为移动端设计分析应用 应用的页面分为上下两个部分：   位于页面底部的切换面板，方便用户在不同主题间做内容的切换 占据大部分页面的主题面板，展示不同主题下的内容，主题面板也包括两部分： 页面上方固定位置的KPI面板，展示用户最关心的一组关键指标 页面中间的分析面板，用户可以通过手指的移动来展示更多内容 下面我们就依次来介绍下不同面板的一些设计细节。   2.1 – 切换面板   切换面板包含了四个区块，代表不同的主题（财务、销售、生产、库存），供用户做切换，每个区块占据25%的屏幕宽度。 在设计上，每个区块其实都包含了四个不同的微件： 图片，即不同的小图标 文本，主题描述，如“财务分析” 前景图形，用于用户点击 背景图形，用于标识当前选中的主题   这个切换面板占据100%的屏幕宽度，为了保证切换面板一直显示，将其高度设计为固定的11%的屏幕高度（可根据页面设计自由调整），并且在位置上，设置为从屏幕底部开始布局。   每个区块则占据25%的屏幕宽度，分别从屏幕的0%、25%、50%和75%处开始定位。....

本文介绍的期间费用表是客户系统实施嵌入式分析eSAC的一次概念验证的成果，以验证期间费用表在S/4HANA Cloud中自建的可行性。S/4HANA Cloud 嵌入式 SAP Analytics Cloud 可以增强当前系统的分析功能，并更好地帮助客户分析业务相关数据。本文将会在下文向读者介绍如何实施嵌入式 SAC以完成期间费用表（跨三年比较）的关键步骤并展示嵌入式分析云的功能。 客户的需求 SAP S/4HANA Cloud 中已存在大量标准分析应用。但是，特定地区或有特殊用途的客户会对仪表盘/报表有特定的样式需求。很多中国客户财务部门想要在一个界面上查看不同公司代码中多个年度的账户余额，可以允许最终用户灵活地比较不同公司代码之间的财务绩效，并查看近三年的趋势。另外，如果客户要在当地地区进行 IPO，在招股说明书中需要向公众披露按职能范围划分的期间费用，以展示公司的财务状况。 期间费用表（跨三年比较）的内容如下： CompanyCode   FunctionArea   GLAccount   Amount (Current Period) Portion % by Account AMT_CurrentPeriodLastYear YOYRate_Period(CurrentPeriod) Amount (Previous Period) PeriodOnPeriodRatio YTD_CurrentYear YTD_LastYear TYD_YOYRate YTD_YM2 YTD_YM3 EndBalance_YM1 EndBalance_YM2 EndBalance_YM3   目前标准应用支持比较 2 年的账户余额。当前没有可以比较多个公司代码的 3 个会计年度科目余额的 CDS ，查询或 Fiori 应用程序。因此，我们推荐客户使用嵌入式分析云创建跨3 年比较的期间费用表。实现该表使用标准数据源，不需要执行许多步骤。  ....

在之前的文章中，我们向您介绍了预测计划的“影响因素”功能，以利用影响因素来提高预测的准确性。在那篇文章的末尾我们提到，当使用一些不受控制的影响因素时，因为您不能确定未来的值，您必须根据不同的场景生成多个预测。听起来很熟悉吗？您可能已经想到了假设模拟（What-If Simulation）。 假设模拟在计划环境中使用，以根据不同的假设业务场景确定KPI的值。 如果我的折扣和去年一样，我今年的收入会是多少？如果我不打折呢？ 如果新冠病毒疾病继续传播，我的费用会收到什么样的影响？如果取消隔离限制又会怎样？ 如果营销预算减少了怎么办？这将如何影响我的销售业绩？ 如果明天不下雨，我所在城市的自行车出租量会是多少？如果下雨怎么办？ 在这篇文章中，我们将向您展示如何利用SAP 分析云预测计划的预测功能来执行预测性“假设模拟”。 预测与假设模拟的关系 模拟模型 为了理解“预测假设模拟”与传统假设模拟的区别，我们需要快速了解假设模拟背后的方法。我们要执行假设模拟，需要： 一些业务变量：业务变量是与您的业务相关联的KPI（关键绩效指标）。 一些场景：这些场景是您想要测试的不同业务假设。每个场景对应于一组您想要测试的业务变量值，以查看它如何影响要估计的KPI。“如果我明年将广告预算增加10%，并保持相同的折扣”将是一种情况，“如果我明年将广告预算减少10%，且不打折”将是另一种情况。 模拟模型：模拟模型表示业务变量之间存在的关系。这是您业务的简化表现。 通常，模拟模型是计划模型本身，在计划模型中（通过创建层次结构或计算）明确表示度量/账户（业务变量）之间存在的关系。但该方法仅适用于以下情况： 必须知道业务变量和待估计结果之间的关系，并且必须在计划模型中正确表达； 业务变量和结果之间的关系不会随着时间而改变。 预测模型可以找到业务变量和要预测的KPI之间的关系，这些关系可能无法在计划模型中表达。此外，每次重新训练预测模型时，都会重新评估这些关系。预测模型可以作为补充，在业务变量和KPI之间提供额外的关系，从而获得更好的模拟模型。 实例 假设您是一名汽车销售，您想预测下一年的收入。您有一个具有以下KPI 的计划模型： 收入（您希望通过模拟估算的KPI） 售出的单位数量 单价 折扣 广告预算 在计划模型中，收入明确表示为售出单位数量、单价和折扣的函数（收入 = 售出单位数量*单价*折扣）。因为这种关系在计划模型中明确存在，所以您可以很容易地模拟折扣和单价的变化对收入的影响。 但这个计划模型也包含一些没有明确表达的关系。我们可以假设，折扣和广告预算会影响售出的单位数量（这通常就是为什么要进行折扣和广告）。但这些关系通常不会在计划模型中表达出来，因此在模拟中有一些不完全正确的地方：更改折扣和广告预算的值不会影响售出的单元数。 因此，为了修复模拟，您可以使用时间序列预测模型，以广告预算和折扣作为影响因素来预测售出的单元数。通过这种方式，缺失的关系被建模，并可用作规划模型中存在的关系的补充。 这些新关系可以带来两个好处： 您可以考虑之前在模拟中未考虑的变量的影响，例如广告预算； 运行模拟时，对于不受您控制的变量，不必给出确定的值，例如售出的单位数。对于受控制的变量，您可以给定相应的值，例如单价和广告预算。 场景 假设您在一家共享单车公司工作。您有一个计划模型，其中包含一个BikeHires测量值，表示每天的使用人数，以及与天气相关的几个测量值。您想基于预测计划来预测未来31天租用的自行车数量。如果要重新创建此示例，可以下载此数据集。请注意，列BikeHires, Temp.Min, Temp.Max, Temp.Mean, Humid.Min, Humid.Max, Humid.Mean 和 Rain将作为度量，其他列应视为维度。 步骤 模拟场景 在之前的一篇文章中，我们已经看到共享单车租赁的数量受到一些与天气有关的条件的影响。但我们希望得到未来30天的预测。我们可能会有一些相当精确的天气预报，我们可以用来预测明天，甚至可能是未来一周的天气预报，如果精确性不太重要的话……但我们不可能得到任何可信的的未来30天的天气预报。在这些情况下，我们都会使用不可靠的输入来生成预测。 那么，我们该怎么办？我们应该进行预测性的“假设”模拟，即根据不同的假设查看预测输出，知道它们只是假设。因为预测是基于本身不可预测的输入，所以我们不会对未来做出假设。相反，我们看的是在这样或那样的情况下会发生什么。 我们将使用3个简单场景（“假设”）进行假设模拟： 一种中间情景，可以根据天气的一些标准假设生成预测； 一种悲观情景，允许根据对天气的悲观假设生成预测（天气状况往往会降低自行车租用数量）； 一个乐观的情景，可以根据对天气的乐观假设（天气状况往往会增加自行车租用数量）生成。 设置场景 每个模拟场景都将表示为一个计划版本，因此我们需要创建3个私有版本。但要创建这些版本，我们需要考虑SAP....
