Additional Custom Fact Data

Most implementations have greater fact and measure requirements than the default solution interfaces provide. While it is possible to load additional data directly into the RPASCE PDS, there is the option to send some of this data into the Retail Insights data model alongside your foundation data files. This makes it available for many more use cases within RAP, such as reporting, data visualization and extensions in IW.

There are four flexible fact interfaces (referred to as Flex Facts) in the Retail Insights data warehouse that can also be used as general-purpose data interfaces in RAP (even if you do not subscribe to RI itself). These interfaces have W_RTL_FLEXFACT at the start of the file and table names. For details on how to configure and use these interfaces, refer to the Retail Insights Implementation Guide chapter on “Planning and Flex Fact Configurations”.
