For fun, I thought I would see if this works. Of course, using fake data (I can't share real data here). I am using an ERP BEx query against the FI Check Register. Say for instance you want to forecast cash flow based on cash paid (in public sector enterprises, this is a big deal in my experience).
Using SAP Predictive's Expert Analytics, I gave this a try.
Figure 1
First (and this is just me) I took a look at how the BEx query looks in Analysis Office. Note that I am using a SAP Business Content BEx Query against the check register, not one that I created myself.
Figure 2
Using Expert Analytics I search for the check register query

I decide not to select the Cash Discount. See the message "Selected query contains features that are not currently supported by this application" - when I tried this in the 2.0 version I couldn't get the standard BEx queries with cost center hierarchies to work. I hope to research this more later.

Figure 4 shows the model configuration where I select forecast over trend.

Figure 5 shows success when I run the model.
