Thank you Jimmy,
There are some limitations with Direct Query as in it only shows Text and not Keys from SAP BW and a flat file source cannot be merged. I'm instead looking into the import from BW option. The gateway couldnt be connected to SAP BW. Im working with our infrastructure team to install SAP client tools on Azure server for the gateway connection to be succesful. Hope that will help with the scheduled refresh of the import
