SEM-Business Consolidation starter question

Hi there,
It`s my first attempt in Business Consolidation, hence I`m trying to first create a Data Basis
I am referring to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem40bw/helpdata/en/67/f7e73ac6e7ec28e10000000a114084/frameset.htm and it states that I need to first create the following :-
SEM_BCS_TOTALS
SEM_BCS_DOCS
SEM_BCS_INVDTA
SEM_BCS_SUPDTA
I have checked in my Business Content and it`s not there. Please advice if I need to custom create these InfoCube/Virtual InfoCube ?
Next question would be assignment of the followings :- What exactly do I input ?
InfoProvider for MultiCube reporting
InfoObject Catalog for Characteristics
InfoObject Catalog for Key Figure
Appreciate if someone can guide me through my first steps since I it`s my first time doing Business Consolidation.

Hi,
 I created a new Data Basis named Data_Basis_1.
 Selected 0BCS_C11 as Total Records Stream
 Hit 'Yes', when prompted for "Do you really want to generate the data basis?"
 Selected SEM_BCS_CHA01 as InfoObject Catalog for Characteristic and SEM_BCS_KYF01 as InfoObject Catalog for Key Figure
 and it worked magically!
 So, the next logical thing to do would be to assign the Source to the Data Basis created so far.
 According to the link below, the following needs to be done ...
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem40bw/helpdata/en/12/f35e32342c4bbd9b36bd18c0371c47/content.htm
 1. Create a source data basis. Enter system A as the RFC Destination. Then under InfoProvider enter your InfoCube with the planning data.
 2. Assign this new source data basis to your data basis.
 3. Create a Load from Data Stream method and select your system A as the RFC Destination and your InfoCube with the planning data as the InfoProvider. If the structure of the planning data does not match the corresponding fields of your data model, define suitable mapping rules.
 4. Execute the new method.
 My scenario here is SEM and BW both resides in the same box. There is a logical connection to SAP R/3 to SAP BW defined
 Please advice how do I proceed here onwards ?
 Appreciate your help, mate!

Three Getting Started Questions with RV180

I recently purchased the RV180 router. I have a few quick "getting started" questions about using it:
1. Is the "Static DHCP" the screen I need to use in order to reserve DHCP addresses (see attached)? That's where I've been reserving all my DHCP addresses with. I'm just making sure I have the correct screen.
2. Do I need to do anything to "backup" my configuration, or will my settings still be around when the RV180 reboots?
3. Do I need to run a check for firmware update on the RV180, and how do I update the firmware on the RV180 (as well as the SG200-18), or does it usually come with the latest firmware out-of-the-box? If I go ahead and put a service contract on the RV180 and SG200-18, will I receive my firmware updates automatically? Are the part numbers for the service contracts the same for the RV180 and SG200-18?
Thanks!

Hello,
1. Is the "Static DHCP" the screen I need to use in order to reserve DHCP addresses (see attached)? That's where I've been reserving all my DHCP addresses with. I'm just making sure I have the correct screen.
Yes, that is the correct location to set DHCP reservations.
2. Do I need to do anything to "backup" my configuration, or will my settings still be around when the RV180 reboots?
Whenever you hit save after making a change you configuration is saved and will survive a reboot.
If you would like to save backup copy of your configration file just go to Administration >> Backup/Restore settings.
3. Do I need to run a check for firmware update on the RV180, and how do I update the firmware on the RV180 (as well as the SG200-18), or does it usually come with the latest firmware out-of-the-box? If I go ahead and put a service contract on the RV180 and SG200-18, will I receive my firmware updates automatically? Are the part numbers for the service contracts the same for the RV180 and SG200-18?
You will need to manually update the firmware on the RV180. That firmware is available here:
RV180 Firmware
It is simply one file, that you upload under Administration >> Firmware Upgrade. There is no bootcode for the routers (like there was with your switch)
You can locate this in the future the same way you did the SG200 firmware (because this link may change) on the Cisco website.
As for the service contract, the part number for both of those devices will be CON-SBS-SVC2.
Hope that helps, and I will try to get to your other questions sometime today as well. Also since you just bought there you are of course welcome to call in and get some support over the phone, both your devices do come with 1 year of technical support, and it sounds like you are getting or have contracts, so I guess make that 3 years.

Business Consolidation query

Hi experts,
I am BI consultant working on SEM-BCS .We have a requirement to get GL account level information in the consolidated queries.Is it a good option to add the GL account as well in BCS layout as I feel this would defy the entire idea of consolidation ? Since consolidation is across company codes it has only the group account and not the G/L accnt. Can you please suggest ?

Dear EXPERTS,
I am fresher in SEM-BCS. I have got the requirement for Business Consolidation.
Can ANy one help me out
1) For any Config Guide
2) Any Site link
3) any Training Manual.
Utterly in need of it
Thanks

BUSINESS CONSOLIDATION SYSTEM

Hi Gurus...
Could you please send any document related to BCS (BUSINESS CONSOLIDATION SYSTEM )

HI. Sudheer
Business Consolidation (SEM-BCS)
The following sections contain the documentation on the BW-based component Business Consolidation.
The documentation on the R/3-based component Business Consolidation is located elsewhere. This documentation can be accessed, for example, by calling up Application Help in your R/3-based Business Consolidation system.
Purpose
You can use the SEM component Business Consolidation (Consolidation) to determine the resources of a group (or a similar enterprise or organizational unit), the claims by others to those resources, and the changes to those resources. Consolidation also provides the means for internal and external enterprise reporting.
You can consolidate on the basis of customer-defined consolidation units. Consolidation units can represent, for example, companies, plants, business areas, profit centers, and cost centers. You can also portray matrix organizations (for example, using a combination of companies and profit centers).
You can standardize the financial data reported by individual consolidation units to adhere to the accounting and valuation standards of the group. You then translate the standardized financial data from the various local currencies into the group currencies. Finally, you can eliminate the effects of group-internal relationships (for example, from interunit trade and services). Thus, you calculate the consolidated financial statements as if the group were a single entity.
You can use the analysis functions of SAP Strategic Enterprise Management (SEM) and those of SAP Business Information Warehouse (BW) to analyze and report on your consolidated financial statement data.
Integration
The Consolidation component provides functions to collect master data and individual financial statement data from data files from non-SAP systems as well as SAP systems.
All SEM components are based on BW. These are:
Business Consolidation (SEM-BCS)
Business Planning and Simulation (SEM-BPS)
Corporate Performance Monitor (SEM-CPM)
Stakeholder Relationship Management (SEM-SRM)
Business Information Collection (SEM-BIC)
The data processed by Consolidation is written to the BW system. There you can share the data between Consolidation and the other SEM components. For example, you can:
Collect SEM-BPS planning data for use as reported financial data in consolidation
Use consolidated actual data as the basis for further planning in SEM-BPS.
Features
Versions
You can use versions to execute parallel consolidations with different categories of data (for example, actual data, planning data, forecasting data), using different accounting principles (for example, US GAAP, IAS, German HGB), using different valuations, and/or for simulations.
Hierarchies
You can create hierarchies for almost all characteristics (for example, consolidation units and financial statement items), where some hierarchies have special, consolidation-specific properties.
Consolidation Charts of Accounts
The component enables you to use different charts of accounts for consolidation. For example, this allows you to generate several consolidated financial statements in parallel to accommodate different accounting principles.
Collection and Standardization of Reported Data
You can use online data entry or flexible upload to collect individual financial statement data and other consolidation-relevant data into the consolidation system.
You can post manual entries, for example, to standardize the reported data to meet the accounting and valuation requirements of the group.
Consolidation Tasks
You can automatically execute the following consolidation tasks:
Currency translation (which translates the financial data into the currency of the consolidation group)
Validation
Interunit eliminations (for example, for payables and receivables, revenue and expense, or investment income)
Elimination of interunit profit/loss in inventory
Consolidation of investments
Reclassification
Allocation
Balance carryforward
The automated postings are controlled by the task settings you define once beforehand in Customizing.
Reporting
After performing the consolidation tasks, you can use BW reports to analyze your data. SAP provides pre-defined BW business content (InfoCubes, queries, etc.) for this purpose.
You can use XBRL to create individual or consolidated financial statements.
Execution and Monitoring of the Consolidation Process
You use the consolidation monitor to execute the consolidation tasks and to monitor the entire consolidation process.
Constraints
The automated execution of the elimination of IU profit/loss in transferred assets is presently not available.
The automated execution of consolidation of investments presently only covers the purchase method with the activities first consolidation and subsequent consolidation.
You can use manual posting to perform the consolidation tasks that are not yet automated to meet the statutory requirements for creating consolidated financial statements.

Impact of only balances in local currency in business consolidation

Hi,
We are doing business consolidation based on classical GL
and extracting data for consolidation from GLT3 table.
In some cases we are not getting the transaction currency
amount for certain GL Accounts in GLT3, it is giving the same amount as Local Currency.
Is it a impact of tick only balances in local currency, if so
how do we go ahead correcting it.
Thanks in Advance
Phutane

Hi,
Remove the Tick mark 'Only Balance in Local Currency' in the master record.
This should solve the issue.

Change master data of business consolidation directly in the quality system

Dear All,
I need to change master data of business consolidation directly in the quality system.
Anyone an idea?
Kind regards,
Marilia

Welcome to SDN.
There are SAP Notes 933024, 804057 and 592239 that provide a means of opening UCWB only for master data objects.
Another possible work around is to make the updates in BW and use the synchronization programs UGMDSYNC and UGMDSY20. However for FS Items and Cons Groups all of the master data elements such as breakdown category and period of first consolidation are not available for entry in BW so for these characteristics the maintenance must still be completed in UCWB.

The Time Limit Implementation SAP Business One Starter Package

Dear Expert,
I have read in portal SAP that SAP suggest to implement SAP Business One Starter Package with 2-10 days. Until day, i am not believe that it can do.
Can anyone give me reference about methodology implementation SAP Business One Starter Package for implementation 2-10 days ?
Thank's before to Expert who share me many experience.
Regards,
-Anggy-
Edited by: Anggi Rinaldy on Jun 23, 2011 5:08 AM

Hi Angy ,
This is not a situation to get worried about how much days it will take for starter Pack .
For a starter Package , it signifies the VANILA Implementation which is of-course possible in 2-10 days .
Even after 1 day of installation of the product with a standard SAP Chart of Account
And 4-5 Days of system initialization , you can definitely start making the Master and Start working on it.
Even if you need the more precise Answer, you should visit the below link , Which will Give you the Clear idea about the Time Consumption requires for SAP Implementation with Full Functionality.
BUT Always keep in mind that the Time may Vary as per your Requirement , which are different from SAP Standard Functionality.

SEM BCS - Consolidation Chart of Accounts

Hi all,
For the SEM-BCS implementation I am using ECC as the operational system. ECC folks are in the process of building a group chart of account in FI.
Can you suggests the work around to map group chart of account to consolidation chart of account in SEM-BCS?
Thanks in advance
RJ

I am not sure if anybody has replied you.
In SEM 4.0, You need to download the chart from R3 and then upload as hierrachy in the UCWB workbench.
In SEM.6.0, You have master data load direct from R3 and you can do the same.
Functional advice:-
Normally R3 creates operational chart of account in R3. Each account has a group account feild, if populated the mapping of operational chart to group is amintained in R3 itself.
You can upload the GL master with group chart account number and then this will obviously have the mapping for your use in BCS.
Consolidation chart of account in R3 (if its the accepted group chart) will be the same group chart which your ECC guys are preparing.
Are they using ECCS in R3??

Business Object Modeler Question

Hi Experts,
I'm new to CE and currently trying to figure out what can I do with it?
Assume that I'm planning to create an application to follow activities that our consultants doing.
For this, we're planning to use Local Portal Database to store datas.
When I checked, "Business Object Modeler" is a tool which helps to create business objects and generates tables behind and access services automatically.
Then generating a Web Service for this BO and then using the WS with VC and WD4J is a great asset for us.
But, my questions?
1. Is this a right approach for such scenario?
2. I've created a sample BO and generated WS and tried to use with VC. Create, Delete, Reand and Update Operations can be made available for WebService, but I'm unable to add FindAll or FindByMultiple Parameter operations to Web Service?
Any idea for Q1 and answer for Q2 will be appreciated.
Regards

Hi,
Yes, You have to arite the code.Actually, Application services are the place where you will wrtie your business logic.
In th application service operations you have to call the business object operations.
For architechturel guidelines you can go [through thii doc|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00caf8bd-487a-2a10-36a9-93d840309310].
answer to second question:
You can't change the code in the BO operations. What ever you want, you have to do it in the application servcies only.
Create an application service operation say:
operation(). Create a input/output data structures.
Exapmle: OperationResponce operation(OperationRequest).
Yuor lists add to the OperationRequest datatype. Similarly for OperationResponce also. In this case you don,t have any issues.Actually this is the standered for Web Services.
[This document|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0d97ec6-5de0-2a10-a5b3-b5926075566c], you can use as an example
