Average values in SAP BPC for MS 7.5

Hello!
I need to make a price list in SAP BPC for MS 7.5.
So the first question - What type of application should I choose?
And the main thing - How can I make average calculations?
I have made account dimension, which member list contains just "Price".
When I built an input shedule(goods against time), enter prices in some currency,
the total year value ist the sum of the values of months. But I need an average value.
How can I organise it?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Olga,
You statement doesnt provide any information on which type of application should be used.
This decision is based on other criterias. If you need to do any planning or management consolidation, then you can use the financial type application. If you want to do a legal consolidation, then you can use the consolidation type application. If you need to store just the supporting data required for planning, then you can use non-reporting type application (such as rate)
For displaying average at parent members, either you can write dimension formula in the time dimension for the account price. Otherwise, you can create a custom measure.
Hope this helps.

Ports in SAP BPC for MS Office (Excel, Word or PowerPoint).

Hello to all,
I'm trying to find what ports do I have to open to my firewall to let the customer in to the SAP BPC from the MS Office (Excel, Word or PowerPoint).
I've tried to find it, but I didn't fiond anything in the manuals.
Please I need help.
Thank you in advance.
Pablo Mortera.

You really need to go through the Master & Installation guide as Alwin pointed out. This guide will easily answer questions like this as well as the other question you have posted lately.
From the guide;
If your Application, Web, or Reporting Services server components will be
accessed through a firewall, you should verify with your network
administrator which TCP ports to choose during the installation of
OutlookSoft. By default, port 80 is the setting for standard http access,
and port 443 is the setting for https access. If you require a service to
listen on a different port, you can specify it during the installation program
in u2018Advanced Settings.u2019 See Standard and Advanced settings on page 18.
u2022 Make sure all required server ports are open, and there is communication
between the physical servers on which you are going to install the server
components.
All required ports must be opened for inbound/outbound traffic. By default,
OutlookSoft requires that Ports 80 (used by http) and 1443 (used by SQL
2000/2005), 2725 (used by OLAP 2000) and 2383 (used by OLAP 2005)
are open. For information on the required ports, see Server Manager Help.

Script logic to calculate average value on nodes - SAP BPC NW 10.0

Hi experts,
I need to have in the parent members of the dimension TIME (2014.Q1, 2014.Q2, 2014.Q3, 2014.Q4, 2014.TOTAL) the average value of their children and not the sum. For example :
2014.01 2014.02 2014.03 2014.Q1
1 2 3 2
2 = AVG(1, 2, 3)
I tried the script bellow but it doesn't work , it throws the error " ReferenceError : AVG is not defined"
*SELECT(%TIMESET%,"[ID]",TIME,"[CALC]='Y'")
*XDIM_MEMBERSET TIME = %TIMESET%
*XDIM_MEMBERSET MEASURES = PERIODIC
*WHEN DIM1
*IS C02
*WHEN TIME
*IS %TIMESET%
*REC(EXPRESSION = AVG(Descendants([%TIMESET%].CURRENTMEMBER)), TIME = %TIMESET%)
*ENDWHEN
*ENDWHEN
*COMMIT
How can I achieve this ?
Thanks
Maha

The best way is to enter 2 accounts: Productivity and Area, calculating by dimension member formula:
ProductivityPerHectare=IIF([Area]=0,NULL,[Productivity]/[Area])
If you have to enter ProductivityPerHectare and Area, then in script you can calculate Productivity:
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS Area
*REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%*[ACCOUNT].[ProductivityPerHectare],ACCOUNT=Productivity)
*ENDWHEN
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS ProductivityPerHectare //user input
*REC(EXPRESSION=%VALUE%*[ACCOUNT].[Area],ACCOUNT=Productivity)
*ENDWHEN
Then dimension member formula:
ProductivityPerHectareCalc=IIF([Area]=0,NULL,[Productivity]/[Area])
You can use arithmetic average of ProductivityPerHectare only if Area is always constant.
In this case you can create some dummy account member DUMMY and fill it with 1:
*WHEN ACCOUNT
*IS ProductivityPerHectare //user input
*REC(EXPRESSION=1,ACCOUNT=DUMMY)
*ENDWHEN
Then dimension member formula:
ProductivityPerHectareCalc=IIF([DUMMY]=0,NULL,[ProductivityPerHectare]/[DUMMY])

Installing SAP BPC 7.0 FOR MICROSOFT on VM (60 GB) Disk Space- Test

All,
We are on SAP BPC 5.0 Sp10 and we are planning to upgrade SAP BPC 7.0 Microsoft in next year. We have one VM server which has 60 GB Disk. We are wondering that can we install SAP BPC 7.0 on it.
As per SAP installation guide , it is clearly mentioned that we should have 200GB Space to install it. Installation guide talks about real time system since we are building up a test system for a small team which consists of only 6 people.
Any body have installed SAP BPC 7.0 Microsoft this way or Can any body verify it will installed and work successfully ?
Also share, what is the minimum disk space requirement to install SAP BPC 7.0 Microsoft.
Thanks,
Saquib Khan

SAquib,
Not sure where you are getting the 200 gig requirements, but on the Microsoft install guide, it states less than that. See section 3 of the install guide (check on your server requirements). I have attached the link for your convenience.
https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000552952009E/SAP_BPC_70_SP04_M_Install.pdf
As for minimum, I am not sure any qualified installer will quote you a number without going through all of the requirements.. Typically, they would assess the requirements and then come up with a "recommended" space amount and number of servers. This would factor into number of users, number of applications/appsets, data volume, page caching, planning or consolidations (or both), etc.
After sitting through a few 7.0 Microsoft installations, I think 60 gigs VM should be more than sufficient to be installed for "testing" purpose. As stated above, some folks have been use single server 20 gig vm partition for their "sandbox". Keep in mind that the performance will be a little bit slower than install on actual server so any bench mark that you're trying to assess may be a little bit off. In addition, when upgrading from 5.1 to 7.0M make sure to add the property "ISBEGINNING" with value of 10 to the Time Dimension.
As for deciding whether to go with NW or MS, I think the deciding factor would be data volume, and number dimensions that you would need to maintain on your appset, and desire to have integration with SAP components.

SAP BPC 10 NW loading data from Infoprovider (data value issue in BPC)

Hi Experts,
We are on SAP BPC 10 - 801 NW - SP05
We are having an error when loading data from infoprovider, we tested in DEV and QA and have similar behaviour: data values which are stored in infoprovider are loaded into BPC model with no differences.
However after make a transport procedure into PROD environment and then loading data into BPC Model something happens: suppose that 100,00 is a data value stored in a BW infoprovider, after loading data into BPC from this infoprovider, different data value is loaded into BPC. E.G 100,0 is in BW , but 10000,0 is store in BPC
Is there any idea to fix it or check it?
Thanks for your answer

Hi Giovanni,
This case occurs with colombian currency and others.
Compare the table TCURX in DEV, QA and PRD.
There must be an entry for currency COP only in PRD.
Like
CURRKEY CURRDEC
COP 0
Note 1240163 explain this behavior.
If you need the value to be stored in 100,00 format in BPC, you can create a routine to convert this value.

Analyzer Security for SAP BPC 7.5 SP6

Hi ,
We have recently installed Analyzer add-in on our excel for Adhoc reporting on SAP BPC 7.5 SP6
But analyzer is not considering the data security restricted for specific region.
For eg: If a planner is assinged to EUROPE planning role and when he creates reports using analyzer he is able to see the data for all the regions(NA,EMEA,ASIAPAC).
Is there anyway we can restrict the planners to see the data relevant to their role in Analyzer.
we had a look at security in Admin client. Is there anyway to handle this.Thanks much.
Regards,
Sanjeev

Hi,
You can use Bex analyzer for detailed reporting. Both the analyzer and BPC reports can be connected using the normal excel functionalities (in a single excel workbook) so that BPC CV selection will be fed into Bex as variables and relevant data records are displayed in Bex reports. Performance of Bex analyzer is slow. That is one of the main reason it was replaced with BO reporting tools.
If you are using BPC 7.5NW, then there is a standard functionality called DRILL THROUGH. Using this functionality you can drill down to detailed data in BW.
Bex and BPC have different authorizations. You can maintain authorizations in BW roles and try to manually replicate same authorizations in BPC (there is also a how-to doc on automating this synchronization).

Built-in templates for Legal Consolidation in SAP BPC

Hi guys
I am doing a demo for legal consolidation and was wondering if there are built-in input scehdules (templates) in SAP BPC to assign the consolidation methods to entities (to let the system know how an entity needs to be rolled up in a group)?
Also are there any input schedules (templates) to enter the Ownership % and Control % for various subsidiaries under a parent?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Ameya Kulkarni

I don't think any of the default applications come with pre-built input templates. The legal applications does come with a number of pre-configured business rules, but as far as pre-built input templates go none are available. That being said, it is pretty easy to build a simple input template using the dynamic templates that come with BPC. Starting with one of these you should be able to configure one of them for your demo without much trouble. Let me know if you need help with that.

Average value for waveform chart

Oesen,
When you are displaying data on a chart, the newest data is appears at the right of the previous data. When the chart history buffer is full (default length = 1024), adding a new point deletes the oldest point. Visually it appears that the data slides to the left as new data is added to the right end.
My question relates to how the user would "tell" the program what data to average. In the image you posted you marked a segment of the data to be averaged. Suppose the user marks point "A" as the beginning of the segment. While the user is deciding where to put mark "B" additional data is acquired and point "A" disappears because it is beyond the history length. What does the program do in such a case? A slight variation is the situation where both "A" and "B" have been marked but some of the data is deleted from the history before the averaging or other processing has begun.

Consolidation for SAP BPC

HI Gurus,
I have gone through the documentation provided by SAP for SAP BPC Admin document
which just talks about the various business rules available for consolidation.
Can someone o explain in brief the sequence steps that one needs to follow for consolidation? (e.g. First develop the dimensions - account, entity, etc., then application - finance, rate, ownership, then set up the consolidation rules, then methods, then automatic adjustment detail etc.)
Also it will be helpful if someone can actually describe the required properties in each dimension to perform consolidation?
(e.g. Account needs to have ElimAcc for Eliminations etc.)
Regards
kishan

Hi Kishan,
                 For consolidation if your working in BPCNW version,here are the requirements.
                  In general you have 3 applications...
                      1.Consolidation-For doing all the consolidation part
                      2.Rate----
For doing all the currency conversions and Elimainations
                      3.Ownership
                Here are the required dimensions dimensions....
                  C_Acct (A)
                  C_Category (C)
                  C_Datasrc (D)
                  Flow (S)
                  Group (R)
                  Entity (E)
                  Intco (I)
                 Time (T)
                 R_Acct (A)
                 InputCurrency(R)
                 Groups(R)
                 O_Acct (A)
these are the basic requirements for legal Consolidation.
The sequance of steps are 1.Load the master data(Dimensions)
                                       2.create the Applications.
                                       3.Load the Appset and Application Parameters.
                                       4.Customizing the Logic(We have the existing logic in BPC-BI use that Logic).
                                       5.Reports are based on your need.
If your an Finance background you should have known the steps to process the logic i.e sequence of steps.....if not reply me i will let you know..
Hope these helps you...
have a nice day......

Pre-Requisite for SAP BPC certification

Dear Gurus,
Hope you all are good. I am an ABAPER. I want to do SAP BPC certification. Can somebody tell what kind of functional and technical knowledge is required for this certification or to work in BPC. Some told me you need a strong FI/CO knowledge for tis certification some say you need BW technical knowledge for this. I will be highly appreciatibe if someone tells me the pre-requisites or basics in percentage. Can ABAPER moves toward BPC?
My second question is what is the job demand for SAP BPC?
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Saida,
Where did you get the information from that "you have to select in which version you need a certification, there may be 2 seperate test for those two" ???
Look at the link below for SAP BPC Certification C_EPMBPC_10.
https://training.sap.com/shop/certification/c_epmbpc_10-sap-certified-application-associate---sap-business-planning-and-consolidation-100-g/certification-details/
It clearly states that candidate needs to have knowledge on both versions -
It validates that the Associate Consultant has a good sound knowledge and understanding of SAP Business Planning and Consolidation in SAP Business Planning and Consolidation 10.0, version for SAP NetWeaver and SAP Business Planning and Consolidation 10.0, version for the Microsoft platform.
