Balance carryforward in SAP SEM BCS
Consilidation begins by carrying forward the data of the prior year.
But what is the reason for this ?
Hi Nick,
Many operations in consolidation are carrying out on cumulative basis, i.e. we need to know balances on the year beginning. That's why we need to carryforward as the first operation. Carryforward places the balances in 00 period.

Eugene

SAP SEM-BCS demo or practical scenario
Hi!
I have first experience working with SAP BI and have implemented several BI demo scenarios in SAP BI 7.0.
Now I would like to implement a SEM-BCS scenario.
I have a SAP ERP 2005 IDES system and SAP NetWeaver BI 7.0 system.
Can some one recommend how to getting started in this area?
- SDN blogs
- SAP courses
- other suitable documentations
Any helpful informatio will be very appreciated and awarded by points
Thank youI concur with Dan.
Additionally, you may use sap help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem60ep1/helpdata/en/62/f7e73ac6e7ec28e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
Though, without a practice in the system I doubt that it we'll be helpful.
Some blogs. Actually, for beginners, one that I know is here:
/people/sap.user72/blog/2006/07/21/how-to-upload-hierarchy-and-master-data-of-fs-items-in-sap-sem-bcs-40-by-using-flexible-upload-method
I didn't see any good documentation (books nincluded) yet.
And certainly the forums dedicated to consolidation. One within the active ones is that were you are now. -
Cartesis Vs SEM BCS Advantages / Disadvantages
Experts
Can somebody guide me, with advantages and disadvantages of implementing Cartesis Vs SEM BCS solution in major business scenarios ?
e.g Comparitive study of these two tools on diffrent business aspects.This question keeps popping up - doesn't anyone use the 'search' function? - so I'll repeat what I posted, paraphrasing a discussion with a SAP sales director in Australia:
Re: Cartesis solution in SAP portfolio
SAP SEM-BCS is supported until 2013.
but SAP now owns 3 consolidation tools, each is currently valid.
- BCS,
- BPC (from Outlooksoft) and
- Cartesis (from Business Objects) all perform consolidation,
Each has its pros and cons;
- BCS - very good consolidation engine but not so user-friendly.
- BPC - user-friendly but not so good consolidation, also has a non-SAP layout.
- Cartesis - better consolidation engine than BPC but not as good as BCS. More user-friendy than BCS but not as good as BPC, again non-SAP layout.
Although each is currently valid, there will be a combination of the best of all 3 in a new product with a SAP layout (or the same new product will be combined into a new release under the name of an existing product) at a date to be determined. -

SAP - BPC (balance carryforward)
Hi all,
I have a question about SAP u2013 BPC.
How are the balance carryforward executed and is the document inversion automatic as in SEM-BCS?
The question is, when I enter in SAP u2013 BPC at 001.2009 will I have the balance carryforward from 2008 automatically? Or do I have to do something extra?
And is the document inversion automatic?
Thanks for your help.
Best regardsHi,
this is not the place for SAP BO PC.
Please check the BO forum.
There is a howto : "How To Build the Carry Forward and Account Transformation Business Rules".

How SEM BCS handled balance carried forward?
Hi,
I would like to find out how SEM BCS handled balance carried forward?
Income statement
Profit after Tax - 50
Balance Sheet
Retained profit (last year) - 100
Current Year profit - 50
How do i configurate 'Profit after Tax' = 'Current Year profit' in workbench? Is BCS going to store the computed results?
Balance items (ie 'Retained profit (last year)' and 'Current Year profit') by default are carry forward to next year in BCS.
Do i need to configurate 'Current Year profit' add to 'Retained profit (last year)'?
Pls advise.
Thanks.
Regards, ReneeHi Renee,
By default, the balance sheet items are to be carried forward to next year. If you dont make any settings, both items, Retained profit (last year) and Current Year profit will be transferred to themselves, that is not correct.
You need to show the system which items are to be carried forward not to themselves.
To force the system to make the proper transfer, in UCWB go to Consolidation Functions -> Balance Carryforward -> Items to be Carried Forward.
Enter there the following information:
<b>Orig. Item__________Debit Item_______Credit Item</b>
Current Year profit____RE (last year)_____RE (last year)
Do the similar operation for all items to be carried to other than themselves items, for example dividends of the current and last years etc.
Hope this helps. -
SEM-BCS Statistical FS Items (Statistical: Balance and Statistical: Flow)
Hi,
SEM-BCS 4.0 and SEM-BCS 6.0 both have 2 types of Statistical FS Item (Financial Statement item); "Statistical: Balance" and "Statistical: Flow".
I note that these are treated differently, e.g. in Balance Carryforward task, Statistical: Balance are carried forward automatically while Statistical: Flow are not.
My question is, what is the difference between these statistical item types?
And what are they (or could they be) used for?Hi,
I'll try to explain you like the following:
Balance is a value that is derived from beginning balance plus movement. Flow is the movement itself.
Trial balance is an example of balance, while movement type is an example of flow.
When you do balance carry forward, system add all the flow type that you define to make a balance, and carry forward the balance only.
Hope it helps.

Difference between SAP BPC & SEM BCS
Hi Gurus,
What is the difference between SAP BPC & SEM BCS And throw some light on both?
Thanks in Advance,
Sandy.Hi Sandy,
The functionality in BPC mainly 1) Planning 2) Consolidation
1) Planning : You can have any type planning scenario. Ex.: Sales planning. Based on the actual previous data
we will have some projection reports on the sales for future sales, so we can have planning scenario here . We can change
the projections as per our requirement for any number of times.
Ex 2: HR Planning. Based on the market condition we have recruitment planning, based on the actual data (Existing Emp.)
Ex 3: Accounts Expenditure planning like this we can have planning forecastings.
2) Consolidations : We can consolidate the group company, companies with currency translations, allocations, Inter Unit
eliminations, consolidated P&L accounts & Consolidated Balance Sheets are possible in this.
But where as in BCS you can do only 2 part. The first part is not possible. Hence I personally suggest you to learn BPC NW
it will be more useful. BPC is now going to integrated with BO (Buss. Objects) also from 7.5 ver onwards.
I hope this may help you.

SAP BPC Consolidations vs SEM-BCS
Hi all,
Has anyone compared the features/functionalities of SAP BPC Consolidation with SEM-BCS consolidation? What are the advantages of BPC Consolidation over SEM-BCS, and vice-versa? For a brand new implementation, what is the preferred tool?
Thanks,
Sujoy BanerjeeHi Sujoy,
In general if you are starting out with a new implementation, BPC is the recommended solution for several reasons:
1) It's a unified solution offering both Consolidations and Planning
2) It's designed to be owned and managed by business users, not IT
3) It's integrated with the Enterprise Performance Management for Finance suite, which also includes profitability and strategy management
If however you need support for complex consolidation scenarios, such as legal consolidations, you may want to consider BCS.
You should be able to find several documents comparing the two solutions if you go the Support Center (https://websmp104.sap-ag.de/support) and do a document search on BPC vs. BCS.
Hope this helps.

Differences between SEM BCS and SAP BPC
Hello All,
Can you please let me know the differences between SEM BCS and SAP BPC. What I know is SEM BCS is an SAP product for Financial Consolidation (Legal and Management). SAP BPC is the new product taken over from Outlooksoft. It also features the consolidationa and planning functionalities. Can you please suggest which is a better product.
Regards
VikramThere is nothing like better or worse product.
BCS has some strong features like consolidation monitor, investment consolidation and for most consolidation functions, configuration is very easy. In BPC, you may have to write scripts.
BCS has BW as the backbone where for BPC 5.1 there is none. Howveer, in BPC 7.0, the BPC will rest on BI and things will be much better.

SEM-BCS on SAP-BW master data alignment
We are implementing SEM-BCS rel 3.2 on SAP-BW 3.2
In the SEM infoproviders some standard BW info-objects are used such as 0CO_AREA, 0COMPANY etc.
These info objects are also used in BW infoproviders.
In SEM-BCS the masterdata that is already available in these infoobjects is not visible. The documentation describes that the SEM system is leading concerning the master data.
When we create masterdata in SEM for these infoobjects, with te same key as used in BW (the same company number), it creates new records in the BW masterdata table and so deleting the attribute values in the BW tables.
Note 689229 describes some synchronization programs that can be used to synchronize master data from SEM into BW. It is also possible to use these programs to initially synchronize the BW masterdata to SEM so you don't have to create the master data in SEM but only have to enhance it.
Has anyone have experience with this issue and can you provide me with information what to do and what not to do.
Thanks, Wil Heijmans
Trespa InternationalHi Wil,
it's right you'll have to synchronize the master data. When we implemented SEM-BCS 3.1 we had some problems with the reports so we used the following routine.
1. Upload attributes into SEM-BCS.
2. Put them into the hierarchies if needed.
3. Synchronize attributes to BW.
4. Do attribute change run in BW.
Synchronizing hierarchies was a bit painful so we decided to use different hierarchies (it helped at some other points too because we needed additional features in BW hierarchies like other InfoObjects).
Synchronizing BW attributes into SEM-BCS attributes was even worse because the standard BCS attributes could not be filled this way.
We worked on early SEM 3.1 as one of the ramp-up customers. The programs may have changed in the meantime but the one above has worked for us.
Best regards

New SAP-BI Architecture on top of SEM-BCS/BPS
Hello - my company currently has SEM-BCS/BPS up and running within SAP-BI for about 4 years now. We are now going to build additional architecture in SAP-BI. For instance, we are developing a FI-GL Cube, a SD Cube, and a PS Cube (i.e. along with the corresponding DSO's and DataSources). My concern is will this have a negative impact on our already established SEM-BCS/BPS platform?
Of course, if with setting up the new applications you use the same infoobjects that were already used (adding master data or even change their properties), you'll certainly interfere with the old apps.
Reg. MD sync - try to use searching in the forum. The key word - UGMDSYNC. It was discussed many times. -
Hello BCS Gurus! I have problem with "Balance carryforwarding" in BCS. Can anybody help.
1) I load data last month of prior year
2) When I carryforward balance from prior year (ex. 2006) not all items carryforwarding to 2007Thanks Eugene for replying, i checked the items all they are balance sheet type. I load to BCS some information for example in 1-st period of fiscal year with item "X" which did not carryedforward before. After I do task "balance carryforward" the task is succesfull by the item "X".
(Может я не понятно выразился на английском, я напишу на русском: да я перепроверил типы позиции(счета), счета по которым не прошел перенос сальдо имеют тип "Баланс". После закачки данных по счету по которому не перенеслось сальдо к примеру на 1 период настоящего года и после как я повторил запуск мероприятия "Перенос сальдо" по этим счетам сальдо переноситься.) -
Hi Experts
have you worked with ERP 6.0 and SEM BCS into the ERP?
in ERP 6.0 all SEM components like BCS, BPS, CPM are in the same system as "add on" or I dont Know, is posible to work with this componentes from ERP?
I think is necessary install SEM BW and plug ins, I will apreciate your comments about this..
Thanks in advanceI realize that this is a BCS SEM forum and I do believe that OLAP is a better technology than OLTP for consolidation functionality, but there are "equivalent" BCS transactions in ECC as well. UCMON is "roughly" CX20. The consolidation menu is CX00(N) and customization is CX01(N). Both have been visible directly after entering "/n" in OK Code input field.
For more go to menu CX000 (nonCX transactions may not work due to reasons mentined earlier in the thread):
