Issue in periodic budget transfer in FM BCS

Hi All,
We have implement FM BCS na dfacing issue in periodic budget transfers. Below is a example..
Uploaded Budget for A fund center and AA commitment item for all months of a FY 2012
Jan = 150
Feb =100
Mar =100
Ap =100
May =300
Jun =200
July = 200
Aug =200
Sep =200
Oct =100
Nov =100
Dec = 100
Now the total current budget for FY 2012 is 1850 eur
Now I want to transfer budget from this fund center "A" and commitment item "AA" to some other fund center and commitment item. I am using distribution key as "0" lets say for feb 2012. I am able to transfer more than EUR 100 where as in FEB month I have only EUR 100 and I should not be able to transfer more than this. We are working on Annual Budgets.
Please suggest on the same.
Regards

Hi,
Budget control in BCS is working on annual/multi-annual basis, i.e. there will be no control on monthly basis even if you enter your budget period by period. If you want to implement monthly control, you might use FM object 'Budget period' which is available as from 6.04 release. If you are in earlier release you can make a workaround with some unused FM object, e.g. Funded Program. This issue has been discussed several times on SDN, so please search for available material.

Eli

SEM BPS/BCS FOR BW

HI FRIENDS,
I HAVE KNOWLEDGE IN BW, I WOULD LIKE TO LEARN SEM-BPS AND BCS . I HAVE KNOWLEDGE IN SD PP AND MM . FOR SEM-BPS, BEC NEED ANY EXTRA KNOWLEDGE IN ANY OTHER MODULES, CAN I GET ANY SCREEN SHOTS MATERIAL FOR SEM- BPS AND BCS LIKE BOOK IS THER FOR BW STEP BY STEP, CAN I GET ANY BOOK FOR SEM -BPS AND BCS. PLE MAIL ME ASAP.
CAN ANY ONE SEND ME MATERIAL SEM-BPS AND BCS . TO MY ID
<removed>
Thanking u
suneel.

Hi Suneel,
If you are very good at BW, then obviously you can go ahead and learn BPS. As SEM is a planning tool within SAP and planning mainly involves financial planning. Its better if you are good at the processes of FI-CO before learning BPS, CPM and BCS.

COPA vs. BCS design decisions (ex. profitability by customer in BCS)

We are trying to meet a business goal of identifying gross profit by customer.
We realize "customer" as a field in BCS is problematic, so we are thinking of only storing certain customers in BCS with a catch-all "Others" customer - with the goal of keeping the BCS data volume reasonable.
Consider the scenario: US company sells material X qty 1 to Spain company for 100 with cost of 30 (therefore profit of 70)
Spain sells same material X qty 1 to third-party customer for 120.
Spain from a local perspective profits 20, however the group from an overall perspective profits 90 ( the US revenues of 100 eliminate against the Spain COGS of 100 so you are left with revenue of 120, COGS 30, profit 90 - from the group perspective ).
We want to know how to see, on a customer level, the 90 profit from these transactions.
We do not believe COPA can do this, can this may be accomplished in BCS?
If you do a "one-sided" elimination (elimination driven by the revenue side only) of the intercompany revenue the system would not be able to reference customer on the elimination. We are wondering if this scenario of analyzing overall profit by customer can be accomplished by BCS functionality and are particularly interested in knowing what functionality you used to accomplish this requirement and in what sequence within the BCS close (BCS monitor).
Thank you in advance for any input you may have.
Also we are interested in any opinions/comments anyone may have about design decisions regarding BCS vs. COPA in BW. BCS business content identifies a sample design for a BCS data model including item, company, movement type, trading partner, functional area, etc. COPA (as configured in R3/ECC and extracted to BW) commonly features analysis by customer, material, etc. Considering BCS features elimination functionality, what design concerns have people faced with respect to fields that they include in both reporting systems? Obviously a prominent concern is sizing of the systems, but what common characteristics has anyone decided to feature in both systems? What considerations drove the decisions as to what common characteristics to feature in both BCS and COPA?

Hi John,
Reg, your last question - might be useful info in here, if you have not seen it yet:

SEM-BCS how to make Consolidation Unit with Business Area

Hi all,
I am newbie in SEM-BCS and implementing BW-based BCS. Our situation is as follows.
Situation
- we have 7 companies worldwide and 4 different Business areas.
   Every company consists of at least two business areas in R/3.
- we have sales transaction in FI among companies.
requirement
- we need consolidated F/S in whole consolidation group and consolidated F/S in Business area level.
actually, we are planning to make the consolidation unit in company level.
Do we have to break down consolidation unit in business area? or just breakdown category solves our requirement?
If we have sales transaction even between business areas within certain company, do we have to make it in business area?

Following are the answer to your questions
Q:   What to do for using this cube in BCS?
A:    Add the business area to the cube. Generate the data basis and the business area gets added to all ODS/DSO , virtual cube.
Suggestion: To avoid deleting the Profit center cube, since you can reduce the complication.
Q:   Is it the problem about DATA BASIS Role?
A:   No. Assign the role of subassignment or consolidation unit as needed. If you are giving the role of consolidation unit to business area, you need to insert the char Partner business area also in the cube.
Q:   Is there some materials to solve this situation?
A:   Refer the matrix consolidation material in help.sap.com from BCS portion. As per SAP literature any relevant object can be made as second consolidation unit such as business area, functional area etc. Dont fear. Once you start it the issue will be resolved in few days.
Expected complication:
If you are going to make business area as subassignment then it is simple. But if you are making business area as Consolidation unit, go for partner business area in cube.
Ensure with your BI consultant that all BCS messages are addressed in BI infoobject for business area specifically.
Things can get complicated only if we allow for it get complicated. But you are doing great.. Keep posted.. Good luck.!!!..

BCS Documentation

Hi BCS Experts,
I am BW consultant with accounting background and would like to learn BCS.Could you please send me some good BCS documentation except SAP material. I completed the SAP BCS course excercises. I dont have the confidence to start working in BCS yet. Could you please also tell me that whether do we load in BCS Trial balance or Financial statements via flexible upload?
Thanks and regards,
Harry

Hi Harry,
1. The file format completely depends on the flexible upload method settings. As an exampe you can look at the structure of the fields and the file structure 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
For totals upload you just need to add:
- item
- amount in local currency
- amount in transaction currency
- transaction currency
- movement type (optional)
- company
- business partner
maybe some more analytical characteristics.
2. As I wrote before (in another thread), I didn't see any good step-by-step docs related to BCS customizing. There are a couple of files that somehow explain this process (but not very well). So, I may send them to you provided that I have your mail ID.
3. There are some notes related to overview, data basis and master data:
773178 - Overview of consulting notes in SEM
630474 - Consulting note - Data entry in SEM-BCS
638477 - Data basis-Data Streams - characteristics fixed in consArea

General Questions about SEM-BCS Data Transfer

Please help me guys ! I need a clearer picture as to how exactly the loading of data should be done to SAP SEM-Busines Consolidation
Q1) Can I specify the Basic Cubes in my Data Basis Streams that I use for FI & CO in BCS-Workbench ? Or do I need to switch these cubes to Transactional, so it can be used in SEM-BCS ?
Q2) or Do I have to export the data out of my FI & CO cubes in BW to a FLAT FILE, and then load the Flat File into custom Transactional Cubes ?
Q3) Usually, for SEM-BCS would there be any direct connection to SAP R/3 or it`s via BW ?
Please help me with these initial issues guys ! Very much appreciated!

Hi Eugene,
   Great man! You`re back!...Nice to hear from yourself
   Anyways, I still am struggling to understand the Intergration from SEM-BCS with BW and/or R/3. If you have any material that can help me understand the intergration would be helpful.
   So, I had a look into the SAP Note 689229
   It says, all changes of master data nad hierarchies have to be made via the application layer by means of application SEM-BCS :-
a) By Flexible Upload
b) Manually in Consolidation Workbench
c) In Subordinate systems from transports
Hence, am I correct to assume that the only 2 options are permitted: Option (a) Flat File (b) Manually define the master data in BCS-Workbench ?
    So, now assuming that I need to define Consolidation Items into SEM-BCS.
Because there's too many, I would go with option (b) Flat File.
So, I create a Flat File containing the Consolidation Items. Next, how do I get this loaded into BCS-Console ?
Do I have to create a Transactional Info Cube and then load this Consolidation Items Flat File into it? Then following from there, I specify this Transactional Info Cube in my Data Stream ? or
Is there a way, I can directly read the Flat File from SEM-BCS ?
I use the following Info Cubes as source to my Data Basis:-
                   <b>Data Target | Virtual InfoProvider</b>
TOTAL RECORDS =   0BCS_C50    |     0ECCS_C05
DOCUMENTS     =   0BCS_DS12   |     0BCS_VC12
   P/S: We don`t use the SAP R/3 ECCS Module

SEM BCS Faq's

Hi Friends,
I will have technical discussion on SEM BCS. Please send me the some useful material on SEM BCS and
please send me any FAQ's from interview presepevtive.I would appriceiate if any body respond to this post.
It would be very great helpful for me.
what are the impaortant areas we need to cover.
Please ahre ur vies on this.
Will assign the points.
Thanks in advance.

Hi SAPSEM,
From your past posting I understand you are good in BW. Hence know well the distinction between basic cube, transcational cube, virtual cube and what context it is used. You must know why the reporting is prepared on VC. Cover the BCS dataflow, data stream ,reporting, performance, consolidation area properties, method/task/document type. Try to know well the master data part of BCS well.
Good BCS literatures is available in service.sap.com, but most exhaustive one is help.sap.com.
Compliments

Balance scorecard material or documentation

Hi everybody,
I need material or documentation about the following topics:
- Platform required to have the Balance Scorecard. We have the ECC5.0 (ERP 2004) version and we haven't seen these tools (Which includes SAP_BW 3.5 component). If I'm not wrong the SAP module is SEM-CPM but I don't know what do we have to do to have it in our system.
- Steps required to build a Balance Scorecard from a system which only has installed the FI-CO modules.
Thanks in advance.
Ismael

Hi
The SEM BSC (Balanced scorecard ) is a BW add -in. The SEM BSC exists as a componernt on a BW datawarehouse.
So ask you basis about your BW installation.
After a Bw installation you could install and populate the standard business content ( infocubes, extractor,s etc) that are going to populate your SEM BCS balance scorecard environment.
THe BSC are basically a type of view on BW KPI - technically Key figures...
Check this useful link on the SAP Balanced Scorecard implementation process
www.uky.edu/Assessment/Docs/UK_SEM_CPM_demo_LSI.ppt
Hope it helps

We are facing problem in BCS activity for Break Entries of Accounts

Hi All,
We are facing problem in BCS activity for Break Entries of Accounts.
We are using 0FI_GL_6 Datasource which do not have Transaction Type field in it.
After Extracting data from the datasource (0FI_GL_6), we get GL Account Closing balances for the period, but we require the transaction types for Assets related accounts for the BCS activity.
Currently We upload the Asstes Data through External Flat files in BI.
Can we have these data comming direcltly form R/3 with the Transaction type Field.
We are on R/3 SAP ECC 6.0 support patch 15 and on BI we are on BI 7.0 with support Patch SAPKW70020 and SEM-BW SAPKGS6014 , BI_CONT - 0012
Can we use GLT3 table, if yes please suggest the steps to Fill the data in this table. Or is there any other table and way.
Thanks in advance,
Nilesh Labde

Is the conversion factor is same for BT UOM qty to CS is same ?.It seems BT is sales unit and the picking unit for the item is CS.If the conversion is same warehouse pick correct qty.Therte should not be an issue.
What is the UOM in delivery ?.Is it BT or CS.I think it is CS right ?.If you want to see sales unit is cs then you need to change the material master.
