BPC 10.1 Unified Model - Is it a must to have BEx query to create an input form/report?

Dear All,
Have a cube(Unified) created in BW 7.4.
To create an input form using that cube(unified), Is it mandatory that I need a BEx query for the input form/report?
i.e. To create an input form/report in BPC 10.1 Unified environment using a Unified model, is it a MUST to have a BEx query in place? Or, can I create an input form using 10.1 Unified model without BEx query using 10.1 Unified model?
Thank you!
Regards,
Peri

Hi Peri,
It doesn't matter what you include in the rows and what in columns or free characteristics: think of it as a sub-cube of the original cube. You are basically listing Dimensions you need in a group of you reports and can add new measures.
In BPC report you'll arrange them on the screen, format, protect, etc.
So, some of it is a repeat (not all tho), but for different purposes.
Hope this helps,
Gersh

  • Error while adding owner property in nw bpc 10.1 unified model

    Hi,
    currently we are working on NW BPC 10.1 unified model.
    while adding owner property in BW system for work status we are getting below error.
    "Characteristic owner is not mapped to any attributes in the SAP HANA model."
    Please suggest us where to add this owner property.

    Hi Gregor,
    Thanks for your reply.
    we applied that note.
    We have few doubts while creating work status and BPF.
    Our dimension is /ERP/COSTCNTR, so we have added ZPERF and ZREV attributes in ZCOSTCNTR and we have implemented BADI BADI_RSBPCB_SETUSER (enhancement spot RSBPCB_SETUSER).
    My doubt is while creating ZCOSTCNTR infoobject do I need to take a copy of /ERP/COSTCNTR? I am getting short dump while doing this.

  • Is there any alternative way to add Comments feature to BPC 10.1 Unified model?

    Dear All,
    I understand that BPC 10.1 Unified model does NOT support Comments. Is there any way we can add comments capability? Any help on this would be appreciated.
    I believe Comments are an important feature for both - Planning and Consolidation applications. There should be an alternative way to do this.
    Thanks.

    What version of CUCM are you using? Have you considered the free Informacast version that you get with 9+?

    I think this is working as designed... using the 'auto answer' as an intercom is kind of a fudge.

  • Issue with Work status in SAP BPC 10.1 Unified Model

    Hi Everyone,
    I am are tying to setup work status functionality in SAP BPC 10.1 Unifed Model. But I am not getting any dimesions to select in the Owner dimension dropdown in the BPC Web Admin.
    Is there any pre-requiste for setting up work status in Unified Model. Is there any document related to it? Any help would be greatly appriciated.
    Thanks in advance!
    Regards,
    Ramanathan

    Hi Ramanathan,
    Had the same problem when I began using 10.1 Embedded.
    In BW you need to identify which infobject will be used as the "Owner Dimension"  to control work status, access, etc.
    To this infobject you must add an attribute to contain the string (userid in BPC) of the owner.  The name of the infobject can be anything.
    I used 0ORGUNIT as the "Owner Dimension" control infobject and added attribue ZBPCOWNR.  I maintained ZBPCOWNR with the userid's.
    This is the value to be entered into Owner Property:
    HOWEVER, this will not be presented until the Owner Dimension contorlling infobject has a HIERARCHY!  The hierarchy must have at lease one leaf node.
    Once I added the attribute, maintained the attribute, and added the hierarchy I was presented with my choices in the dropdown boxes.

  • BPC 10.1 Unified vs Classic Model

    Dear BPC Friends
    Which are the benefits to implement the unified model to justify the additional cost due to the implementation of SAP Hana?
    If we decide to implement the unified model we could  have the possibilities immediately to implement the currency conversion and in the future the intercompany elimination using the business rule of consolidation?

  • BPC 10.1 - dump in unified model when I try to open System Reports

    Hi, we use BPC 10.1 unified and every time when try to use "System Reports" it dumps. I can select e.g. BPF Activity Report and Templates -> Template Verions -> Instances and finally "Display Report" but there is no result besides the endless loading screen. Is there a certain web Service that has to be activated first? Thx for any hint

  • BPC 10.1 Unified Environment

    Hello Experts,
    My client has some questions around unified environment.Please help me understand it better
    1) If we have a bpc model exactly same in classic environment and an unified environment,Will the model in unified environment be faster in performance.If yes then why so?
    2)How difficult will be to migrate the development from a classic environment to unified environment?Will it be a total new development or there is a migration tool?
    3)I understand that bpc script is replaced by fox script? Is the fox script ready to use or it will come in future?
    4) Will the foxscript be faster than bpc script?
    5) Will the reports run faster in unified environment?
    Thanks

    Hello All,
    Thanks for your inputs.Based on your comments and from other posts, I have noted down the Key Differences between BPC Classic and Unified Version.Please let me know in case I have missed something or needs any correction
    Criteria
    BPC Classic
    BPC Unified
    BPC Script
    BPC script would be running in Application server and so the performance would be less as compared to Unified Version
    Scripting would be in FOX script.This FOX script would run directly on Database Server and so the performance would be good
    Reporting
    Performance would be good as the data retrieval would be from HANA database
    Performance would be good as the data retrieval would be from HANA database
    BW IP
    You cant use BW IP functionality
    BPC Unified will incorporate most of the IP features
    Data for Underlying Models
    BPC Classic Environment has models which is not tightly integrated with BW
    BPC Unified Environment Models can have Actual and Plan data sitting in different cubes and tighly integrated with BW
    BW Master Data Access
    Not Possible
    Unified Version allows real time Data Access to Master data
    BW Query Access
    Not Possible
    It can access BW queries too
    HANA service Pack
    BW 7.40 SP5 requires HANA SP7, so HANA SP7 is required for BPC 10.1 as well.
    BW 7.40 SP5 requires HANA SP7, so HANA SP7 is required for BPC 10.1 as well.
    Software component CPMBPC required to be installed?
    CPMBPC( as well as HANABPC) is only need to be installed when BPC Classic is to be used
    BPC 10.1 Unified is to be used, install SAP_BW is already enough
    EPM add-in for BPC 10.1?
    EPM add-in 10.0 SP16 onwards
    EPM add-in 10.0 SP16 onwards
    Can BOBJ Analysis be used in front end office?
    No.Only EPM Addin
    EPM Addin or BOBJ AO as front end interface

  • SAP BPC 10 - Error on Refreshing Reports  Input Forms

    Hi all,
    We are working on an BPC 10 Consolidation project for the Netweaver Version.
    We setup the Environment, Dimensions, Models, etc. We created a few reports too using the Excel interface.
    These were tested and they worked well.
    However, then one day we started getting this message, whenever we opened any Report or Input Form -
    "The Report that was defined is invalid - at least one of the axis contains no members."
    We observed that this message appeared when there was no data available for EPM Context (Current View) given.
    In short -
    - The data is pulled out in the report, where for a CV there is data available.
    - However, if the CV is changed to something which has no data available, the report does not go blank (i.e. does not get refreshed) and it keeps showing the old figures.
    We tried opening reports in the SAP delivered IFRS Starter Kit too but got the same message.
    We are not able to locate what went wrong. Did we change any option by mistake.
    If anybody has faced this message and got it resolved or has an idea why this message might be appearing, please reply.
    Any help would be highly appreciated!
    Thanks!
    Rajneesh

    Hi Rajneesh,
    Check whether you have both the row-axis and column-axis of the input template through 'edit report'.
    Probably your input template has some member dimensions missing in your template.
    We have faced the same problem before and corrected it.
    This error occurs sometimes when we create a input template by clearing defining the row & column axis in the template but afterwards try some EPMOlapmember in any axis by deleting the original report elements.
    So check the input template once again. I think you will track the error.

    hungth

    Hi Hungh,
    If your are using BPC 10 with EPM add in client, you can use the function:
    EPMDimensionProperty ()
    This function retrieves the properties of a specified dimension in a specified cell range.

  • Input Form in BPC

    Hi,
    Can anyone Please guide how to use input forms in BPC NW 10.0 when the requirement is to fetch the data by selecting the dimension member
    from input form and on the basis of that all the other dimension members gets select automatically and fetches the data?

    Hi Natasha,
    Please elaborate you requirement.
    The general rule is to move the dimension for which you want to select single value  to page axis, and other dimensions for which you want details should be moved to row or column axis.

  • BW BPC 10 input form security

    Hi,
    i would like to ask you a question about BW BPC 10 input form security.
    I want to apply sequrity to input form for each BPC users.
    forexample i have 4 input form in BPC system, form A, form B, form C, form D.
    i want to give a access security to user1 only form A and form C  or  can i apply security to input form folder.
    is there any way  to do this issue.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Once you create teams in BPC security, assign some members to that team.
    Now, in your EPM addin, by default, the templates are usually stored in the COMPANY folder. While saving the templates, you will see the teams, on the left side, that you have created in BPC admin.
    Save the templates in one of these teams.
    Please note that you need to be part of the team in order to save the template.
    Hope this helps.

  • BPC as an accounting model in BI

    Hi experts:
    I am start hardly working on the BPC solution and I have a I huge question. BPC seems to be based on a accounting model. That means that the account is a crucial dimension. What if I would need to build a planning scenario for a analitic COPA, based on key figure model. In that case, I would have a infocube (loaded from SAP ERP - COPA) defined with no account and 100-120 key figures. Even in this way, I could have some performance problems because sometimes there are a lot of information.
    What's the correct model to define in BPC?I guess that  In BPC I should create the model with accounts and would have a account model where I would transform key figures into accounts. Then, we have some doubts:
    1- What about performance problems?
    2- What about creating quieries to compare both infocubes?
    I can imagine that it is not a solid model having actual data according to a key figure model and plannig according to account model data.
    I am not a BPC consultant as I am just starting to working on it. I am a SAP FICO consultant with wide experience on plannig is some knowledge in BPS and IP. Perhaps, I am not really understanding the global concept (I apologize wheather it is like that) but I would be grateful if you give your opinion about that issue.
    Thanks in advance for you help.

    Hi Sorin, at first glance, no problem to do it with MSTSC:
    with TSE 2003 on Windows 2003 SP2, publishing only iexplore.exe, everything seems to work fine and user only sees BPC applications (iexplore, bpc for excel, bpc admin...).
    (programs toggle of mstsc must contain this kind of information:
    - start the following program on connection: checked
    - Program path and file name: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE)
    mstsc release is 6.1.
