BPC 7.0 NW

I have following questions..
Q1> In BPC 7.0 do we have to update the master data twice one in dimention and also in infoobject.
Or the infoobject master data is automatically updated the dimension.
Q2> What are the new features in BPC 7.0 NW version comparing BPC 5.1 version with regards to following :
Currency translation, Intercompany elimination, ownership cube calculation
Appreciate the answers,,

Hey Mani,
Q1) no, you do not have to load the M data twice, what NW 7.0 has is instead of DB (in case of 5.x) being the back end, NW is the back end and infoobjects are automatically created once you create the dimensions in the BPC and once you load the data using data manager in BPC it gets loaded into NW.
Q2) Sorry on this one....no clue..probably some other more experienced ppl can answer this...
Hope this helps..

How to use the RateEntity dimension in SAP BPC?

Hello everbody,
I am implementing a consolidation process using SAP BPC. I want to use the RateEntity dimension, to translate a same currency into different exchange rates depending on the company.
I want the company which ID is GFU (which is from Brazil) in LegalEntity dimension is converted using a special exchange rate. I have added a GFU member in RateEntity dimension, and I have entered the exchange rates for the member GFU and for the member Global in RateEntity dimension.
But the problem is that after I run the FX Restatement package, converted data for this company is not the proper one, because Global exchange rates have been used instead of GFU exchange rates. Does anybody know why? Do I have to do anything else?
Thank you very much for your time

Do you see the search functionality in the upper left of the screen?
Okay, now type in ecatt, press enter and in the next screen filter on blogs.

How to hide member Account dimension from BPC Administrator for Reporting

Hi experts, i need to hide some members of the Account dimension for reporting, because those members dont use it anymore, but i dont want delete them.
The question is: Does it exist any propierties for this dimension type that allows hiding members in reporting without set members in the BPC for Excel?
I can create a report which contain the members i want to show, but if any change occurs (client desire) the report is outdated.
Thank you in advance
Ignacio Vazquez

Ignacio,
There is no function like that.
You can choose below two options.
1. Create a property like 'NOUSE' and set a value 'Y' for unused member
When you create EVDRE report, set a filter against that property that has value 'N'
then those members will not be shown at the report.
2. Create 'NOUSE' parent member and put members under this parent member.
Maybe option 1 is more easier to do that.
I hope it will help you

Using a variable in an allocation routine in SAP BPC 7.5NW

Below is a very simple BPC allocation routine I wrote. The data originally sits on a dummy profit center and needs to be allocated to all itu2019s relevant profit centers. These relevant profit centers can be derived from the profit center hierarchy (BPC_ + ID of entity).
When I hardcode the Profitcenter and the entity, the routine works (as below). But what I really want is that it works variable as in the line that I commented out. Any idea whether this could work (BPC 7.5NW) ? If not, I am afraid I need to go to ABAP, which is really a pitty
//ALLOCATION PROCEDURE CONVERSION RATE
//=====================================
*RUNALLOCATION
*FACTOR=1
*DIM SEBACCOUNT WHAT=CONV_RATE; WHERE=<<<; USING=<<< ; TOTAL=<<<
//*DIM PROFCENT WHAT=DUMPC; WHERE=BAS(BPC_"%ENTITY_SET%");USING=<<<; TOTAL=<<<

Thanks

Gersh,
It works now. I have implemented the below code (ENTITY needed to contain the variable as well). The relationship profitcenter and entity is very important as it derives the relevant profitcenters from the profit center hierarchy (e.g. all profitcenters under the legalentity node).
//ALLOCATION PROCEDURE CONVERSION RATE
//=====================================
*FOR %ENT% = %ENTITY_SET%
*RUNALLOCATION
*FACTOR=1
*DIM SEBACCOUNT WHAT=CONV_RATE; WHERE=<<<; USING=<<< ; TOTAL=<<<

*DIM CATEGORY WHAT=FCSTCUR; WHERE=<<<; USING=<<< ; TOTAL=<<<
*DIM ENTITY WHAT=%ENT%; WHERE=<<<; USING=<<<; TOTAL=<<<
*ENDALLOCATION
*NEXT
Thanks

Error while creating a new Dimension/Model in BPC 10.0 NW

Hello Experts,
I am using BPC 10.0 NW system.
When I try to create new Dimensions or Models I get the following Error Message.
"Error in Admin module or a component used by Admin module.
Failed to create SAP NetWeaver BI InfoObject for dimension."
I am assigned to all the needed task profiles to create Dimensions and Models.
Please assist me to resolve this issue.

Thanks Roberto.
The error was coming because while creating the user id "SAP_ALL" Profile was not assigned. So I was not able to create Dimensions and models.
Now the issue is solved.

Hello Vadim,
Thanks for the reply.
I am able to process ACCOUNT_GL dimension.
Also, I am using standard TIME dimension.
I found that the virtual provider(created by using source of data for my model) too is showing the error, when I place above member formula.
I am attaching the error messae when I try to do list records in the virtual provider.
When I remove the member formula, everything is fine
Thanks

Can we enter data in multiple currencies in BPC

Hi all,
In BPC, is it possible to enter data in transaction currencies other than in local currency? For example, if the local currency of an entity is USD, but I need to enter data for the same Accounts in EUR, MYR and SGD as well and not have the system translate the amount in local currency to EUR, MYR and SGD.
Thanks.

Hi Tara,
Thanks for your response.
There are several reasons why we might need to enter the data in various currencies other than the local currency.
Firstly, like you have mentioned, we need to enter the local as well as the translated currency amounts for accounts that have to be translated at historical rates. Examples of such accounts will be equity account as you have pointed out. If I understand you correctly, you are saying that it is possible to enter an amount in translated currency in addition to entering the amount in local currency?
Secondly, due to requirements of a relatively new accounting standard, companies need to quantify the sensitivity of any exposures to a foreign currency to foreign exchange rates changes.
For example, the local currency Entity A is USD and it has a bank deposit in SGD 200. If the exchange rate at report date is USD 1 to SGD 2, the SGD bank deposit will be translated and reported as USD 100. Accounting standard requires the company to quantify how much the company will stand to gain or lose if the foreign exchange goes up by 10% or goes down by 10%.
Thirdly, accounting standard also dictates that company discloses exposures to all currencies for financial instruments not denominated in the functional currency of the entity.

BPC 7.5 Unable to add user

Hi All,
After installation of SAP BPC 7.5 for Netweaver I am facing an issue while adding a new user. I am getting the following error whenever I click on 'Add new user' in BPC:

Hi Abhik,
Have you verified that your Netweaver BPC (ABAP) component, .NET component, and client component are all on the same support package level? It sounds like your .NET/Web server might be on a different level than the ABAP component.

How to collect the BPC parameters into a transport

Hi All
We are in process of transporting out environment for the first time. How are we going to collect all the entries of the BPC parameters in a transport request.
I want to collect all the entries of the UJ0_PARAM_APP table to a transport request. is this we need to do or It has to be manually done when the system is installed in higher environments.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance
AK

Hi AK,
First of all, not all BPC parameters are transportable. Main reason is that they don't always have to have same value across the landscape. For example, you might want having LOG and STATS set to ON in Dev, but not in Prod. Another reason is that some of them will be generated during first write-back.
Most of the parameters are included in transport if you check Configuration check mark in BPC transport collection.
If you still have some parameters that didn't come over you can manually include them in the transport as Type "Table Entry".

Gersh

Reports from SAP BPC NW 7.5

Hi All,
Our Landscape:
SAP ECC EhP1
SAP BW 7.10
SAP BOBJ XI 3.1 (WebI/Crystal/Xcelsius)
SAP BPC NW 7.5
We are new to BPC. We would like to know where do we need to develope the reports on BPC data. Can some one help me on this. If some one have any best practices or options that where we can develope the reports, pls let me know
Like we can do reporting directly on BPC with only couple of reports from BW/BOBJ or all reports from BW/BOBJ.
Here we are planning to use BW as warehouse solution and BOBJ tools for reporitng on BW data.
Thanks,
Bala

Hi Bala,
BPC is a planning & a reporting tool. It can also be used for Consolidation. As mentioned in the previous reply, the data in BW has to be made available in BPC Application (cube) to be able to report it out.
You might need to create transformation files and conversions files between your BW cubes and the BPC cubes to realise the data transfer to BPC application (cube). Note, BPC cubes are automatically generated when you create an application from the BPC front end.
Please refer to some good introductory blogs available on SDN to get to know the BPC terminology and BW terms. Then BPC has an reporting tool in itself. You can create reporting using EVDRE for example which displays the data landed in BPC cubes. This typically will have actual data (loaded from BW), plan data (planned through Input Schedules or flat file data loads).
Hope this give some brief idea.
Thanks

Error loading data from BW to BPC with standard package

Hi experts,
A big part of our solution is pulling actuals from BW into BPC. To do so we use the standard SAP package "Load InfoProvider Selections" which calls the process chain /CPMB/LOAD_INFOPROV_UI.
We have migrated our environment to BPC 10 and tried to run this process and are now getting the following error:
“ Task name CONVERT:
No 1 Round:
An exception with the type CX_ST_MATCH_ELEMENT occurred, but
was neither handled locally, nor declared in a RAISING clause
System expected element 'Selections' ”
We have tested and this is happening with all data loading packages. It appears as though it is expecting a "selection" parameter, but selections have definitely been made. Has anyone encountered a similar issue or have any idea how to resolve it?
Best,
Chris
