BPC NW 7.5  Consolidation versions

Hi Experts,
Just wanted to konw the best practice for keeping Consolidation version .
My idea is to use A separate dimension called version.
Down the line if we have to change the old consolidated data  how can we handle it so that we can keep differetn versions of old and updated consolidation versions ??
REgards,

Hi Joseph,
The Starter Kit is always a must have in a consolidation project an even more in a IFRS consolidation project. Indeed, you will have to adjust the chart of account by adding your members because it can't be fitting any Chart of account out of the box. If these members have the right attributes/properties (the principle is to know what is the original SK account your account is the most similar to and copy/paste/rename), they will be dynamically taken in account in business rules, schedules, reports and scripts logic, allowing a minimum of work and a maximum of security in the implementation.
Don't hesitate to send me an e-mail for more information. I'll be glad to help a little.
Besides, for a day to day information about our activity, IFRS standards and XBRL here are the links to register to our Facebook  ("Like") and  Twitter ("Follow") pages

  • Delete user in BO Financial Consolidation version 7.0 (10.5.1)

    Hi...
    can someone please explain me how to delete an user in BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation version 7.0 (10.5.1)?
    If I select the user to be deleted, the option "Delete" (or through the menu "Edit - Delete") on the context menu is grey. I cannot select it...
    How can I enable the "delete" option?
    Or is there any other way to delete an user in this version?
    thanks

  • How can i stop BPC 7.0  MS + Sql version

    Hi Guys,i want stop BPC 7.0 MS +SQL version .but It doesn't have a console .so how can i stop it ??

    Hi there,
    Unfortunately there is no stop button for BPC but you can create a bat file to turn off all the services and associated COM+ objects:
    To do this create a bat file call ShutdownBPC.bat and put the following commands in it. This needs to be run on the BPC application server.
    iisreset /stop
    net stop OsoftSendGovernor
    net stop OSoftServiceManager
    taskkill /f /im dllhost.exe
    This will surely shutdown all running processes and will disallow users from getting into BPC until the you restart all those services.
    Also, you can create another bat file call StartupBPC.bat and put the following commands in it:
    iisreset /start
    net start OSoftServiceManager
    net start OsoftSendGovernor

  • BPC 7.0 NW Consolidation questions..

    Can someone share some information on following BPC consolidation issues..
    1..Currency translation difference in consolidation has to be posted to CTA ( Currency Translation Account) . Where to inform the system to post the CTA to the designated CTA account?
    2.Opening balanceloading BPC consolidation...
    For how many years it is normally loaded?  What is the ideal opening balance loading strategy in BPC. Is there any good document on this
    3.Security Administration in BPC..
    I am trying to read a good document on how to define users /security in the BPC 7NW . Can someone sent any document link or some good suggestion..

    hi Naveen,
    I saw you wrote knowledgeable about the Currency Conversion / Currency Translation table settings. We are using Currency Translation with destination account; and works fine with each run.
    The ONLY problem we are having / or miss understanding from incomplete BPC 7.0 Documentation is. Why is the Currency Translation Adjustment account not cleard before calculating the adjustment difference between accounts. ... Currently, every adjustment (triggered by every CC run) is added to the CTA account, on top of the last difference. So if you run the CC 10 times a day, the adjustment amount will be posted 10 times. even trhough the total of adjustment may not change during the day.
    This seems to be not the use which we need for our requirement, which is to point out the CTA at any given time on the spot. ... hence clearing the CTA before currency conversion, would at least bring the right result every time. (which is the opposit of the current outcome which ist Total CTA: Initial CTA + CTA + CTA + CTA + n x CTA ...)
    Any thoughts?  --- thanks a lot in advance, Max

  • Issue in loading Vendor Hierarchy in BPC 7.5 in NW version

    Hi Gurus,
    I am using BPC NW version 7.5.
    I am automating vendor master data for loading Ids in BPC dimension.
    My BI infoobject (0Vendor) has no Hierarchy.It has only Member ids.Business Requirement is to populate Hierarchy as Defaulf as ALLVENDOR.
    By using the DM in BPC i loaded Member ID sucessfully in the BPC Dimension.
    Please guide me with steps for populating Hierarchy as Default (ALLVENDORS) in the Parent1 column in BPC dimension.
    Thanks In advance.
    Mahesh

    Scott,
    Mapping the hierarchy in the transformation file via PARENTH1=*NEWCOL(ALLVENDORS) gives an error message 'Hierarchy is not allowed to be created by mapping PARENTH1'. So I think the only way of maintaining default PARENTH1 values - besides loading from a hierarchy - is to populate it via the Excel BPC dimension maintenance. Which can be cumbersome, specifically if a lot of new members get added frequently to a dimension and the dimension sheet each time needs to be manually updated. The only other way I can think of is to create an ENDROUTINE BADI for this which I am not sure if it allows to populate PARENTH1.

  • Set a variable in modify package - BPC 7.0 SP4 - Netweaver version

    Hi,
    can anyone tell me how to set a value (constant) for a variable in the modify package?
    In Import standard package I want to avoid to ask to user for a transformation file name:
    I want to substitute:
    PROMPT(TRANSFORMATION,%TRANSFORMATION%,"Transformation file:")
    TASK(/CPMB/CONVERT,TRANSFORMATIONFILEPATH,%TRANSFORMATION%)
    with something like:
    TASK(/CPMB/CONVERT,TRANSFORMATIONFILEPATH,\DATAMANAGER\TRANSFORMATIONFILES\import.xls)
    but when I execute the package i find an error that BPC does not find the XML file :
    "XML file (...TRANSFORMATIONFILES\IMPORT.TDM") is empty or is not found"
    Thank you
    Fabio

    You didn't validate the import.xls transformation file.
    When you are doing the validation it is created a file Import.Tdm and this it will be used after that.
    Because you didn't do the validation the Convert process type is looking about the file but is not able to find it.
    This was related to error message.
    Regarding how to setup the constant
    You can use INFO to define variable or constants for Modify Package.
    For example replace prompt with
    INFO (%MYTRANSFORMATIONFILE%, /DataManager/TransformationFiles//System Files/Import.xls)
    Of course the path has to be correct. In my case it is just an example.
    When you calll the TAsk
    TASK(/CPMB/CONVERT,TRANSFORMATIONFILEPATH,%TRANSFORMATION%)
    Using INFO you will not have that prompt message asking to input a file.
    I hope this it will help.

  • Re: BPC; Legal and Management Consolidation

    Hello,
    Would it be possible to have both legal and management consolidation with one Appset and two different Applications? One Application for legal consolidation and another for Management consolidation?
    Please share your inputs.
    Kind regards,
    RJ

    Hi Niranjan,
    Can we have both legal and management consolidation in one application ? If there are 2 applications, the processes and reports need to be maintained in 2 different applications.
    Is there a way to maintain in one application knowing the complexity involved in intercompany eliminations.
    Thank you,

  • RE: BPC 10.0 NW Consolidation of Investment (Multi-level)

    Hi Expert,
    I'm having difficulty in eliminating Holding Company's investment accounts and the Subsidiaries' share capital and retained earning  and computing the related minority interest, every time I process consolidation at higher level of consolidation group. Balances of sub consolidation group under consolidation group i'm consolidating are not being extracted/processed. Those being processed are those entities directed owned by the holding company...but not those indirectly owned. I believe that I correctly set-up the ownership manager, methods, method-based multipliers and elimination and adjustment rules. The only issue I can see here is that each entity/company code (data) from ECC only has 1 corresponding SCOPE (Conso Group). Please advise.

    I don't encounter any issue when running the SCOPE B. Transactional data are being extracted, investment and equity balances are eliminated and minority interest based from ownership are correctly calculated.
    But every time I run consolidation for SCOPE A, only transactional data for Entity A and Entity B are extracted, investment and equity are eliminated and minority interest are correctly calculated. The transactional data (equity balances) for Entity C are not extracted, at the same time no minority interest (45.25% = 100% - 54.75%) is computed for Entity C when running consolidation scope A.
    Please advise.
    Thank you,

  • BPC data load for consolidation..

    Once gone live.. how frequently is the data will be loaded for each month.. Is it on daily basis or only at the end of month loading.
    I understand that if the data is loaded only at the end of the month.. all errors will come only during monthend and will delay the consolidation process.

    Hi,
    Consolidation happens monthly and quarterly only.
    Consolidation normally happens at YTD figures ie Year to date figures.
    If you take the transaction data mid of the month and start doing execution your profit will show wrong figures and all eliminations may go wrong.
    You can plan your consolidation process after Closer of existing source system books for the particular month.

  • SAP BPC NW version with SAP Dashboard Design (No Local Connection)

    Dear ALL,
    I'm working on SAP BPC NW version 10.0 and I'm trying to build some dashboards on it using SAP Dashboard Design.
    So, I follow some links online and I failed to proceed at the very beginning stage:
    To create a "Local" connection in Excel EPM Add-in.
    From the drop down box for the available connection types, I can just see Planning and Consolidation versions for both MS and NW, but nothing called "Local" as referred in those web.
    Any ideas?

    Antony

    Hi Antony,
    Go through the SAP Note 1730125.
    Check the attached doc "SAP Business Planning and Consolidation 10.0, version for SAP NetWeaver" in the note
    for more details.

  • EC-CS, BPC, BOBJ Financial Consolidation Compare

    What major difference would be there between EPM solutions "BPC" and "Financial Consolidation" as far as consolidation goes? What added advantage do we get compared the original EC-CS in SAP?  How long will EC-CS can be used or supported by SAP?

    ECCS is supposed to out of active maintenance around 2009. But this was the news some time back. But one customer configured for go live in ECCS this November.2009.
    BOBJ concoliation will be merged with BPC landscape soon. This is pure business objects way of doing consolidation and SAP bought the BO and trying to merge it with BPC product.
    BPC is the wayforward for SAP...not only they are maintaining BPC's original format of outlooksoft with minor modification, in BPC7NW release they inegrated with BI/BW. In BPC 7.5/8 NW version they are going to integrate the BO fully to BPC.
    Hope this answers your questions Sridhar.

  • Consolidation in BPC 10

    Hi,
    does anyone know if in BPC 10 for a consolidation model I have to use a currency and a group type dimension? Or can I still use a currency type dimension only?
    Has anyone actually managed to get a consolidation up and running in BPC 10 at all?
    Thanks,
    Arnold
    Edited by: ArnoldWarhonowicz on Feb 2, 2012 9:03 AM - added second question

    Hi Arnold,
    I'm not sure. I know in the Netweaver version that this distinction is required in version 10.
    The EnvironmentShell Consolidation Model has the GROUPS/RPTCURRENCY in two different dimensions.
    You can try combining but I would keep them separate.
    Thanks,
