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

Hope it helps

RFC Call - Retracting data from BI/BPS/SEM to ECC

Hello Gurus,
Since there is no standard retarctors available for SKF and New GL in BPS-SEM we developed a custom retractor.
We call a standard BAPI to post SKF and a BDC to post New G/L.
When we call the RFC function it asks for the user id and password to login into ECC system.
How to handle the SAP log on screen in the program.
Do we pass the userid and password through the ABAp program ?
Please let me know how to handle the logon screen in the foreground and also in the background.
Again this program will be executed in the background .
Thanks for your help guys

This is a duplicate post. Please close the other one.
You should be able to set up a RFC connection in SM59 with a generic userid and password embedded. Give the userid the authorizations to process this and not much else.

Advise needed with New Mac OS releases.

Hi,
I'm new to the Mac world, and having a lot of difficulty follow these posts to try and fix the many problems I have encountered since upgrading to SL. Is SL a typical release for Mac? It seems I should have waited for more fix releases, to be available before upgrading, but the conversion from my PC to my Macbook in July went so well and Leopard was operating flawlessly for my needs that I just went ahead and upgraded to SL.
What now, how long before Apple will fix all these problems. This is worse, at least, for me then when I upgraded from XP to Vista, which for a lot of PC users at the time was a disaster. I fell back to XP and and never returned to Vista. I eventualy bought my MacBook instead, and now I'm in a similar situation with no experience...
Because of my inexperience with the Mac system I'm afraid to try and fall back to Leopard and risk making my situation even worse. What if Time Machine fails to get back all my data
after Clean install of Leopard.
Any advise will be so much appreciated. With all the experience out there I'm trying to get a feeling of is it best to stay with SL a wait for the fixes, or chance going back to Leopard, until a stable better functioning version of SL is available. For a while there I thought all my computer problem were behind me as my Mac and leopard were working so reliably, and smoothly. I guess being an early adopter of any new OS is not a good thing unless there is some real need, which there was not in my case.

HI,
*"For a while there I thought all my computer problem were behind me as my Mac and leopard were working so reliably, and smoothly."*
It's difficult to help you if you don't tell us exactly what's happening.
Yes, Snow Leopard is an upgrade from Leopard. 10.5 to 10.6
One thing to keep in mind. If you download and install updates as they become available, they won't necessarily include the patches or fixes for problems you are encountering. The Software Update window will have the links available for the updates so you can read the documentation before installing.
This is the docs for the 10.6.1 update.

Advise needed on FICO certification..

Hello gurus of FICO
I need advise from you people on fico certification.
I have two years of experience of sap and have cleared CFA lvl1 this year.
I plan to do FICO certification.
I want to do the "associate certification of ERP financial 2005", as seen on sap education.
My questions are:-
1) Is it relevant certification for fico ("associate certification of ERP financial 2005)
2) What all are the material should I read to prepare for this exam, I have seen TFIN 50 and 51.
Is it enough?
Should the study done only from these two or should I also read cost accounting, managerial accounting...
3) Any place where I can get these two materials. I could not find it on SAP education.
4) An advice on the time and level of preparation required.
Please advice,
Thanks in advance.
Rishab Bucha

Hi Rishab
Congrats on your CFA level1
If your experience in SAP has been with an SAP Customer / Partner, and that too for 2 or more years, then you need to ask for permission from them to take your certification directly.
This will help you to avoid the training at the SAP Partners for almost one month and will save your cost too.
But if your experience is not adequate or appropriate as per SAP Certification guidelines, then you will have to compulsorily go through the training course at any SAP partners like Siemens or Genovate or BPCL (in India) and then take the certification.
I suggest you call any of these and sort your query about the course.
Now for your main questions -
1) Is it relevant certification for fico ("associate certification of ERP financial 2005)
Firstly it is not FI-CO anymore. It is either only FI or only CO. And yes, this is relevant. You will have to do this certification for making career into SAP FI
2) What all are the material should I read to prepare for this exam, I have seen TFIN 50 and 51. Is it enough?
Should the study done only from these two or should I also read cost accounting, managerial accounting...
There is nothing like TFIN51. It is TFIN50 and TFIN52. These materials are more than sufficient and you need not do anything else for your certification. Please go through these atleast 3-4 times before your examination.
3) Any place where I can get these two materials. I could not find it on SAP education.
You will not find this material onlne at SAP education. It is against the guidelines to provide copyrighted material links here. You will get the material at the SAP Partners when you register for the course there
4) An advice on the time and level of preparation required.
As I mentioned, the course duration is 1 month. And apart from that you should read the TFIN50 and TFIN52 books atleast 3-4 times before certification. The exam is all about how strong your SAP basics are.
Please refer to other threads too for more information about this.
All the best Rishab!!
Please close thread once query is solved.
Regards
Z

New to System Manager - Advise needed on my requirements

Hi there!
I am very new to System Manager 2012, so I am seeking advise on how to best start my project. I read the initial part of the Getting Started guide ( http://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn235548.aspx ), but System Manager is a big product so I need
to double check the direction I should take, based on my design requirements.
So here is what I am trying to achieve in two bullet points:
- I got my own monitoring system application that I can query via an API. The API is REST based (i.e. HTTP GET/POST operations) and I already wrote a Python script to query my API so I can export data and alerts from it.
- I'd like to integrate the data/alerts coming from my own monitoring application into the Microsoft System center.
Questions:
1) in the first page of the Getting Started guide, I can see I am offered the option to download several evaluation virtual hard disks (e.g. App Controller, Operation Manager, Service Manager, Orchestrator, Virtual Machine Manager). Not sure which one I
should use for what I am trying to achieve?
2) depending on the component picked in point (1), what's the best documentation link to start studying how the Microsoft application works, and how to integrate the data coming from my API?
3) is my Python script fine to run on the Microsoft Virtual Machine, in order to query my API and pass the data to the System Manager 2012?
Thanks in advance for your help, and looking forward to actively join your community!
Wally

The system center suite contains several products.
For monitoring purposes you should look into the Operations Manager product.
Have a look here for details on OpsMgr:

These forums are specifically for Configuration Manager.

Hard drive failed after update. Advise needed.

First the system hangs. Then it took a long time to boot up. Finally, after a few rounds, the question mark folder appeared on boot up.
I command r boot it. Sometimes it says disk has a hardware problem and smart status failing. Sometimes it is ok, but cannot erase last block on formatting. I tried to reinstall OS, but it couldn't find the disk for installing.
Is this really a hardware issue? I'm taking my mac to a reseller tomorrow. Should I be expecting to buy a new hard disk?
Appreciate any help or advise.
MacBook Pro 13" mid 2012.

If it's in warranty have it done at the Apple Store. If you are doing it yourself:
Install Mavericks, Lion, Mountain Lion on a New HDD/SDD
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

SAP BW Environment - What documentation is needed to support it?

I am currently working on an existing SAP BW system, but there is no documentation at all for it. We need to create appropriate documentation to enable easier understanding of the environment going forward.
However, what type of detailed documentation would be needed to fully support an SAP BW environment.
I assume we'd need to create the following types of documents...
- Architecture Overview
- Blueprint / Technical Spec
- Query Spec
- Authorisations & Security Document
...but have I missed anything??

Hi Mark,
It is also nice to maintain
- Naming Standards
- Landscape documnet
- Enhancement Strategy
- Reporting Strategy...
hope it helps....
Regards.

Report Specification Issue - Expert Advise Needed

Hi Guys,
This is for a "Expenditure & Performance" report in Plant Maintenance Area. This report allow users to run Expenditure, Production, Performance and Efficiency reporting and display the data in a variety of views.
Some basic info before I explain the Outstanding Issue:
KF Name: Personal Cost (Actual)
Comments:TPIK3 stores a grouping DOTPER, of G/L Accounts, not simply a
                 range for each Value Category
KF Name: Services Cost
R/3 Table/Field Name: TPIK3- KSTRF, KSTRT
Comments:TPIK3 stores the G/L Account ranges for each Value Category.
KF Name: Material Cost
R/3 Table/Field Name:TPIK3- KSTRF, KSTRT
Comments:TPIK3 stores the G/L Account ranges for each Value Category.
KF Name: Rented Equipment Cost
R/3 Table/Field Name: TPIK3- KSTRF, KSTRT
Comments:TPIK3 stores the G/L Account ranges for each Value Category.
KF Name: Departmental Equipment Cost
R/3 Table/Field Name: TPIK3- KSTRF, KSTRT
Comments:TPIK3 stores the G/L Account ranges for each Value Category.
The issue is, for the KF "Personal Cost"(Actual) & other Cost KF below, extracting a group of G/Ls presents a problem (not sure if we can link TPIK3 to group tables).
My question:
Can we set up one G/L Account hierarchy in R/3 and extract the hierarchy? .
We plan to recommend a G/L Acct hierarchy to resolve BW issues.
Please provide your suggestions & feedbacks to this outstanding issue.
Points will definetely be rewarded.
Thanks in advance,
Manjesh

Manjesh,
   You gave very good details. I didn't get exactly your problem.
   Some costs will post to some specific G/L Acconts or all these costs belongs to group of G/L Accounts. Then what exactly the problem you are facing.
Please let me know clealy. i don't think Hierarchy will solve your problem. Hierarchy will be helpful for presentation. probably we need to check in the Backend itself. check how these costs posted in SAP and Compare wiht Cubes.
All the best.

Nagesh Ganisetti.

Conditional Mandatory Field in Material Master (Sugg. Needed

Hi ,
I am having a requirement where i need to make a particular field to be mandatory for a certain condition in Material Master.
Say for a Product Hierarchy i want to make Volume Rebate Group mandatory ( Sales Org 2 View).
Please suggest the possible solutions for the same.
Thanks,
Rachita.

Hi,
It is possible to get access to all other fields from within a field exit by using the below code. This is a field exit on GMG_HEADER_FIELDS-grant_type within program SAPLBDT_GMGR but by using the code below you can get data stored in any field within the program. i.e. GMG_HEADER_FIELDS-GRANT_NBR
Field-symbols: <status>.
assign ('(SAPLBDT_GMGR)GMG_HEADER_FIELDS-GRANT_NBR') to <status>.
if SY-SUBRC = 0.
message e003(zr) with <status> .
******other code*****************
endif.
Reward points if found helpful....
Cheers,
Rakesh.
