Business Consolidation query

Hi experts,
I am BI consultant working on SEM-BCS .We have a requirement to get GL account level information in the consolidated queries.Is it a good option to add the GL account as well in BCS layout as I feel this would defy the entire idea of consolidation ? Since consolidation is across company codes it has only the group account and not the G/L accnt. Can you please suggest ?

Dear EXPERTS,
I am fresher in SEM-BCS. I have got the requirement for Business Consolidation.
Can ANy one help me out
1) For any Config Guide
2) Any Site link
3) any Training Manual.
Utterly in need of it
Thanks

Error While Installing the Business Content Query

Dear Friends,
We are in BI 7.0 and trying to install a business content query "Balance Sheets Profit and Loss Statement" but while activating we are getting the error that some Particular Request has not been found or not suitable. we checked for that request in SE09 and found that there is no such request existing in the system. So what could be the cause of the Error and what to do for successfully Installing the Query.
Thanks ..
Anurag

Are you assigning a new request or creating a new one? Try to assign to a new request if you are not doing so.
Thanks

Finding data in a datasource/ Business Content Query

Hello,
can you help me with this one -- background to this problem is shown below:
Question:
1.
No data was found in my infocube so I went o R3 to see if the datasource had any data in it by running rsa3 but found no datasource 2LIS_02_S012, although rsa5 shows that it exists. What could be happening?
2.
Also, how do I see the queries which come with the InfoCube? When I go into BEx, I see the dimensions to create my own queries, but where are the ones which comes with the Business content for me to use?
Background to Questions----
I was experimenting with an MM InfoCube 0PUR_C01, and my research indicated that the datasource which supplies this this infocube with data is 2LIS_02_S012. The notes on this datasource indicates it could be extracted as a standard extraction or LO. I did standard, rsa5, rsa6, etc...replicated in BW, etc.
I later created and InfoCube zpur_c01 and copied from 0pur_co1, etc. ...then later created and infopackage and loaded data into the InfoCube for the purposes of reporting.

Hi Caud,
To answer your first question.
- The datasource 2lis_02_s012 that you have seen in rsa5 is in the delivered version you need to transfer this into the active version. Select the datasource in rsa5 and click the transfer datasource button. After you have done this you will see the datasource in rsa6.
Also since this datasource is a Logistics Info Structure the LIS reporting should have been activated and in use.
For your second question
- If you have already identified a standard business content query that you want to use through the metadata repository, you can activate the report through the business content tab in rsa1.
Hope this helps.

Demetrius

Impact of only balances in local currency in business consolidation

Hi,
We are doing business consolidation based on classical GL
and extracting data for consolidation from GLT3 table.
In some cases we are not getting the transaction currency
amount for certain GL Accounts in GLT3, it is giving the same amount as Local Currency.
Is it a impact of tick only balances in local currency, if so
how do we go ahead correcting it.
Thanks in Advance
Phutane

Hi,
Remove the Tick mark 'Only Balance in Local Currency' in the master record.
This should solve the issue.

Business Content Query

Hi All,
I would like to know the importance of Business Content Query, Like:
1. why they are used?
2. What is the advantage of Business content query against a customized query for a Business content cube?
Any help would be appreciated.
regards
Praveen

Hi Samala,
For each Module we have Business content queries
for example : SD,MM,PM,PP etc For these we have business content queries.
We take SD as eaxample: SAP has given business content quries in SD, If the client satisfis with the Business content query, There is no need to create new query. We can use the same query.
If the client has some new requirement like adding 1 extra field to the business content report, at this time we need to customize the query.
Advantages of Business content : No need to create new query, Lot of time and manpower save

Change master data of business consolidation directly in the quality system

Dear All,
I need to change master data of business consolidation directly in the quality system.
Anyone an idea?
Kind regards,
Marilia

Welcome to SDN.
There are SAP Notes 933024, 804057 and 592239 that provide a means of opening UCWB only for master data objects.
Another possible work around is to make the updates in BW and use the synchronization programs UGMDSYNC and UGMDSY20. However for FS Items and Cons Groups all of the master data elements such as breakdown category and period of first consolidation are not available for entry in BW so for these characteristics the maintenance must still be completed in UCWB.

Business object query panel

hi all,
iam new to crystal reports.
can u guide me how to create query in business object query panel in crystal reports
using two table in universes.
Regards.
Vijender

If you already have the universe exported to server then create new connection in crystal and select universe and connect to server and select the universe from server. Once you select the universe it popsup query panel, here you can drag what all the fields that you want to display in crystal and also you can add filters in the query panel. Once you create the query add that query to crystal and run the report.

SEM-Business Consolidation starter question

Hi there,
It`s my first attempt in Business Consolidation, hence I`m trying to first create a Data Basis
I am referring to http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem40bw/helpdata/en/67/f7e73ac6e7ec28e10000000a114084/frameset.htm and it states that I need to first create the following :-
SEM_BCS_TOTALS
SEM_BCS_DOCS
SEM_BCS_INVDTA
SEM_BCS_SUPDTA
I have checked in my Business Content and it`s not there. Please advice if I need to custom create these InfoCube/Virtual InfoCube ?
Next question would be assignment of the followings :- What exactly do I input ?
InfoProvider for MultiCube reporting
InfoObject Catalog for Characteristics
InfoObject Catalog for Key Figure
Appreciate if someone can guide me through my first steps since I it`s my first time doing Business Consolidation.

Hi,
 I created a new Data Basis named Data_Basis_1.
 Selected 0BCS_C11 as Total Records Stream
 Hit 'Yes', when prompted for "Do you really want to generate the data basis?"
 Selected SEM_BCS_CHA01 as InfoObject Catalog for Characteristic and SEM_BCS_KYF01 as InfoObject Catalog for Key Figure
 and it worked magically!
 So, the next logical thing to do would be to assign the Source to the Data Basis created so far.
 According to the link below, the following needs to be done ...
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem40bw/helpdata/en/12/f35e32342c4bbd9b36bd18c0371c47/content.htm
 1. Create a source data basis. Enter system A as the RFC Destination. Then under InfoProvider enter your InfoCube with the planning data.
 2. Assign this new source data basis to your data basis.
 3. Create a Load from Data Stream method and select your system A as the RFC Destination and your InfoCube with the planning data as the InfoProvider. If the structure of the planning data does not match the corresponding fields of your data model, define suitable mapping rules.
 4. Execute the new method.
 My scenario here is SEM and BW both resides in the same box. There is a logical connection to SAP R/3 to SAP BW defined
 Please advice how do I proceed here onwards ?
 Appreciate your help, mate!

BUSINESS CONSOLIDATION SYSTEM

Hi Gurus...
Could you please send any document related to BCS (BUSINESS CONSOLIDATION SYSTEM )

HI. Sudheer
Business Consolidation (SEM-BCS)
The following sections contain the documentation on the BW-based component Business Consolidation.
The documentation on the R/3-based component Business Consolidation is located elsewhere. This documentation can be accessed, for example, by calling up Application Help in your R/3-based Business Consolidation system.
Purpose
You can use the SEM component Business Consolidation (Consolidation) to determine the resources of a group (or a similar enterprise or organizational unit), the claims by others to those resources, and the changes to those resources. Consolidation also provides the means for internal and external enterprise reporting.
You can consolidate on the basis of customer-defined consolidation units. Consolidation units can represent, for example, companies, plants, business areas, profit centers, and cost centers. You can also portray matrix organizations (for example, using a combination of companies and profit centers).
You can standardize the financial data reported by individual consolidation units to adhere to the accounting and valuation standards of the group. You then translate the standardized financial data from the various local currencies into the group currencies. Finally, you can eliminate the effects of group-internal relationships (for example, from interunit trade and services). Thus, you calculate the consolidated financial statements as if the group were a single entity.
You can use the analysis functions of SAP Strategic Enterprise Management (SEM) and those of SAP Business Information Warehouse (BW) to analyze and report on your consolidated financial statement data.
Integration
The Consolidation component provides functions to collect master data and individual financial statement data from data files from non-SAP systems as well as SAP systems.
All SEM components are based on BW. These are:
Business Consolidation (SEM-BCS)
Business Planning and Simulation (SEM-BPS)
Corporate Performance Monitor (SEM-CPM)
Stakeholder Relationship Management (SEM-SRM)
Business Information Collection (SEM-BIC)
The data processed by Consolidation is written to the BW system. There you can share the data between Consolidation and the other SEM components. For example, you can:
Collect SEM-BPS planning data for use as reported financial data in consolidation
Use consolidated actual data as the basis for further planning in SEM-BPS.
Features
Versions
You can use versions to execute parallel consolidations with different categories of data (for example, actual data, planning data, forecasting data), using different accounting principles (for example, US GAAP, IAS, German HGB), using different valuations, and/or for simulations.
Hierarchies
You can create hierarchies for almost all characteristics (for example, consolidation units and financial statement items), where some hierarchies have special, consolidation-specific properties.
Consolidation Charts of Accounts
The component enables you to use different charts of accounts for consolidation. For example, this allows you to generate several consolidated financial statements in parallel to accommodate different accounting principles.
Collection and Standardization of Reported Data
You can use online data entry or flexible upload to collect individual financial statement data and other consolidation-relevant data into the consolidation system.
You can post manual entries, for example, to standardize the reported data to meet the accounting and valuation requirements of the group.
Consolidation Tasks
You can automatically execute the following consolidation tasks:
Currency translation (which translates the financial data into the currency of the consolidation group)
Validation
Interunit eliminations (for example, for payables and receivables, revenue and expense, or investment income)
Elimination of interunit profit/loss in inventory
Consolidation of investments
Reclassification
Allocation
Balance carryforward
The automated postings are controlled by the task settings you define once beforehand in Customizing.
Reporting
After performing the consolidation tasks, you can use BW reports to analyze your data. SAP provides pre-defined BW business content (InfoCubes, queries, etc.) for this purpose.
You can use XBRL to create individual or consolidated financial statements.
Execution and Monitoring of the Consolidation Process
You use the consolidation monitor to execute the consolidation tasks and to monitor the entire consolidation process.
Constraints
The automated execution of the elimination of IU profit/loss in transferred assets is presently not available.
The automated execution of consolidation of investments presently only covers the purchase method with the activities first consolidation and subsequent consolidation.
You can use manual posting to perform the consolidation tasks that are not yet automated to meet the statutory requirements for creating consolidated financial statements.

Error in Business content Query

Hi,
we have activated the business content for General Ledger (New). We have successfully executed all data loads.
but, the standard query 0FIGL_V10_Q0001 which is activated, is not executing properly.
It throws up a message "Value '0' is invalid for property 'Ref. Characteristic' of element 'Balance Sheet Value'" and no data is displayed.
On analysis, we find that, for the calculated key figure Balance sheet value the Ref. characteristic in the Aggregation tab is set as [0]0.
Has anyone faced this issue before. could anyone help us to fix it?

Sainath

Hi,
Please apply the note 1015402 to resolve this issue.

Also check table RSRREPDIR if you can see it. If not, re-install the query from BI content again and try.
