BW and SEM

Is SAP BW a must to use SAP SEM ?
Or can I use SAP SEM without having SAP BW installed ?
If yes, then I can conclude that data in SEM can come from other applications ? Or is this impossible ?
thnx!

Hello Nick,
SAP BW is Data Warehouse Whereas SAP SEM is used for Planning and Budgeting so If you can source the Planning Data from anywhere else than SAP BW then yes you can use SAP SEM without SAP BW This answers your second questions as well.
I think Data in SEM can be loaded directly as well Planned as well as actual But without any Datawarehouse I don't think it will be that beneficial and effective system.
Hope this helps.

Single Sign On and SEM

Hi Guys,
I have implemented the SSO for BW 3.5 and SEM 4.0 with Enterprise Portal 5.0. For BW work very well, but with SEM it is still asking the user and pass. The strange is if I execute first a BW report and next access SEM it work, but if i execute the SEM first, it doesn't.
Any help?
Regards,
I.

the form field names should be sap-user and sap-password for user id and pwd and you should also send the sap-client to direct to particular client and sap-language can be passed else system will take the default language

3) also can we use planning areas developed in bw-bps ???

Hello together,
BI-IP is under contruction and wil be replaced later instead of BW-BPS. For the mean time BW-BPS will exist parallel.
Further details see here: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b87271fb-0701-0010-00bd-b03502b8c011
This is the theorie. In the praxis there are big differences and BI-IP is in a "very eraly stage", you should have at least SP 10, better wait for 12 to able to have at least the most important functionalities in BI-IP.
e. g. you can not plan on hierarchy nodes (e. g. you dont have standard distribute function to distribute from # in a query). This is available from SP12. And so on....

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches after installing new software or apps.
If this does not work, set it up as new device, explained here:

If still no luck, get it serviced by Apple or visit an Authorized Apple Service Provider next to your place and let them have a look at your device.

MAP for Finished and Semi Finished goods

Dear Friends,
Please let me know;
1. If Finished and Semi finsihed goods are maintained with price indicator 'S' and all are inhouse production then SAP updata moving average price or these material or not ?
2. If SAP updata MAP for finished and semi-finished, later can we change map manually or not ? if yes How ?
3. Is there any way to stop updata of map by sap in case of finsihed and semifinished goods.
Actually according to my product costing variant, I dont need any price in map of FG and SFG. Kindly give me your expert openion on this issue.
Thanks
Ravi

Hi
1. If you maintain price control S for inhouse produced finished product also, system updates moving average price with resepect stock and value of production (may be period wise production cost may be varying). But this is statistical.
2. You can change price control from S to V if you require. You need to change first in material type and then change in material master.
3. If the value is getting updated also it will have no impact. In case of product cost variant also it will get updated.
Thanks

SEM-BCS - SAP Netweaver BI 7.0 and SEM-BW 600 -add on install issue

Dear BCS Consultants:
My client has installed NWeaver BI 7.0 and SEM BW 600 - add-on.
However, when I tried to access BCS, it says 'lock table overflow'.
Am I supposed to configure something before I access BCS or it is a Basis issue?
Is there any other support package to be installed?
Please guide me.
Thanks ins advance.
SAI2

Yes..This is a Basis Issue. I got the same error and the Basis resolved it.
Btw...Did you guys install SEM 6.0 on top of BI 7.0 right ?
Please confirm as my client basis is in confusion on this..
Thanks in advance,

CRM2007 upgrade with BI 7.0 and SEM 6.0

Scenario: We currently use Opportunity Planning on CRM 4.0, (with BI 3.5 and SEM 4.0). We are upgrading to CRM2007 using only the Sales "Account and Contact Management" and Sales "Lead and Opportunity Management" scenarios in this phase.
We know that upgrade to BI 7.0 is required to support Lead and Opportunity Management and that BI 7.0 will only work with the SEM 6.0 version. We are on ECC 5.0 and do not plan an upgrade to ECC 6.0 at this time.
Question: Can someone confirm 1) that SEM 6.0 is required with BI 7.0 and, 2) If required, can we upgrade to SEM 6.0 in conjunction with our BI upgrade versus as part of a larger upgrade to ECC 6.0 (which now includes the SEM 6.0 component)?
Thanks
Edited by: Rick Moore on Apr 10, 2008 1:17 AM

Hai,
2) We do have the SEM 4.0 addon in existing BI 3.5. Where can we get the media for the SEM 6.0 upgrade so we can upgrade with BI 7.0? We have only been able to locate it packaged with ECC 6.0 media. Can we obtain it separately?---> The media can be obtained from SAP itself or else you can download the same from SAP ServiceMarketplace.
The Upgrade CDs for BI 7.0 are Netweavers2004s CDs only,it contains all the required media for upgrade of both BI and SEM simultaneously.
3) Our ECC 5.0 does not contain any SEM component. I don't believe it is packaged with ECC until 6.0. Is that correct? Our BCS consolidation uses the SEM 4.0 component in our BI 3.5.------> We can get the SEM compoenet for ECC 5.0 also. The SEM can be more customized with BI or WAS700.
Thanks and Regards,

Sap and crm,sap and sem.

hi sap gurus,
I am in australia and searching for jobs in sap bw field.I came across a lot of situations like the clients want sap bw with strong knowledge in CRM AND also SAP BW with strong knowledge of SEM.But i have knowledge in sap bw,sd,mm.
can any body have any idea how the link works sap bw and crm and also sap bw and SEM.
please help me in this aspect.

Hi Narendra;
The other functionalities on SAP you have mentions are different tools developed by sap.
for example: SEM(Strategic Enterprise Mgt) also has different functionalities inside it like BPS, BCS, CPM..etc. Most probably they are referring to BPS because its a planning tool and from 3.5 version of BW onwards its integrated with BW boxes. You will be dealing with planning data..transactional cube.
try going: http://service.sap.com/sem
CRM(Customer Relationtionship Mgt) here you will be working with data to mange the relation of the customer in the industries...and they might have requirements that you need to bring the data from CRM to BW for reporting...http://service.sap.com/crm
Hope this helps.

Difference between WIP (work in progress) and Semi finished goods

what is the difference between WIP (work in progress) and Semi finished goods
and how to handle their valuation seperately in SAP.
pls help with some specific important inform on both   WIP   and semi f

Hello Sanjeev,
The difference between SFG and WIP is that ,
1 ) Valuation Class For SFG starts 7***   but WIP material stock starts with 3***
2 ) Stock / inventory of SFG can be seen at point of time but WIP is an Order item
3 ) We can find the stock of SFG at any point of time say it is having specific storage location But WIP is calculated from
    Order for which items are drawn .
4 ) Example You have to manufacture Product AAA which contains SFG1 , 2 , 3 which is made up of some component items
    once SFG 's made the inventory is updated during GR but the components lying in the shop floor required to complete the order
   so we want to know at any point of time how many these materials are lying and the same was issued against Order
   reservation to finish the balance Order Quantity is called WIP. You have confirmed only say 80 Pcs of FERT out of 100 Pcs
   remaining 20 Pcs needs to be confirmed and is being manufactured in the shop floor and the same is lying as WIP .
Material Consumption to Production Order:
In FI:
ROH consumption Account       Dr (PROFIT & LOSS ACCOUNT)
To ROH Inventory Account       Cr (BALANCE SHEET)
Same in the case with HALB
In CO: Cost of Material is
In CO: Cost of Material is debited to Production Order
   For WIP :
Calculation of WIP In FI:
      WIP Account                           Dr. (BALANCE SHEET)
To Change in WIP Account      Cr (PROFIT & LOSS ACCOUNT)
If the Order is completed:
In FI:
Change in WIP Account           Dr (PROFIT & LOSS ACCOUNT)
To WIP Account
Pl come back if you have any doubt,

Master Data synchronisation between BW and SEM BCS

Hi,
Can any one guide me how to synchronize data between BW and SEM BCS.
Master data like Cost centre, Segment, Profit centers and all other sub assignments are created in BW from source ystem i.e SAP.
Now when I upload data into BCS, i am facing errors l;ike master data doex not exists.
Currently I am Flexible upload for updating into BCS.
So pls suggest me hoe to proceed this approach in Production? IS there any synchronisation program which does this automatically from BW to BCS?
Regards,
Richard

Hi Scotsman,
The issue is, here we have created Sub Assignments, where the master data for these sub assignments will increase on daily basis.
Can say atleast 50 Sub assignmenrs are created as new master data, example: Customer is a sub assignment, but it is assigned only for few accounts, so taking sub ledgerlevel data inco is not an issue.
Now when transaction data is posted in to BCS, the sub assignments master data is created automatically.
Now the question is how to get the data in BW for the specific sub assignmnets into BCS.
Currently I planned to use the [program UCMDSYNC to do this.
Pls do suggest me if any other option available for me.
Thanks in Advance,
Richard

Payroll scheme - quarter and semi-annual payments

Hi.
I have the following questions concerning Payroll scheme I am working on.
How can I check the following conditions?
1. A wage type (WT) for quarter payment has not to be paid to a worker if he was hired during the last month of a quarter. For example, a worker was hired in September 01, 2011 - thus, in September a WT shouldn't be paid to him, 'cause September is the last month of a 3rd quarter.
2. Another WT for semi-annual payment has not to be payed to a worker if he has been hired during the last 2 months of a half year period. For example, the worker was hired in November 01, 2011 - thus, in November and December a WT for semi-annual payment shoudn't be paid to him.
Please, give me any tips to solve the issue, thank you.

rkvarma,
with which function will I be able to determine the months to start from?
I want to make the following:
- for quarter payments - to determine months 3, 6, 9, 12, and if employees were hired during these months, then the WT shouldn't be paid.
- for semi-annual payments - to determine months 5,6 and 11,12, and if employees were hired during these months, then the WT shouldn't be paid.
How to do this?

Integrated planning Content and SEM-BPS Content

Hi Experts
Is there any integrated planning Business Content for CRM? Where do I find it?
SEM-BPS has Business Content planning scenarios for CRM. Is this BC also available in BW-BPS now? Where do I find it?
We use NW04s BI and CRM 5.0.
Kind regards
Erik

Hello Erik,
as of now I have not heard of such content.
Also SAP is not talking about CRM-content for BIIP yet. What we have learned is that a lot effort is put into making the system stable and going for "additional" functionalities like BC later.
What you could do is use BW-Business Content for CRM as far as possible (InfoCubes etc. ) and build the Aggregation Levels, Queries & Templates by yourself.
Hope this helps
Daniel

Does somebody have some documentation/insight about the differences/improvements in SEM 6.0 regarding SEM 4.0?
Thanks in advance

Hi Sat,
Thanks for the link, but I've checked, and have not seen anything about the "6.0" version...
I've also checked on http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem60/helpdata/en/3a/c670373bbf0303e10000009b38f842/frameset.htm, well OK, but no improvement seems to be mentionned.

BW and SEM Compatibility in upgrades

Hello all,
We currently have BW 3.0B (BD) and a separate SEM system 3.1 (ED) on a separate system. Data is stored in transactional cubes on the BW environment (BD) and there is an RFC link between the two when planning and saving data occurs.
We plan to upgrade our BW system (BD) to 2004s this year but in the first instance we are just going to do so like for like, and to continue with the old functionality where possible, apart from engaging the BI Accelerator for performance reasons. For various reasons at this stage we do not wish to upgrade our SEM system (ED) or bring it into IP/BPS in the BW system and my question is whether or not we will still be able to converse between the systems in the way that we currently do?
Any thoughts would be gratefully received.

Hello Nick,
