Consolidation IN BPC7.0 NW version

Hi All,
I am working on BPC7.0NW version with Legal Consolidation.
   My Scenario is so simple that I got from SDNu2026
Following steps outlines how consolidation environment should be set
1.Consolidation (Legal) AppSet creation/Parameters setting
2.Master Data (Dimensions) Set-up----Which I have done by taking some sample data sitting with my frd u2026(we are new to this type of preparing some sample master data)
3.Application creation/Parameters settingu2014Done as given in SDN Scenario
4.Table Driven ABAP Program Maintaining (Data Manager Packages, Scripts Logic, Business Rules)
5.Rate Data and Ownership Data Update
6.    Work Status Setting
7.     Journal Template and validation setting
But I am facing lots of problems from 4-Step from DM(where he hasu2019t specified the steps for how to do the consolidation from step by step and basic order to do consolidation like FX Restatement,ICELIM and so onu2026what is the criteria shold I use these functios and how u2026)
And Basically iam From ABAP domain and donu2019t know much abot scripts and functionality used in Consolidation..
How business rules are useful in Consolidation..
These are my primary steps and prb facingu2019s..How to come over these Prbs and any detaild scenario is there with any body and worked with itu2026
Please give me any docu2019s and data related to thisu2026u2026
Waiting Egarly and anxiously for relpy ASAPu2026.

Naresh.K

hello Ravi,
Thanks for your reply.
I'm not very clear with your point. you mean we dont need to set time dimension in either row or colomn of the report? this will automatically aggregate all the value from history time to the date which selected in the CV(current view)?

SAP BO Planning and Consolidation for Banking In Version 10

Hello All.
Is there a version of SAP BO Planning and Consolidation for Banking, for version 10?
Thanks

Hi There
The current available version is SBOP PLANNING & CONSOLIDATION FOR BANKING 1.2, which is built on top of BPC 7.5
BPC 10 has only recently gone GA, so at the current moment there is nothing for version 10, it should come soon hopefully.
It should coincide with the release of the starter kits for version 10
Hope this helps
Kind Regards

SEM:BCS - Copying Consolidated data from one version to another

Hi,
We have a situation where we do Consolidation of Forecast data. However this involves mixing Actuals data. For eg.
1) Q3 forecast would contain Q1 and Q2 as Actuals and Q3 and Q4 as Forecast
2) System has already done the consolidation for Q1 and Q2 lets say in version 0
3) Forecast is a different version eg. F1.
4) I want to be able to copy the Consolidated data of Q1 and Q2 from version 0 to version F1. Then load the data for Q3 and Q4 for forecast and perform consolidations for Q3 and Q4.
What I have seen in the system is -
a) You can copy only the non-consolidated data from one version to another and not for eg. Elimination entries etc.
b) This means that I have to perform consolidations in version F1 for quarters Q1 and Q2 again even though its already been done in the Actuals version (0).
c) Is there any way out of this. There is always the possibility that the consolidated data in Q1 and Q2 does not match between Actuals (version 0) and Forecast (F1)

Hi,
We had the same issue. In your solution you'll have to delete old (Q1 and Q2) forecast data and replace them by actuals. It's too problematic.
And you are absolutely right about possible inconsistency between actual and forecast data.
So, we've chosen another way.
We make separate consolidation in actual, budget, plan and forecast versions.
In plan and forecast we everything that is possible do periodically (including currency translation) -- to avoid the possible influence of historical data.
In a BEx query (and Excel workbook) level we retrive: N months of fact, forecast data for N1 month and a plan data for N2 month. After summing up all figures we have predicted (name it as forecast) data for N+2 months.
Of course, the actual, forcast and plan components are hidden in a report.
This is possible because, in plan and forecast we use turnovers (not balances) only. Even a balance sheet is produced without problems, not talking about P&L and Cash Flow.
Hope it helps.

How to setup consolidation environment in BPC 7.0MS SP05

Hi I am completely new to the MS version of BPC7.0.
We have to implement the Consolidations for our client. I would like to know how can we setup consolidations environemnt in BPC7.0MS. I have a document on the same for NW7.0. Could you guys have anyinformation on the Consolidations on BPC7.0MS version
What are the considerations to take before working on consolidations using MS7.0BPC.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
The first step in setting up a legal consolidation application set is to ensure the dimensions are set up properly. Each application must contain some required dimensions, while some other dimensions are optional.
The dimensions discussed here are based on the standards used in the business rules. Other dimensions can co-exist in a reporting application but do not impact the business rule function. All applications must contain the four required ENTITY, CATEGORY, TIME and ACCOUNT dimensions (but can be named as desired). The remaining dimensions have the following rules:
u2022 The CURRENCY/GROUP dimension is required for the consolidation and/or currency business rules
u2022 The INTCO dimension used for matching inter-company activity
u2022 The DATASRC dimension is required for elimination and/or consolidation business rules
u2022 The SUBTABLE (flow) dimension is optional, and based on your requirements
You can also choose to set up the following business rules tables for consolidation:
u2022 Currency conversion
u2022 Account transformation
u2022 Intercompany Bookings
u2022 US Eliminations
u2022 Carry-forward rules
u2022 Validations
u2022 Automatic Adjustments
You will have to look at each of the business rules to undertand their functionalities.
Hope this gives you the basic understanding.

BCS: How to copy between versions

Hi,
Is there a way I can copy consolidated data from one version to another. For eg. for Februaray Forecast I want to copy January's actual numbers consolidated into the February Forecast version and perform consolidations only from February to December.
I tried to use the standard copy versions but it seems as if just copies the Reported Financial Data + data upto posting level 12.
Which basically means that I have to copy the data over from Actual version for January to Forecast version and perform the consolidation for January and then from February to December.
This is i)redundant and ii) error prone.
It also becomes worse as we go thru the different months.. for eg. for December forecast I would have to copy the data from January to November from Actual to Forecast version and perform consolidations on that and then perform consolidation for December.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
thx

Hi,
I don't think that you'll be able to copy fully consolidated data (posting level 30) to reported data (level 00).
Moreover, as you noticed, the COPY method doesn't copy all levels:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem40bw/helpdata/en/31/0a9940ccd42a54e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
Maybe there is a workaround. But, it's somewhat illogical.

"File not Found" error in the admin console for dimension

Hi All,
We are onto the BPC7 MS version and recently we have started facing an error "File Not Found" while trying to access the dimension members from the admin console.
I have checked the "adminapp" folder where all the dimension files should be placed in the system, the files are present in the folder.
The mbr<DIMENSION> tables are also present in the database and have the members intact.
I have also tried with processing the dimensions (NOT processing from the membersheet) and it goes successful, but still face the same "File Not Found" Error.
We have a single appset and a single application.
Regards
Raghav

Hi Sorin,
Where can I check the File path if it is set incorrect?
I am recieving this message for all the dimensions, even when I click on the "maintain dimension members", try to process or even try to copy them i have this pop up showing "file not found".
I have the dimension tables intact at the DB servers and they have the members in them.
Regards
Raghav

Custom Warning/Error status on Packages

Hi All,
I'm running a custom Stored Procedure which is then linked to a *RUN_STORED_PROCEDURE command in a logic in BPC7 (Microsoft version, SP7). I would like to control the package status from within the stored procedure.
After some tests, I've learned that if I put the string * ERROR * into a new line in the logfile, the package will interprete this as a keyword and correctly set the completion status to Error. I haven't been quite succesful with the warning messages though. I've tried several combinations without success:
WARNING *
Warning : Warning message
etc.
Has anyone done this before?
Thanks,
Ibai Madariaga

Hi Mihaela,
Thanks for your tip. Anyway I've just realized that even when the System Stored Procedures run ( SPRUNCALCACCOUNT, SPRUNCONVERSION, ...) when a warning is happening in the log file, the actual status on the packages is set to Completed. I tried some combinations with the [W] keyword but I'm not sure how to use it.
For the time being, we've agreed that we will show this messages with an error status, even if that implies some additional modifications to the package, i.e. not aborting the following tasks even if the Stored procedure has failed ...
Please, I would appreciate if you pointed me into the correct direction (either if there is some documentation on this) or which steps did you follow to change the status.
Kind regards,
Ibai Madariaga

Error in BCS Query execution

Hi Experts,
I am facing the below error when I am executing a BCS query:
1. Version not specified or not unique
2. Error reading data of Infoprovider ZBCS_NV11
3. Error while reading data , navigation is not possible.
Please let us know how to fix this issue.
Thanks,
Kavitha

You have this kind of error when your Query restrictions are not enough explicit regarding the special versions.
I give you an example. You have created special version 100 for Actuals and 200 for Budget. Your Consolidation Unit scope is version dependent : 100 assigned for Actuals structure and 200 for Budget structure. if you build a query with one column with Actuals figures and a comparative one with Budget figures, you will have to restrict :
1) the first column with special version 100 and explicit key date
2) the first column with special version 200 and explicit key date
In other words, if you have special versions, it is mandatory to explicitly specify in your Query the Special version and the key date. This can be derived with custom exit variables.

Profit Center Group Organization Change - Effective for Prior Periods

Hi Experts,
A client wants to perform a horizontal organization change (profit centers) and see the effects retroactively to the prior periods. To achieve this, they plan to re-execute the consolidation tasks going back two to three years once the org change is made, so that they have comparative financial statements that take into account the change. The requirement is to re-post the group level postings to the updated profit center group after the change. For example, Italy related postings would occur under the group Central Europe instead of Western Europe as before. All the group level postings previously booked to Western Europe would now need to recorded under Central Europe going back prior periods.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how to meet the requirement without re-consolidating?
One option was the restatement feature but based on the SAP help description of the monitor required, it does not take into account consolidated postings, only uploaded PL00-10 data and translation.
Another option is to copy the version but then the results is in another version rather than the original 'actual' "100" version.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
Eyal Feiler

Eyal,
I know of no other way to accomplish this than to re-execute the consolidation for the prior periods after the hierarchy has been changed.
I have used the restatement feature and like you have found it very limited.
The copy to another version would only work if you copied the existing data to the new version before re-executing the consolidation. The the version 100 can be re-consolidated for the previous periods and the existing reports do not have to be changed for a new version.
However, with the copy, it is important to set the cons group and cons unit hierarchies to be version dependent so the changes are only good for the version that is to be re-consolidated for previous periods. This allows you to report on the data before the change where the logic will read the old, unchanged version of the hierarchy.

Currency tranlation in case of Multiple group currency

From SAP help:
You want to report in two currencies on the subgroup level: You disclose the subgroup result in the first group currency while reporting the subgroup result to corporate headquarters in their group currency
My scenario:
I have subgroups B,C and top consolidation group as A
Subgroups B, C consolidate in EUR and Group A in USD.
1)
When i want to run my consolidation for sub groups -
All i have to do is go and change the group currency in my Permanent parameters.
Is this correct?
Also - can i use a copy function in this case (i.e. without creating any versions)?
(System does not allow me to specify a source and target grp currency without specifying the source and target versions)
2)
If I want to achieve this by multiple versions
I configure -3 consolidation versions - 001, 002 n 003
Make consolidation unit hierarchy as version dependent (define and assign Spl versions)
In my versions 002, 003 i maintain only the consolidation subgroups B n C respectively.
Create a Copy function which involves-
Three Copy methods X, Y n Z;
One copy Task with method assignment dependent on Company
Assign methods accordingly to each company.
Is this the correct way to do it or is there an alternative through special versions definition for Copy?
Do i have to worry about anything else?
Thanks in Advance!

1. Yes - change grp curr in parameters and execute copy and translation - source and target versions may be the same
2. because you have chosen to use different version for each grp curr, the above mentioned copy must be for differing source and target versions
I see no reason to make hierarchy version-dependent other than to exclude group A from having both EUR and USD grp currs. However, it is perfectly okay to have this dependency.
Unless there is missing information, I see no reason for separate copy methods/tasks or for assigning copy methods based on company.

Extend Profit center validity periods

Hi All,
I have a requirement to extend the Profit centers validity period. for example I have created the Profit center with validity date from 01.01.2010 to 31.12.9999. I have loaded the data with these dates, there is no issue in this. I have new requirement to change some data from 01.07.2010 to 31.12.9999 for the same above profit center. Is there any procedure to extend the validatity dates like that. Please let me know if there is any procedure available.
Thanks,
Satheesh

Upgrade to Hyperion Enterprise 6.5.1.1.102 - Performance Issues

We are testing an upgrade to Hyperion Enterprise 6.5.1.1. We have applied the Update 2 patch which I believe officially takes the version to 6.5.1.1.102. In testing reports and consolidation between the new version and the old 6.4.1 version of Enterprise, we are seeing a delay in how long it take reports to generate and for Consolidation to complete. With reports, we see the delay specifically when running large reports that pull a lot of data.
Currently, our 6.4.1 Hyperion application is installed on a Win2003 server and our users access Hyperion via Citrix. The 6.5.1.1.102 version is installed on a Win2008 server and is being accessed through Citrix.
To isolate this issue, we loaded Hyperion locally on a server and the timed some reports. The 6.5 reports take just as long to run as on our current v6.4 platform. So, it appears there is a performance issue running 6.5 enterprise through Citrix. Has any one else experienced this type problem or have any suggestions. We have been referred to numerous performance tuning notes from Hyperion support but nothing seems help.
Thanks.

Hi,
I would suggest you to apply the latest patch 6.5.1.1.103, and I would strongly recommend you to upgrade to HFM.
