Difference between SAP BPC & SEM BCS

Hi Gurus,
What is the difference between SAP BPC & SEM BCS And throw some light on both?
Thanks in Advance,
Sandy.

Hi Sandy,
The functionality in BPC mainly 1) Planning   2) Consolidation
1) Planning : You can have any type planning scenario.  Ex.: Sales planning.  Based on the actual previous data
we will have some projection reports on the sales for future sales, so we can have planning scenario here . We can change
the projections as per our requirement for any number of times.
Ex 2: HR Planning.  Based on the market condition we have recruitment planning, based on the actual data (Existing Emp.)
Ex 3: Accounts Expenditure planning like this we can have planning forecastings.
2) Consolidations : We can consolidate the group company, companies with currency translations, allocations, Inter Unit
eliminations, consolidated P&L accounts & Consolidated Balance Sheets are possible in this.
But where as in BCS you can do only 2 part.  The first part is not possible.  Hence I personally suggest you to learn BPC NW
it will be more useful.  BPC is now going to integrated with BO (Buss. Objects) also from 7.5 ver onwards.
I hope this may help you.

  • Difference between SAP BPC BI-IP

    Hi;
    I must do a comparative study between SAP BPC and BI-IP. But I dont know what are differences... I'm beginner in BPC and BI-IP and also in SAP.
    Please help me.

    Hi,
    In addition to above statements, BPC is a whole sole product which might be based on SQL server ( BPC MS version) or BI ( BPC NW version) as a back-end data support. It also has very special and distinguished functionalities like, Excel reporting, business process flows, work status, much bettter configured security structure, Inter company eliminations, currency translation, account transformation and likes. It includes both the Planning and Consolidation reporting.
    Whereas, IP is totally dependent upon BI data source and also doesnot have many good functionalities which are user-friendly.
    For better understanding of both the products, you can refer to the following links:

  • 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,

    Hi Paluri
    Here is the difference between SAP locks and Database locks, i will try to find the solution to your code.
    Regards
    Ashish
    Database Locks: The database system automatically sets database locks when it receives change statements (INSERT, UPDATE, MODIFY, DELETE) from a program. Database locks are physical locks on the database entries affected by these statements. You can only set a lock for an existing database entry, since the lock mechanism uses a lock flag in the entry. These flags are automatically deleted in each database commit. This means that database locks can never be set for longer than a single database LUW; in other words, a single dialog step in an R/3 application program.
    Physical locks in the database system are therefore insufficient for the requirements of an R/3 transaction. Locks in the R/3 System must remain set for the duration of a whole SAP LUW, that is, over several dialog steps. They must also be capable of being handled by different work processes and even different application servers. Consequently, each lock must apply on all servers in that R/3 System.
    SAP Locks:
    To complement the SAP LUW concept, in which bundled database changes are made in a single database LUW, the R/3 System also contains a lock mechanism, fully independent of database locks, that allows you to set a lock that spans several dialog steps. These locks are known as SAP locks.
    The SAP lock concept is based on lock objects. Lock objects allow you to set an SAP lock for an entire application object. An application object consists of one or more entries in a database table, or entries from more than one database table that are linked using foreign key relationships.
    Before you can set an SAP lock in an ABAP program, you must first create a lock object in the ABAP Dictionary.

  • What is difference between SAP R3 And SAP IS Mills Product

    HI Friends
    What is difference between SAP R3 And SAP IS Mills Product
    What are the futures are availables in IS MIlls
    Regards

    Hi,
    SAP R/3 is the central enterprise version. It is not specifically designed for any inducstry sectors and it can cater many of the industry types.
    Is is developed for specific industries an for SMB's (small and medium business). It will have components specifically for the industry.
    The SAP Mill Products component adds sector-specific functionality to an ERP system to satisfy the complex requirements of mill industries (e.g. metal, wood, paper, textiles, construction materials, and cable sectors).
    These industry segments differ from others primarily in that the materials used have a large number of characteristics and variants. The materials in the segments listed above are also predominantly area-based (e.g. paper, textiles, plastic film) or length-based (e.g. cables, piping). Account must be taken of these material characteristics throughout the entire supply chain.
    To cater for the particularities of these industry segments, SAP Mill Products features processes and functions that cover the entire supply-chain cycle – from product design and configuration, through planning, order processing, capacity planning and production, to final delivery. Additional functions are available in costing and inventory management. SAP Mill Products are also integrated into Quality Management, Financial Accounting, and Controlling.

    With regards

    Hi Vasmi
    There is lot of Diffenence Between ECC 6.0 & 4.6 C
    1-in 4.6 C Country India Version(CIN) is add on Separatelly
    while after 4.7 E up to ECC 6.0 CIN is integrated Part of SAP. that is the measure difference as per my knowledge
    2-ECC 6.0 have more functionality in terms of transaction for example
    if you do MIGO for PO then you can capture and post the excise invoice in the same transaction while in case of 4.6 C that feature is not available
    these two are major as far as MM is concern
    there are many others feature also

  • Difference between SAP Business Workflow and CRM Workflow

    Hello guys,
    Is there any difference between SAP Business Workflow and CRM Workflow?
    Are there others workflows types in SAP?
    In all SAP Workflow Courses (BIT600, BIT601, BIT603, BIT610) only was talked about SAP Business Workflow, and nothing about CRM Workflow.
    Thanks a lot!
    Kleber

    Hello Kleber,
    There is not much of the differance between CRM workflows and SAP Business  workflows..
    Workflows are esentially part of Basis (BC) components and hence its the same across all SAP products as all these products have components of Basis(BC) in them...
    To Conclude, SAP Busines workflows and CRM workflows are the same things... However when you work on CRM, the BOR objects would be belonging to CRM and not to ECC... However conceptwise , there in no change at all.. If you learn BIT100......, you can also work on CRM workflows..

  • Purchase price difference between SAP R/3 and BWI report

    Hi
    Purchase price difference between SAP R/3 and BWI report
    What is purchase price variance ?, my user is telling that  in SAP R/3, purchase price variance 100 and in  BWI  report it is 200 .
    Any other terminologies are there for purchase price variance ?
    And any idea wherefrom BWI will take this purchase price variance ?
    Thanks In advance

    Purchase price variance is he difference in price between the amount paid to the supplier and the planned or standard cost of that item
    Request you to check your data first in your Cube/ODS, better would be to check in the data container where the data is first loaded.
    Also check if this field is getting directly loaded as 1-to-1 mapping.

  • Difference between SAP CRM Security and SAP ECC 6.0 security

    Hi
    I have extensively worked on SAP ECC security but haven't have chance to work on CRM Security.
    Can anyone please let me know the difference between CRM security compared to  ECC security.
    Thanks...

    I am sorry to say, but instead of giving the guy a decent answer you are starting a fight or discussion about stupid forum points...
    really sad.....
    The big  difference between SAP ECC and SAP CRM Security (up to release 5.0) was the following:
    1) For sure there are very different transaction codes in SAP CRM as compared to SAP ECC in the first place
    2)  If you are familiar with R/3 or ECC authorizations; then you know that already on transaction code level, the 'allowed activity' is controlled on tcode level , whereas in SAP CRM , in most cases the 'allowed activity is not controlled by the Transaction code, but on authorization object level....
    E.g. transaction code BP allows you to create/change/display  any type of Business Partner (e.g; sold-to/ship-to/contact person/employee/customer) which is based on the business partner ROLE concept.... anyway...you can control the allowed activity based on different authorization objects.....
    another example is business transaction processing...which can be launched by:
    a very generic transaction code: CRMD_ORDER
    transaction category related transaction codes :e.g.
          > CRMD_BUS2000126 for activity management
          > CRMD_BUS200115 for Sales processes
    Again...allowed activity is not controlled by the tcode, but on authorization object level...
    3) As of the new WEBCLIENT UI (which is valid as of release CRM2006s/CRM2007/CRM7.0) SAP also invented an extra authorization layer, which is UI COMPONENT LEVEL and logical links....  controlled by object UIU_COMP.
    However, they also introduced the BUSINESS ROLE Concept (e.g; SALESPRO/MARKETINGPRO/...) which defines actually the functionalities, navigation bar, screen configuration, logical links you can use/see within the new WEBclient UI.
    Another thing is that instead of using TRANSACTION CODES, as of these new releases, you are actually using 'external services'....so you do not authorize on tcodes basically....but the logic between tcodes and external services in relation to the authorization objects that are checked is more or less the same....
    STANDARD authorization setup in the new WEBUI client is therefore controlled by both backend authorizations (not UIU component related) and the UIU_COMP (restricting access to workcenters/logical links/...)
    4) Additionally SAP also provides a concept called ACE (which stand for ACCES CONTROL ENGINE)....
    This requires a bit of customizing...and the rest is more or less pure customer development, as you will create your own methods where you'll define a logic which dynamically will verify what kind of access you have for an object....
    You should now that ACE is actually implemented on top of your 'normal' sap crm security setup....
    cheers
