Differences between SEM BCS and SAP BPC

Hello All,
Can you please let me know the differences between SEM BCS and SAP BPC. What I know is SEM BCS is an SAP product for Financial Consolidation (Legal and Management). SAP BPC is the new product taken over from Outlooksoft. It also features the consolidationa and planning functionalities. Can you please suggest which is a better product.
Regards
Vikram

There is nothing like better or worse product.
BCS has some strong features like consolidation monitor, investment consolidation and for most consolidation functions, configuration is very easy. In BPC, you may have to write scripts.
BCS has BW as the backbone  where for BPC 5.1 there is none. Howveer, in  BPC 7.0, the BPC will rest on BI and things will be much better.

  • DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TALLY ERP AND SAP BUSINESS ONE

    Hello Experts,
    From where i can find the  comparison between TAlly ERP and SAP business  one ?

    Tally 9.0

    . To pay taxes to various bodies - statutory needs
    . Keep the business running - manage receivables & payables, cash, bank...
    . Keep a watch on the pulse of the organisation - key performance indicators
    . Respond to queries - to locate the right transaction immediately
    . With the entry of a voucher (this is what we call all accounting transactions) all books  of accounts, all reports, all totals & sub-totals are updated instantly. There is  nothing more that needs to be done - whether you are inserting a forgotten entry, or correcting one.
    . Taxation requirements of all the states of India are available, in the prescribed formats.
    . Supporting tasks like reminder letters, delayed interest, ageing, bank reconciliation.
    . One single dashboard to look at all important business ratios.

    Financial Management & Controls
    Tally.ERP 9 comes with rich features & financial reports that give you the necessary management and control of your business. A few of these are listed below:
    u2022 Funds Flow & Cash Flow reports - help you locate bottlenecks

    u2022 Customer Credit Limits - to limit risk of default and large losses
    u2022 Budgets - keep tabs on projected expenses against actuals
    u2022 Mark vouchers post dated - these will reflect into the books of accounts only on/after that date
    u2022 For needs where reports have to consider a transaction that has not happened  (say salaries for this month that get paid the next month) vouchers (called 'reversing  journals') can be marked to 'disappear' for reports post a specific date
    u2022 "Scenario" management - helps you with your business forecasting and planning. You can use optional, reversing journals and memorandum vouchers, to aid in recording provisional entries that are useful for interim reports
    u2022 Multiple inventory valuation. You can decide one valuation method for the business,  and be able generate financial reports using any other valuation method - as the  statutory method may not be appropriate for your needs, your bankers and for other decisions
    u2022 Cash balances can go negative - you can get warned if this is about to happen, or  see reports and make the necessary corrections
    u2022 Several business exceptions are available (negative stocks, negative ledgers) - for
      you to exercise control over these activities
    u2022 A one-screen business ratios with drill down right up to the transactions - help you to  correct course frequently u2022 Item wise & document wise profitability statements to control revenue leakage and inappropriate pricing
    u2022 Internal audits are supported with audit controls - authorised users can mark  vouchers as 'audited' and can get to see reports on changes made post audit, and the name of the person making the change
    Inventory Accounting & Management
    If you deal in goods, of any type, you'll appreciate the Inventory capabilities in Tally.ERP 9.
    You can comprehensively record all types of inventory transactions, using goods receipt notes, delivery notes, stock journals, manufacturing journals and physical stock journals. All stock movements are fully recorded and maintained in stock registers.
    Developed for all manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers or traders a small list of features are briefly described below:
    Manufacturers:
    . Bill of materials and Manufacturing Journals, to record material conversions
    . Compound bill of materials support, for units that contain assemblies
    . Multiple locations (godowns)
    . Excise for manufacturers, including all documentation and invoice
    . Costing for jobs
    Distributors & Wholesalers:
    . Multiple price lists, with effective dates of applicability
    . Use multiple units of measure (say KG's & grams)
    . Dual units of measure (say KG's and bags, to support variations as happens in commodities)
    Traders:
    . High speed billing, with support for POS printers
    . Bar code support
    . Automatic application of taxes
    . Service billing & service tax
    . Integrated sales return in bills
    . Print bills (and any other document) in the customers language
    Common:
    . You can choose to de-link the computed inventory value to automatically appear in
       your financial statements - and enter this figure manually.
    . Stock ageing reports, to identify slow and non-moving stocks
    . Invoice profitability reports to keep a pulse on sales
    . Multi-currency transactions - buy and sell across the world - with integrated forex  gain/loss calculations
    . Physical stock take records to adjust physical vs. actual stocks
    . Maintain batch & expiry details
    Purchases & Payables: from Order to Payment
    Tally.ERP 9 delivers the entire purchase cycle whether the need is the complete purchase order - goods receipt - rejections & returns - advances, debits & payments or a single payment entry, fulfilling all needs.
    To ensure that you have the right stocks and minimize carrying costs, Tally.ERP 9 delivers the following to improve purchase orders:
    . Define Re-order levels as a definite number or based on consumption
    . Define minimum quantity to order as a definite number or based on consumption
    . Pull up a report that shows the stock position, including complete details of open purchaseorders, sales orders that need to be fulfilled - check on past purchase history, and then place orders
    . Optionally stagger delivery dates in the PO
    When receiving goods:
    . Make entries in accordance with supporting documentation, including errors your suppliers could have made (say of multiplication & round off)
    . Incorporate additional costs
    . Automatically manage input taxes
    . Flexibility allows receipt of goods, quantities and rates different from that ordered - since this is common in real life
    . Record samples & free items (using different 'actual' & 'billed' quantities)
    . Multiple receipts for one order or one receipt for multiple orders, or against verbal ordersIn case there is a need to add other costs (say coolie and cartage) these additional charges can be apportioned to the cost of goods purchased.
    Supplied goods may not match your needs and these are managed by the 'Rejections Out' inventory voucher. Supplier dues, input taxes and inventory positions are updated.
    Suppliers often indicate likely profits, which may not be met. In case such assurances are made, you can look at Item profitability reports, and get the facts right. You could then negotiate a rebate and record this as a debit note.
    Keep tabs of how much is due to whom, when. Manage advances, payables & post dated checks. Ensure there are no errors in payments - print checks from Tally.ERP 9.
    Sales & Receivables: from Order to Receipt
    The lifeline of a business, efficiencies in sales operations, both of goods & services, directly impact growth and profitability. The need to optimise and keep a close watch here requires exceptional capabilities from your business IT system - and Tally.ERP 9 meets these demands.
    The sales process is supported with the following documents:
    . Quotations - records of quotes
    . Sales orders - accepted customer orders
    . Deliver Notes - documents that accompany goods
    . Sales Invoices/Cash Bill - to record the sale
    . Credit Notes - for financial adjustments
    . Rejections in - for goods returns
    . Receipts - for advances and receipts
    Do you have cash sales (sales across the counter)? With support for Point of Sale printers, bar codes and receipts in multiple tenders, you POS enable your business at no additional cost. Product sales may come with added services - and the integrated product & service billing will close this.
    Enforce credit limits, where needed. Along with the Payment Performance of Debtors report you can identify persistent problems and take necessary business decisions. Interest for delays & reminder letters aid in collection.
    For businesses engaged in Excisable goods, you get full support for Excise for Traders & Manufacturing Excise - matter of fact a business could be both!
    Make multiple deliveries from one order, or one from multiple orders - this common need is available across all documents of the sales process.
    Do you have multiple classes of customers? You can easily setup multiple prices (even in advance and specify the date from which they are effective).
    Discounts against the line, or for the document, additional charges as a percentage or lump sum, automatic round off of bill totals, automatic computation of VAT & Service tax, returns & exchanges are all available.Need to verify that you are making the desired sales margins? Item wise and bill wise profitability reports will help you keep tabs.
    Multi-company
    Security: With multiple companies, possibly including personal accounts, you may need to control who gets access to which companies, and to do what. You can set up users, grant or deny access - and these are defined for each company.
    Remote Access: You choose to specify which company is accessible remotely. You choose which remote users have access; you decide what access a remote user gets.
    Central User Management: Users come and go. You might also have a password policy requiring users to change passwords every few weeks. You can take advantage of the ease of central user and password management that Tally.NET identities carry - and even remotely manage these while not in office.

    What is Series B
    This Series will deliver major enhancements both in entirely new areas of functionality as well as in technology capabilities.
    Technology & Capability Enhancements
    Multi-session
    Support for multiple application windows, which can even be launched by clicking on a mail link or a 'shortcut., Each of these are simultaneous 'windows' into different areas of your business processes & reports. Dynamic data refresh and the display of different views when resizing - for e.g. smaller windows displaying a more consolidated view of data, will improve organizational management and productivity.
    Multi-threaded
    A 'thread' is a specific task that is being performed by the microprocessor. Enhanced capabilities will be enabled such that each application window can perform more tasks simultaneously instead of linearly, including processing messages from the server. Multi-core processors, even on the desktop, are now common. We will take full advantage of these as well.
    Multi Stack Architecture for Scale-up & Scale-down Deployments
    To deliver the capabilities described above, and the ones that follow, Tally.ERP 9 will become 'componentised' - consisting of several layers of programs - often referred to as 'n-tier architecture'.
    These software components are horizontally scalable, meaning that you can add one more computer to increase the computing power needed for a layer. In the same way, you can remove systems as needed, or collapse them into a single system - all of them even on a notebook, if required.
    High Transaction Capacity with Low Latency & Management
    Let us say that you start generating a report that needs to be extracted from a few thousand vouchers. This process is run in a 'session', which is isolated from all other users. Even if other users delete or modify any of the vouchers needed for the report while the report is being compiled, there is no impact on this session and you will get to see the report as if these other users did not exist.
    In the same way, the user performing the edit will also be isolated. After the edit, he can open the voucher and see it with the changes he made, perhaps even delete it.
    The architecture described above will in itself deliver substantial performance and transaction handling capacity. To push performance further in those cases when the storage media (typically the hard disk) is busy with other operations, additional capabilities will store these transactions 'temporarily' in a 'Q' for later write, while the user is free to continue his work (these transactions are protected against power failures and so on).
    Payment Engine for Debit & Credit Cards
    The facility for online payments using a variety of payment mechanisms (NEFT, online banking, credit cards), as well as receive payments (Debit / Credit Cards, NEFT etc) will be available.
    Functional Enhancements
    Online Banking and Reconciliation
    Collaborating with Banks who wish to facilitate their customers with this capability, we will provide Online Banking - including Payment Instructions, Standing Instructions, DD, NEFT,RTGS Transfers, Balance Queries, Instruction Status, Automated or Semi-Automated Bank Reconciliation.
    Point-of-Sale for most Retail Environments
    Series B will support dedicated POS terminals, with Credit/Debit Card, Discount Coupons and various other payment mixes, Loyalty support, schemes, multi-layered supervisory control, simultaneous keyboard and scanner controls, integrated or isolated printing of bill and credit card authorisation slips, item substitution, rate markup/markdowns, integration with measuring devices - such as weighing scales, bill suspension and retrieval, bill reversals and cancellations, etc. It can also be used for other store operations (receipting, inventory management etc), and general business operations (finance and accounts) - both on the same machine or separate machines.
    Income Tax
    Comprehensive IT coverage encompassing corporate & individual income tax, including typical payroll requirements and e-Returns will be available.
    EXIM Documentation
    Import & export documentation has become a growing need with the world economy becoming more open. This requirement will be supported, additionally covering the processes that need to be managed along with the documentation.
    Job Costing
    The enhanced Job Costing functionality will support most job costing needs to a level of granularity that is increasingly needed. We expect that you will be able to handle most, if not all, project accounting needs as well.
    Fixed Assets
    To take advantage of tax breaks as well as to manage organizational assets, this feature will support all requirements - from opening assets, adding, removing, amalgamating, grouping, vendor tagging, AMC's, servicing, service calendars, repairs and upkeep, refurbishing, breaking-down, depreciating and disposal for complete fixed asset management.

  • Difference between Solution Manager and SAP CTS

    Hi,
    I am having trouble understanding what is the difference between the two. Which tool is recommanded to use?
    Thx in advance,
    regards
    Edited by: Bob Thiouwz on Apr 3, 2008 12:47 PM

    Hi,
    search on SDN u will get more helpful answers.
    Solution manager is a tool which is used for maintaing a project related documents.
    refer the below link:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/ce89c290-0201-0010-5985-dd64605111fd

    /people/community.user/blog/2006/12/07/organize-and-perform-testing-using-solution-manager
    CTS is the change and transport system used to transport Xi objects.
    refer the bleow link for more detail:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/80bbbd55-5004-2a10-f181-8bb096923cb6
    The XI use case for CTS+ introduces a new transport handling mechanism that offers tighter integration for the transport of ABAP, Java, and Integration Builder objects (Integration Repository and Integration Directory) using the Change and Transport System (BC-CTS) functionality.
    As your XI system requires both the ABAP and the Java stack of the SAP NetWeaver Application Server, the following transport tools are available after installation:
    The ABAP transport environment (BC-CTS)
    The file export and import mechanisms or CMS integration to transport Repository or Directory objects in your transport landscape
    In addition, you might also have to transport Java development objects by using the SAP NetWeaver Development Infrastructure itself.
    The enhancements to CTS in combination with the SAP Solution Manager Change Request Management (ChaRM) address the following issues:
    Synchronized transports for mixed systems (ABAP & Java)
    A unified application for mixed system landscapes
    Tracking of non-ABAP transports including Change Request Management
    For your XI landscapes there will be one central transport environment with CTS+ where you can manage all XI-relevant transport objects from a single entry point.

    Hi Shoukath,
    The ERP system communicates with SAP CRM using CRM Middleware.
    Please find the below link for more details on CRM Middle ware
    [CRM Middleware|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm60/helpdata/en/76/5ea438c42a5b2ce10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm]
    Where as
    PI is a middleware like many others. It is well suited for connecting SAP systems with each other and with non-SAP.If your focus is not on SAP systems, other solutions might be a better choice today. SAP XI provides an integrated workflow engine that allows to define adapters to non-XML-protocols and mappings to convert data content from source to target.
    Process integration provides the infrastructure for business applications, that run in distributed systems. Process integration acts as the messaging middleware for service communication(both SAP and Non-SAP), connectivity, transformation and portability.
    Applications can also be connected directly with Web services (including the Web Service Reliable Messaging standard).

  • Difference between OpenSAP free and SAP paid Certifications?

    Hi OpenSAP team,
    I have taken part in few HANA courses, namely,
    "An Introduction to SAP HANA, Dr.Vishal Sikka"
    "SAP Business Suite Powered by SAP HANA"
    "Introduction to SAP HANA Cloud Platform"
    and also registered for "SAP BW Powered by SAP HANA"
    My question is, how different are these participation certificates from the other paid fee obtained certificates? In my case, what more SAP HANA cources should I take to get equal to SAP HANA Certification?
    If these OpenSAP courses is equivalent to SAP Certifications, then that would be great.
    Many thanks,
    Gopal Seri

    Hi Gopal,
    Thank you for reaching out to us. The Record of Achievement from openSAP is not comparable to an SAP certification.
    To receive an SAP certification, you should go to the SAP Training and Certification Shop (http://training.sap.com) to find other great offerings from SAP. You can easily find courses that relate to those that you've completed on openSAP.
    For example, if you search for SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA on http://training.sap.com and go to the openSAP course, you can find related courses and certifications.
    If you've completed Introduction to SAP HANA Cloud Platform, then you can find follow up trainings on openSAP such as Next Steps in SAP HANA Cloud Platform and Extending SAP Products with SAP HANA Cloud Platform. These trainings provide you with practical skills and allow you to learn from your location. You can also find related courses and certifications from the SAP Training and Certification Shop.
    I hope that helps you to find further trainings from SAP. Happy learning!
    Kind regards,
    Claire

  • Difference SEM-BCS and BO PLanning & Consolidation

    Hi all,
    as announced in the subject. I was wondering what the difference between SEM-BCS and BO Planning & Consolidation is(so referring to the consolidation part)?
    Is BO Planning & Consolidation = BO Planning + SEM BCS
    Looking forward to your ideas!
    Best regards
    Hagen

    Hi Collet,
    Sorry I have no time to make a full-fledged comparison SEM-BCS and SAP BPC as you asked.
    Regarding your last link: very interesting information. Thank you very much.
    The citation from the article:
    Known Limitations
    In SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Consolidation (BPC), organizations (i.e. entities and groups/consolidation scopes) car vary according to Category and Time. However, all the other dimensions are static, which means they have neither category nor time dependency. As a result, the model presented here will use static Profit Center and Intercompany Profit Center dimensions.
    Eliminations (so called Automatic Adjustments in BPC) are primarily driven by Legal Entity and Intercompany dimensions. As a result, when it comes to Matrix Consolidation, each elimination will still occur based on this fact. So, basically, an elimination is triggered if both an Entity and the Intercompany entity are being consolidated under the same node (i.e. Group or Consolidation scope). In other words, BPC does not evaluate as such the Profit Center and Intercompany Profit Center dimensions when it comes to performing eliminations. Amounts will be eliminated based on the Legal Entity view. However, it is possible to analyze and group eliminations by Profit Center later on. As a result, Matrix consolidation will heavily leverage the reporting/filtering capabilities of the product.
    I'm afraid that in SEM-BCS' sense the Matrix consolidation has much more deep meaning than that presented here.

  • Folks would somebody be able to define difference between BI mobile and Afaria?

    I am looking for differences between BI Mobile and SAP Afaria, in a sense of Do's and Don'ts what they both can do and what they can't if compared with each other.
    If anyone has any knowledge on it and would like to share it would be great help, Thanks.

    FYI:  SAP has now realized the value of combining Mobile Analytics and Mobile Device/App Management, and has created an offering called "Mobile Secure BI Edition".
    This is a bundle of Lumira Desktop/Cloud, Afaria, and Mocana Mobile App Protection.  This will be announced at Sapphire, and launched in Q3 '14.

  • Differences between Classic BW and HANA on BW?

    Dear Friends,
    can we discuss here what are main difference between classic BW and HANA on BW?
    Please share your thoughts who was involved in RAMPup.
    already know some differences IMDB DSO, Cube, still some gaps are not clarify till i install BW on HAN
    thanks
    rao

    First of all , HANA Enterprise Extend edition DOES NOT Meets all  BW features.
    There are no best scenario, it is dependent on scenarios.HANA SPS3 scenarios would be great fit  for Agile Data mart however BW on HANA would be great fit for EDW scenarios.
    For users who already have BW with BWA, BW on HANA bring performance improvement on the other side of equation (ETL side)  along with query improvement.
    At high level, following are some of techinal issues with using HANA SPS 3 as "One fit for all" :
    1. Currently, there is no reporting tool available which can recogonize variable functionality of HANA. One may use universe variable functionality however the functionality will not provide all exhaustive options.
    2. Currently Hierarchies cannot be recogonized by any of reporting tools.
    3. Currently Data Level security options in HANA is limited.
    Another dimension to consider is if you have planning application,Integrated Planning is currently supported and BPC will be supported soon (the scenario is only possible BW on HANA).
    Hope this is helpful.
    PS:
    Regarding HANA 1.0 SPS3, for your below scenario:
    SAP & non SAP  -  BODS 4.0 -- HANA 1.0 SPS3 -- BI 4.0( Any front end ODBC support )
    you will need BODS 4.1 version.

  • What is difference between sy-tabix and sy-index.

    SAP Seniors,
    Can you please let me know what is difference between sy-index and sy-tabix.
    I read the SAP help, it is confusing for me. it looks like both are same from help. please help me.
    Thank you
    Anitha.

    HI,
        Here is a brief description of difference between SY_TABIX and SY_INDEX and using them with several conditions.
    SY-TABIX
    Current line of an internal table. SY-TABIX is set by the statements below, but only for index tables. The field is either not set or is set to 0 for hashed tables.
    APPEND sets SY-TABIX to the index of the last line of the table, that is, it contains the overall number of entries in the table.
    COLLECT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the existing or inserted line in the table. If the table has the type HASHED TABLE, SY-TABIX is set to 0.
    LOOP AT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the current line at the beginning of each loop lass. At the end of the loop, SY-TABIX is reset to the value that it had before entering the loop. It is set to 0 if the table has the type HASHED TABLE.
    READ TABLE sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line read. If you use a binary search, and the system does not find a line, SY-TABIX contains the total number of lines, or one more than the total number of lines. SY-INDEX is undefined if a linear search fails to return an entry.
    SEARCH <itab> FOR sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line in which the search string is found.
    SY-INDEX
    In a DO or WHILE loop, SY-INDEX contains the number of loop passes including the current pass.
    Hope this helps.

    HI,
        Here is a brief description of difference between SY_TABIX and SY_INDEX and using them with several conditions.
    SY-TABIX
    Current line of an internal table. SY-TABIX is set by the statements below, but only for index tables. The field is either not set or is set to 0 for hashed tables.
    APPEND sets SY-TABIX to the index of the last line of the table, that is, it contains the overall number of entries in the table.
    COLLECT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the existing or inserted line in the table. If the table has the type HASHED TABLE, SY-TABIX is set to 0.
    LOOP AT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the current line at the beginning of each loop lass. At the end of the loop, SY-TABIX is reset to the value that it had before entering the loop. It is set to 0 if the table has the type HASHED TABLE.
    READ TABLE sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line read. If you use a binary search, and the system does not find a line, SY-TABIX contains the total number of lines, or one more than the total number of lines. SY-INDEX is undefined if a linear search fails to return an entry.
    SEARCH <itab> FOR sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line in which the search string is found.
    SY-INDEX
    In a DO or WHILE loop, SY-INDEX contains the number of loop passes including the current pass.
    Hope this helps.
