EC-CS, BPC, BOBJ Financial Consolidation Compare

What major difference would be there between EPM solutions "BPC" and "Financial Consolidation" as far as consolidation goes? What added advantage do we get compared the original EC-CS in SAP? How long will EC-CS can be used or supported by SAP?

ECCS is supposed to out of active maintenance around 2009. But this was the news some time back. But one customer configured for go live in ECCS this November.2009.
BOBJ concoliation will be merged with BPC landscape soon. This is pure business objects way of doing consolidation and SAP bought the BO and trying to merge it with BPC product.
BPC is the wayforward for SAP...not only they are maintaining BPC's original format of outlooksoft with minor modification, in BPC7NW release they inegrated with BI/BW. In BPC 7.5/8 NW version they are going to integrate the BO fully to BPC.
Hope this answers your questions Sridhar.

BPC and Financial consolidation

Dear All,
I would like to understand what is difference between BPC and Financial consolidation.
I have a client who wants to implement only consolidation in system and we would like to know which product to implement BPC or Financial consolidation.
Is there any advantage/ disadvantage if we go ahead with BPC and not Financial consolidation.
Regards,

One major difference which BPC has over their competettor product is
"BPC is a unifed application for finacial planning , forcasting , budgeting & consolidation."
if u thinking to use other functions apart from consolidation like planning etc ... then BPC is the go forward path for u

Set of Business Rules - BPC 10.0 Consolidation

Hi experts,
I´ll need help to work with two scenarios on BPC 10.0 (Consolidation) as following: 01- The scenario 01 has four entities: 1001, 1002, 1003 and 1004 and four business rules: ELIM01, ELIM02, ELIM03 and ELIM04. I need only rules ELIM01 and ELIM02 are performed for entities 1001 and 1002 and rules ELIM03 and ELIM04 are performed for entities 1003 and 1004. Is it possible in BPC? How can I do it? 02 - The scenario 02 has two entities: 1005 and 1006 and I´ll need to perform a set of rules with business rules ELIM05, ELIM06 and ELIM07 until 2014.03 and I´ll also need to perform other set of rules with ELIM05, ELIM06 and ELIM08 from 2014.04. In thi scenario I want to create a new set of business rules without the rule ELIM07 but I don't want to delete this. Is it possible in BPC? Can I work with two or more set of rules in BPC? How can I do it? Is it possible work with time dependent on set of rules?
Thanks a lot! Madhuk

Hi,
01
The scenario 01 has four entities: 1001, 1002, 1003 and 1004 and four business rules: ELIM01, ELIM02, ELIM03 and ELIM04. I need only rules ELIM01 and ELIM02 are performed for entities 1001 and 1002 and rules ELIM03 and ELIM04 are performed for entities 1003 and 1004.
Are we talking about the eliminations and adjustments business rule? Those rules have an entity property filter which you can use.
02
The scenario 02 has two entities: 1005 and 1006 and I´ll need to perform a set of rules with business rules ELIM05, ELIM06 and ELIM07 until 2014.03 and I´ll also need to perform other set of rules with ELIM05, ELIM06 and ELIM08 from 2014.04. In thi scenario I want to create a new set of business rules without the rule ELIM07 but I don't want to delete this?
Are we talking about the eliminations and adjustments business rules? They work based on the method based multipliers. So one possible solution would be to have different methods and therefore different method based multipliers in your ownership cube.

Difference between Oracle Financial Consolidation Hub and Hyperion Financial Management

Dear All,
Greetings!
We are at a client site where the existing consolidation process is performed using the Oracle Financial Consolidation Hub (FCH)
The client is interested to migrate or utilize the power of Hyperion Financial Management (HFM) and want to utilize Hyperion going forward
Queries:
1. Can we integrate or migrate the Oracle FCH to HFM
2. What are the major differences between Oracle FCH and HFM - functionally and technically?
3. Which is more advantageous considering the growth potential, future opportunities of expansion of the company?
Any help on this query (at the earliest) is highly appreciated as we have the real scenario in hand.
Thanks
Swami

FCH was a product launched by Oracle to counter Hyperion Financial Management. However, it is not a proven tool. HFM has a very good market standing coupled with its other reporting capabilities. Also, HFM is a industry leader now.
Financial Consolidation Hub will be removed from the Oracle E-Business Suite Component. FCH will not be included with Release 12.1. This is why, customers are advised to move to Hyperion Financial Management.
An automatic migration utility from FCH to HFM has not been implemented. FCH customers who wish to implement Hyperion Financial Management will have to install the application and complete the implementation process manually.

Financial Consolidation of multiple companies

Good Morning Expert!
Just want to know if SAP B1 can handle financial consolidation and how to do it. Our requirement is to consolidate financials of 3 companies.
Hope to hear from you soon
Thanks.
Sandra

Hi
You need to find (or develop) and add-on that allows the MultiCompany.
One example is CitiXsys, they have a solution like that or you can try to look for another SAP partner that may provides that in your region.

Problem with DimensionBuilder (Business Objects Financial Consolidation)

Description of Problem or Question:
Hi all,
i try to create a new Dimension as described in the help by switching into "Definition Mode" of the Dimensionbuilder. In "data sources" I select the "amounts" folder and Select File -> New -> Dimension. Unfortunatelly the Dimension entry is greyed so that i can not select it. It is also not possible to load data into the existing dimensions or reference tables.
Any ideas how to solve that problem?
Product\Version\Service Pack\Fixpack (if applicable):
SAP Business Objects Financial Consolidation 7.5 Built 7.5.0.1021
Thanks a ot in advance!
Sebastian Lehnert

The problem is solved. If you have the same problem, make sure that your database is initialized as a top site. By default the database is initialied as a child site which means that customizing is not possible.

Financial Accounting Comparative Analysis

Hi
Balances showing, Upon executing task Financial Date Reconciliation, have encountered differences in Financial Accounting Comparative analysis. The spools generated after executing the said task.
I am checked in ABST2, But there is no differences. Guide me where I will investigate?
Regards, SP

Hi,
if ABST2 shows no difference, there is no difference.
The problem is that you can not compare every list and this causes misunderstandings
ABST2 is the right one to check it out.

Can I use Discoverer to do financial consolidation

Hi all,
Can anyone advise if Discoverer can be used as a financial consolidation tools. Basically we are using Oracle Apps 10.7 with 7.3 database and have mutliple instance over two servers.
We are currently using Frango, a consolidation tools, to generate our consolidated finance report but are planning to look into alternative.
Appreciate if anyone can provide advise. Besides, what about Oracle Express? It also appears to be a similar OLTP tool.
Thanks and Regards.

I think you should take a close look at OFA (Oracle Financial Analyser). This product can extract data from you Oracle applications and consolidate.

Hi Experts,
I'm busy testing the B1i SO to PO scenario as training to familiarize myself with B1i. My client actually need financial consolidation of several SBO databases into the Consolidated SBO database. Is there such a BizPackage avaialable from SAP?
If not, is this something that is going to be developed? I would believe that several SBO clients have this need.
Regards,
Marli

Hi Marli,
as previously mentioned I would ask you to contact Patricia Koch from SAP ( patricia.koch a sap.com ).
She will give detailed information about a Financial Consolidation BizPackage.
Alternatively you can contact me (look in my user profile), so that I can give you more details.
Kind regards,
Marcus
