Hierarchy in RSA1 and cargo to the SEM BCS

Dear Friends
If I create a hierarchy in RSA1 in BW and loads it into the SEM BCS hierarchy I can use is to Consolidation?
tks Regards

When a hierarchy is created in BW for BCS purposes it must be synchronized into BCS via program UGMDSY20. However it may not be complete enough for BCS purposes as BW is for reporting and BCS needs additional information for cons group hierarchies. For example, BCS needs period and year of first consolidation. Therefore you can synchronize BW to BCS but then update BCS after the synchorization is complete.

  • Different view on hierarchy between rsa1 and rsecadmin

    Hi togther,
    i've got the following problem and I don't why it appears and how to solve it.
    I've created a hierarchy for an infoobject in the rsa1, all notes are characteristic nodes. The hierarchy tables seems to be
    OK. The representation of the hierarchy looks ok.
    When I want to use this hierarchy in the authorisation maintenance, all notes with childs appears 2 times:
    In the details the 2 notes looks like:
    Correct Entry:
    1. Name  Nodename Infoobject
       Name  0001 ZIFCM014
    Wrong entry:
    2. Name Nodename Infoobject
        Name  0001
    For example:
    Representation in RSA1
    Root
         Node1
              Node2
              Node3
        Node4
             Node5
             Node6
    Representation in rsecadmin
    Root
         Root (no Infoobject is assigned)
         Node1
               Node1 (no infoobject is assigned)
              Node2
              Node3
       Node4
              Node4 (no infoobject is assigned)
              Node5
              Node6
    If the hierarchy is used in a query, the user can select the wrong entries.
    Maybe one of you has an idea, how to solve a problem.
    King regards
    Lars

    Hi Emmanuel,
    it's not a problem with the query, I expect it's a problem with the representation of the hierarchy.
    Different view on the hierarchy between the transaction rsecadmin and the rsa1.
    Kind regards

  • Concept of Integrated Consolidation Unit of SEM BCS

    HI Experts,
    I'm now in the SEM BCS 4.0 and BW 3.5 implementation. Previously I was the ECCS specialist and before the FI and AM specialist.
    Now I'm in SEM BCS implementation.
    I have one question in connection to the integrated consolidation unit. As the reference, I take the concept of this using the ECCS.
    As you might know, the creation of integrated consolidation unit for using realtime update method in ECCS, is pulled from FI company ID.
    Meanings if I set the configuration properly, I can pull out the company master data as the consolidation unit master data in consolidation monitor.
    Now, in SEM BCS, I want to do the same thing. I mean, off course I can create company ID in R/3 and then create the consolidation unit manually using UCWB. But this scenario can create inconsistency, and I also think this is not the right concept of doing integration between R/3 and SEM BCS.
    My question is : what is the concept of this master data integration, and what is the proper way to do it?
    Any advise on this question is highly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.
    regards,
    Halim

    Hi Halim,
    You need to build properly your data basis in data model.
    Assign your company to a consolidation unit role:

  • SEM BCS - Consolidation Chart of Accounts

    Hi all,
    For the SEM-BCS implementation I am using ECC as the operational system. ECC folks are in the process of building a group chart of account in FI.
    Can you suggests the work around to map group chart of account to consolidation chart of account in SEM-BCS?
    Thanks in advance
    RJ

    I am not sure if anybody has replied you.
    In SEM 4.0, You need to download the chart from R3 and then upload as hierrachy in the UCWB workbench.
    In SEM.6.0, You have master data load direct from R3 and you can do the same.
    Functional advice:-
    Normally R3 creates operational chart of account in R3. Each account has a group account feild, if populated the mapping of operational chart to group is amintained in R3 itself.
    You can upload the GL master with group chart account number and then this will obviously have the mapping for your use in BCS.
    Consolidation chart of account in R3 (if its the accepted group chart) will be the same group chart which your ECC guys are preparing.
    Are they using ECCS in R3??

  • 2004s BI & SEM-BCS 6.0 in one System?

    Hi,
    Rumors say you should keep SEM out of your central BI and give it its own BI, to avoid painful patch/release dependencies.
    Should the SEM-BCS be installed on a separate system, because of patch interdependencies with the central BI?
    If yes, does BCS still need its own local BI, or can it run remotely with the central BI (like the old BW-BPS)?
    Similar sap recommendations exist only for SEM-BPS, which we won't use in favor of BI Integrated Planning.
    We plan to set up a separate central BI 7.0 for following integrated NW2004s scenarios:
    - Enterprise wide central reporting, query and analysis.
    - BI Integrated Planning (successor of SEM-BPS).
    - SEM-BCS 6.0.
    Thank's for any hints ...
    Robert

    Hi Eugene,
    thanks for your callback. Here an example:
    Say, you need a BI-Patch (urgent bug-fix) or may be a BI-Upgrade to be able to use new functionalities for your Enterprise wide central reporting, query and analysis (since you don't use the BI only for BCS).
    So, you would have to wait, until the same is also available for SEM-BCS, as it it tightly coupled to the BI (e.g. direct writing to transactional cubes, query via virtual cube augmented with data at query-runtime).
    Notes like 727776 and 317339 just make me suspicious.
    A similar SAP Help-hint is only available for BW-BPS (but we will use BI integrated Planning)
    http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/en/44/584041b02e4c0de10000000a1550b0/content.htm
    Since more and more SAP-Applications need a BI, i am desperately missing a comprehensive overview, which of them should not be placed in the same BI for technical reasons (e.g. one sap-note says Bank-Analyzer and SEM-BCS should not be on the same BI).
    Regards

  • Authorizations for tasks (R_UC_TASK) / Best Practice SEM-BCS authorization

    Dear Experts,
    I am quite new to authorizations and in particular to SEM-BCS authorization. So I would be happy if you could help me with the following requirement:
    We have to setup an authorization concepts for SEM-BCS. Among others we want to setup authorizations for consolidations tasks using authorization object R_UC_TASK. With this authorization object certain tasks can be restricted to certain characteristic values u2013 e.g. for a certain consolidation group or a certain consolidation unit. We have defined a role each for certain consolidation tasks. These roles are not restricted to any characteristic value yet. We have for instance a role u201Cregional controlleru201D who is allowed to perform certain BCS tasks on a regional level (consolidation unit level). This would mean that we would have to create the role u201Cregional controlleru201D for all consolidation units u2013 see example below:
    Role 1: Regional Controller u2013 Cons. Unit 1000
    Role 2: Regional Controller u2013 Cons. Unit 1100
    Role 3: Regional Controller u2013 Cons. Unit 1200
    Role n: Regional Controller u2013 Cons. Unit n
    We have more than 400 consolidation units. So this would require a high effort. Is there instead a possibility of creating one role based on authorization object R_UC_TASK which just defines which activities can be performed (without restricting access to a certain consolidation unit). , and using second role which defines the consolidation unit access? u2013 see example below:
    A
    Role: Regional Controller
    Role: Cons Unit 1000
    B
    Role: Regional Controller
    Role: Cons Unit 1100
    C
    Role: Regional Controller
    Role: Cons Unit 1200
    In this case we only would have to maintain one role u201CRegional Controlleru201D and we only would have to assign the restriction for the consolidation unit. How could this be realized?  Or do you have any other ideas to solve this requirement in a simple way?
    Moreover I would be happy if you could tell me where I could find best practice scenarios for SEM-BCS authorizations.
    Thanks a lot in advance!
    Best regards
    Marco

    Hello Marco,
    you can enter a master role in the description tab of a role. All fields populated via program PFCG_ORGFIELD_CREATE can be maintained in the role. All other fields will be taken from the master role. So you only need to populate the field for unit with the program.
    Good luck

  • Implementation of SEM-BCS

    Hi Experts,
    i am trying to implement SEM-BCS. I am still new in it. Are there any documentation about step by step to configure SEM-BCS?
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Hi,
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/advancedsearch?query=bw-bcs&cat=sdn_all
    Basics of BCS modelling -
    Key figures -
    You are generally not permitted to change any properties of the key figures used in SEM-BCS. The only exceptions to this are options that affect the display in Business Explorer and the "Characteristic is document property" setting.
    If you want to use your own InfoObjects as key figures for totals records in the InfoCube, consider the following conditions:
    1. SEM-BCS supports four roles for key figures in the data stream for totals records: Value in group currency, value in local currency, in transaction currency and quantity. You can assign a maximum of four key figures in the data basis accordingly. If you include additional key figures in the InfoCube, these cannot be processed in the consolidation. You are not permitted to assign other roles, such as 'subassignment,' to key figures either.
    2. In SEM-BCS, the values are always stored periodically in the database. Furthermore, year-to-date values or non-cumulative values are not managed separately but result from cumulation in each case over the periods of the current fiscal year up to the current period. (This is a purely technical restriction. The consolidation functions greatly support the process with year-to-date values.) Therefore, you must define InfoObjects as cumulative values. Proceed according to the 0CS_TRN_GC, 0CS_TRN_LC, 0CS_TRN_TC, 0QUANTITY InfoObjects that are delivered.
    3. You cannot use referencing key figures in SEM-BCS. If you want to define a key figure with a reference, to transfer the technical properties of the referenced InfoObject identically, you can simply create this with a template instead. However, if you want to use the special BW function linked with referencing key figures (see the online documentation in the BW), enter the referencing key figures in the InfoCube, but assign the referenced key figures to the data basis.
    Characteristics
    With the following characteristics, you are not permitted to make changes to the properties. Once again, the only exceptions here are the options that affect the display in Business Explorer:
    0AC_DOCLN, 0AC_DOCNR, 0AC_DOCTEXT, 0AC_IVDOCNR, 0AC_IVPER, 0AC_IVYEAR, 0AC_OIDOCNR, 0AC_OIPER, 0AC_OIYEAR, 0AC_ORDOCNR, 0AC_ORPER, 0AC_ORYEAR, 0AC_RVDOCNR, 0AC_RVPER, 0AC_RVYEAR, 0BCS_AREA, 0BCS_AUTODL, 0BCS_BGPER, 0BCS_BGYEAR, 0BCS_COIACT, 0BCS_COIFUT, 0BCS_COIINA, 0BCS_COINRT, 0BCS_COIPGW, 0BCS_COITOA, 0BCS_CTFLG, 0BCS_DPER, 0BCS_DTEQI, 0BCS_GWLC, 0BCS_GWMAN, 0BCS_GWNEG, 0BCS_GWPROC, 0BCS_LCCMU, 0BCS_LCIC, 0BCS_OBJNR1, 0BCS_OBJNR2, 0BCS_OBJNR3, 0BCS_OBJNR4, 0BCS_OBJNR5, 0BCS_OBJNR6, 0BCS_OBJNR7, 0BCS_OBJNR8, 0BCS_ORGCH, 0BCS_ORGCHL, 0BCS_PRGRP, 0BCS_REFPER, 0BCS_REFYR, 0BCS_SEQNM, 0BCS_TASK, 0BCS_TASKGR, 0BCS_TASKTY, 0BCS_TAXSUP, 0CS_COIAC, 0CS_COINR, 0CS_PLEVEL, 0CURRENCY, 0DATE, 0UNIT, 0USERNAME
    Compounding -
    When you define the compounding of an InfoObject, some compound relationships are not supported:
    You cannot compound subassignments to consolidation units.
    You are not permitted to compound the document type and the (0CS_PLEVEL) posting level.
    You cannot compound noncurrent assets and assets/liabilities to 0BCS_ALTYPE. In addition, you cannot compound to a characteristic from the totals cube, with the exception of consolidation units, partners, and so on, and their higher-level characteristics.
    ODS objects / Virtual InfoProvider -
    You can generate the ODS objects for additional financial data and the virtual InfoProvider from the data basis maintenance. However, you can also create these manually and enter them in the data basis. If you do this, create the ODS objects and virtual InfoProvider with the same characteristics and structure they would have had if generated by the data basis maintenance. You can only deviate very slightly from this.
    You are not permitted to include the following InfoObjects in any InfoProvider, unless they are generated by the data basis automatically:
    0BCS_AREA, 0BCS_REFPER, 0BCS_REFYR, 0BCS_TASK, 0BCS_TASKGR, 0BCSTASKTY
    The following InfoObjects must not be contained in the InfoObject catalog, which is defined in the data basis:
    0BCS_AREA, 0BCS_REFPER, 0BCS_REFYR, 0BCS_TASK, 0BCS_TASKGR, 0BCSTASKTY, 0FISCYEAR, 0FISCPER3
    Time characteristics -
    SAP consolidation SEM-BCS ignores changes with the 0FISCPER, 0FISCPER3, 0FISCVARNT and 0FISCYEAR time characteristics. If you make changes, for instance, if you create hierarchies or attributes, these are not taken into account by SEM-BCS. Therefore, there is no maintenance in the workbench, you cannot use the hierarchies or attributes in the functions of SEM-BCS for selections and so on, and you cannot use the attributes or hierarchies for selections in BW queries.
    Characteristic values
    The following InfoObjects may have the values set by default by SAP only . You are not permitted to change them, not even by using the BW master data maintenance:
    0BCS_AREA, 0BCS_AUTODL, 0BCS_COISRT, 0BCS_CTFLG, 0BCS_DIDIEL, 0BCS_GWMEM, 0BCS_GWPROC, 0BCS_IPAAC, 0BCS_IPATTY, 0BCS_OBJNR1, 0BCS_OBJNR2, 0BCS_OBJNR3, 0BCS_OBJNR4, 0BCS_OBJNR5, 0BCS_OBJNR6, 0BCS_OBJNR7, 0BCS_OBJNR8, 0BCS_REPMOD, 0BCS_TASK, 0BCS_TASKGR, 0BCS_TASKTY, 0BCS_TAXSUP, 0BCS_TIMMOD, 0CS_COIAC, 0CS_PLEVEL
    For these InfoObjects you can only use the tools of the master data service of the Financial Basis to synchronize master data, so the master data is transferred by the SEM-BCS tables to the BI tables, but not the other way round.
    Predefined InfoObjects for individual roles
    The system automatically uses most of the InfoObjects mentioned here to activate certain data streams. However, there also are some InfoObjects that you must manually enter in the cube for the totals records. Subsequently, you must assign certain roles to these InfoObjects. These roles are allowed for these InfoObjects only, you cannot assign these roles to other InfoObjects.
    These are:
    0CS_PLEVEL for the posting level role (required)
    0BCS_CTFLG for the conversion role (optional)
    0BCS_PRGRP for the product group role (optional)
    Activate characteristics and key figures from BW Content
    Before you create a data basis of SAP consolidation, you have to activate certain InfoObjects from BW Content.
    1. You must always activate the following: 0CS_PLEVEL, 0FISCPER, 0FISCPER3, 0FISCVARNT, 0FISCYEAR.
    2. If you use documents, you must also activate: 0AC_DOCLN, 0AC_DOCNR, 0AC_DOCTEXT, 0AC_IVDOCNR, 0AC_IVPER, 0AC_IVYEAR, 0AC_OIDOCNR, 0AC_OIPER, 0AC_OIYEAR, 0AC_ORDOCNR, 0AC_ORPER, 0AC_ORYEAR, 0AC_RVDOCNR, 0AC_RVPER, 0AC_RVYEAR
    3. If you use the virtual InfoProvider, activate: 0BCS_REFPER, 0BCS_REFYR, 0BCS_REPMOD, 0BCS_TIMMOD also
    4. If you use any data stream in addition to the totals records, also activate: 0BCS_OBJNR1, 0BCS_OBJNR2, 0BCS_OBJNR3, 0BCS_OBJNR4, 0BCS_OBJNR5, 0BCS_OBJNR6, 0BCS_OBJNR7, 0BCS_OBJNR8
    5. If you use the data streams of the consolidation of investments, activate: 0ACQ_PER, 0ACQ_YEAR, 00BCS_BGPER, 0BCS_BGYEAR, 0BCS_COIACT, 0BCS_COIFUT, 0BCS_COIINA, 0BCS_COINRT, 0BCS_COIPGW, 0BCS_COISRT, 0BCS_COITOA, 0BCS_DPER, 0BCS_DTEQI, 0BCS_GWLC, 0BCS_GWMAN, 0BCS_GWMEM, 0BCS_GWNEG, 0BCS_GWOFFS, 0BCS_GWPROC, 0BCS_GWRED, 0BCS_LCCMU, 0BCS_LCIC, 0BCS_SEQNUM, 0CS_COIAC, 0CS_COINR
    6. If you use organization changes, activate: 0BCS_ORGCH, 0BCS_ORGCHL
    7. If you use data streams for stock and delivery data, activate 0BCS_PRGRP.
    8. If you use data streams for assets/liabilities or noncurrent assets, activate: 0BCS_ALTYPE, 0BCS_DPER, 0BCS_DYEAR, 0BCS_IPADAU, 0BCS_IPALCM, 0BCS_IPATTY, 0BCS_RETBG
    The list of the InfoObjects varies depending on the release. Of course, you do not have to activate InfoObjects that do not exist in your release.
    You do not have to activate InfoObjects that are not explicitly specified. However, if you do not activate them, some functions may not be available to you. For example, if you do not activate the 0BCS_CTFLG InfoObject and do not use it for totals records in the InfoCube, the currency translation cannot display any currency translation differences on the initializing data records.
    Attributes When you define the InfoObjects in BW, attributes can be assigned to InfoObjects. This results in the following restrictions:
    In SEM-BCS 3.1B, 3.2 and 3.5, no InfoObjects that appear in the permanent parameters of a consolidation area or are fixed in a consolidation area may be attributes of an InfoObject used in SEM-BCS.
    InfoObjects that are used as a consolidation unit must not have 0FISCVARNT as an attribute.

    Posted: Feb 24, 2007 10:56 PM in response to: moini kembly Reply E-mail this post
    Hi,
    On this phase you should determine and describe the following:
    - sources of data to be consolidated (R/3, flat files, 3rd parties)
    - methods of receiving/uploading these data into BW
    - the appropriate BW objects (characteristics, key figures, cubes etc.)
    - time characteristics to be used (is it enough to have only fiscal chars? do you need the calendar ones too?)
    - is data upload to be directly into totals cube? if not - consider the intermediate cube. What kind of data transformation is to be done during upload of data from interim cube to the totals?
    - methods of getting data into totals cube (flexible upload, reading from datastream, manual entries)
    - will you need additional financial data? if yes, which ones and how will you load this data?
    - what types of data you need to consolidate (actual, plan, forecast etc.)
    - how many chars will be given the VERSION role?
    - plan the number of consolidation areas. The best way is to have the only one. it will minimize the customization.
    - how many consolidation units hierarchies do you have (for example, if you need consolidated reports according to management and IFRS structure of the group, then you have 2 hierarchies)?
    - determine the structure of the group hierarchies.
    - what is the group's currency? is it one currency or several ones?
    - determine the currency translation methods for each data type.
    - make sure that all consolidation units have the same chart of accounts. if not, consider the mapping or transformation of the numbering of accounts.
    - consider the currency translation types for different groups of accounts in the balanse sheet (for example, fixed assets and equity - historical rate, retairned earnings - everage rate, non-monetary items - current rate etc.).
    - consider the kind of translation - periodic/cumulative for different data types and reports.
    - determine the set of consolidated reports as an output.
    - which custom characteristics you need to bring to the totals cube in order to get the reports needed?
    - which standard chars you'll have to customize and how exactly (bringing new attributes, customizing the std or creating the custom chars)
    - if you'll replace a standard char with a custom one, consider that some another chars may depend on the char to be replaced. it's especially true for a company code. if you use a custom char for a company, then you have to use the reference chars for partner company, investee company, allocation company etc.
    - will your consolidation units be one-dimension structure (by company) or it is a matrix one? if the latter, what is the second cons unit?
    - will the BCS functionality cover all your consolidation needs? if not, consider the workarounds. reclassification is to be considered as a tool # 1.
    It's just an incomplete introduction to the issues to be determined during a blue-print phase.

    Hello
    SEM BCS and ECCS both are consolidation applications of SAP System.
    ECCS is based on R/3 where as SEM BCS is based on BW. 
    There are no special circumstances, however SEM BCS is the latest version. Moreover the recent direction of SAP is towards BPC u2013

  • SEM-BCS: total transfer

    Hello,
    I need help.
    Scenario: Two companies will be merging as one and falls under the same cons group.
    Is total transfer (under COI) the correct activity to use?
    If yes, please help share what are the different settings, changes, financial data, so I can test in the SEM-BCS.
    Thank you in advance

    Hi Jouan,
    So are you trying to say that total transfer is not  for merging one company to another company scenario?
    For example company A fully acquired  company B. So we intend to merge company B'sfinancial data into company A.
    Can we use total transfer for this?
    Thank you.

    <b>BASICS OF BCS:</b>
    Basics of BCS modelling -
    Key figures -
    You are generally not permitted to change any properties of the key figures used in SEM-BCS. The only exceptions to this are options that affect the display in Business Explorer and the "Characteristic is document property" setting.
    If you want to use your own InfoObjects as key figures for totals records in the InfoCube, consider the following conditions:
    1. SEM-BCS supports four roles for key figures in the data stream for totals records: Value in group currency, value in local currency, in transaction currency and quantity. You can assign a maximum of four key figures in the data basis accordingly. If you include additional key figures in the InfoCube, these cannot be processed in the consolidation. You are not permitted to assign other roles, such as 'subassignment,' to key figures either.
    2. In SEM-BCS, the values are always stored periodically in the database. Furthermore, year-to-date values or non-cumulative values are not managed separately but result from cumulation in each case over the periods of the current fiscal year up to the current period. (This is a purely technical restriction. The consolidation functions greatly support the process with year-to-date values.) Therefore, you must define InfoObjects as cumulative values. Proceed according to the 0CS_TRN_GC, 0CS_TRN_LC, 0CS_TRN_TC, 0QUANTITY InfoObjects that are delivered.
    3. You cannot use referencing key figures in SEM-BCS. If you want to define a key figure with a reference, to transfer the technical properties of the referenced InfoObject identically, you can simply create this with a template instead. However, if you want to use the special BW function linked with referencing key figures (see the online documentation in the BW), enter the referencing key figures in the InfoCube, but assign the referenced key figures to the data basis.
    Characteristics
    With the following characteristics, you are not permitted to make changes to the properties. Once again, the only exceptions here are the options that affect the display in Business Explorer:
    0AC_DOCLN, 0AC_DOCNR, 0AC_DOCTEXT, 0AC_IVDOCNR, 0AC_IVPER, 0AC_IVYEAR, 0AC_OIDOCNR, 0AC_OIPER, 0AC_OIYEAR, 0AC_ORDOCNR, 0AC_ORPER, 0AC_ORYEAR, 0AC_RVDOCNR, 0AC_RVPER, 0AC_RVYEAR, 0BCS_AREA, 0BCS_AUTODL, 0BCS_BGPER, 0BCS_BGYEAR, 0BCS_COIACT, 0BCS_COIFUT, 0BCS_COIINA, 0BCS_COINRT, 0BCS_COIPGW, 0BCS_COITOA, 0BCS_CTFLG, 0BCS_DPER, 0BCS_DTEQI, 0BCS_GWLC, 0BCS_GWMAN, 0BCS_GWNEG, 0BCS_GWPROC, 0BCS_LCCMU, 0BCS_LCIC, 0BCS_OBJNR1, 0BCS_OBJNR2, 0BCS_OBJNR3, 0BCS_OBJNR4, 0BCS_OBJNR5, 0BCS_OBJNR6, 0BCS_OBJNR7, 0BCS_OBJNR8, 0BCS_ORGCH, 0BCS_ORGCHL, 0BCS_PRGRP, 0BCS_REFPER, 0BCS_REFYR, 0BCS_SEQNM, 0BCS_TASK, 0BCS_TASKGR, 0BCS_TASKTY, 0BCS_TAXSUP, 0CS_COIAC, 0CS_COINR, 0CS_PLEVEL, 0CURRENCY, 0DATE, 0UNIT, 0USERNAME
    Compounding -
    When you define the compounding of an InfoObject, some compound relationships are not supported:
    You cannot compound subassignments to consolidation units.
    You are not permitted to compound the document type and the (0CS_PLEVEL) posting level.
    You cannot compound noncurrent assets and assets/liabilities to 0BCS_ALTYPE. In addition, you cannot compound to a characteristic from the totals cube, with the exception of consolidation units, partners, and so on, and their higher-level characteristics.
    ODS objects / Virtual InfoProvider -
    You can generate the ODS objects for additional financial data and the virtual InfoProvider from the data basis maintenance. However, you can also create these manually and enter them in the data basis. If you do this, create the ODS objects and virtual InfoProvider with the same characteristics and structure they would have had if generated by the data basis maintenance. You can only deviate very slightly from this.
    You are not permitted to include the following InfoObjects in any InfoProvider, unless they are generated by the data basis automatically:
    0BCS_AREA, 0BCS_REFPER, 0BCS_REFYR, 0BCS_TASK, 0BCS_TASKGR, 0BCSTASKTY
    The following InfoObjects must not be contained in the InfoObject catalog, which is defined in the data basis:
    0BCS_AREA, 0BCS_REFPER, 0BCS_REFYR, 0BCS_TASK, 0BCS_TASKGR, 0BCSTASKTY, 0FISCYEAR, 0FISCPER3
    Time characteristics -
    SAP consolidation SEM-BCS ignores changes with the 0FISCPER, 0FISCPER3, 0FISCVARNT and 0FISCYEAR time characteristics. If you make changes, for instance, if you create hierarchies or attributes, these are not taken into account by SEM-BCS. Therefore, there is no maintenance in the workbench, you cannot use the hierarchies or attributes in the functions of SEM-BCS for selections and so on, and you cannot use the attributes or hierarchies for selections in BW queries.
    Characteristic values
    The following InfoObjects may have the values set by default by SAP only . You are not permitted to change them, not even by using the BW master data maintenance:
    0BCS_AREA, 0BCS_AUTODL, 0BCS_COISRT, 0BCS_CTFLG, 0BCS_DIDIEL, 0BCS_GWMEM, 0BCS_GWPROC, 0BCS_IPAAC, 0BCS_IPATTY, 0BCS_OBJNR1, 0BCS_OBJNR2, 0BCS_OBJNR3, 0BCS_OBJNR4, 0BCS_OBJNR5, 0BCS_OBJNR6, 0BCS_OBJNR7, 0BCS_OBJNR8, 0BCS_REPMOD, 0BCS_TASK, 0BCS_TASKGR, 0BCS_TASKTY, 0BCS_TAXSUP, 0BCS_TIMMOD, 0CS_COIAC, 0CS_PLEVEL
    For these InfoObjects you can only use the tools of the master data service of the Financial Basis to synchronize master data, so the master data is transferred by the SEM-BCS tables to the BI tables, but not the other way round.
    Predefined InfoObjects for individual roles
    The system automatically uses most of the InfoObjects mentioned here to activate certain data streams. However, there also are some InfoObjects that you must manually enter in the cube for the totals records. Subsequently, you must assign certain roles to these InfoObjects. These roles are allowed for these InfoObjects only, you cannot assign these roles to other InfoObjects.
    These are:
    0CS_PLEVEL for the posting level role (required)
    0BCS_CTFLG for the conversion role (optional)
    0BCS_PRGRP for the product group role (optional)
    Activate characteristics and key figures from BW Content
    Before you create a data basis of SAP consolidation, you have to activate certain InfoObjects from BW Content.
    1. You must always activate the following: 0CS_PLEVEL, 0FISCPER, 0FISCPER3, 0FISCVARNT, 0FISCYEAR.
    2. If you use documents, you must also activate: 0AC_DOCLN, 0AC_DOCNR, 0AC_DOCTEXT, 0AC_IVDOCNR, 0AC_IVPER, 0AC_IVYEAR, 0AC_OIDOCNR, 0AC_OIPER, 0AC_OIYEAR, 0AC_ORDOCNR, 0AC_ORPER, 0AC_ORYEAR, 0AC_RVDOCNR, 0AC_RVPER, 0AC_RVYEAR
    3. If you use the virtual InfoProvider, activate: 0BCS_REFPER, 0BCS_REFYR, 0BCS_REPMOD, 0BCS_TIMMOD also
    4. If you use any data stream in addition to the totals records, also activate: 0BCS_OBJNR1, 0BCS_OBJNR2, 0BCS_OBJNR3, 0BCS_OBJNR4, 0BCS_OBJNR5, 0BCS_OBJNR6, 0BCS_OBJNR7, 0BCS_OBJNR8
    5. If you use the data streams of the consolidation of investments, activate: 0ACQ_PER, 0ACQ_YEAR, 00BCS_BGPER, 0BCS_BGYEAR, 0BCS_COIACT, 0BCS_COIFUT, 0BCS_COIINA, 0BCS_COINRT, 0BCS_COIPGW, 0BCS_COISRT, 0BCS_COITOA, 0BCS_DPER, 0BCS_DTEQI, 0BCS_GWLC, 0BCS_GWMAN, 0BCS_GWMEM, 0BCS_GWNEG, 0BCS_GWOFFS, 0BCS_GWPROC, 0BCS_GWRED, 0BCS_LCCMU, 0BCS_LCIC, 0BCS_SEQNUM, 0CS_COIAC, 0CS_COINR
    6. If you use organization changes, activate: 0BCS_ORGCH, 0BCS_ORGCHL
    7. If you use data streams for stock and delivery data, activate 0BCS_PRGRP.
    8. If you use data streams for assets/liabilities or noncurrent assets, activate: 0BCS_ALTYPE, 0BCS_DPER, 0BCS_DYEAR, 0BCS_IPADAU, 0BCS_IPALCM, 0BCS_IPATTY, 0BCS_RETBG
    The list of the InfoObjects varies depending on the release. Of course, you do not have to activate InfoObjects that do not exist in your release.
    You do not have to activate InfoObjects that are not explicitly specified. However, if you do not activate them, some functions may not be available to you. For example, if you do not activate the 0BCS_CTFLG InfoObject and do not use it for totals records in the InfoCube, the currency translation cannot display any currency translation differences on the initializing data records.
    Attributes When you define the InfoObjects in BW, attributes can be assigned to InfoObjects. This results in the following restrictions:
    In SEM-BCS 3.1B, 3.2 and 3.5, no InfoObjects that appear in the permanent parameters of a consolidation area or are fixed in a consolidation area may be attributes of an InfoObject used in SEM-BCS.
    InfoObjects that are used as a consolidation unit must not have 0FISCVARNT as an attribute.

  • SEM-BCS authorization or Security Guide

    Hello,
    Last year We went Live with SEM-BCS Project.Now We need to restrict all the t-Code's in SEM-BCS. During the Go-Live We have provided  Full authorization's to everyone.Now Auditor's are bugging us to restrict the access in the SEM-BCS system.If Possible anyone can provide authorization or Security Guide for BCS Project
    Vijay

    Hello Again,
    Guide Contain's Only Authorization Object's & Default SAP Defined Roles. But Here it a different Scenario. SEM-BCS team has provided me 30 T-Codes & I am supposed to Pick all the Default Values for all the T-Codes.
    I am doing it from T-Code: SU24 & Updating it in Excel. My Question's are
    1. How to get more Knowledge on the Tcodes
    2. How it will Function
    3. In what way we can restrict the Feild values & Activities for the T-codes.
    My functional team Have no Knowledge on this Objects & what activities should be there.
    Now i need to explain them each & every T-Code & what does each feild & Activity Do. If there is any Go-Live document for this it will be really helpful for me.
    For All 30 T-codes I need to create Custom Roles &  Audit need's No Astrick for new custom Roles.
    Vijay

  • Period Ending SEM BCS

    Hi Guys
    We are close all the deletions in the period 011/2010
    To start the period 012/2010, I need to turn on some task or shut down the SEM BCS?
    Because in an elimination test period in 012/2010, the log shows the values ​​of the period 011/2010
    Any suggestions
    Tks

    It is not clear what exactly the problem. Please clarify this so we may better assist you.
    What do you mean by "the deletions in the period 011/2010"?
    In some cases where inversion documents are used, one of the first tasks in the monitor should be Period Initialization for inverting the previous period's documents where the document type is set for automatic inversion. This simply reverses certain documents from the previous period.
    For eliminations check the document type assigned to the task to determine whether or not the documents are configured to be inverted.
    Also, the eliminations are cumulative so the amounts in the log will show cumulative balances even when the document may only be the delta elimination amount.

    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:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    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.
