Implementation of SEM 6.0 as comapred to SEM 4.0

Hi,
I've worked on R/3 4.7 + SEM BCS 4.0. I've fair idea about how the data flows from R/3 to BW and then BW to SEM.
1. Could you advise in case of ECC6.0+ SEM BCS 6.0 how is this set up different? My question is more like what is different in the data flow from transactional system (ECC) to BCS just because we have ECC in place of R3.
2. Probably we have different tables to read from ECC and the extractor to BW might be different are there any other basic differences?
3. Also since we have new GL do we get rid of the tables like GLPCT/GLPCA we have at the moment?
4. In present system there can be mismatch between GL and PCA tables for various reasons (like 1 KEK not done properly). Do we get rid of these issues as well in SEM 6.0 because of ECC?
Please advise.
Thanks and best regards,
SSC
*points will be rewared to suitable answers.

Hi,
If you are already upgrading to ECC6.0( only new GL), then you should have the SEM 6.0 add-on this.In the new general ledger concept from ECC6., the special ledger concept is withdrawn and the GL itself will have consolidated data for GL requirement as well as Special ledger requirment.
All you have to do an BI add-on for this.( also you can go for BI with SEM add-on)The installation of SAP NetWeaver components/usage types BW/BI, XI/PI, EP, MI, and/or DI together with SAP ECC in the same system instance (the same SID) is technically possible but some restrictions apply: Refer SAP Note 855534 @ service.sap.com
Installation guide of SEM/ECC 6.0 on BI NW04´s.
SAP Notes:
Overview: Notes on Add-On FINBASIS - 438520
Overview: Notes on Add-On SEM-BW - 186299
Installation FINBASIS 600 on SAP NW AS 7.0= 852446
Installation SEM-BW 600 on SAP NW AS 7.0-852447
Installation SAP SEM 6.0- 855383
Also pls chk the SAP Note :852971- SEM BCS Integration with New GL, will explain the following.
You want to update your financial data in the new G/L accounting with all additional account assignments that are necessary for the consolidation and you want to set up an integrated data transfer to SEM-BCS.
Solution
The structure of the new G/L accounting already contains the most important fields for a company or profit center consolidation in the delivery status:
o     Trading partner
o     Partner profit center
o     Consolidation transaction type
You can therefore perform an integrated date transfer from the new G/L accounting to BW when you use the extractor and then subsequently import the data to SEM-BCS.
Hope this helps,

    Go to your application where you want to use the new keyboard and select the keyboard "Español" by touching and holding the key with the globe on it.
    Now, touch and hold the comma.

  • SEM-BCS  Enh 5.0 in SEM-BW 605 as per 1171344

    any rumors on when a new version ([currently 7|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1171344]) is coming to the market?
    looking at prior versions it should happen any time now.

    HI Greg,
    Are you trying to give us a clue on something about to happen?
    I'm very interested in EHP5 and by co-incidence I just checked again today:
    1171344 - last updated in July 2010, there is high level info on the two functions to be provided inside EHP5,
    There is also a little information here: https://websmp109.sap-ag.de/erp-ehp
    However, we are still lacking the low level details.
    1120848 - Restricted usage of SEM-BW 7.00 or FINBASIS 7.00 last updated December 2007 confirms that SEM-BW 7 is and FINBASIS 7 are specifically for "Banking Services" and not to be confused with upgrades to SEM-BCS, which will be release 605, EHP5 for BCS.
    NB By looking at some other OSS notes, I found this info on what looks like Support Pack (SP) 4 of SEM-BW 605:
    https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/spat/index.htm?sp1=SAPK-60504INSEMBW
    There are 15 OSS notes in there for BCS specifically, so this suggests that some people are on release 605.
    Thereafter a little fiddling with the address bar led me to the equivalent 60504 for FINBASIS, but there were no notes for BCS.
    I worked backwards to here:
    https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/spat/index.htm?sp1=SAPK-60503INFINBASIS
    There are two BCS notes here (drill down to FIN-FB-WB)
    So, this suggests that EHP5 is already live at various ramp up sites, and SPs are being created to address issues
    When will it be on general release is still my question
    - have you got some insider knowledge to share?

    Hi Guys,
      I have implemented the SSO for BW 3.5 and SEM 4.0 with Enterprise Portal 5.0. For BW work very well, but with SEM it is still asking the user and pass. The strange is if I execute first a BW report and next access SEM it work, but if i execute the SEM first, it doesn't.
    Any help?
    Regards,

    the form field names should be sap-user and sap-password for user id and pwd and you should also send the sap-client to direct to particular client and sap-language can be passed else system will take the default language

  • SEM / BW upgrade advise required - Please help urgently

    Hi,
    We have migrated from a different company (January 2006) where they were using SEM -BPS and BCS. After the migration, we are not using SEM. Our BW version is 3.10. Our SAP R/3 version is 4.6C.
    Now, We are planning to implement SEM- BCS. Our existing system component informations are as below.
    SAP_BW - Release 3.10 (Support pack 22)
    SEM_BW -Release 3.50 (Support pack17)
    SAP_BASIS - Release 6.20 (Support pack 54)
    SAP_ABA -Release 6.20 (Support pack 54)
    PI_BASIS - 2004_1_620 (Support pack 10)
    FINBASIS -200 (Support pack18)
    BI_CONT - 330 (Support pack 17)
    We have the following questions. Please advise.
    1. Understood that the mainstream maintenance for BW 3.10 has ended on December 2006 ( The same for SAP_SEM: 3.50 also). So, If we upgrade to BW3.5 (Netweaver 2004), whether we will get the SEM 4.00 along with the upgrade so that we will have everything BW 3.5 and SEM 4.0 in a single box?
    2. I am still seeing that the SEM_BW version 3.50 in the system component informations. Does that mean that we still have SEM components within BW 3.10?  If yes, can we upgrade this to SEM 4.00 so that our BW system will get  upgrade to BW 3.5?
    3. Or what is the alternative, you suggest so that we will have SEM4.0
    We are confused. Please advise at your earliest.
    Please also send some links where we can compare the versions for BW/ SEM.
    Thanks .

    Hi,
    With BW 3.5 you'll need to upgrade SEM to SEM 4.0.
    With 3.1 you'll have SEM components if you had installed SEM earlier. You can upgrade SEM separately in this case. Check the release notes to make sure that it dosen't require any upgrade or patch upgrades to your existing BW components.
    For your BCS implementation, check what functionality you need, because most of the functionality that BCS projects use are available with BW 3.5 and SEM 4.0. So chances are that even f just upgrade SEM to ver 4.0 you might still have to upgrade your BW to ver 3.5 in order to utilize the full functionality.
    You can search this forum for links on the upgrade and comparisions. Other good sources will be the release notes for upgrades on the SAP site.

  • SAP BW release versus SEM release

    Hello,
    I am currently on BW 3.1 version and R/3 Enterprise. I want to install SEM for SEM-BCS BW based implementation. Are all the SEM versions "compatible" with BW 3.1? If not, which is the most recent SEM release that is?
    Which SEM version is recomendable for SEM BCS BW based implementation if I can't go for the last one?
    Would I get a huge benefit if upgrade 3.1 to Netweaver 2004/s before think about SEM BCS BW based implementation?

    Hi,
    I would rather look for this information in OSS notes.
    What I know is:
    <i>Q: Are all the SEM versions "compatible" with BW 3.1</i>
    -- No, the latest version of SEM (particularly, SEM-BCS 6.0) is not compatible.
    <i>Q: Which SEM version is recomendable for SEM BCS BW based implementation if I can't go for the last one?</i> 
    -- The SEM-BCS 4.0 is mature and stable release.
    <i>Q: Would I get a huge benefit if upgrade 3.1 to Netweaver 2004/s before think about SEM BCS BW based implementation?</i>
    -- Actually, NW 2004s already works with SEM-BCS 6.0. So, the question is irrelevant.
    Correct me if I'm wrong.

The company is already implemented SAP -4.6c and wants to go for consolidation implementation. Hence, client is in dilemma for choosing software. Can anybody face the situation where SEM-BCS is superior than Hyperion software. if so, Please forward me the presentation/ comparison to support the SEM-BCS implementation.

    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

    Hi Sorabh,
    Here is the extract from sap site.
    SAP Strategic Enterprise Management (SAP SEM) delivers end-to-end capabilities to support the entire performance management life cycle
    this has following facilities:
    Business planning and simulation -- Capabilities for strategic planning, financial statement planning, and investment planning enable you to update budgets more frequently, meet changing business conditions, and combine traditional, bottom-up budgeting with top-down strategic planning. SAP SEM also encourages a more collaborative budgeting and planning process -- while helping you integrate and align strategic, operational, and financial plans.
    Business consolidation -- Capabilities for currency translations, automated eliminations, and performance calculations support financial reporting standards required for consolidations, such as U.S. and local Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and International Accounting Standards (IAS). SAP SEM also helps you implement management consolidations based on user-defined organizational units and user-defined hierarchies.
    Strategy and performance management -- SAP SEM helps you translate strategies and objectives into meaningful plans for every segment and department of your enterprise. Capabilities for use of the Balanced Scorecard, value-based management, and risk management enable business users to make proactive decisions and understand how individual functions or organizations are contributing to the broader corporate strategy.
    Stakeholder relationship management -- SAP SEM provides support for communicating enterprise strategy, current plan data, and strategic initiatives to the different stakeholder groups. Capabilities for portal-based investor polling and information collection, as well as analysis and modeling of stakeholder feedback, facilitates the two-way communication needed to incorporate stakeholders into strategic management processes.

  • Future in SEM.....

    Hi.
    Im a FICO & SD , Consultant. But in my new Job I have to develope other area in SAP consulting, as a added value.
    Im thinking SEM is an option.
    Im read some about it: (Overview-BW SEM- & a little in its five components)
    I would like some information about his future:
    SEM vs BW or another new components?,
    How is SEM in the market?,
    Is SEM  representative Module in SAP?,
    Which module, could be better to starting?
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi Neo,
    At present I am on SEM Project, and we have implemented SEM for two company codes and last one is in progress..
    You, being a FICO and SD consultant, as I understood that, SEM is more into
    BPS, Management Cockpit and CPM where, consultant are expected to have
    very through understanding of business process in all the areas of FICO ,
    PP, MM ( includin inventory ) and ofcourse SD..for you this would be right choice..
    As far as market is concern, it seems to me that, the near future for SAP would be
    going for SEM where it includes of various planning and strategic analysis and performance measurement ( which is known as ) measure builder and many more..
    so, if you decide to come into SEM better get some idea of BW/SEM components
    along with your R/3 exp.
    Good luck..
    Cheers,
    Pattan.

  • SEM-BW 604 and FINBASIS 604

    Hi All,
    We are upgrading out BW 3.5 system to BW NetWeaver 7.01. Later on we also plan to implement BCS in this system.
    I am wondering whether I should upgrade to SEM-BW 604 rather than to SEM-BW 600 ?
    Also, should I upgrade to FINBASIS 604 directly rather than FINBASIS 600 ?
    What actually FINBASIS do in a BW NetWeaver system ?
    Appreciate. Thanks.

    Hi Handoko,
    SEM-BCS comes from ERP actually and is logically located to ERP (History: EC-CS is a fix part of ERP).
    SEM-BCS uses a lot of BW-metholody and techically it is therefore very near to BW.
    FINBASIS and SEM-BW are a part of this and always stick together. So, just do a twin-action, never one side.
    SAP started to use EHPs (also EPs called - Enhancement Packages) to upgrade their products which are based on ECC.
    SEM-BCS also gets its updates via EHPs. The base is 6.00 and every EHP changes the .XX number. So, 6.04 is the 6.00 SEM-BCS with EHP 4. The EHPs include a lot of new functions and the support packages going with that (FINBASIS and SEM-BCS) are very recommended. They include the last status regarding SAP notes.
    I would upgrade to 6.04 and get the newsets support package level. But you don't have to use the business functions of EHP4. You can select them seperatly. Check the notes for that, they describe more details.
    Best Regards

  • SEM releases

    Hi,
    I'am working in a implementation proyect. We are installaing ECC6 and BI 7.0.
    I just checked the SEM release and I see:
    Component: SEM-BW
    Release: 600
    Level: 0012
    Support Package: SAPKGS6012
    Description: SEM-BW 600 : Add-On Installation
    When looking for a note in the marketplace, I see that there are releases 602, 603 and 700.
    does any body knows any reazon for us to be installing an older SEM version?? have we made a mistake???

    Hi Mauricio,
    I think you have installed the SEM6.0 version. If you SEM BI engine is on the Netweaver 2004s then you can have the SEM 7.0 version installed in place of SEM-BW 600 .

  • Areas in SEM

    Hi,
    Iam working as a BW consultant, Iam interested in SEM.Iam a commerce graduate.If i can Jump to SEM FI/CO is necessary. If yes knowledge or any working exp.
    In SEM BW or FI/CO which contribute more.
    In SEM how many modules.
    BR

    Hi,
    SEM modules are: BPS (Planning), BCS (Consolidation), CPM (Performance Mgmt) and SRM (Stakeholders Mgmt).
    The widely used modules are BCS, BPS and CPM.
    Surely your BW knowledge is a very good foundation for SEM. The other vital knowledge will be on SAP's FICO, that too depends on the SEM module, your FICO experience should help. For example, BPS needs good working knowledge of CCA, PCA, CO-PA with particular emphasis on Planning. BCS needs good understanding of EC-CS or FI-LC module's implementation.
    As you could see, it needs both. Since you have one, when starting over to SEM, concentrate on the missing piece. Being Commerce grad, you have right footing.
    My suggestion is to be choose a sub-module for more high-end expertise within SEM. For example, I have chosen BPS, since my vast r3 exposure is on planning process both in FICO and Logistics. This approach will put you on niche.
    HTH,

    Nataraj.
