Hi Srinivasan,
As mentioned above, BPC as consolidation as well planning both. you need not go for separate tool for both of them.
BPC is an Account-based model whereas IP is KeyFigure-based model.
BPC has following added functionalities:
1.     BPC has highly flexible and customized Input Schedules and Reports which IP doesnu2019t have.
2.     Business Process Flows.
3.     Work Status is present.
4.     Audit trail.
For a detailed study on BPC, you can refer the following links:

  • 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.

    From a technical point of view, the version 7.0 support SQL Server 2008.
    From a performance point of view, you will have better result with BPC 7.0 + SQL Server 2008 than BPC 5.1 + SQL Server 2005.

  • What are the major differences between a Access Switch and Aggregation Switch w.r.t Carrier Ethernet domain?

    In a Carrier Ethernet domain,Could someone please help me understand what's the basic difference between Access Switch and Aggregation Switch both in terms of s/w and h/w functionalities. MEF deals OAM,CFM, EVC provisioning only at the access edge switches. Do we need to repeat all these at the aggregation level? or  is it just used for routing purpose? Do we have a separate Fault Management at the aggregation level?

  • What are the major differences between the air and the pro

    what are the major differences between the air and the pro?

    In a nutshell, the Air is a lightened, more compact system than the 13" Pro counterpart. The Air loses some hardware features to accommodate the physical downsizing.
    No FireWire port
    No built-in optical drive
    A lesser performing CPU to retain battery charge life, and adequate cooling.
    No Ethernet port
    No Kensington lock slot
    The Air does have a superior native resolution at 1440 x 900, and a standard SSD that does make up alot of the speed differential, and then some. Of course, the 13" Pro can be optionally configured with an SSD.
    You buy the Air if the physical size an weight savings are demonstrably more important than the features lost.
