New GL or BPC

What is the best way forward - to 1st implement New GL and then Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) or if BPC is implemented 1st, what will the impact be once the New GL is activated?
Your view's are appreciated. Tks

Hello,
BPC is a detached environment and you do not have any link with your ECC.
You can go and activate your New GL Accounting. To activate New GL, BPC is not a pre-requisite. To activate BPC, New GL is not a pre-requisite.

  • NEW TO SAP BPC - Advice on Data Management Packages

    Hi,
    I am an experienced Microsoft BI User, but am new to SAP BPC.
    I am working on a project that has required me to create custom SSIS packages for my client. To date my packages transform / cleanse and format the source into a clean CSV file, that requires no further intervention from the user, other than to use the standard SAP BPC Import Routine, with a simple Transformation file.
    In order to fully automate the process, I would like my Custom package to automatically invoke the Standard import package without any user based intervention.
    Can anyone advise on this?
    I have considered writing further logic in my custom package that would completely bypass SAP BPC Data Manager, and insert the information direclty into the Fact Tables, taking into consideration any members that don't exist in the Dimensions. However, I would prefer not to go down this route unless absolutely necessary.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction, so that I can call a clear routine from within my custom package, that would invoke a SAP BPC package /task to clear certain data from the fact table, and then call another Package / task that would update the Fact table based on a fully prepared csv file.
    Many thanks

    You could modify your custom package to perform all the steps thru BPC import and have the user initiate the Package from the BPC Data Manager.  You would just need to add a MODIFYSCRIPT variable (see the standard IMPORT package as an example) and add the BPC tasks required to Convert/Load that data your package already prepares.
    I have had prior success having a custom package initiated from within the BPC Data Manager extract data from an external data source (ie: Oracle), use user provided runtime input to customize data extraction parameters, manipulate the extracted data, and import it into BPC.
    Unfortunately I've never attempted to initiate a BPC task without the package being initiated from within BPC.  But I would surmise that if you provide the proper values for the individual BPC Tasks (ie: Convert and Load) required properties (ie: AppSet, App, User,...), I cannot think why it would not work.

  • New Features of BPC 7.5 MS over BPC 7.0 MS

    How can I find documentation on the enhancements or fixes that are released with BPC 7.5 MS.  We are currently using BPC 7.0 MS.
    Sorry for the basic navigation question.

    Steven - See the following SAP Notes for bug fixes and features.  SP3 is the first release Generally Available to customers.
    You can also search for notes using EPM-BPC-MS as the product code and Patch as the search term for a full list of patches and bug fixes - that might give you the original 7.5 M and SP 1 and 2.

  • Add new user in BPC

    When I add new user , I am not able to select my preffered server. Instead its using some old server. HOw to rectify.
    Please assist.

    Hi,
    What kind of authentication are you using? CMS or Active directory?
    Check for the servers and domains entered in the Server Manager.
    Check if they are, as you want it to be.

  • "Email address is invalid" when adding a new user to BPC 7.0

    Hello Experts,
    I was adding a user with an apostrophe in his email (like "John.O'Hara (at) mycompany.com") and BPC didn't like that character with "Invalid email address" message. I've removed an apostrophe, added user and then modified email address directly in the tblUsers table.
    Here is the question:
    Is it possible that apostrophe would pop-up as an error later on in other modules of the application?
    Thanks,
    Akim
    P.S. I can't modify user via Admin Console if apostrophe is in the email address... And it doesn't display user details when I click on that user name.

    SAP BPC doesn't allow you to use some chars insight of ID of users or dimensions members because it can cause some errors later on. I don't advice you to force the insert direct into table because later on you can have problems.
    I will provide just an example:
    Single quote is used to delimitate strings into SQL Server.
    So oifyou used insight of ID you can arrive in the situation where the system will perform a select like:
    select * from table where userid ='John O'Hara'
    The result willbe that actually no users meet this criteria.
    This will happen because actually the condition will be just: userid = 'John O' the rest will be truncate.
    So the BPC doesn't allow you to insert some chars into ID or other field just to avoid errors like into my example.
    Kind Regards

  • Adding New Records Using BPC Data Manager

    Hi All,
    Thanks for reading my post.
    I have a requirement in which file format is as given below
    Account|Category|Time|RptCurrency|Amount|Quantity
    I am able to upload Amount into my application, I need to update Quantity into another account. I have tried options using *NEWCOL(A) with combinations of with and without Header file format. In case of without header my Transformation is as following:
    ============================================================
    *OPTIONS               
    FORMAT = DELIMITED               
    HEADER = NO               
    DELIMITER =                
    SKIP = 0               
    SKIPIF =               
    CREDITNEGATIVE=NO               
    VALIDATE_RECORDS=YES               
    *MAPPING               
    ACCOUNT = *COL(1)               
    CATEGORY = *COL(2)               
    DATASRC = *COL(3)               
    ENTITY = *COL(4)               
    RPTCURRENCY = *COL(5)               
    Time=*COL(6)               
    AMOUNT=*COL(7)               
    *CONVERSION               
    ============================================================
    I need to add another Mapping to read the Quantity coming in the file but moment I do that, BPC Transformation  reports error that Account dimension is already mapped and in second case when I have two columns in the file   with Header, Data manager reports error "DUPLICATE SIGNEDDATA"
    I may end up having another dimension to store quantity, will appreciate your comments which can be give me some hints to fix this issue. 
    Regards,
    Umesh

    Umesh,
    What you are trying to achieve is not standard possible. You have in fact two columns with measure data in it, this is not possible with some workarounds.
    One possibilitie is that you create a ssis package that in fact loads in the file twice, each go with each own transformation/conversion files, the first go will then load in the amounts, the second the quantity. You have to make sure that the second go is a merge instead of a clear and replace.
    Another possibilitie is that you create a ssis that  first load in the delivered file in a staging table, combine the amount and quantity table, dump the records to a tempfile and than load in this file using one transformation/conversion file.
    I have an example package that does the second possibilitie (never looked/used this package myself, just got it in my library), please drop me an email if you want this example.

  • New SP for BPC MS v7.5 SP4 or possible bug

    Hello Everybody,
    I'm configuring a BPF that has enabled reviewers for each step, but even the reviewer of the step can't enable the next one so i think there could be a bug in the web interface or maybe a new SP after the 4th is needed to fix this, does anyone has idea why could this be happening?
    Thanks in advance for your answers

    Hi Edward,
    The new 7.5 ApShell only contains the 2 applications (PLANNING and RATE) to simplify AppSet development with a reduced number of applications in ApShell.
    Also, 7.5 ApShell no longer comes with the following packages but you can easily create them if needed.
    - Allocation
    - Calculate Ownership
    - IC Elimination
    - ICBooking
    - ICData
    - Legal Consolidation
    - Opening Balances
    - Run CalcAccount
    The IFRS Starter Kit also has the correct script logic and packages that you are looking for.
    Thanks,
    John

  • Cannot find any domain in the add new user screen in BPC NW platform

    Hi,
    While adding new users in BPC NW, I can't see any value in the Avaialable domains dropdown. Hence I am unable to add any users. I am not sure if I have missed any any step during BPC installation.
    Can anyone please help and suggest the cause of this error and also suggest the remedial action.
    Thanks...

    The BPC Installation guide says:
    Make sure that the server is configured on the domain or a trusted domain by going to My
    Computer --> Properties --> Computer Name --> Change. Make sure the correct domain is specified.
    Also...
    In this step, you define the .NET service user that is needed to log on to ApShell and run Server
    Manager.
    Note
    This user must be a Windows domain user that installs the .NET server component, is a local
    administrator on the machine, has initial access to ApShell (no task security is checked for this
    user), is able to browse the Active Directory, and is used to log on to Server Manager. It can be
    any user that exists on the domain on which the .NET server is installed. You can verify the
    settings in table UJA_SVR_DEFAULT.
    a) Stop the IIS and SAP Business Planning and Consolidation instances using the stoposoft.bat
    file. For more information, see Tips [page 27].
    b) Go to transaction SE38 and run program UJA3_WRITE_SYS_USERS.
    c) Assign a single domain user to all user types:
    BPC SysAdminUser Domain\<user name>
    BPC AdminUser Domain\<user name>
    BPC User Domain\<user name>
    Also...
    The user who creates the initial application set must be the domain user specified in the sysadmin
    field of the UJA3_WRITE_SYS_USERS program.
    Also...
    On the .NET server, check the C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file to ensure that a fully qualified domain
    and an IP resolution exists.

  • BPC 7.5 Unable to add user

    Hi All,
    After installation of SAP BPC 7.5 for Netweaver I am facing an issue while adding a new user. I am getting the following error whenever I click on 'Add new user' in BPC:
    "Could not find function module UJE_API_GET_ALL_TEAMS_DATA"

    Hi Abhik,
    Have you verified that your Netweaver BPC (ABAP) component, .NET component, and client component are all on the same support package level? It sounds like your .NET/Web server might be on a different level than the ABAP component.

  • How to get a parameter from BPC and use it in ABAP program

    Hello gurus!
    I got a problem...
    SAP BPC will send parameters such as year, division, category, company code and so on via script logic to SAP BW.
    I need to get these parameters from BPC and use them in a ABAP program as a filter.
    This ABAP program will do several routines and return new values to BPC. It must be made on ABAP and I need to filter data to avoid performance issues.
    Does anybody knows how to do it? or have a example of it?
    Thank you in advance.
    Regards,
    Rubens Kumori

    Hello, I'm looking for a suggest.
    I need to pass two parameters (users can input them in a data manager package in bpc) to a BAdI.
    In this BAdI I write a code that store those parameters in a InfoObject.
    The problem is:
    - one parameter is for CATEGORY value. CATEGORY is a dimension of the application and I read the value with a code like this:
          READ TABLE it_cv INTO l_s_it_cv
               WITH TABLE KEY dim_upper_case = 'C_CATEGORY'.
    - other parameter is a generic DATE. this parameter is not a dimension of the application and I don't know how I can retrieve this value in BAdI.
          READ TABLE it_cv INTO l_s_it_cv
               WITH TABLE KEY dim_upper_case = '.....'.
    The data manager dynamic script is:
    PROMPT(SELECTINPUT,,,,"%CATEGORY_DIM%")
    PROMPT(TEXT,%SELECTED_DAY%,"Write the date (format YYYYMMDD)",)
    I also have a dynamic constant that assign the name %CATEGORY_DIM% to "C_CATEGORY" value.
    Can anyone help me?
    thanks a lot

  • Authorization Issue in Opening BPC client 7.0

    Hi All,
    I am very new to this BPC and configuration.
    Here is my situation.
    We have a BPC server and client in the same host connected with BW system.
    All configuration were made and was up and running fine. since dynamic ip was allocated to the system the old IP got changed bcoz of which we were not able to connect to the bpc system.
    So we made changes for the IP in the BPC webiste properties, but got error saying that domain\bpcadmin user does not have administrator rights. (the mentioned user is in admin groups )
    Since we cannot figure out the solution we got back the OLD ip and made it static.
    Still we are facing the same error.
    domain\bpcadmin is used during the installation.
    all the problems started after the IP issue, now the old ip is back.
    Need some help as soon as possible.
    Thanks and Regards
    Jaianandh V

    HI Jaianandh,
    Your problem its not related  to your IP (the best practice is to let it static) , the problem is that you are trying to access the bpc server with a user that is not the administrator of the application, so what you have to do is log in to the server with the user that you configure as the system administrator when you installed the application (see page 20 of the bpc 7.0 nw installation manual ) ( this user has to be also windows administrator). If you do not remember the user you can enter to transaction se38 and run the program UJA3_WRITE_SYS_USERS and select the new user that is going to be the application administrator (Domain\user).
    Hope this helps,

    Hi Experts,
    I am new to SAP BPC NetWeaver. I want to know u2026.
    While creating a Characteristic InfoObject for Master Data in SAP NetWeaver BW. It creates
    /BIC/P<InfoObject Name>          P table or Attribute Table

    My query is:
    Does this SAP BPC 10 or 7.5 or 7.0 NW dimension, which is equivalent to an InfoObject in SAP BW creates the same tables in the background in SAP BW.
    An InfoCube of SAP BW is connected with the Dimension Table. This Dimension Table is connected with the SID Table. This SID Table is connected with the Characteristic, which is connected with Attribute Table, Text Table, and Hierarchy Table. Does this SAP BPC 10 or 7.5 or 7.0 NW cube follow the same structure.
