Hi,
I have installed SEM-BCS 6 on our DEV server. After installation, tried customising in the workbench but the process and techinal view only shows Data basis and Consolidation Area nodes. I do not see any hierarchy for Data model, master data, consolidation functions etc. but just the two nodes.
We had done a pilot install, where we had installed the delivery example which worked fine and the process view and technical view both had the necessary nodes.
My question is that, do we need to load the delivery example to see the complete views or is there any other way to activate/generate these views?
Thanks
Neerajneeraj,
CoA - place any code. If it doesn't exist, the system will propose to create a value.
No special transactions needed.
Version 100 is not created automatically. Don't set any versions neither in data basis nor in cons area.
When you generate the data basis and a cons area and enter the system again, it starts to offer you a screen with permanent parameters. Set there version 100. After that in workbench create this version 100.
Next time when you enter the system, in the frame with parameters you'll be able to save them. Only after that the menu will appear. -
SEM-BCS - SAP Netweaver BI 7.0 and SEM-BW 600 -add on install issue
Dear BCS Consultants:
My client has installed NWeaver BI 7.0 and SEM BW 600 - add-on.
However, when I tried to access BCS, it says 'lock table overflow'.
Am I supposed to configure something before I access BCS or it is a Basis issue?
Is there any other support package to be installed?
Please guide me.
Thanks ins advance.
SAI2Yes..This is a Basis Issue. I got the same error and the Basis resolved it.
Btw...Did you guys install SEM 6.0 on top of BI 7.0 right ?
Please confirm as my client basis is in confusion on this..
Thanks in advance,

Any landscape recommendations for 2004s BI & SEM-BCS 6.0 ?
Hi,
in addition to our ERP 2005 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.
<u>Question:</u>
Should the 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.
I searched the whole sap.marketplace for this, in vain.
The installations and combination-possibilities are beautifully explained, but no official recommendations about what should all be put on one central BI and what should be better kept apart.
Rumors say you should keep SEM out of your central BI and give it its own BI, to avoid painful patch/release dependencies.
What about the "single point of truth"-conecept in one central BI then?
Thank's for any hints ...
RobertHi 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).

Hi Experts
have you worked with ERP 6.0 and SEM BCS into the ERP?
in ERP 6.0 all SEM components like BCS, BPS, CPM are in the same system as "add on" or I dont Know, is posible to work with this componentes from ERP?
I think is necessary install SEM BW and plug ins, I will apreciate your comments about this..
Thanks in advanceI realize that this is a BCS SEM forum and I do believe that OLAP is a better technology than OLTP for consolidation functionality, but there are "equivalent" BCS transactions in ECC as well. UCMON is "roughly" CX20. The consolidation menu is CX00(N) and customization is CX01(N). Both have been visible directly after entering "/n" in OK Code input field.
For more go to menu CX000 (nonCX transactions may not work due to reasons mentined earlier in the thread):

Diference between R/3 ECCS & SEM BCS
<b>Hi all,
We ve to compare the two systems R/3-ECCS and SEM-BCS in detail as we are goin for consolidation using SAP. Could you people suggest something regardin this.
It will be very nice if you could suggest some parameters based on which these to be compared.</b>The main difference is that you don't have to pay additional licence fees for R/3 EC-CS, because it is part of R/3. As long as you didn't buy mySAP ERP or the mySAP Business Suite you would have to buy an additional SEM license to use SEM BCS.
As far as I know, R/3 EC-CS offers all necessary functionality for consolidation and is a sophisticated product.
But in the end, SEM BCS will be the path to the future, even if the implementation might be not so easy today. -
Doubts on implementation of SEM BCS in version 6.0
Someone possessing the implementation model of SEM BCS in version 6.0?
tks regards<div class="jive-quote">which notes to be applied initially</div>
- OSS notes are used just to correct some errors found in the system. The system may have a different core (SAP R/3, ERP, ECC etc), patch levels, service packages installed, components installed, their release/versions, EhP functionality (if any) and so on. Everything is very individual.
<div class="jive-quote">which is not setting standarts</div>

Preparation for Consolidation in SEM-BCS.
Hello All,
Im implementing SEM - BCS (BW-based). I have the following versions:
- R/3: SAP ECC 6.0
- BW: 7.0
- SEM: 6.0
What do I have to customize in R/3 in order to extract the correct data to BW?
Do I have to do all the customization in transaction SPRO (Enterprise Controlling -> Integration: Preparation for Consolidation)?
I know that I have to create the companies and assign them to the company codes. I also have to create group chart of accounts and assign it to the transactional chart of accounts.
Can I do this in the account master data or do I have to have a Financial Statement Version for the Group?
Is it necessary to maintain Transaction Types for Consolidation?
Do I have to customize the Consolidation Staging Ledger and extract the data from here to BW?
I think I have to customize all this, but because all this transactions are in EC-CS customizing and I want to implement SEM - BCS (in BW), Im not sure if this is the right path.
Can anyone help me?
Regards,

GANSHA,
what you are telling me is:
- I don´t have to do the customization in ECC. The only thing I have to do is, identify the tables and extract the data I need to BW.
But this way, how does the system know, which postings are from group companies or not?
The company code in R/3 is equivalent to company (consolidation unit role) in BCS. The Group companies are created in BCS and the companies in BCS are under those group companies.
If I were you, I would check whether Fiscal Year Variant is same across all company codes in R/3. I would also check whether parallel currencies are activated or not. Non-activation of parallel currency is not issue, but I will try to understand what are all the currencies involved and the currency translation flow.
I have created the companies in ECC in order to fill the "Trading Partner" field in the master data ( vendor, customer and G/L accounts) and to use on FI postings.
Yes, you have taken the right steps.
I have created the transaction types in ECC in order to use them on FI postings.
None of this is necessary? I dont have all the company codes in SAP, some of the data will be uploaded to BW by file.
The transaction types in ECC are different from the transaction types (also known as Movement Types) in BCS. You will continue to maintain the FI transaction types.
Regarding the chart of accounts, I dont have a group chart of accounts. For what I understand theres two ways:
- creating a group chart of accounts in ECC and in BW will be available as part of the GL account master data
or
- creating Financial statement items for consolidation in ECC, Build a Financial Statement Version for the Group (linking the operational chart of accounts to the consolidation items).
I think, this is the only way for me to use the consolidation staging ledger (totals table GLT3)? Or am I wrong?
What you are telling me is that I dont have to do this in ECC, but in BCS customizing?
Im confused ... please help me!!!
Helena
In your ECC, whether GLT3 table is activated? In many clients' companies, GLT3 table is not activated. The GL totals data is available in BSEG table.
If you do not have Group COA/ Group GL accounts maintained now, there are many ways to get GL totals data with Group GL level info added. You have already mentioned the steps.
One more method is create a custom mapping table of Operational GL accounts with Group GL accounts outside R/3 (to be maintained as part of BW) and make your R/3 GL totals data to flow thru this table, so that the final data in BW is available in both operational GL accounts and Group GL accounts. Developers will be able to help you.

FI-GL Activating for Consolidation SEM BCS
Hello together,
can somebody tell me in a few steps how to activate the FI-GL (0FI_GL_6) that it can be used for consolidation in SEM BCS. My problem is that FI_GL_6 (and also FIGL_C10 for new FI-GL) have not all required fields for consolidation in SEM BCS, especially movement type is missing.
I know how to use the BCS data collection functionality "load of data stream" and I also know how to activate the BI Content for FI (and how to connect the data basis from BCS with the "FI Cube" via source data basis).
But how can I prepare the FI Cube (DataSource, InfoSource) that it concludes all neccessary informations?
I need following InfoObjects in the BI Content: how to?
these InfoObjects are not containend in the standard FI-GL Business Content...or do you know other possibilities for getting FI-GL data in BW and ready for consolidation in BCS?
0PCOMPANY
0MOVE_TYPE
nicht notwendig
0FUNC_AREA
0COMP_CODE
0PROFIT_CTR
0COUNTRY
0PCOMPANY
0GL_ACCOUNT
Thanks for supportHi MP M,
Hi Install all the components related to that flow.I mean Datasource,Transfer rules,Infosource,Update rules,Cube.Then nothing is missing in this flow which are in BI Content.
For the Info objects not in the flow
Search them individually from the BI Content and Install them.Later you map them respective fields in the transfer rules manually.Then maintain update rules to them.
Hope this helps

CONSOLIDATION EC-CS Vs SEM-BCS
< MODERATOR: Message locked. Please read the [Rules of Engagement|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/home/rulesofEngagement] before posting next time. no ALL CAPS in the subject. I'd also recommend that you post in the Consolidations forum instead of here.>
Hi All,
Please explain me the difference btween
1. CONSOLIDATION SEM BCS AND CONSOLIDATION
EC CS.
2. under what circumstances each SEM BCS or EC CS will be used.
3. if possible plz give an example or a scenario.
thanks in advance.
Regards
SirishaHi,
BCS is Business consolidation and Simulation and EC CS is Consolidation and Simulation in ECC 6.0 BCS is entirely out side R/3 and EC CS is R/3, here they have included some features in R/3 for consolidation and at the same time BCS is out side R/3 and has more features....while taking the reports then you take help of BW... end of the day you will get the data from R/3 even for BCS also...
Hope understood
Thanks,

I want to set up SEM BCS system

Multiple Fiscal Year Variant in the same client in SEM-BCS...
I have already looked at some earlier threads relating to this but didn't get a convincing answer to what I would like to know.
We have had a working SEM-BCS system with fiscal year variant K4. There was no need for defining leading fiscal year variant and none was defined. SAP, by default takes, K4 as the leading fiscal year variant.
Now there is a requirement for going on a different fiscal year variant for which we have created another databasis (there were a few other reasons besides these) with the same InfoObjects that we used earlier but with different fixed parameters, one of which is fisc year variant V9. Soon, we started experiencing bizarre dumps in the configuration which ultimately convinced me to define a leading fiscal year variant. I was reluctant to do so because there is a lot of old data (which will become 'historical' from new data basis point of view) from the working system on K4 that would still need to be reported on even when we have new BCS solution in the new fiscal year variant V9. That is not going away. There is a need to keep the old data for reporting (hence the rationale for a different data basis among a few others).
Since earlier Master Data was configured in the old fisc year variant K4, now I have defined the leading fiscal year variant as V9 so that MDF can appropriately identify the period dependency.
I would like to know if any of you have had an unexpected behavior from the system going forward. Does the system dump out when you try to read the old data (from earlier K4).
I have tried to explain the dilemma as clearly and succinctly as possible but if you need more clarifications, please do let me know.
I would really appreciate your help in this.Is your requirement is that K4 to be changed to Z5.
The best way you can do it is in the transformation. Instead of directmapping,
Write a code like this in the trransformation to the cube
If SOURCE FIELD - 0FISCVAR eq 'k4'.
SOURCE FIELD - 0FISCVAR = 'Z5'.
I dont think we can change th data in the query being displayed. we can change the keyfigure values in query by frmulas etc...
but for a characteristic, i think we will be able to restrict bt not change the value.
to obtain the requirement, w have to get the data change before query designer that is in the cube leve.
Hope this helps,
Sri...
