SAP BPC 10 Certification - Functional

Hi
I have strong functional & domain expertise in FICO.
I am looking forward to train & certify myself in BPC. My basic understanding is BPC is having both technical & functional expertise.
From certification point of view do we have 2 certifications or is it only one certification covering both functional & technical.
My knowledge in BI & Technical is almost nil. How i can prepare myself in this case.
Regards
Aravind

Hi Aravind,
Considering your experience, you should go for functional certification in BPC.
Please search certifications here
https://training.sap.com/us/en/training-options/certification
The following is the latest SAP BPC Certification:
https://training.sap.com/v2/certification/c_epmbpc_10-sap-certified-application-associate---sap-business-planning-and-consolidation-100-g/
Unless your basics are strong, easy not an easy exam to pass. You must have been trained and read the materials.

Ravi

My second question is what is the job demand for SAP BPC?
Thanks in advance.

Saida,
Where did you get the information from that "you have to select in which version you need a certification, there may be 2 seperate test for those two" ???
Look at the link below for SAP BPC Certification C_EPMBPC_10.
https://training.sap.com/shop/certification/c_epmbpc_10-sap-certified-application-associate---sap-business-planning-and-consolidation-100-g/certification-details/
It clearly states that candidate needs to have knowledge on both versions -
It validates that the Associate Consultant has a good sound knowledge and understanding of SAP Business Planning and Consolidation in SAP Business Planning and Consolidation 10.0, version for SAP NetWeaver and SAP Business Planning and Consolidation 10.0, version for the Microsoft platform.

SAP BPC Certification

Hi Experts,
I am not sure if this is the right forum to discuss SAP BPC related queries and about certification for the same. If not please direct me to right forum.
So here is my query regarding certification.
Looked at SAP's curricula.. I can find BPC 7.5 certification. But it requires one to have attended both netweaver and MS version.
Do we know if there is only netweaver based certifcation?
Thanks,
Arun

Hi Arun,
Not that I am aware of, if there is a seperate Certification for NW and MS versions available.
However you can go through the link in which you can find SAP BPC 7.0 and BPC 7.5 Certification details.

How to use the RateEntity dimension in SAP BPC?

Hello everbody,
I am implementing a consolidation process using SAP BPC. I want to use the RateEntity dimension, to translate a same currency into different exchange rates depending on the company.
I want the company which ID is GFU (which is from Brazil) in LegalEntity dimension is converted using a special exchange rate. I have added a GFU member in RateEntity dimension, and I have entered the exchange rates for the member GFU and for the member Global in RateEntity dimension.
But the problem is that after I run the FX Restatement package, converted data for this company is not the proper one, because Global exchange rates have been used instead of GFU exchange rates. Does anybody know why? Do I have to do anything else?
Thank you very much for your time

Do you see the search functionality in the upper left of the screen?
Okay, now type in ecatt, press enter and in the next screen filter on blogs.

SAP BPC MS 7.5 with Extended Analytic Analyzer and EPM connector

Hi experts,
I need your inputs regarding Extended Analytic Analyzer add ins.
I installed the SAP Business Object Extended Analytic Analyzer hoping to integrate the Xcelsius in SAP BPC MS 7.5
I am following the HTG to integrate but got lost.
In EPM connector steps, I cannot find the option from OPERATION TYPE: Retrieve data using Analyzer Report.
The only options available under operation type are
EPM Report
Retrieve Environments
Retrieve Models
Retrieve Dimensions
Retrieve Dimension Members
Input Data
Retrieve Business Process Flows
Retrieve Context
Retrieve Members Property Values
RetrieveText From Library
It doesn't include the option Retrieve data using Analyzer Report.
Im wondering if there are different version of the epm connector? Was my EPM connector differs from the HTG?
And also in Excel under Extended Analytic Analyzer, the function =GETREPORTDEFINITION() is missing
Please help me on this guys..
Thanks in advance.

It seems a very good oportunity to use FIM.
FIM was designed especially for exchange data betweeen different SAP product.
FIM will provide an easy way to do the conversion using wizards and also will assure you about data inetgrity and quality.
This will be the way forward but more details has to be define during the implementation.
I hope this will help you.

Analyzer Security for SAP BPC 7.5 SP6

Hi ,
We have recently installed Analyzer add-in on our excel for Adhoc reporting on SAP BPC 7.5 SP6
But analyzer is not considering the data security restricted for specific region.
For eg: If a planner is assinged to EUROPE planning role and when he creates reports using analyzer he is able to see the data for all the regions(NA,EMEA,ASIAPAC).
Is there anyway we can restrict the planners to see the data relevant to their role in Analyzer.
we had a look at security in Admin client. Is there anyway to handle this.Thanks much.

Sanjeev

Hi,
You can use Bex analyzer for detailed reporting. Both the analyzer and BPC reports can be connected using the normal excel functionalities (in a single excel workbook) so that BPC CV selection will be fed into Bex as variables and relevant data records are displayed in Bex reports. Performance of Bex analyzer is slow. That is one of the main reason it was replaced with BO reporting tools.
If you are using BPC 7.5NW, then there is a standard functionality called DRILL THROUGH. Using this functionality you can drill down to detailed data in BW.
Bex and BPC have different authorizations. You can maintain authorizations in BW roles and try to manually replicate same authorizations in BPC (there is also a how-to doc on automating this synchronization).

Issue in the Reporting feature of SAP BPC NW 7.0

Hi everyone,
I am facing an issue with respect to the Reporting feature in SAP BPC NW 7.0 version. I am supposed to generate a P&L report using the EVDRE function.
Issue-
In the report that I have generated, the system is retrieving only a subset of the broad-level P&L heads. e.g. while BPC is retrieving the EBITDA, EBIT and PAT figures, it is not retrieving the Depreciation, Interest and Tax figures in the report. All the members that are not getting displayed are members with ACCTYPE= 'EXP', while the ones getting displayed are members with ACCTYPE= 'INC'.
Even though the 'EXP' figures are not getting displayed, the amounts are getting deducted correctly. (i.e. even though Interest amount is not getting displayed in the report, the PBT figure being displayed is correctly calculated as PBT= EBIT-Interest).
Also, I am able to see the amount in Interest payments, if I drill to the base-member elements (G/Ls in my case)
Would really appreciate if someone could shed some light on what might be the probable issue.
Thanks in advance,
Sameer Rane

Hi Nilanjan/All,
Thanks a lot for your reply. I suppose, I was not very clear about my problem. The issue is with regards to the value for the Account-dimension members with ACCTYPE = 'EXP' and not with the members per se.
Setting the MemberSet Filter addresses the issue of getting particular Dimension members in the report. In my case, I am already seeing all the necessary members in my report (I have explicitly created a list of all the members I want to see in my report in the MemberSet parameter). However, I am not able to see any values for these members for any of the time periods (even though the values exist).
Also, I don't get any values for some of the INC items as well (e.g. OperationsIncome) inspite of the fact that the base member G/Ls under this account hold values.
Would appreciate any help towards resolving this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Sameer

Transport Control in SAP BPC 7.0 M

Hi,
We are an IT company with more than 250 reporting units. We intend to implement SAP BPC 7.0 M in our organisation to unify our forecating and reporting process across reporting units. I gather that there is no transport tool available in BPC to transport from development to quality to production. I am curious to know if SAP has provided a best practice for controlling changes to production. What is the best method to ensure that an administrator or a developer does not incorrectly make changes in the production system?
Also how do we convince our internal infra guys that changes have to be made directly in production? We have a central team for remote hosting all our systems and they have raised some following questions related to the security/disaster recovery aspects.
a. What is the backup and recovery procedure in case something happens to the production system.
b. Is there a best practice that I could refer to with respect to transports to convince them.
I am trying to prepare a document to convince them. I have got come inputs from sdn but I would really like an authoritative source to better understand this. Any answers/help would be highly appreciated!
Rgds
Shivram.

Hi Shivram,
for diaster recovery, you can just use the backup/restore functionality in BPC server manager. Where an admin can schedule it. Even you can use the SQL backup functionality, but if you use this you need to manually backup the fileshare folder.
Regarding Transports, yes when the project is already in production, it is a bit dangerous to use the backup/restore functionality as we will loss the production system data. So need to use the dev/QA system to develop and test it and later do the changes manually in production system. Before take a backup of production system, then you will be safe.

Sreedhar

Xcelsius in SAP BPC 7.5 MS

Hi experts,
I have a couple of questions with regard to xcelsius in sap bpc 7.5 ms
I am using SAP BPC 7.5 MS AND Xcelsius 2008 sp5.
I already installed the required extended analyzer and EPM connector.
Now here are my questions
1st. I have a file named BPCDATAGRID.XLX, is it the same add ons that mentioned on the HTG? i tried adding this add on but everytime i add this file my xcelsius freeze. in short it was unsuccessful. Could you please teach me or tell me where or how to download the BPCDATA grid that was mentioned in the HTG?
2nd. Since i installed the extended analytic analyzer. im wondering why the function =GetReportDefinition() wouldn't work.
when i check the available functions of IDPrj.AnalyzerFuncs, it includes only two functions, namely AnalyzerOLAPMember and ButtonActionFormattingSheet. Will you please please please teach me how to deal with this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sorin,
according to the guidlines, SAP posted in the wiki, for connecting SAP BPC to Xcelsius via XML connection I have to connect the XcelsiusService.dll via .NET framework 1.1.4322.
This might not be the correct way anymore, but there is no other guide on how to connect BPC and Xcelsius.
Can you provide info on a other way of connecting BPC to Xcelsius?
Thanks in advance,
Harmen

SAP BPC 7.0NW (project in Ramp-Up)

Hi,
We are doing 2 Ramp-Ups currently on the BPC for Netweaver version, and I have a question relating to script logic.
Knowing the Microsoft version very well, we are quite experienced with using logic for budgeting or forecasting purposes. I have read that ABAP/BADI's are the alternative for SQL Logic or could be. In fact, I am looking for the alternative statements of the SQL logic, but then Netweaver-compatible.
- Is there information available on how to write BPC-logic based on ABAP/BADI's?
- Will all of the SQL logic available in the Microsoft version become fully available in the NW version (now very limited availability)?
Thx
Bjorn Van Damme

Hi Bjorn,
The alternative to SQL based script logic in SAP BPC NetWeaver would be MDX based functions. There are 2 methods that you can utilize.
1. MDX based functions
2. ABAP based functions/ BADI's
SQL Logic in NetWeaver environment doesn't work. You may try utlizing microsoft based MDX in NetWeaver environment. Well, it is up to you if you are able to utilize BADI's too prefereable method in terms of NewWeaver environment. You may have to get the information from SAP regarding what standard functions are available in writing script logic using ABAP/BADI's.

Sreekanth.

Xcelsius 2008 on top of SAP BPC

Hi Experts,
I am trying to use Xcelsius 2008 on top of SAP BPC.
I want following functionality in my dashboard:
1. There is a drop down in the dashboard for Year-Month selection.
2. Based on that selection, the BPC query to be refreshed for the selected month and my dashboard will show data for the selected month. While integrating with WebI using LiveOffice, we used to do this by binding the prompt to a cell in excel and selecting on demand refresh option. Can we do the similar thing while integrating with BPC ?
3. Can we create multiple BPC reports in the same excel file to build the excel model for my dashboard ?
Can these requirements be achieved by using Xcelsius on top of BPC using EPMConnector.xlx ?
Many thanks,
PASG

Hi Sanjay,
You need to use different operation types of the EPM Connector for this.
Have a look at this how to guide:

Enabling Journals in a Model in SAP BPC 10.0 MS

Hi,
Where does one enable journals functionality in SAP BPC 10.0 MS?
Here's the background:
I created a new Environment from EnvironmentShell
Worked on dimensions, member sheets etc. in the Consolidation Model
In the SAP Web Administration, Consolidation Monitor, I get the error Initialization Failed when clicking on the Journal item in the TreeView on the left. Clicking on the See Details, I get the error JOURNAL_NOT_ENABLED.
In the Planning and Consolidation Administration Client, I get a similar error when clicking on Define Journal Validation Rules or Define Journal Translation Rules. (Journal in not enabled in Consolidation)
I then thought I would be clever and modified the column 'Journal' in the table dbo.tblApp by putting a '1' there.
Refreshing the Planning and Consolidation Administration Client, I see that for the Consolidation Model, the Journals are specified as 'in use'. However, returning to the SAP Web Administration and clicking on the Journal option, the error I now get is 'Invalid object name dbo.jrnAddedItems', probably because my backdoor hack circumvented some code.
Where does one enable journals in a Model on the MS 10.0 platform? For the life of me, I can't find it. This despite much searching. Clearly I am missing something obvious.
Kind Regards
Nick

Hi Arnold,
Thanks. Yip, that's it. (I knew I was missing something remarkably obvious - it's just that I could not find it for some strange reason.)
Again, many thanks.

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.

Multiple SQL Queries in SAP BPC 5.1 EVMODIFY

Hi All,
We have multiple SQL Queries in Outlooksoft 4.2 which extracts data from Oracle source system with different set of selections and conditions and parameters. We were able to use multiple SQL Queries in Outlooksoft 4.2 using Transform Data Flow Task and paste parameters using evModify dynamic script task, where ever extract to source system is needed.
According to SAP BPC 5.1, all these multiple SQL Queries and extracts by passing parameters will be coded in EVMODIFY dynamic script editor.But, EVMODIFY dynamic script editor is not working with the sets of multiple SQL Queris.It's able to recognize and execute the first SQL Query, but not able to execute from the second SQL Query.
Does any body, did multiple extracts using SQL Queries to the source system by passing parameters using SAP BPC 5.1 data manager and SSIS Packages, please let me know, how you did achieve the above functionality.
Regards,
Sreekanth.

Hi Sorin,
Thanks for your update, I tried declaring the variable between %%....GLOBAL(%GTIMEID%,%SELECTION%) and the package runs now but the problem is that the package is executed using the default date value for the variable GTIMEID declared in the DTSX package and its not taken the date that I'm trying to pass from BPC. As showed below, please if you could take a look to the ModifyScript and see the last line for the global variable and line 13 PROMTP(SELECTINPUT,%SELECTION%,,,%TIME_DIM%) where I am selecting the TIMEID:
DEBUG(ON)
PROMPT(INFILES,,"Import file:",)
