SAP BPC 5.1 vs 7.5 for Microsoft

SAP BPC 7.5 for Microsoft
Hi Experts,
Currently we are in BPC 5.1 for MS version and we are in the process of upgrading to BPC 7.5 for MS.
What are the differences and benefits that we can get on going to the BPC 7.5 for MS version from BPC 5.1 for MS version ?
Thank you

SAP BPC 7.5 - Loading Directly from r/3.

Hi,
anyone which has experience in loading directly from R/3 into SAP BPC ?
are there any starterkits for this ? Only I can find are IFRS, but there are of course many starterkits which can be purchased from 3rd part.
Pro/Cons using this direcly load process instead of having SAP BW in between as a datawarehouse ?
I would appreciate all input.
Thank you,
Joergen Dalby

Hi,
It is possible to have multiple BW/BI systems for one R3/ECC systems. In order for you to load data into both 3.5 and 7.0 systems, you need to difine BI 7.0 logical system in R3/ECC just like your BW 3.5 logical system in R3/ECC. In R3/ECC, the outbound queue (SMQ1) differentiates the deltas based on the logical system name that you have defined (3.5 and 7.0) in R3/ECC system. So, in RSA7 you will see same delta queue name twice but differentiated by logical system name. So you will not have problems loading deltas. Hope this will shed some light.

Data (Master Data Changes and Transaction Data) from SAP BW to SAP BPC 5.1

Hi guys
I have seen posts on this forum describing data transfers from SAP R/3 to SAP BPC. I assume the procedure for data transfers from SAP BW to SAP BPC 5.1 should be the same i.e. using SSIS packages.
However I have some unique requirements -
1. DATA AT DIFFERENT AGGREGATED LEVELS - I need data from SAP BW at different levels - Some data comes at Product level while other at Customer level and some at Project Level. The current procedure takes BW queries output in excel sheets (6 files) and then use the data manager package to load the data in SAP BPC 5.1 using appropriate transformation and conversion files. This procedure is highly manual and I am looking at using SSIS package to do this. However, because of having data at different levels, it becomes a little tricky. How can we achieve this using SSIS?
2. UPDATING MASTER DATA - I need to update the master data (dimension members) in SAP BPC 5.1 at the start of every month. The current procedure compares (in MS ACCESS) the data from the queries mentioned in 1 to the dimension members in SAP BPC 5.1 and spits a file with the new entries which needs to be manually updated in the appropriate dimensions using Admin Console. I am looking at automating this task. I cannot just replace all the contents of a dimension with the members coming from SAP BW since the dimension members contains some dummy members which are used for planning.
3. HIERARCHY CHANGES - What is the best way to capture the hierarchy changes in SAP BW into SAP BPC 5.1?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Ameya Kulkarni

Hi Ameya,
how did you solve the described problems? Can you give some hints about uploading master data and updating the hierarchy?

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.

Hope this clarifies.

Microsoft Excel slowing down and other problems when SAP BPC EPM Add-in is installed

Hello,
Our client is having some problems with Microsoft Excel (MS Office 2013) since the SAP BPC EPM Add-in was installed in their computers.
They are suffering from Microsoft Excel slowing down, even when not connected to SAP BPC (10.0 NW version).
For example, when opening two or more excel archives, not connected to SAP BPC, Microsoft Excel crashes and is restarted with errors.
Have you experienced something similar in other installations?
Thank you very much, and kind regards,

In relation to the previous post , we have to emphasize that we have installed in ours PC's:
MS Office 2010 14.0.7116.5000 32 bit,
EPM add-on version 10.0 SP20 (10.0.0.8993).
and our customer have installed in theirs PC's:
MS Office 2013 15.0.4675.1001 32-bit.
EPM add-on version 10.0 SP19 patch 1 .NET 3.5 compilation 936.
Thank you very much

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.
Regards,
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).

Built-in templates for Legal Consolidation in SAP BPC

Hi guys
I am doing a demo for legal consolidation and was wondering if there are built-in input scehdules (templates) in SAP BPC to assign the consolidation methods to entities (to let the system know how an entity needs to be rolled up in a group)?
Also are there any input schedules (templates) to enter the Ownership % and Control % for various subsidiaries under a parent?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Ameya Kulkarni

I don't think any of the default applications come with pre-built input templates. The legal applications does come with a number of pre-configured business rules, but as far as pre-built input templates go none are available. That being said, it is pretty easy to build a simple input template using the dynamic templates that come with BPC. Starting with one of these you should be able to configure one of them for your demo without much trouble. Let me know if you need help with that.

Installing SAP BPC 7.0 FOR MICROSOFT on VM (60 GB) Disk Space- Test

All,
We are on SAP BPC 5.0 Sp10 and we are planning to upgrade SAP BPC 7.0 Microsoft in next year. We have one VM server which has 60 GB Disk. We are wondering that can we install SAP BPC 7.0 on it.
As per SAP installation guide , it is clearly mentioned that we should have 200GB Space to install it. Installation guide talks about real time system since we are building up a test system for a small team which consists of only 6 people.
Any body have installed SAP BPC 7.0 Microsoft this way or Can any body verify it will installed and work successfully ?
Also share, what is the minimum disk space requirement to install SAP BPC 7.0 Microsoft.
Thanks,
Saquib Khan

SAquib,
Not sure where you are getting the 200 gig requirements, but on the Microsoft install guide, it states less than that. See section 3 of the install guide (check on your server requirements). I have attached the link for your convenience.
https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000552952009E/SAP_BPC_70_SP04_M_Install.pdf
As for minimum, I am not sure any qualified installer will quote you a number without going through all of the requirements.. Typically, they would assess the requirements and then come up with a "recommended" space amount and number of servers. This would factor into number of users, number of applications/appsets, data volume, page caching, planning or consolidations (or both), etc.
After sitting through a few 7.0 Microsoft installations, I think 60 gigs VM should be more than sufficient to be installed for "testing" purpose. As stated above, some folks have been use single server 20 gig vm partition for their "sandbox". Keep in mind that the performance will be a little bit slower than install on actual server so any bench mark that you're trying to assess may be a little bit off. In addition, when upgrading from 5.1 to 7.0M make sure to add the property "ISBEGINNING" with value of 10 to the Time Dimension.
As for deciding whether to go with NW or MS, I think the deciding factor would be data volume, and number dimensions that you would need to maintain on your appset, and desire to have integration with SAP components.

Consolidation for SAP BPC

HI Gurus,
I have gone through the documentation provided by SAP for SAP BPC Admin document
which just talks about the various business rules available for consolidation.
Can someone o explain in brief the sequence steps that one needs to follow for consolidation? (e.g. First develop the dimensions - account, entity, etc., then application - finance, rate, ownership, then set up the consolidation rules, then methods, then automatic adjustment detail etc.)
Also it will be helpful if someone can actually describe the required properties in each dimension to perform consolidation?
(e.g. Account needs to have ElimAcc for Eliminations etc.)
Regards
kishan

Hi Kishan,
                 For consolidation if your working in BPCNW version,here are the requirements.
                  In general you have 3 applications...
                      1.Consolidation-For doing all the consolidation part
                      2.Rate----
For doing all the currency conversions and Elimainations
                      3.Ownership
                Here are the required dimensions dimensions....
                  C_Acct (A)
                  C_Category (C)
                  C_Datasrc (D)
                  Flow (S)
                  Group (R)
                  Entity (E)
                  Intco (I)
                 Time (T)
                 R_Acct (A)
                 InputCurrency(R)
                 Groups(R)
                 O_Acct (A)
these are the basic requirements for legal Consolidation.
The sequance of steps are 1.Load the master data(Dimensions)
                                       2.create the Applications.
                                       3.Load the Appset and Application Parameters.
                                       4.Customizing the Logic(We have the existing logic in BPC-BI use that Logic).
                                       5.Reports are based on your need.
If your an Finance background you should have known the steps to process the logic i.e sequence of steps.....if not reply me i will let you know..
Hope these helps you...
have a nice day......

Ports in SAP BPC for MS Office (Excel, Word or PowerPoint).

Hello to all,
I'm trying to find what ports do I have to open to my firewall to let the customer in to the SAP BPC from the MS Office (Excel, Word or PowerPoint).
I've tried to find it, but I didn't fiond anything in the manuals.
Please I need help.
Thank you in advance.
Pablo Mortera.

You really need to go through the Master & Installation guide as Alwin pointed out. This guide will easily answer questions like this as well as the other question you have posted lately.
From the guide;
If your Application, Web, or Reporting Services server components will be
accessed through a firewall, you should verify with your network
administrator which TCP ports to choose during the installation of
OutlookSoft. By default, port 80 is the setting for standard http access,
and port 443 is the setting for https access. If you require a service to
listen on a different port, you can specify it during the installation program
in u2018Advanced Settings.u2019 See Standard and Advanced settings on page 18.
u2022 Make sure all required server ports are open, and there is communication
between the physical servers on which you are going to install the server
components.
All required ports must be opened for inbound/outbound traffic. By default,
OutlookSoft requires that Ports 80 (used by http) and 1443 (used by SQL
2000/2005), 2725 (used by OLAP 2000) and 2383 (used by OLAP 2005)
are open. For information on the required ports, see Server Manager Help.

Pre-Requisite for SAP BPC certification

Dear Gurus,
Hope you all are good. I am an ABAPER. I want to do SAP BPC certification. Can somebody tell what kind of functional and technical knowledge is required for this certification or to work in BPC. Some told me you need a strong FI/CO knowledge for tis certification some say you need BW technical knowledge for this. I will be highly appreciatibe if someone tells me the pre-requisites or basics in percentage. Can ABAPER moves toward BPC?
My second question is what is the job demand for SAP BPC?
Thanks in advance.
Regards

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.

Ashish

Average values in SAP BPC for MS 7.5

Hello!
I need to make a price list in SAP BPC for MS 7.5.
So the first question - What type of application should I choose?
And the main thing - How can I make average calculations?
I have made account dimension, which member list contains just "Price".
When I built an input shedule(goods against time), enter prices in some currency,
the total year value ist the sum of the values of months. But I need an average value.
How can I organise it?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Olga,
You statement doesnt provide any information on which type of application should be used.
This decision is based on other criterias. If you need to do any planning or management consolidation, then you can use the financial type application. If you want to do a legal consolidation, then you can use the consolidation type application. If you need to store just the supporting data required for planning, then you can use non-reporting type application (such as rate)
For displaying average at parent members, either you can write dimension formula in the time dimension for the account price. Otherwise, you can create a custom measure.
Hope this helps.
