SAP BPC - Formation - Need help

Hello everybody,
First of all, I want to thank all people who will at least read my thread. I'm a junior consultant who need help on SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation) - ex. OutllookSoft. So, if you have some tutorials, some documents, something that can help me to learn how to use SAP BPC, I will be very grateful to you. Up to now, I just read the "Help" of SAP BPC (OutlookSoft 4.2.419), the version I have to use. But it is just a technical help, I have nothing about the terms used (what is an application, a member, etc.), the philosophy of the tool, etc. To finish, if someone, from Paris (in France) is using this tool, I can pay him or her to form me on this tool.
Thanks a lot.
Best regards, Ivan.
PS: sorry for my English...

Hi,
You can go to
http://help.sap.com/
And navigate to SAP Business Objects -> EPM Solutions -> Business Planning and Consolidation.
Under the heading, SAP BPC 5.0, click on "Application help and Installation Guide".
This will take you to the document repository in SAP Marketplace. You will get the documents which will provide you with the basic understanding of the tool.
However, you will need S-user ID to ligon to SAP Marketplace.
Hope this helps.

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.

How to setup an IC Matching application in SAP BPC step by step query...

Hi there, I have a query...
I downloaded the "How to... Setup an Intercompany Matching Application in SAP BPC" pdf file. Then i read it and eventually followed the step by step solution but as I do it, i was stucked with the step number 71. It's because the result of what i did was not the way it should look like. I mean, the result is different from the picture that is being shown in the file. As a matter of fact, i've encountered 2 messeges ff:
error 1
[http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2743/4464421462_15711a509d_o.jpg]
error 2
[http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4020/4464421410_ac8a3efb5c_o.jpg]
what should I do? Is there anything that I did wrong?
This is the 71st step anyway,
[http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4055/4463657105_d217f23a71_o.jpg]
I actually tried both members, but i received same errors...
Thanks for help, folks! God bless!

Hi Will,
Thanks for reply... Actually, I've tried that before(putting comma after the flag "all," presuming the 71st step shows that I should have 3 members in the memberset under the ICDatasrc dimension. But it also did not work.
Nope, step 71 did not tell us to use piping and consequently expanding the col key range.
Thanks...

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

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.

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.

Hi Do we have tables for SAP BPC EPM Comments ? if we have what are they could you please explain some one.

Hi Do we have tables for SAP BPC EPM Comments ? if we have what are they could you please explain some one.

Hi Narahari,
Yes, we have tables for SAP BPC EPM comments and it is stored in backend BW.
Please follow the below steps to see it -
1. Go to RSA1 and find the infoprovider name for the application/cube that contains the comments For example, the infoprovider name is /CPMB/VZIKG4O
2. Then Go to SE16 and enter the comment table name. The comment tables are generated tables. You can determine there name by using the following rules:
a. The table name always starts with '/1CPMB/'
b. The rest of the name is derived from the infoprovider name - it is the first two characters after the second '/' + the fourth, fifth and sixth characters + CMT (for comments) or CMTA (for archived comments). In my case the comments table name would be "/1CPMB/VZKG4CMT" and the archived comments table would be "/1CPMB/VZKG4CMTA".
3. Hit 'F7' or click the table contents button.
4. Enter the criteria for the comments you wish to export.
Hope this helps.

Bunch of ERRORS after installing SAP BPC 5.1 for the first time

Hi guys
Our basis guy is installing SAP BPC 5.1 for the first time. After the installation, I can get into SAP BPC - Administration screen but I get a lot of errors when I try to do some changes. Some of them are -
1. Whenever I try getting into the SAP BPC administration I get the following error. But when I click OK it gets me to the administration screen but after that Hell breaks loose
    Error on uncompressing file: Error : ActiveX component can't create object.
2. Create dimensions -
    Split File Error
3. Delete dimensions -
   OLAPConnect Error - The Database with ID = 'ApShell' doesn't exist in the collection
4. BPC for Excel (I am logging in as a system admin)
    The dimension information file cannot be created. There may be a network or security issue.
    Error Message: InitCatalog:Either the user does not have access to the ApShell database, or the database does not exist.
I am sure I will get a lot of errors once I start playing with the configuration.
Please comment.
Thanks,
Ameya Kulkarni

Hi Ameya Kulkarni,
I sorry I wrong type something,
1. Whenever I try getting into the SAP BPC administration I get the following error. But when I click OK it gets me to the administration screen but after that Hell breaks loose
Error on uncompressing file: Error : ActiveX component can't create object.
==>
You should do this step such as:
1. copy file "XceedZip.dll" into the directory SAP BPC
2. register that file into the register window using sintaks: "regsvr32"
3. If the successfully message box appears, You should open the MS.Excel or SAP BPC administration
2. Create dimensions -
Split File Error
==>
You should check the database your application in MS.SQL first please.Perhaps, It's does not open and retrieve data.
3. Delete dimensions -
OLAPConnect Error - The Database with ID = 'ApShell' doesn't exist in the collection
==>
You should check the database your application in MS.SQL first please.Perhaps, It's does not open and retrieve data.
4. BPC for Excel (I am logging in as a system admin)
The dimension information file cannot be created. There may be a network or security issue.
Error Message: InitCatalog:Either the user does not have access to the ApShell database, or the database does not exist.
==>
You must solve the problem no.2&3 because you should add new user through SAP BPC Administration for the application.
I wish My Suggestion can 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.
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).

Best practice to Load FX rates to Rate Application in SAP BPC 7.5 NW

Hi,
What is the best practice/approach to load FX rates to Rate Application in SAP BPC 7.5 NW? Is it from ECC or BW?
Thanks,
Rushi

I have seen both cases.
1) Rates coming as a flat file from external system, treasury department, and ECC and BPC both loads in to respective systems in batch.
2) ECC pushes rate info to BW and data in turn get pushed to BPC along with other scheduled process chains.
How are rates entering your ECC?

What are strengths and weaknesses of the sap.m.Shell and sap.m.App as container for an application wrapper?

My question today: What are strengths and weaknesses of the
sap.m.Shell
and
sap.m.App
as container for an application wrapper?
I currently use non of them, but I see the advantages.
SAP best practise is to use one of them or nest them as shell > app. What are strengths and weaknesses of the approaches?

We prefer to say, the tender mercies of the Fetch block.
You'll notice the "wfm info" cluster as an output of the Fetch
VI. This cluster has gain and offset members- use these to scale
your binary data to floating point voltage representation.
As you point out, the numbers won't be exactly what you expect given
the vertical range and the device resolution. There are a few
reasons for this. First, we don't use the absolute full scale of
the ADC for the maximum input voltage. There are a couple of
codes of headroom at the top and bottom. This allows your input
signal to slightly exceed the specified vertical range without clipping
(you'll get a warning from the driver). Second, these gain and
offset numbers take into account calibration information for your
device. Using these numbers will correct for small deviations
from the ideal offset and gain.
So if you use the gain and offset numbers from the driver, your
measurements will be more accurate than if you assume 0 offset and
perfect gain. They will be most accurate if you make sure to
perform a self-calibration once the device is in your system and at the
temperature that your tests will be run.
