SAP BPC 7.5 - Intercompany Elimination

Dear All,
I have a scenario, where my client has not implemented Trading Partner properly , they assgined 1000 for all the intercompany masters.
So we are in process of implementing properly with the respective company code.
Now we will do that in March 2012, whereas JAN and FEB will have data with Intercompany 1000 and from March it will be respectively 1000, 2000, 3000 etc...
The question is how i can accomodate Jan and Feb Elimination in my BPC system.
Option1 : Is it possible to change the INTCO assingment in dimension from March , if i executed consolidation for Jan and Feb
Option 2 : I will go with Manual posting for Jan and Feb , and run proper eliminations from March
Option 3 : I will load the balance from March and start doing the consolidation(to my understanding as best practice it should be start from Jan 2012)
Fiscal year is Jan to Dec.
Thanks and regards
Praveen Jagadeesan

Intercompany Elimination is doubling after running Legal consolidation

Hi BPC Guru's
Intercompany Elimination is doubling after running Legal consolidation Data Manager Package 2nd time tripples when run 3rd time and so on..Only change is that for resolving an issue with balance carry forward, we had changed the datasource type property for the audit trail members that store the eliminated amounts ealier this was A (Automatic) we changed that to (Manual) M and this is causing the doubling to start because if i change it back to A then there is no doubling..but the eliminated values are incorrect.
Would be great somebody provides with their expertise.

Hi Arnold,
This issue is related to another issue that was discussed on the http://scn.sap.com/thread/3247090
Till December all was well. Come January, after I run the consolidation package, the rule takes into account the balance from December for each month’s calculation:
There were 2 suggestions from the above post that i tried:
Check if “COPYOPENING” property in the Audit Trail dimension should not be “Y” -> It was Y for me but changing it to “N” did not solve my issue.
Opening Flow should be assigned “FLOW_TYPE” property with the value of “OPENING”
Both these are done in my system. But still the above issue exists. I also tried to change the rule to “Periodic” type but did not help.
What I basically want is for BPC to ignore the values from previous year and run the calculation based on only the current month’s data.
When we first faced this issue during January closing, as a temporary fix, we changed the “DATASOURCE_TYPE” property of the audit members used in Eliminations from A to M. This made the rule not consider December balances in the calculation.
But doing this gave rise to the doubling issue.
Any suggestions?

SAP BPC - Intercompany reconciliation - IC accounts - Input from user?

Dear All,
When doing consolidation(of investments), we need to reconcile IC transactions prior to consolidation process. I believe, there are specific accounts which are specific to IC transactions. These IC related accounts must be identified and used in the business rules during reconciliation process.
My question is:
During requirements gathering, even if I(SAP BPC Consultant) know those IC specific accounts on seeing the chart of accounts, this info./data MUST come from the users as these accounts may vary from company to company. When it is a legal consolidation, it is safer that these inputs are coming from the user and not from the SAP BPC Consultant. This is my understanding.
Is my above understanding is correct? IC related accounts must be an input from users and not expected from SAP CONS. specialist?
Correct me if I am wrong.
Thank you!
Regards,
Peri

Hi Peri,
Different companies use different charts of accounts and the intercompany group of accounts have to be confirmed by customers finance.

Hi,
Can a kind soul please explain the differences between intercompany eliminations and US eliminations please?

Hi Varda ,
RDA is Real Time Data Acquisition . In this We can retrieve Live data . While using Normal DTP We can t pull live data
For example :- Today We have Create a 50 orders . This 50 order information pulled after completion of sales order creation . we can t see live . But RDA process pulled the data at the point of sales order creation it self ,It support only Stranded DSO .It will use Some industries like FMCG.Retail,banking sector they want to know current data information from BI Side then RDA.

Intercompany elimination at legal entity and profit centre level

All,
I have a question regarding intercompany elimination. As far as I understand, BPC can only hold one Interco dimension per application. If you want to perform an intercompany elimination for two dimensions which do not roll up into each other, two separate applications are needed. Please see example below to clarify:
Data is reported the following way:
Legal entity Profit Centre Account Interco Value
The problem is that the profit centre hierarchy does not roll up into the legal entity hierarchy mainly because there are profit centres set up as legal entities. Consequently, the legal entity hierarchy and the profit centre hierarchy are two independent hierarchies.
The business requirement is to have an intercompany elimination at profit centre and legal entity level at the same time (hence requiring two Intercos at the same time). This is needed as some of the profit centres are set up as legal entities.
Can someone advise me as to how to resolve this issue? Did anyone come across a similar problem?
Please let me know if you require any further clarifications.
Marc

Hi
Try to use 2 application for the interco elimination
for the 1st appls ur entity will be the entity dimension and use intco as intco dimension
for the 2nd one use the profit center as entity and build a new intco
As per interco logic this is using the Intco property in the Entity dimension and Entity property in intco dimension
it is very impossible to do this in one application
Thanks

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...

Intercompany Elimination - No records to process

Hi,
I am working on Intercompany Elimination. I have two entities BP01_Input & BP02 under the entity BP01.
BP01_Input has ICCost of 1200 against BP02.
BP02 has ICSales of 1500 against BP01_Input.
I carried out the following steps:
1.     Changes to the Account dimension u2013 Added the ELIMACC property and filled it with ICDiff for the accounts ICCost and ICSales
2.     Changes in INTCO dimension u2013 Added BP01_input and BP02 in entity property for Intercompany idu2019s I_BP01 and I_BP02
3.     Changes in Entity Dimension u2013 Added ELIM property and filled with u201CYu201D for BP01 and "N" for its subsidiaries
4.     Changes in RptCurrency dimension u2013 USD is the reporting currency
5.     Ran the data manager package for IC elimination for running the default ICELIM logic with parameters for Category (Actual) and Time (2008.Dec)
The data manager runs successfully. But the log shows "No records to process".Elimination of 300 is not shown in ICDiff account.
Please let me know if there are any mistakes or any other configuration steps required.
Thank you.
Regards,
Shoba

Hi John, txs for answering.
Let me set a quick example:
Entity hierarchy:
500
100
200
300
700
800
9000
Entity Account Month Year    DataSrc       Flow     Amount
100     ABC      005     2012 DS_INPUT F_100     9000
I want the elimination intercompany (which runs through automatic adjustments) to create this record:
Entity Account Month Year    DataSrc       Flow     Amount
100     ABC      005     2012 DS_ELIM F_100      -9000
I dont need to save this elimination record at parent level, just for 100 Entity.
This works, but I d like to know if it is valid or not.
PD: I m on BPC NW 7.5 SP11

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......

Difference between SAP BPC & SEM BCS

Hi Gurus,
What is the difference between SAP BPC & SEM BCS And throw some light on both?
Thanks in Advance,
Sandy.

Hi Sandy,
The functionality in BPC mainly 1) Planning 2) Consolidation
1) Planning : You can have any type planning scenario. Ex.: Sales planning. Based on the actual previous data
we will have some projection reports on the sales for future sales, so we can have planning scenario here . We can change
the projections as per our requirement for any number of times.
Ex 2: HR Planning. Based on the market condition we have recruitment planning, based on the actual data (Existing Emp.)
Ex 3: Accounts Expenditure planning like this we can have planning forecastings.
2) Consolidations : We can consolidate the group company, companies with currency translations, allocations, Inter Unit
eliminations, consolidated P&L accounts & Consolidated Balance Sheets are possible in this.
But where as in BCS you can do only 2 part. The first part is not possible. Hence I personally suggest you to learn BPC NW
it will be more useful. BPC is now going to integrated with BO (Buss. Objects) also from 7.5 ver onwards.
I hope this may help you.

Difference between SAP BPC BI-IP

Hi;
I must do a comparative study between SAP BPC and BI-IP. But I dont know what are differences... I'm beginner in BPC and BI-IP and also in SAP.
Please help me.

Hi,
In addition to above statements, BPC is a whole sole product which might be based on SQL server ( BPC MS version) or BI ( BPC NW version) as a back-end data support. It also has very special and distinguished functionalities like, Excel reporting, business process flows, work status, much bettter configured security structure, Inter company eliminations, currency translation, account transformation and likes. It includes both the Planning and Consolidation reporting.
Whereas, IP is totally dependent upon BI data source and also doesnot have many good functionalities which are user-friendly.
For better understanding of both the products, you can refer to the following links:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75_nw/helpdata/en/bpc_nw_index.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/43/f234619e3c4c5de10000000a155369/frameset.htm
Hope this resolves your issue.

Could you all help me please ?
Thanks,

Hi Joost Hoppenbro,
Thanks for your information, I was read the documentation that you gave me the link before.
The points of My application design likes:
1. I have 2 application (Finance, Capex)
2. The Finance Application have 12 dimensions
(The amount of type: 1 subtable, 1 Account, 4 UserDefined, 1 Category, 1 DataSrc, 1 Entity, 1 Intercompany, 1 currency, 1 Time)
3. The Capex Application have 9 dimensions
(The amount of type: 3 Userdefined, 1 Account, 1 category, 1 Datasrc, 1 entity, 1 currency, 1 Time)
4. I create the script logic very simple and use MDX logic for finance application And for Capex Application just default SAP BPC
5. The database file size is 739 MB (.mdf) and the database log file size is 3.31 GB (.ldf)
The points of my network or server:
1. I am using 3 server( 1 server for development, 1 server for databases, 1 server for SAP BPC)
2. The development server use single-server architecture.
3. The SAP BPC server use multi-server architecture.
4. When I try to retrieve or send data on the development server, it's run good ( not to slowly). But If I was tried to retrieve or send data on the SAP BPC server,it's run to slowly. I try to input data with same the amount of data on development and SAP BPC server.
Joost could you give me the suggestion to tuning performance ? And I have 1 question about OLAP partitioning, how to setting that on MS SQL Server 2005 ?
Thanks,

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.

Reports from SAP BPC NW 7.5

Hi All,
Our Landscape:
SAP ECC EhP1
SAP BW 7.10
SAP BOBJ XI 3.1 (WebI/Crystal/Xcelsius)
SAP BPC NW 7.5
We are new to BPC. We would like to know where do we need to develope the reports on BPC data. Can some one help me on this. If some one have any best practices or options that where we can develope the reports, pls let me know
Like we can do reporting directly on BPC with only couple of reports from BW/BOBJ or all reports from BW/BOBJ.
Here we are planning to use BW as warehouse solution and BOBJ tools for reporitng on BW data.
Thanks,
Bala

Hi Bala,
BPC is a planning & a reporting tool. It can also be used for Consolidation. As mentioned in the previous reply, the data in BW has to be made available in BPC Application (cube) to be able to report it out.
You might need to create transformation files and conversions files between your BW cubes and the BPC cubes to realise the data transfer to BPC application (cube). Note, BPC cubes are automatically generated when you create an application from the BPC front end.
Please refer to some good introductory blogs available on SDN to get to know the BPC terminology and BW terms. Then BPC has an reporting tool in itself. You can create reporting using EVDRE for example which displays the data landed in BPC cubes. This typically will have actual data (loaded from BW), plan data (planned through Input Schedules or flat file data loads).
Hope this give some brief idea.
Thanks
