SEM: BCS Balance Carry Forward - Concept of Period 00

Gurus:
Wants to clear a concept with you. Say for example at the end of Period 12, 2006,
B/S Account 1: $100,000
Retained Earnings: $ 200,000
And only for the Period 1, 2007:
B/S Account 1: $200 (this is a periodic value)
And Net Profit: $15
Now lets assume the Retained Earnings of Current Month = RE Last Month + Net Profit.
Now if we dont do a Balance Carry forward after Period 12 close and before Period 1 close, I will be getting this only for Period 1,
B/S Account 1: $200
Retained Earnings: $15
But if we do a BCF after Period 12 close and before Period 1 close, I will be getting this only for Period 1,
B/S Account 1: $100,200
Retained Earnings: $200,015
So the BCS gets the value in period 00 and in backend add it to period 1 to give a cumulative period 1. Period 00 is a virtual place holder for this and not be available for reporting.
Am I correct?
Thanks for your time spent,

Arpan

Thanks Eugene!
I am sure you are correct, but not able to understand the answer for my this question from the thread you mentioned. Was thinking of BCS & period 00 concept and trying to confirm my understanding. Sorry for not able to pick up the loose thread. Still open..

After performing a balance carry foward in ECCS from 2007 to 2008. The Accumulated Surplus / Deficit FS item is comming up with a difference as a result of currency translation. Even though, the translation method is configured as historical. Please can any one let me know if I missed somthing.

SEM-BCS without carry forward

Hi all,
Has someone configured SEM-BCS without the carry forward task.
And can you share the pros and cons of doing this?
Thanks, Alvin

Thanks Greg, Dan, Thibaud for your responses. he are very much appreciated.
I wanted to attract some debate/discussion on the matter. Personally, I am not convinced that carry forward is not used.
However a bit more context. My client is using SAP PBF and PBF can pass on Opening balances to BCS. BTW this relates to budgets more than actuals.
There are the usual related party eliminations and possibly consolidation of investments so that BCS can deal with them in a variety of reporting hierarchies.
Other requirements include
- budget may be increased/decreased 2-3 times a year
- these increases/decreases are captured as adjustments for the relevant period. This changed budget (sometimes for the same fiscal year) is the authority for spending
- there are 4 years of estimates (say Est1, Est2, Est3, Est4 representing each future year) and they do not roll on to each other. In other words, Est1 do not roll into est 2 and est 2 do not roll into est 3 and so on. Rather est 1 roll into est 1, est2 into est 2, either in the same fiscal year or the next fiscal year (it sounds confusing hence I hesitated to put that with my initial question)
So far, based on other conversations, I have gathered the following:
- Not generally done in BCS where opening balances are required
- Documents posted in the previous year will not inverse
- Consolidation adjustments relating to previous years will have to be re-posted in current period. Flexibility to report these adjustments for a particular period will be lost.
- Additional items/subitems will be required for opening balances, as compared to opening balances captured in period 00,
- Many BEx reports (probably some reclasses and allocations) that are looking for the beginning balances in the period 000 will start malfunctioning.
- Copy Tasks (this will used for different consolidation versions) may end up with incorrect data if they require previous period results
- Not being able to close book for the year?
Anymore input would be appreciated.
Cheers, A

IO Actual Line Items Balance Carry Forward

HI Guru's,

No Budget and Commitments Items..
any chance carry forward remaining balance 500 to next year..
what is tcode..

Hi,
This is not possible. An internal order is a tempory cost collector and not based on years.
To see the cost/sales you have to select in your report from to year.
You have only in FI and PCA a Balance carry foward for balance sheet accounts.(no P&L accounts, start next year with 0)
It is possibel to Cary forward budgets and commitments

How SEM BCS handled balance carried forward?

Hi,
I would like to find out how SEM BCS handled balance carried forward?
Income statement
Profit after Tax - 50
Balance Sheet
Retained profit (last year) - 100
Current Year profit - 50
How do i configurate 'Profit after Tax' = 'Current Year profit' in workbench? Is BCS going to store the computed results?
Balance items (ie 'Retained profit (last year)' and 'Current Year profit') by default are carry forward to next year in BCS.
Do i need to configurate 'Current Year profit' add to 'Retained profit (last year)'?
Pls advise.
Thanks.
Regards, Renee

Hi Renee,
By default, the balance sheet items are to be carried forward to next year. If you dont make any settings, both items, Retained profit (last year) and Current Year profit will be transferred to themselves, that is not correct.
You need to show the system which items are to be carried forward not to themselves.
To force the system to make the proper transfer, in UCWB go to Consolidation Functions -> Balance Carryforward -> Items to be Carried Forward.
Enter there the following information:
<b>Orig. Item__________Debit Item_______Credit Item</b>
Current Year profit____RE (last year)_____RE (last year)
Do the similar operation for all items to be carried to other than themselves items, for example dividends of the current and last years etc.
Hope this helps.

SEM-BCS Statistical FS Items (Statistical: Balance and Statistical: Flow)

Hi,
SEM-BCS 4.0 and SEM-BCS 6.0 both have 2 types of Statistical FS Item (Financial Statement item); "Statistical: Balance" and "Statistical: Flow".
I note that these are treated differently, e.g. in Balance Carryforward task, Statistical: Balance are carried forward automatically while Statistical: Flow are not.
My question is, what is the difference between these statistical item types?
And what are they (or could they be) used for?

Hi,
I'll try to explain you like the following:
Balance is a value that is derived from beginning balance plus movement. Flow is the movement itself.
Trial balance is an example of balance, while movement type is an example of flow.
When you do balance carry forward, system add all the flow type that you define to make a balance, and carry forward the balance only.
Hope it helps.
regards,

SEM-BCS (BW Reporting)

Hi All,
I would like to know how SEM-BCS stores data (balance values) in BW cube. If I have to generate a B/S report, how would I restrict the Key Figure to show balance as of the 2nd quarter? The issue is the ranging of the Posting Period. Is it (4 to 6) or 6(Last month of quarter) or (1 to 6)?
Thank.

it depends what you want. you want to show cumulative balance or non-cumulative balance from ytd.
since it is balance sheet, i would assume u r refereing to the cumulative balance from ytd ( which also includes the balance carry forward.)
in that you can restrict it to period 1 through 6.
other case:
you report only shows the monthly balances or transactions in the month. then you can go for period restriction period 6.
hope this helps.
Regards,
BWer

How to know whether balance carry forward has happened or not

How to know , whether balance carry forward has happened or not for a perticular GL account or for the company code as a whole?

If the account is a balance sheet account, you can merely look at the beginning balance for the same balance sheet account for the beginning of the next fiscal year FS10N. The beginning balance will equal the previous year's ending balance. Since this does not happen automatically, you will know that carry forward has not been done if a balance sheet account has no beginning balance in the following fiscal year.
If you are talking about For P&L GL accounts, you can check the acvitity in the retained earnings accounts to make sure that they have been updated for the P&L activity. You can identify the retained earnings account by looking at the master data for the account in the section "P&L statmt acct type" and pulling up the menu to see the actual retained earnings account number.
You can perform carry foward (GVTR) as many times as you want but normally once it has been ran, any postings to a previous fiscal year are automatically carried forward to the current year after that initial run.

Budget balance carry forward to new year fiscal year

Hi,
Currently, our setting for Funds Management Master
Data is year-dependant. Now, our user request for a budget carry
forward from one year to another year. So, we are trying to the fix the
configuration.
My question is, can we do the budget balance carry forward if the master data is year-dependant. If can, how to do that?
For your information, our system is SAP R3 version 4.7C and using the BCS.
Appreciate your advise on this matter.
Thanks and regards

Inconsistent Query Result in SEM-BCS using Virtual Info Provider

We have just upgraded to BW 7.0 and SEM-BCS 6.0. When we run an existing 3.5 BW query for BCS through the Virtual Info Provider against the basic consolidation cube, we are getting inconsistent results. Sometimes we get the correct result, and other times our results are not rolling up correctly causing an out of balance on our balance sheet query. We did not make any hierarchy changes between the query executions. Has anyone else experienced this? We cannot see the cause of the inconsistency. Everything looks good when running through RSRT DEBUG. Any help on pushing us in the right direction to solve this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

Hi Rob,
Could you please let me know how you have resolved this issue? Thanks.

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.
Regards,
B.S.RAGHU

Results are lost when I filter by a characteristic (SEM-BCS)

Hi! I am building a BEx report for a SEM-BCS Worksheet. I have the posting levels 00, 01, 10, 20 and 30.
At first I only have the posting level upper the ratio "Period Value GC" (Columns) and the characteristic 0CS_ITEM with a hierarchy in the Rows. Then, in the execution of the report there are 5 columns with their respective values and they are shown in a balance hierarchy.
In the free characteristics I have the "Consolidation group". When I drilldown across there are values for 2 consolidation groups in the posting level 30 (They are shown in blue cells) and in the other posting levels there are shown the results (yellow cells). After if I choose a filter in the consolidation group, only the posting level 30 is shown, but the results for the other posting levels are not shown.
The first time I made this report, all the posting levels were shown after I choose the filter in the consolidation group but now it is not working.
I proved with all the options of the context menu in the report but I couldn´t see the report like the first time.
How can we see all the posting levels when I apply a filter?
Thanks by your help,
Luis Jorge Castro

Ashish, thanks by your help but I´ve already had put this option to "never" for all the characteristics in Properties -> Display of results -> Supress Results Rows but the problem persists
Is there something that I can check aditionally?
Thanks!

Period Ending SEM BCS

Hi Guys
We are close all the deletions in the period 011/2010
To start the period 012/2010, I need to turn on some task or shut down the SEM BCS?
Because in an elimination test period in 012/2010, the log shows the values of the period 011/2010
Any suggestions
Tks

It is not clear what exactly the problem. Please clarify this so we may better assist you.
What do you mean by "the deletions in the period 011/2010"?
In some cases where inversion documents are used, one of the first tasks in the monitor should be Period Initialization for inverting the previous period's documents where the document type is set for automatic inversion. This simply reverses certain documents from the previous period.
For eliminations check the document type assigned to the task to determine whether or not the documents are configured to be inverted.
Also, the eliminations are cumulative so the amounts in the log will show cumulative balances even when the document may only be the delta elimination amount.
