SEM BCS: Breakdown Category & Movement Type

Hi! All,
1. how is it possible to assign a different Brekdown for Cons Unit and Cons. Profit Center....having the same role of Cons Unit..?
2.Is it a good idea to create a separate movement type...copy of 120 or just save Movement type 120 as default? Does Movement Type also need to be included in Elimination Method to facilitate elim. posting?
Thanks for your clarification.
Vict

Thanks, Eugene...
I was referring to assigning of "Breakdown Type" while creating Breakdown category, to Trading Partner and PArtner Cons.Profit Center. They have the same role of Cons. Unit in Data Model and hence, the system does not allow to assign different "Breakdown Types" to each. If
one has "Required Breakdown: Entry is forced, default not allowed", the other needs to be the same.Since I am using Dummy Profit Center for now...I wanted to use different "Breakdown Types" in breakdown category for Trading Partner and Cons. Profit Center....
2. In the Two sided Inter Unit Elimination at posting level 20, I select the accoutns to be eliminated and in "Differences"section choose Post differences to "Unit with Lowe value at KEy figure or attribute" and define the Accounts where differences need to be posted. However, when I run the Elimination Task,(Cons. Unit A, A/R say 5000, Cons. Unit B - A/P say 3000 with each being Trading Partner of the other), the result I get is that the System shows the Total Difference as 8000 and puts that in the Account specified for posting Differences. I use the Standard MEthod layout 05510...what could be the possible reason or miss in config. steps.....
I will be more precise in formulating the questions......
Thanks for your input..
Regards,
Victor

Mov Typ

Dear Friends,
How does Mov Typ comes automatically in the Sales Order & which movement type is used in 3rd Party Sales Order?
Thank you.

Dear sir.
Movement type will come in sales order with the help of item category and for that item category which schedule line category assigned.
please go through the SPRO setting.
SPRO-IMg-Sales and Distribution-Sales-Sales Documents-Schedule Lines-Define Schedule Line Categories.
here schedule line category can be created.in that schedule line category movement type assigned.
SPRO-IMg-Sales and Distribution-Sales-Sales Documents-Schedule Lines-Assign Schedule Line Categories.(VOV6)
here for your item category you assign schedule line category .
while creating the SO with the help of item category and schedule line category movement type will come.
in Std third party the item category is TAS and schedule line category assigned CS.
please check Schedule line category CS, there no movement type assigned.
because for third party when you do GRN with respective PO the material will go the custome.

SEM BCS - Add characteristic in breakdown category

Hi Gurus,
In the breakdown category, there are many characteristics which is defined. For Example : Trading Partner, Transaction Currency.
The Question is :
How to add new characteristic in the breakdown category?
Thanks In advance.

Thanks, just came back from my vacation on the seashore . ;=)))
Yes, through RSA1 you maintain your totals cube including there the char needed. Include into dimension (like "other subassignments") and activate.
In UCWB, in the data model, drag and drop this new char into the left part of the screen (mappings). Assign the role subassignment, generate the data basis and cons areas.
Your "weighted Average Interest rate" looks like a key figure for me. Is it so? If yes, you cannot use more than 4 predefined KFs in the totals cube. If this is a char, then it's not very clear what kind of values it keeps (and its role is not clear either).
No, you cannot copy from "transaction currency". Currencies are special chars. Your "weighted Average Interest rate" doesn't look like having currencies property. Just create another infoobject and use it.
Another special chars like FYV or posting period, or movement type etc are special chars too. The chars that are to be created as usual infoobjects, are mapped with 'Subassignment' role, the special ones - with predefined roles. It's the difference between them.
Hope this helps.

Movement type 1-step in Schedule line category for STO

Hello Experts,
What is the difference between single step and two step movement type in Stock Transport Order? What is its significance?
My understanding in case of stock to stock and plant to plant material movements in Inventory management:
If we use single step, once the goods are issued at the issuing plant stocks are updated immediately both at the issuing plant (reduced) and receiving plant (increased).
In case of two steps,
Stock to stock material will be in stock in transfer for receiving plant once the goods are issued at issuing plant
Plant to plant Material will be in stock in transit for receiving plant once the goods are issued at issuing plant.
Is this the same concept in STO?
OR
What is the significance of Movement type 1-step in Scheudle line category?

Have a look there

Schedule Line Category F1 Item Category TAN Movement type 632 Customer Pick

Hello SAP guru's !
I have a question regarding MM/SD/QM integration. We are running SAP ECC6 latest support pack level.
Scenario:
We process Consignment Fill Up and C. Issue (631/633) movement type respectively on a regular basis.
Our Customer has found stock that we have provided to them as Un-usable. We would like to Process Consignment Pick Up to return the materials to our our stock via Delivery with Schedule line category F1 and item category TAN using movement type 632.
Current process works well, but we would like to have the 632 movement type post stock into "Quality inspection" via inspection lot type 05 for example.
We cannot find where in SD/MM/ or QM to make the settings to link such a process.
All help is greatly appretiated !
Thank you, Dave

Dear Dave
Go to material master, select Quality Management view and click on Insp.setup. You will see a screen with various selection options. Press F5 and maintain 06 on top under the tab [InspType] and save.
Now try to do PGR so that the stock would be blocked for quality clearance.
Alternatively, you can also maintain the movement type 655 to your schedule line category F1 in VOV6.
thanks

Using the business area as a breakdown category in BCS

Hi,
Can I use BA as a breakdown category in BCS? If so, how can I use the breakdown category while the manuel posting in BCS?
Thx.
Message was edited by: ebru soydas

Business Area may be used, but must first be included in the data model as a characteristic with the dimension Subassignments. Then the BCS Databasis must include this characteristic with the role subassignment. This will automatically make it available for breakdown categories where the values may be required, optional, and so forth.
I hope this helps.

Unable to provide input value to InfoObject in SEM-BCS

Hello BI Experts,
I have created an infoobject 'ABC' in BI and have flagged 'With Master Data' and 'With Text'. This infoobject has an navigational attribute 'XYZ'(XYZ also has 'With Master Data' and 'With Text').
When I go to T.Code UCWB(BCS Workbench), I could able to see the infoobject 'ABC' and when I try to create master data for 'ABC', I do not see the input field for 'XYZ'. I want to input values in Infoobject 'XYZ' through this screen(SEM-BCS) and not through BI(right-click on infoobject 'Maintain Master Data). Please let me know, if I am missing anything.

Hi Shekar
I find the ICD setup very 'picky'! If you get one thing wrong, it doesn't work. I have detailed below the steps I usually advise people to tek. Check your setup and see if this helps.
1. Define Plan Type, Compensation Category = Others.
2. Define Plan. Link to Plan Type. Plan Usage = May not be in program. On Not in program Tab - define sequence, currency, enrollment rate (per pay period?), activity reference period (Monthly). Your settings may need to be different. On Plan details tab, enter plan years.
3. Plan enrollment requirements. On the general tab, plan sub tab, make sure the method = EXPLICIT. this allows the user to enter an input value for the ICD. THIS MAY WELL BE THE SOURCE OF YOUR PROBLEM!
Make sure the CERTIFICATION region is UNTICKED. This can also cause ICDs not to work.
ALLOWS UNRESTRICTED ENROLLMENT must be TICKED. Otherwise there is no eligibility to the ICD.
On the rates subregion, make sure the run strt date is set to ENTERABLE.
4. standard Rates form. Make sure the ACTIVITY TYPE and TAX TYPE are entered. Select the ELEMENT and the INPUT VALUE and TICK the ELEMENT AND INPUT VALUE REQUIRED field.
On the processing Information tab - TICK ASSIGN ON ENROLMENT, DISPLAY ON ENROLLMENT and PROCESS EACH PAY PERIOD. Enter PER PAY PERIOD AMOUNT in VALUE PASSED TO PAYROLL and OTHER in COMPENSATION CATEGORY.
Let me know if this works!

SEM-BCS Short Dump while executing Manual Posting Task

Hi SEM-BCS Colleagues,
I am having a peculiar problem with relation to the settings for Manual Postings. I have three scenarios for which I have defined manual document types and tasks 1) Standardizing Entry (Data Collection) 2) Manual Document in IU for adjustment 3) COI Group level manual postings. I am just creating and not changing any settings for document field properties also. I have configured monthly consolidation frequency and period category and I am posting document type 1 in Local Currency and 2 and 3 in Group Currency since they are after currency translation.
Have any of you faced similar problem and help me please?

Hello,
I am also getting short dump during data collection in BCS.
we recently upgraded the system to SP20. Is it anyway related to upgrade.
I also checked the MYSELF as a source system, but not found one.
Could you please let me know how you have solved this issue.
short dump:
Runtime Errors         PERFORM_TOO_MANY_PARAMETERS
Exception              CX_SY_DYN_CALL_PARAM_NOT_FOUND
Date and Time          04.12.2009 05:21:11
Short text
     Too many parameters specified with PERFORM.
What happened?
     In a subroutine call, there were more parameters than in the
     routine definition.
     Error in the ABAP Application Program
     The current ABAP program "SAPLRSDRI" had to be terminated because it has
     come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
Error analysis
     An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
     The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_DYN_CALL_PARAM_NOT_FOUND', was
      not caught in
     procedure "RSDRI_CUBE_WRITE_PACKAGE_RFC" "(FUNCTION)", nor was it propagated by
      a RAISING clause.
     Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
     exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
     The reason for the exception is:
     A PERFORM was used to call the routine "CUBE_WRITE_PACKAGE" of the program
      "GPD1S8520HM8UV0U2XBDVPADF03".
     This routine contains 7 formal parameters, but the current call
     contains 10 actual parameters.

Error UCD1038 regarding Movement Type after upgrade

During testing for the BW upgrade and implementation of BPC, the SEM-BCS data collection resulted in an unexpected and unnecessary error: Maximum selection does not contain value 600 of subassignment Movement Type; Message no. UCD1038.
Both before and after upgrade the task log shows Source records with the movement type but with no value in transaction currency, local currency and group currency. But after the upgrade these records also appear in the Target log where there had previously been excluded.
SAP Note 1583871 was implemented without any noticeable improvement.
The SEM-BCS data collection uses load-from-datastream with a source databasis that is virtual cube reading data from the ECC leading ledger. The source data is unchanged and before the upgrade the error did not occur.

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,

Change of breakdown category

We are using SEM-BW 4.0, SAP-BW 3.5, running BCS. We are trying to change the Breakdown Category of an FS Item going forward. The system allows to change and save the Breakdown Category as needed, but when we attempt to post a manual entry or run the data stream or any tasks, the BCS system crashes with the following error:
Transaction: UCWB_INT
Can we change the break down category like this mid wasy as changed by Shiva.

You should never change the break down category midway. Break down category is similar to a field status group in R/3. Though it will not throw any error when you are saving ,subsequently it will cause inconsistency since the already posted items will be looking for the changed objects. Say for example you are making change to a Functional area as required item for a FS item for which data has already been posted. When you are posting an item, system will look for this object even for the items which were posted earlier which results in inconsistency. If the changes are absolutely required then you need to run a program which will allow you to make changes the posted data earlier. Hope this is lear now.

SEM-BCS how to make Consolidation Unit with Business Area

Hi all,
I am newbie in SEM-BCS and implementing BW-based BCS. Our situation is as follows.
Situation
- we have 7 companies worldwide and 4 different Business areas.
   Every company consists of at least two business areas in R/3.
- we have sales transaction in FI among companies.
requirement
- we need consolidated F/S in whole consolidation group and consolidated F/S in Business area level.
actually, we are planning to make the consolidation unit in company level.
Do we have to break down consolidation unit in business area? or just breakdown category solves our requirement?
If we have sales transaction even between business areas within certain company, do we have to make it in business area?

Following are the answer to your questions
Q:   What to do for using this cube in BCS?
A:    Add the business area to the cube. Generate the data basis and the business area gets added to all ODS/DSO , virtual cube.
Suggestion: To avoid deleting the Profit center cube, since you can reduce the complication.
Q:   Is it the problem about DATA BASIS Role?
A:   No. Assign the role of subassignment or consolidation unit as needed. If you are giving the role of consolidation unit to business area, you need to insert the char Partner business area also in the cube.
Q:   Is there some materials to solve this situation?
A:   Refer the matrix consolidation material in help.sap.com from BCS portion. As per SAP literature any relevant object can be made as second consolidation unit such as business area, functional area etc. Dont fear. Once you start it the issue will be resolved in few days.
Expected complication:
If you are going to make business area as subassignment then it is simple. But if you are making business area as Consolidation unit, go for partner business area in cube.
Ensure with your BI consultant that all BCS messages are addressed in BI infoobject for business area specifically.
Things can get complicated only if we allow for it get complicated. But you are doing great.. Keep posted.. Good luck.!!!..

Material Type - Movement Type Link

Hello,
Need you help in following scenario.
We are doing stock transfer of packing materials (with mat type - ZPKG) from one plant to another. When PGI is being done against the delivery, it takes the movement type as 601 i.e. "GD goods issue:delvy" whereas it should show the movement as 641 i.e. "TF to stck in trans." and when receiving plant would do MIGO - it should hit the stock with movement type 101.
When same activity is done for Semi Finished Goods (with mat type - ZSFG), the PGI takes proper movement type i.e. 641.
Pl. let me know whether there is any link between material type and movement type.
Thanks & Regards
Ratna

Hello Revi & Dilli babu,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
It helped me to find the solution.
Actually for material type - Semi Finished Goods the item category in delivery doc was 'NLN' whereas for material type - Packing Material - it was 'HUPM'. But both the materials have same item category group as 'NORM'.
While item category 'NLN' is assigned to Schedule Line Category - 'NN' which has movment type - 641, item category 'HUPM' is assigned to Schedule Line Category - 'CN' which has movment type - 601.
In both the orders the order type is UB - i.e. Stock transfer order.
Our SD person will do the setting accordingly.
Thanks again.
Regards
Ratna

Preparation for Consolidation in SEM-BCS.

Hello All,
Im implementing SEM - BCS (BW-based). I have the following versions:
- R/3: SAP ECC 6.0
- BW: 7.0
- SEM: 6.0
What do I have to customize in R/3 in order to extract the correct data to BW?
Do I have to do all the customization in transaction SPRO (Enterprise Controlling -> Integration: Preparation for Consolidation)?
I know that I have to create the companies and assign them to the company codes. I also have to create group chart of accounts and assign it to the transactional chart of accounts.
Can I do this in the account master data or do I have to have a Financial Statement Version for the Group?
Is it necessary to maintain Transaction Types for Consolidation?
Do I have to customize the Consolidation Staging Ledger and extract the data from here to BW?
I think I have to customize all this, but because all this transactions are in EC-CS customizing and I want to implement SEM - BCS (in BW), Im not sure if this is the right path.
Can anyone help me?
Regards,
Helena

GANSHA,
what you are telling me is:
- I don´t have to do the customization in ECC. The only thing I have to do is, identify the tables and extract the data I need to BW.
But this way, how does the system know, which postings are from group companies or not?
The company code in R/3 is equivalent to company (consolidation unit role) in BCS. The Group companies are created in BCS and the companies in BCS are under those group companies.
If I were you, I would check whether Fiscal Year Variant is same across all company codes in R/3. I would also check whether parallel currencies are activated or not. Non-activation of parallel currency is not issue, but I will try to understand what are all the currencies involved and the currency translation flow.
I have created the companies in ECC in order to fill the "Trading Partner" field in the master data ( vendor, customer and G/L accounts) and to use on FI postings.
Yes, you have taken the right steps.
I have created the transaction types in ECC in order to use them on FI postings.
None of this is necessary? I dont have all the company codes in SAP, some of the data will be uploaded to BW by file.
The transaction types in ECC are different from the transaction types (also known as Movement Types) in BCS. You will continue to maintain the FI transaction types.
Regarding the chart of accounts, I dont have a group chart of accounts. For what I understand theres two ways:
- creating a group chart of accounts in ECC and in BW will be available as part of the GL account master data
or
- creating Financial statement items for consolidation in ECC, Build a Financial Statement Version for the Group (linking the operational chart of accounts to the consolidation items).
I think, this is the only way for me to use the consolidation staging ledger (totals table GLT3)? Or am I wrong?
What you are telling me is that I dont have to do this in ECC, but in BCS customizing?
Im confused ... please help me!!!
Helena
In your ECC, whether GLT3 table is activated? In many clients' companies, GLT3 table is not activated. The GL totals data is available in BSEG table.
If you do not have Group COA/ Group GL accounts maintained now, there are many ways to get GL totals data with Group GL level info added. You have already mentioned the steps.
One more method is create a custom mapping table of Operational GL accounts with Group GL accounts outside R/3 (to be maintained as part of BW) and make your R/3 GL totals data to flow thru this table, so that the final data in BW is available in both operational GL accounts and Group GL accounts. Developers will be able to help you.

FI-GL Activating for Consolidation SEM BCS

Hello together,
can somebody tell me in a few steps how to activate the FI-GL (0FI_GL_6) that it can be used for consolidation in SEM BCS. My problem is that FI_GL_6 (and also FIGL_C10 for new FI-GL) have not all required fields for consolidation in SEM BCS, especially movement type is missing.
I know how to use the BCS data collection functionality "load of data stream" and I also know how to activate the BI Content for FI (and how to connect the data basis from BCS with the "FI Cube" via source data basis).
But how can I prepare the FI Cube (DataSource, InfoSource) that it concludes all neccessary informations?
I need following InfoObjects in the BI Content: how to?
these InfoObjects are not containend in the standard FI-GL Business Content...or do you know other possibilities for getting FI-GL data in BW and ready for consolidation in BCS?
0PCOMPANY
0MOVE_TYPE
nicht notwendig
0FUNC_AREA
0COMP_CODE
0PROFIT_CTR
0COUNTRY
0PCOMPANY
0GL_ACCOUNT
Thanks for support

Hi MP M,
Hi Install all the components related to that flow.I mean Datasource,Transfer rules,Infosource,Update rules,Cube.Then nothing is missing in this flow which are in BI Content.
For the Info objects not in the flow
Search them individually from the BI Content and Install them.Later you map them respective fields in the transfer rules manually.Then maintain update rules to them.
Hope this helps

Karthik
