SEM-BCS elimination task
Hi experts,
I ran a elimination task for Accounts payable/accounts receivable for my first consolidation period, but account balance for payable is taking the movements for CURRENT YEAR only 34,474.78, is not taking the cumulative balance current year + end balance 2005 -(34,474.78 ) = zero
As a result the elimination identified a difference.
I ran the balance carryforward for 2005 and 2006 without errors o warnings
I don't know how can I fix this.
Thanks for your help

Hi Dan,
No I don't have YDT. Do I need to add this Key figure to my BCS cube? Do I need to change the task config.?
Thanks for you response

Hi
When i execute copy task to copy the data from one version to another.
the system is applying wrong currency transalation.
example
source version is 500 GC - INR
Target version is 700 GC - USD
Issue is coming when in the target one of hte consolidation unit is USD.
the system is converting the Group Currency amount which is in the consolidation unit in 500 version when moving the data to 700 version.
it is not making the Local currency amount equal to Group currency amount.
thanks in advance for the help

How unrealised sales is handled by SEM - BCS?
Hi all,
For intercompany transferred of inventory at profit, there are two elimination involved:-
- Unrealised Sales
- Unrealised Profit & Loss
In SEM BCS, elimination of unrealised profit & loss is handled by IPI. How about unrealised sales?
Many thanks.
Regards, ReneeRenee,
You cannot post directly to clearing items. That's why you get the error. The only possibility is to do it with reclasses on 01-10 level of postings without the doc type assigned.
But you don't need it. AFAIU, you try to make entries for unrealised profit in inventory? Then the entries you make should be as following:
DR COGS (or any other cost/expense account) in P&L
CR Inventory (B/S)
The system will automatically add:
DR Clearing item in B/S
CR Clearing item in P&L
It's how the clearing items work.
For an example of this functionality (maybe it'll help you to configure it properly) see here:

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. -
Dear Experts,
I am quite new to authorizations and in particular to SEM-BCS authorization. So I would be happy if you could help me with the following requirement:
We have to setup an authorization concepts for SEM-BCS. Among others we want to setup authorizations for consolidations tasks using authorization object R_UC_TASK. With this authorization object certain tasks can be restricted to certain characteristic values u2013 e.g. for a certain consolidation group or a certain consolidation unit. We have defined a role each for certain consolidation tasks. These roles are not restricted to any characteristic value yet. We have for instance a role u201Cregional controlleru201D who is allowed to perform certain BCS tasks on a regional level (consolidation unit level). This would mean that we would have to create the role u201Cregional controlleru201D for all consolidation units u2013 see example below:
Role 1: Regional Controller u2013 Cons. Unit 1000
Role 2: Regional Controller u2013 Cons. Unit 1100
Role 3: Regional Controller u2013 Cons. Unit 1200
Role n: Regional Controller u2013 Cons. Unit n
We have more than 400 consolidation units. So this would require a high effort. Is there instead a possibility of creating one role based on authorization object R_UC_TASK which just defines which activities can be performed (without restricting access to a certain consolidation unit). , and using second role which defines the consolidation unit access? u2013 see example below:
A
Role: Regional Controller
Role: Cons Unit 1000
B
Role: Regional Controller
Role: Cons Unit 1100
C
Role: Regional Controller
Role: Cons Unit 1200
In this case we only would have to maintain one role u201CRegional Controlleru201D and we only would have to assign the restriction for the consolidation unit. How could this be realized? Or do you have any other ideas to solve this requirement in a simple way?
Moreover I would be happy if you could tell me where I could find best practice scenarios for SEM-BCS authorizations.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Best regards
MarcoHello Marco,
you can enter a master role in the description tab of a role. All fields populated via program PFCG_ORGFIELD_CREATE can be maintained in the role. All other fields will be taken from the master role. So you only need to populate the field for unit with the program.
Good luck

Hi all,
Has someone configured SEM-BCS without the carry forward task.
And can you share the pros and cons of doing this?
Thanks, AlvinThanks 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 -
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
TksIt 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. -
Copy data posting level 20 - 30 is not allowed SEM BCS
Hi expert,
We need to copy data from a version to another version, is very
important for us to import documents with posting level 20/30. Copy
task is only used for documents with posting level 01 - 10. But, in EC - CS we could to execute the copy program for this kind of documents,
and we are migrating from Ec-cs to SEM BCS so, we need to keep the same
funcionality.
Any idea in order to solve it? Badi´s? user exits?
Thanks in advance,
Beatriz BernardosHi
It is not possible to copy data at posting level 20 and 30 as they are group entries.
Logically, it should not allow one to copy the entry at posting level 20 and 30.
SAP doesnt support copying data at posting level 20 and 30.
I had same kind of requirement in all of my BCS project but I believe logically it is not correct to copy group level entry.
Alterntively, what you can do is,
create export datasource to load the data back into BCS integration cube from BCS total records virtual cube by changing posting level 20/30 to 01 or 10 in the update rule.
It still believe it will give you the wrong result in the report.
Please have a common understanding with customer that it is not possible copy posting level 20/30

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.

Hi Experts
have you worked with ERP 6.0 and SEM BCS into the ERP?
in ERP 6.0 all SEM components like BCS, BPS, CPM are in the same system as "add on" or I dont Know, is posible to work with this componentes from ERP?
I think is necessary install SEM BW and plug ins, I will apreciate your comments about this..
Thanks in advanceI realize that this is a BCS SEM forum and I do believe that OLAP is a better technology than OLTP for consolidation functionality, but there are "equivalent" BCS transactions in ECC as well. UCMON is "roughly" CX20. The consolidation menu is CX00(N) and customization is CX01(N). Both have been visible directly after entering "/n" in OK Code input field.
For more go to menu CX000 (nonCX transactions may not work due to reasons mentined earlier in the thread):

SEM BCS-BW Reports development
Hi All,
I need help and suggestion from your side .
We have X -reports in SAP-BW whcih are actual & planning cubes based .
We have Reporting & Total cubes in separate system (SEM-BCS)
So req is that we need to develop Y-new reports in SEM-BCS as it is the X-reports which are avialable in SAPBW.
Problem is that while developing new Y Reports in SEM-BCS many Char Infobjects & Time Char,Key fig are missing in SEM-BCS cubes .
Please suggest me how to proceed.
Thanks&Regards
VenkatHi Venkat,
I'm afraid that there is not much we can help you with. Everything in your case depends on the specifics, details.
I can give only some suggestions. In many cases it's either impossible or meaningless to build all the reports from one reporting cube. That's why, first of all, try (yourself or with the help of functional people) separate all the reports you need to build into 1. using non-consolidated data (it might be a simple sum of all ConsUnits figures, without eliminations) and 2. using consolidated data.
For 1st category, I beleive, you may use just BW cubes. For the 2nd one - BCS cubes. Take into account that the BCS cubes have some limitations on the key figures and time chars usage. And it's not prudent (or feasible) to insert such non-standard (for BCS) infoobjects. Insist on reasonable limitation of reports to be built from the BCS cubes by those which are really relevant for consolidation.
Another investigation to be considered is: examine if planning, forecating and actual data are comparable -- I met such a situation when details and subassignments of budget data was significantly different from those of actual.

Hi Friends,
I will have technical discussion on SEM BCS. Please send me the some useful material on SEM BCS and
please send me any FAQ's from interview presepevtive.I would appriceiate if any body respond to this post.
It would be very great helpful for me.
what are the impaortant areas we need to cover.
Please ahre ur vies on this.
Will assign the points.
Thanks in advance.Hi SAPSEM,
From your past posting I understand you are good in BW. Hence know well the distinction between basic cube, transcational cube, virtual cube and what context it is used. You must know why the reporting is prepared on VC. Cover the BCS dataflow, data stream ,reporting, performance, consolidation area properties, method/task/document type. Try to know well the master data part of BCS well.
Good BCS literatures is available in service.sap.com, but most exhaustive one is help.sap.com.

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
