SEM-BCS Journal Posting for Elim.inventory

Hi,
I have setting for Elim.inventory as below :
In menu "posting item", I set "Finished Good" as an inventory item. And in the folder "Offsetting Item", I set "Net Sales" for debit side and "COGS unrealised profit on inventory" for credit side.
After that,
I input AFD for inventory managing unit (cons unit AA) => book value = 300 USD
for Supplying managing Unit (cons unit BB) => Gross Margin=25%.
Then I execute tas for Elim.inventory.
It create journal as follow :
Dr Net Sales 75
Cr Finished Good 75
Dr B/S current Year Profit 75
Cr P/L current Year Profit 75
Is that journal correct? because my accounting user said that it should be as follow :
Dr Net Sales 300
Cr COGS unrealised profit 225
Cr Finished Good 75
The other question is :
How to set the "freight cost" ? and what are the journal like ?
Thanks in advance

For the sake of truth:
your entries also were correct (and even more correct than I proposed).

SEM BCS - Block Posting and Data Entry

Hi Everybody,
I have a scenario to share with you:
I do not want to make any postings other that automatic roll up of P&L into rollup accounts like Retained earnings. What will be the effect If I enable the functionality "Block Posting and Data Entry" for these accounts?
Please share your views.
Thanks
RJ

According to my understanding and experience, this option is useful to refrain the local users from posting on the opening movement type => this opening position should be be calculated by the system during the carry forward only. The exception is the period of the system initialization, i-e the first closing period in BCS, where the opening MT can be impacted by anyone, on all Posting Levels.
This assumption also means that the central users (i-e users who perform the "top" consolidation activities) shall not be impacted by this option : they are thus allowed to modify this MT during cons group change activities (PL02, 12, 22) and top conso adjustements (PL30), whatever the period.

SEM-BCS Duplicate posting of currency translations

Dear BCS Gurus:
During the Testing Run of the Total Records, the following error is noticed:
The system automatically posts the currency differences to the clearing accounts defined under Items> Selected Items> Clearing B/S and I/S accounts.
The posting also occurs in the currency transalation account specified in the translation difference tab in the currency translation --> Method. It is, thus, posted twice. The client does not want the clearing posting which is created by the system. Is there a way to solve this problem? If so, let me know.
I appreciate your time.
Thanks.

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, Renee

Renee,
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 vs Hyperion

My client is unable to take a decision on software selection between Hyperion and SEM BCS - 4.0 for consolidations. The company is already implemented SAP -4.6c and wants to go for consolidation implementation. Hence, client is in dilemma for choosing software. Can anybody face the situation where SEM-BCS is superior than Hyperion software. if so, Please forward me the presentation/ comparison to support the SEM-BCS implementation.

Hello
SEM BCS and ECCS both are consolidation applications of SAP System.
ECCS is based on R/3 where as SEM BCS is based on BW.
There are no special circumstances, however SEM BCS is the latest version. Moreover the recent direction of SAP is towards BPC u2013

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.

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 Bernardos

Hi
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

Manish

Audit Report Fix (Manual Journal Entries for Inventory)

Hello!
Curious if anyone has been able to fix an inventory audit report using journal entries?
For example: if an item was on inventory account 1500 based on it's item group assignment, then say 20 items are received for $1 each, then 5 are sold at $1 then the item group is switched and now it has an inventory account of 1520 and 5 more items are issued out.
Running the audit report summarizing by accounts will show $15 as the balance in 1500 and -5 in 1520. So when we go to actually check the accounts to reconcile them at the end of a period, our inventory accounts are always off.
I have identified manual journal entries meant to 'fix' a GL account, but these have made the audit report basically unusable for reconciliation.
Is there a way to journalize a change in the inventory accounts while making the change occur in OINM as well??
I have looked through several expert empowerment sessions that acknowledge this as a problem, but do not offer any solutions.
Thanks!
Mike

Hi Mike:
Changing Item groups while inventory is on hand is a problem. I have found a way to correct this, but it is a multi step process. I would try this in DEMO first to make sure you get the proper results.
Try this.
Below is the procedure for correcting the G/L Accounts on your Inventory Audit Report It is complicated and needs to be performed when no other users are in the system. Journal entries will not correct this problem.
Here it is.
1.     Review Inventory Audit Report by Summarize by Accounts for the item.
2.     Do a Misc. Issue to remove the inventory.
3.     Review Inventory Audit Report again.
4.     Change the Acct # on the Item Group for the Inventory Item to match the negative value account number. CAUTION! Make sure that users are not performing transactions on the system when you do this.
5.     Do another Good Receipt for 1 each at price shown in Negative value account number. Enter as a positive number.
6.     Re-run the Inventory Audit to confirm that the negative account has been zeroed out.
7.     Change Item Group Inventory account to remaining positive value account number.
8.     Do an Inventory Issue for quantity of 1 each.
9.     Re-run the Inventory Audit Report for the item. All accounts should now have zero value.
10.     Change Item Group account setting back to correct account for future.
I hope it works for you.

Vicki Smith

How to correct journals for non inventory items

Hi All,
One of my client by mistake made a non-inventory item as an inventory item and used FIFO valuation.
Now he has created some 30 purchase invoices, goods receipt PO for it in the last month.
While doing month end they reconcillation they realized the inventory numbers are bloated and found this problem.
Now they have cancelled the old item defination and created a new one.
But the problem is how to correct the journal entries for the what has already been done.
Problem is that Cost of this item is wrong because it got created as a inventory item and was using FIFO.
Please suggest a fastest route to correct this problem.
Regards,
Divam

Hi Divam........
I guess Inventory revaluation is not possible in case of Non Inventory Item. You must take the goods return on GRN basis......

Any landscape recommendations for 2004s BI & SEM-BCS 6.0 ?

Hi,
in addition to our ERP 2005 we plan to set up a separate central BI 7.0 for following integrated NW2004s scenarios:
- Enterprise wide central reporting, query and analysis.
- BI Integrated Planning (successor of SEM-BPS).
- SEM-BCS 6.0.
Question:
Should the BCS be installed on a separate system, because of patch interdependencies with the central BI?
If yes, does BCS still need its own local BI, or can it run remotely with the central BI (like the old BW-BPS)?
Similar sap recommendations exist only for SEM-BPS, which we won't use in favor of BI Integrated Planning.
I searched the whole sap.marketplace for this, in vain.
The installations and combination-possibilities are beautifully explained, but no official recommendations about what should all be put on one central BI and what should be better kept apart.
Rumors say you should keep SEM out of your central BI and give it its own BI, to avoid painful patch/release dependencies.
What about the "single point of truth"-conecept in one central BI then?
Thank's for any hints ...
Robert

Hi Eugene,
thanks for your callback. Here an example:
Say, you need a BI-Patch (urgent bug-fix) or may be a BI-Upgrade to be able to use new functionalities for your Enterprise wide central reporting, query and analysis (since you don't use the BI only for BCS).
So, you would have to wait, until the same is also available for SEM-BCS, as it it tightly coupled to the BI (e.g. direct writing to transactional cubes, query via virtual cube augmented with data at query-runtime).
Notes like 727776 and 317339 just make me suspicious.
A similar SAP Help-hint is only available for BW-BPS (but we will use BI integrated Planning)
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/en/44/584041b02e4c0de10000000a1550b0/content.htm
Since more and more SAP-Applications need a BI, i am desperately missing a comprehensive overview, which of them should not be placed in the same BI for technical reasons (e.g. one sap-note says Bank-Analyzer and SEM-BCS should not be on the same BI).
Regards
Robert

Remote Extractor and Real Time Infocube for SEM BCS

Hi Experts,
I have somes doubts about the integration between SEM and BW.
There is a cycle that have the next processes:
1.- begin in R/3 with the movements in FI, CO and/or general ledgers
2.- Activate the extractors standards for replicate/extract data to BW. For example, 0FI_GL_XXXX.
3.- Configure a method for take the information from BW to SEM.
4.- My doubt begin here... For take the information from SEM to the real time infocube, where I configure? What Have I for configure?
The real time infocube, What is the proposal? Where take the data? Here, Do the remote extractor begin to apply?
Thank you very much for your collaboration.
Regards,
Jeysi Ascanio

We're using 0FI_GL_20 to read directly from FAGLFLEXT into SEM-BCS via a BI remote cube. There are some basic transformations in BI to "populate" the remote cube, then a standard Load from Data Stream in BCS to do final mappings. In the BCS workbench, just create a source data basis off the remote cube.
This works at my current project due to fairly low ECC data volumes. If you are doing any complex mapping on the Company or Fiscal Year / Period infoobjects, you may need to create a inverse mapping routine in the remote cube to transfer selection criteria. If you see messages in the monitor following a data load such as "xx,xxx of xxx,xxx records ignored", that means that you are reading too much data from ECC and it is only getting filtered on the BCS side. We had this problem with a custom extractor and adding an inverse mapping routine cut the load from ~5min to 30sec. (Basically, the custom, template-delivered, extractor only had 0FISCPER, not 0FISCPER3 and 0FISCYEAR, so we would read all 17 K4 periods into BI, map them into BCS, then BCS would throw out the unneeded periods. Unfortunately, we did not have the option to change the extractor, so this was the best approach.).
If I had large data volumes, I would use a regular BI basic cube for staging (or possibly a multi-cube with a mix of basic and realtime, depending on the load requirements to BCS).
If you use 0FI_GL_20, I would strongly recommend you implement OSS Note 1245822, or be on SAP_APPL 603.0002 or later.
Hope that helps,
- Chris

Transactional data for SEM-BCS

Dear experts!
We are working in a SEM-BCS project and wonder which is the best solution to load data from FI-GL into BCS.
As far as I know there are two possibilities to do this:
.) extract form RFBILA00 and then use the flexible upload method
.) load the data into a FI-GL-cube in BW and then use the read from data stream method
Does anybody have experience with these two variants and know about the advantages/disadvantages?
Does it make a difference if you use new or old general ledger (concerning the load scenario)?
For me the load from the info cube looks more elegant, but the sap help documentation describes only the RFBILA00-extract (if you look for integration with other SAP systems).
Thanks in advance for any help.
Best regards
Michael

Hi Michael,
- Abt. RFBILA00 - I tried to use it but refused. Maybe I wasn't lucky enough, but I couldn't get partners.
- Abt extraction to BW - try to use 0SEM_BCS_10.
- I also used to activate extraction total records to GLT3 and then using the generic datasource extracted it in BW.
- There are many ways for extacting data in BW. I even saw such a decision where the whole huge BSEG table was used.
A work with new GL, IMHI, is preferable for BCS consolidation since there are some features that make a life a bit easier (it's easier to setup ERP in order to extract all info needed).

Authorizations for tasks (R_UC_TASK) / Best Practice SEM-BCS authorization

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
Marco

Hello 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
Harry
