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 - SAP Netweaver BI 7.0 and SEM-BW 600 -add on install issue

Dear BCS Consultants:
My client has installed NWeaver BI 7.0 and SEM BW 600 - add-on.
However, when I tried to access BCS, it says 'lock table overflow'.
Am I supposed to configure something before I access BCS or it is a Basis issue?
Is there any other support package to be installed?
Please guide me.
Thanks ins advance.
SAI2

Yes..This is a Basis Issue. I got the same error and the Basis resolved it.
Btw...Did you guys install SEM 6.0 on top of BI 7.0 right ?
Please confirm as my client basis is in confusion on this..
Thanks in advance,

SEM BCS - Error in Consolidation Area

Dear Experts,
When i save my consolidation area, there is an error message.
it is "Syntax error in GP_ERR_UCDTYPE, row 8.880".
The Diagnosis said "Component called REFYEAR already exists".
I can not found "REFYEAR" in my system.
I am using info cube 0BCS_C11.
Please help....
Thanks in advance.

Hello
Though I am not an expert in this area I have found the following information with a similar problem in another customer that maybe useful:
"On the basis of your problem description it seems that you assigned in
the data basis maintenance the `SEM-BCS info-object catalogue` for
characteristics and key figures to the two info-object catalogues (on
the first tab strip of data basis maintenance). This makes the trouble.
Please read the F1 help carefully and if you need an extra info-object
catalogue, then please create one. Please note that the SEM-BCS standard
info-object catalogues are NOT appropriate for this purpose.
F1 help:
"InfoObject Catalog for Characteristics
InfoObject catalog of the SAP Business Information Warehouse to include
additional characteristics.
Use
You use this field as follows:
In a data basis, the InfoObject catalog contains the quantity of
additional fields that can be selected on the Additional Financial Data
tab page for investments and equity.
In a source data basis, the InfoObject catalog portrays the definition
of an external field catalog, which can be used in a method of the
category Flexible Upload, if a data basis was allocated to the source
data basis."
In order to remove the info-object catalogs you can use the transaction
UCWB01.
Hope it helps .

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.

Hi Ramanathan and welcome to SDN!
Everything depends on your settings in a flexible upload method.
You may use a comment character (like an asterisk) to show fields names and choose a fields delimiter (say, ';').
In this case you may have a file for upload something like the following.
These are fields in a header
Field1 Field2 Field3 Field4 etc.
Field1Val;Field2Val;Field3Val;Field4Val
These are fields in rows
Field5 Field6 Field7 Field8 etc.
Field8Val;Field8Val;Field8Val;Field8Val
Field8Val;Field8Val;Field8Val;Field8Val
Field8Val;Field8Val;Field8Val;Field8Val

S_ALR_87012247 - Customer Balances and Line Items in Local Currency

Hi All,
This report S_ALR_87012247 - Customer Balances and Line Items in Local Currency is not displaying line items for customers in ECC6. Is there any configuration required to get the line items? Please help
Thanks
Sridevi

If you see this report S_ALR_87009950, you will get
Opening Balance at the start of fiscal year
Debits and Credit during the reporting period
and the Cumulative Balance.
Please note the above report will not give you line item details.
S_ALR_87012247 report is specifically for poland, in the description it is mentioned that the line items will be displayed, unfortunately, for other countries, there are no line items visible. Therefore, you may explore the possibility of copying this report and changing the code in order to bring the line items along with the totals.

GL A/c Balances and GL Line Item balances are different

Hi All,
There is a GL balance difference in the TDS Payable accounts for the fiscal year 2008.
The FBL3N, GL line item balance and the GL Balances in FAGLB03(FS10N) is showing the different.
I believe that there should always be the same balances reflecting in both the Transactions.
Any one explain in this regard as to why and how these differences are existing.
Thanks and regards,
kumar

Dear Babu,
I checked in all types. I mean i selected open item , all items ( from n to date wise ) etc. But the balance is not matching because of only one accounting entry. If you don't mind could you give ur mail id, so that i can send the screen shots of that.
if you have any gmail id provide otherwise some other mail id.
Thanks

Difference between cumulative balance and line items total in FS10N

hi,
when I am executing FS10n, I observed that the cumulative balance amount is not equal to line items total . This is due to some amounts in previous years are varying from the line ltem totals in those periods of previous years.
This is not happening with QA server only Prdn server is facing this problem. Can anybody provide me a way to solve this..!?
Regards,
AJo
I have checked the master data for the GL and the check box for line item display is selected. It has not been changed for years.

Hi Anil,
The reason for the differences that you are viewing can be various. As the differences are found in the cummulative balance then it means that the differences might have occurred in previous fiscal years. The first stetp is to find when these differences were originated: You can run report SAPF190 (in se38) for previous fiscal years, and company code in question- This report should show the differences with message "Errors" in the log. If differences are found then you have to creeate a message and send it to SAP for further analysis and corrections.(only SAP experts can do this kind of corrections - component FI-GL-GL-X)
Also bear in mind that if you did archiving in previous fiscal years then this would not be an error:
If you already did archiving and secondary index deletion on this accounts with SAPF048I. So this explains why line items balance and GL summary balance differ ! There is no programm error.
See consulting note 81489 which describes this issue:
The balance of an account results from the balance of the open items. In
connection with an archiving that has been carried out, the line item
display - used with cleared items - must not therefore be interpreted as
a balance display. For the balance display, there are separate
correspond to the display balance of the open items from the line item
display.
Having archived and deleted secondary indexes ( with SAPF048I )
for an account you can not use line item drill down as a balance
display any more for a line item managed account.
( as not all line items are existing any more in table BSIS ! )
The transactions meant to display the binding balances are FS10N,
FK10N and FD10N.
They also give you the line items details, but only of those line
items not yet deleted ( by SAPF048I ).
kind regards,
Oscar Diaz

Inconsistencies betwen balance and line items

Hello masters!
I found some inconsistencies betwen balance and line items. I tried to solve the problem using FAGLF03 and RFINDEX (when executing SAP retrieved: "New GL is active. GLT0 can not be adjusted") but both did not work.
We have never gone trough an archiving process.

Differences between SEM BCS and SAP BPC

Hello All,
Can you please let me know the differences between SEM BCS and SAP BPC. What I know is SEM BCS is an SAP product for Financial Consolidation (Legal and Management). SAP BPC is the new product taken over from Outlooksoft. It also features the consolidationa and planning functionalities. Can you please suggest which is a better product.
Regards
Vikram

There is nothing like better or worse product.
BCS has some strong features like consolidation monitor, investment consolidation and for most consolidation functions, configuration is very easy. In BPC, you may have to write scripts.
BCS has BW as the backbone where for BPC 5.1 there is none. Howveer, in BPC 7.0, the BPC will rest on BI and things will be much better.
