Hi Suneel,
If you are very good at BW, then obviously you can go ahead and learn BPS. As SEM is a planning tool within SAP and planning mainly involves financial planning. Its better if you are good at the processes of FI-CO before learning BPS, CPM and BCS.

Ravi

How BPS used for SAP BW

Hi all,
How SEM & BPS used for SAP BW.
please provide som example scenerio's.
how to create planning applications in BPS.
How to create Transcational Cubes & how do they differ with Basic Cubes.
Thanks,
Cheta.

Hi,
Business Planning and Simulation is a part of Strategic Enterprise Management. Business planning enables to produce a group-wide business plan. The business data plan adds an overall plan to the detailed plans that have been put together using the transaction systems components.
Business Planning and Simulation is a product from SAP that uses BW functionality to provide an integrated environment for all our business planning including budgeting and forecasting. Moreover , it is seamlessly linked into the reporting functionality that BW offers, giving a place to report Plan vs. Actuals. BPS allows us to instantly see the effects of change in the plan in a controlled way.
BPS started life as SEM-BPS, but as of BW version 3.5 , it is not included with BW as BW-BPS. All development of BPS functionality will continue within BW including the evolution of BI-IP(Integrated Planning)
Difference between Basic Info cube and Transactional Info cube :
Basic Infocube :
            - Basic info cube is a type of info cube that physically stores data. It is filled with data using BW staging, later it can be used in BEx reporting.
             - Basic info cubes are used for actual data.
Transactional Infocube:
                       - With a transactional Infocube, you can directly load data to it, without going through the usual transfer rules, update rules .eg. a transactional Infocube can be used to store plan data which is manually entered by the users in the planning layouts (in BPS). When the users save the data, it gets loaded to the cube directly.
            - Planning can only be carried out on Basic transactional info cube.

Function types for Balance Sheet Planning missing in SEM-BPS 6.0

Hi BPS experts,
After upgrading our BI-system from SEM 4.0 to SEM 6.0 (level 10) as part of the upgrade from BW 3.5 to BI 7.0 (level 15), the BPS function types for balance sheet planning are not available in the planning environment (Transaction code BPS0).
According to the SAP Library the balance sheet planning functions in SEM-BPS comprises of 6 standard function types - one of them is "Depreciation":
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem60/helpdata/en/0a/242537cedf2056e10000009b38f936/frameset.htm">help.sap.com -> Business Planning and Simulation (BW-BPS)</a>
Menu path: Business Planning Functions -> Functions for Balance Sheet Planning
In our existing SEM 4.0 we are using "Depreciation" and the functions based on this function type are of course short dumping when executed in our upgraded system (SEM 6.0) as the function type does not exist here.
Odd though - we do have the function type "Allocation" available in SEM 6.0, which should be delivered with SEM together with the Balance Sheet Planning function types (It is listed directly under "Business Planning Functions" in the SAP Library) .
I have tried to figure out whether we missed out on activating something during or after the system installation, but our basis consultant has not found anything in the installation guides related to this issue. Also I was wondering whether it could be a simple matter of activating some Business Content but without any luck.
Does anybody know why the Balance Sheet Function Types are not available in SEM-BPS 6.0?
Kind regards,
Lars

Looking for SEM-BPs Bw doc's and Traig material

Hi All
Guys please help me for BW BPS Training Material and Doc's
Thanks
Stob

Besides the How-to-Guides available in SDN, you can also refer help.sap.com
Goto SAP Netweaver> Information Integration>BW>BPS
To get a SEM oriented perspective, you can visit service.sap.com/sem; documentation on SEM-BPS is available there
Also, in help.sap.com....... if you go to mySAP ERP ; you can goto SEM and refer the BPS details there
From my experience if you are looking at help while doing hands on ...... help.sap can prove to be a handful
Cheers

ASAP for SEM BPS

Could anybody give pointers to this topic. Where can one find documents related to the ASAP roadmap for SEM implementation.
Jay

Take a look in service.sap.com/sem ... there's a quite good selection of docs about SEM suite (with BPS) under "media library. In service.sap.com/bw you can find an How to section related to SEM BPS since BW 3.5 incorporates these facilities.
Hope it helps

SEM-BPS 6.0 BPS_WB generate Web Interface BSP

Hi all,
We recently had a redirect of the portal connected to our NW04S BW development system and had worked thorugh the issues on the portal side so existing Iviews works (SEM-BPS 6.0).
We are now creating some new iview for a new applications but I cannot generate the BSP page. BPS_WB say that the BSP was generated correctly but when I try to test it, it says that http entry is missing and would I like to add it and when I say I do, it fails since I cannot generate a node under SICF since I do not have the authorization. I did an SU53 check and asked for 01 create on S_ICF_ADM but getting a lot of questions since 01 on S_ICF_ADM is reserved for Basis only on this project.
Another thing we are also concerned with is that some system settings that need to be done on the BW side might now have been done although Basis said all entries are changed..
I have to admit that the last time I worked with someone to set up portal connection to BPS was back in 2003 so I have to dig pretty deep into my memory and had been doing some quick searches but have not found anything obvious yet that would solve the regeneration issue except for the authorization addition which they are very hesitant about.
Any information or thoughts on this issue / problem would be appreciated.
Thansk,
Mary

Hello Mary,
I still work on BCS, so dont have BPS here. What I can do is to give you a summary of those things I had done in the past. Maybe it helps?
I gues you know that there are 2 diffren types of nodes: System nodes to enable connection to the web and the node for each web interface.
The required system nodes are describes in OSS 517484. I guess you have released them? Since BW Release 3.5 the web interface works with HTMLB. I guess you have activated thise too?`So the last possibility is from my point of view the web interface itself.
The node for the web interface existis already?
/default_host/sap/bc/bsp/sap/<your_web_interface>
In develop system the web interfaces will be activated manually normally. But in Prod automaticall because of not allowed customising. If the web interface has created such an entry already I think the only chance is to give the web interface another name in Development system - or to delete the existing node in the prod system (dangerous).
If this is not your problem, maybe another consultant has an idea?
regards
Eckhard Lewin

BW work experience before SEM-BPS?

Hello,
I am a SAP newbie. I have 5 years of Object-Oriented design and development experience using C++/Java. I also have a MBA and have worked in product management/marketing for enterprise software products (customer requirements gathering and defining next version of product, sales support on closing deals) and in strategy developoment.
My goal is to work in SAP-SEM, leveraging my technical and business background. I am currently taking training in BW as was told that I need to understand BW in depth before working in SEM.
I am wondering whether it is required/recommended that I work on one or more client projects in BW before I take up a job in SEM-BPS or another SEM module in order to be effective in a SEM job (after taking training in the appliable SEM module) or whether I can directly take up a SEM job without having to work in BW (but getting trained in BW and practicing the module on my own).
Thank you for any advice.
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
I suggest you go thoroughly through the standards related to accounting and consolidation:
IFRS 3 - Business Combinations
IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements
IAS 7 - Cash Flow Statements
IAS 14 - Segment Reporting
IAS 18 - Revenue
IAS 21 - The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates
IAS 27 - Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements
IAS 28 - Investments in Associates
IAS 31 - Interests in Joint Ventures
IAS 32 - Financial Instruments: Disclosure and Presentation
IAS 36 - Impairment of Assets
You should understand some basic accounting rules, like any profits/revenues/gains are always credit turnovers (negative in BCS), not only in the balanse sheet, but also in P&L etc.
Don't know any particular books that would be useful (certainly, there are some, I just don't know).
From the courses, it's without doubt SEM240, and probably AC660.
And I'm sure that in your neighborhood you'll be able to find some courses related to consolidation issues provided by Big Four firms. Might be very useful.
Best regards,
Eugene

SEM-CPM component for BI

Hi,
We are installing BI 7 and trying to work with Balanced ScoreCard. I did try t-code UMB_PRES1, and the system response was
Transaction UMB_PRES1 does not exist
Message no. S#343
Is it because we haven't install a component??? what component is that??
Is there another reazon???
thanks for the help.
Mauricio

Hi,
In SEM = Strategic Enterprise Management
These are part of SEM:
Business Consolidation (SEM-BCS)
Business Planning and Simulation (SEM-BPS)
Corporate Performance Monitor (SEM-CPM)
Business Information Collection (SEM-BIC)
I think transaction UMB_PRES1 for balance card belongs to SEM-CPM and you need to install add on for the same.
