SEM-BPS vs myFinancial (business Analytics)

hello
I have read in a book that the planing functions are distributed. e.g. balance planing is in SEM-BPS and the profit planning is in Financial Analytics (business Analytics).
So where I can find a overview? or can somebody write me this.
And I want to ask. If we have Netweaver 4 (included BPS) can we planning balance or can we palnning profit?
Please tell me why.
I hope somebody can help me. I'm very confused.
thanks

I can also only guess, but the xApps Analytics focus is "Analytics", while many Business Packages are more on the transactional side. So I guess we will still se both in the future.

I checked the document status and tested the link myself using a PC external to the SAP environment and did not have any problem. You do have to be logged in to do this. If you are not, you should see a page that will appear which says that a login is required to use that feature. On some occassions, users see an error message instead. I apologize for that.

How to find BW-BPS Business Content / SEM-BPS Business Content

Hi All
We have BW 3.5 and SEM 4.0 in our system. I am trying to find some Business Content for BPS. It seems that there is no Business content for BW-BPS. I know there is Business Content for SEM-BPS. My question is how do I get to the SEM-BPS Business Content. Is there any T-code or something to go and find the Business Content. I am trying to find a Planning area for Cost Center.
Please provide me with some details. I would appreciate any help ASAP.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Nag

Hi Nag,
The process is different to the normal BW process, instead of installing it directly on your client, you have to select the process in client 000 and then import in your working client.
The process is as follows:
1) log on to client 000 of your BW system
2) goto transaction UPB_APPL_IMPORT (in client 000 of course) and click the planning function you want to install the busines content of
3) run transaction UPB_APPL_IMPORT; this will generate a transport request
4) release this transport in client 000
5) import in the working client
Most of the planning areas are defined as remote planning areas, you will receive an error if you try to access them.
Switch to local planning areas in the planning area.
You also have to install the BW transactional cubes, this can be done using the normal BW business content transactions.
Thanks for your points, but only if I deserved them.
Best Regards,
Filip Ledoux

Analysis Authorization with SEM-BPS

Hi,
We have performed technical upgrade from BW 3.5 to BI 7.0. We want to migrate to BI 7.0 functionality phase wise.
We have SEM-BPS and now we want to migrate to Analysis Authorization of BI 7.0.
Once we have igrated to Analysis Authorization, will there be any impact on SEM-BPS? Can we still use SEM-BPS with New Analysis Authorizations? We do not want to move to BI-IP in near future?.
Please advise.
Best Regards,
UR

Dear UR,
Iu2019m going to try helping you,
In difference of reporting functionality, in planning, the data of an InfoCube is not just read; it is also changed or created.
There are two planning tools in BI: BW-BPS (Business Planning and Simulation), and BI Integrated Planning.
There are two main tcode: BPS0 and RSPLAN
There are three authorization objects to manage Integrated Planning:
S_RS_PL_ADMIN - Planning Administrator
S_RS_PL_PLANNER u2013 Planner
S_RS_PL_PLANMOD_D u2013 Planning Modeler (Development System)
The main object in the planning scenario is InfoCube real-time, where can available writing in small package that arrive in parallel. In some cases the security requirements for reporting and planning can be merging. In this case you need authorization object for checking planning, as authorization object above, and you need authorization object for using a query for planning requires as S_RS_COMP.
In addition to authorization for displaying data, the authorizations for changing data you need analysis authorization (the analysis authorization focus in the InfoProvider, no in Aggregation Level).
In your analysis authorization design for reporting stuff, you should use in 0TCAACTVT characteristic 03 value. In the planning stuff, you should use in 0TCAACTVT characteristic 03 and 02 values. As explain following:
Using the characteristics 0TCAACTVT (activity), you can restrict the authorization to different activities. Read (03) is set as the default activity; you must also assign the activity Change (02) for integrated planning.

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

Integrated planning Content and SEM-BPS Content

Hi Experts
Is there any integrated planning Business Content for CRM? Where do I find it?
SEM-BPS has Business Content planning scenarios for CRM. Is this BC also available in BW-BPS now? Where do I find it?
We use NW04s BI and CRM 5.0.
Kind regards
Erik

Hello Erik,
as of now I have not heard of such content.
Also SAP is not talking about CRM-content for BIIP yet. What we have learned is that a lot effort is put into making the system stable and going for "additional" functionalities like BC later.
What you could do is use BW-Business Content for CRM as far as possible (InfoCubes etc. ) and build the Aggregation Levels, Queries & Templates by yourself.
Hope this helps
Daniel

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 BPS - initial setup

Hi All,
I am new to SEM BPS, could you please guide me in the initial setup process please?

Hi,
There is no initial setup process.
BPS is just a tool embedded in BW for creating planning applications which comes with some pre-defined planning areas.
You must have a business requirement and then, according to it, develope an application in BPS.
