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).

  • R/3 Data Source for SEM BCS

    Hi Guys,
    I am using 0FI_GL_4 data source of R3 for SEM BCS.Am i right in doing so,please guide.
    As per my understanding transaction data has to be taken to BCS for consolidation and hence this is the relevent data source.
    Please provide comments on my understanding.
    We are working in the following enviornment:
    R3 version ECC6.0
    SEM BCS ver 6.0
    BW ver 7.0
    Best Regards

    Hi Amit,
    It is enough normmally.
    There are many  data sources. It all depends what is your reporting requirement or what level of data to be extracted.

  • Extraction fo data for SEM 6 from ECC6

    Hi Gurus,
    We are working on to set up SEM 6.0 with ECC6 as the transactioanl system.
    Please could you help solving the following doubts in this regard: -
    1) Is this true that in order to get consolidation relevant fields (like Trading partner, Partner profit center
    etc.) we should use DS 0SEM_BCS_10 and not DS 0FI_GL_10? SAP Note 852971 suggests as follows: -
    '.......The DataSource 0FI_GL_10 is available in the BI business content for the extraction of data of the leading ledger from the new general ledger accounting to BW. However, only one part of the transferred fields can be updated by the structure of the data flow saved in the BI content. This is due to technical constraints during the update into an ODS object. The partner fields that are relevant for consolidation are not updated in the InfoProvider 0FI_GL_10 and, therefore, you cannot use it as the "staging" InfoProvider for SEM-BCS.
    SAP delivers the DataSource 0SEM_BCS_10 for the data collection of the leading ledger from the new general ledger into the consolidation. This allows you to set up another data transfer branch to SEM-BCS without affecting the data transfer to the InfoProvider of the new general ledger......'
    What is not clear from above is whether we need to use both the data sources or we can manage with 0SEM_BCS_10.
    2) Is the BI content statging cube for BCS 0FI_GL_10?
    3) I believe that we need to create some other data sources to load data from non-leading ledgers. Are we going to load data from non-leading ledgers to the same staging cube in BW (0FI_GL_C10)? If yes how the data will be differentiated? There could be various sets of data in the same inforprovider for each parallel ledger.
    Please advise.
    BR,
    SSC

    Hi,
    1. We use 0SEM_BCS_10. It clear said in notes that 0FI_GL_10 is not useful.
    2. No, AFAIK, it's a custom cube.
    3. If you use the flex GL why you are going to use non-leading ledger.
    More info you may find using search.

  • Transport Transaction Data Tool in BCS

    Hi All,
    I understand that in ECCS, there's functionality where we can transport the transaction data which is stored in ECMCA as well as ECMCT via t-code CX0TA (export and import transaction data), for example from development system to production system.
    In ECCS, I used this function since all testing data in development system are all real data. So in order to avoid developing the other tool to transport these data, we use this CX0TA function.
    Now, when I use BCS, I only see the transport tool for customising and master data. No transport tool for transaction data.
    My question is, is it true that the BCS 4.0 do not include this function anymore? Or do I miss some activation so I can not see the functions in this version?
    Any advise will be highly appreciated.
    regards,
    Halim

    Hi Halim,
    AFAIK, there is no possibility to transport transaction data in 4.0:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sem40bw/helpdata/en/bf/df183d30805c59e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
    And I think there is a reason in it. As you know, transaction data coming to BCS should comply with the format and consistency the system expects.
    Transport in BCS is tricky. And there is no guarantee that everything was transported correctly. Hence, the possibility of transaction data load failure is big.

  • How to get XLR to show BPs with no transaction data for a given date range

    Hi -
    I am building an XLR report that does a comparison of net sales data across two periods for a given sales employee's BPs.
    The report has the row expansion:
    FACT BPA(*) SLP(SlpName = "ASalesPersonNameHere") ARDT(Code = "ARCreditMemo", "Invoice") Group by BPA.CardName
    and column expansions:
    FIG(SO_TaxDate = @StartDate:@EndDate)
    and
    FIG(SO_TaxDate = @StartDate2:@EndDate2)
    where @StartDate, @EndDate, @StartDate2, @EndDate2 are parameters that define the two ranges of dates.
    The column formulas are, from left to right:
    =ixDimGet("BPA", "CardName")
    =ixGet("SO_DocTotal")      <-- filtered by column expansion for first date range
    =ixGet("SO_DocTotal")      <-- filtered by column expansion for second date range
    The report works fine except for one problem, I would like it to include BPs for which no transaction occurred in either date range as well.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Lang Riley

    Really appreciate your feedback!  Those are good suggestions. I should have mentioned that I had already tried both those suggestions.
    Removing FACT on BPA in this case ends up returning all the BPs and not respecting the SLP(SlpName = "aName") part of the query. 
    Using **, i.e., * or #NULL, makes no change in the resulting data in this case.  I had thought that ** would be the solution, but it didn't change the outcome.  I still have BPs for which when their sales employee is used as the filter and they have no transactions for either date range, and yet they still do not appear. 
    I should further mention that the IXL query, as it now stands, does return BPs for which one of the periods has no data, just not both, and I have verified that applicable BPs with no transaction data for both periods do exist in my data set.  It seems that perhaps the IXL query needs to be restructured?  Please keep the suggestions coming including how this query might be restructured if necessary.

  • Upload transaction data for transactions like KSU2/KSU5,KB31N

    We are trying to upload transaction data for transactions like KSU2/KSU5,KB31N etc using batch data processing within LSMW. We are facing couple of problems as mentioned:<br />
    We have to upload data, which has a single header record with 200-300 line items record. How to define target structures to represent header & line items. Currently we are able to upload header data with 1-2 line items depending upon the recording. The present recording gives us option to load 1 line item per document. <br />
    Can excel be used instead of text file for uploading data in LSMW? <br />
    During processing of transaction, User clicks on button and checks a value. Based on this value the future course of action is determined. How can we do the BDC recording or do customization (Write a custom code) <br />
    If errors occur during upload of data, will the processing stop at that line item or will it ignore the error record and continue processing of the remaining data. <br />
    How can we write custom code to modify the data during BDC session and not before session? <br />
    Immediate pointers to this would be very useful. Let me know if more information is required.<br />
    <br />
    Thanks,<br />

  • Delete Transactional data for one (1) Cost element

    Hi All.
    How to Delete Transactional data for one (1) Cost element?
    i know T code OKC3 but it is saying I can delete only at controlling area level,
    I want to delete only data (Transactional) for one cost element .
    Please let me know, Thank you ,
    Paartha,

    it is not possible to delete the data, if u want u can repost from one cost element to the another cost element if u are feeling the entry was posted to wrong cost element.
    Otherwise if u want restrict the transactions further to that cost element, u can restrict through cost elmenet master where in u can select the direct postings and secondary postings etc.,

  • Licensing concept for SEM BCS

    Hi Experts,
    I would like to know about the current licensing concept for SEM BCS.
    1. Does it come bundled with SAP BI 7.0 i.e with the license of SAP BI 7.0? or
    2. One has to buy an additional license apart from the one for SAP BI 7.0?
    Thanks.

    I thought it came bundled because I have been at clients previously where they have recognised that they were effectively wasting money by NOT using the various SEM components (that they were already paying for).
    howwever, the easiest source of an answer would be to phone your local SAP sales office:

  • Enhancing package 'load transactional data for BW infoprovider UI'

    Dear,
    for project reasons, we would like to enhance the package ''load transactional data for BW infoprovider UI'. To be more precisely, we want to add some dimensions to the method of data transfer 'replace & clear datavalues'. Now the system clears the data that mirror each entity/category/time/datasource. With only those dimensions, we cannot be precise enought, so in our case the system clears too many data. We want to be able to extend this with some dimensions.
    Is there any way this can be adapted ?
    thx.

    Hi Wouter,
    for a more precise delete you should execute first a clear and after import using Merge option.
    Kind regards

  • 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

  • Can not Delete Data in SEM-BCS

    Dear Expert,
    I do the following steps :

    2. Save.
    3. Deleted Consol group above.
    4. WHen i tried to save, There are errors that said "The data model contains inconsistencies. These have to be cleaned up before you proceed." . And then i click button "Full Display" but the result said : "Data is Consistent. SYnchronzation not neccessary".
    How do i delete data in workbench? because i cannot delete master data that i created in workbench.
    Please advice.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Actually, yes, you may delete master data in BW and then syncronize them with BCS.
    The name of the infoobject containing master data for cons group you may see in your data basis, on the tab strip showing roles assignment (swithing on the tech names).
    Execute RSA1 t-code. Find in infoobjects, the IO for cons groups, delete its master data.
    SE38 t-code, program name = UGMDSYNC. Choose the cons group IO; set source = your BW system name; set target = local. Execute syncronization.
    After that the data for cons group in BW and BCS will be equivalent.
    Best regards,
    Eugene
