Transactional data transport in BPC NW 7.0

Hi experts,
Is there any way to transport the transactional data on BPC NW 7.0?
We have next scenario:
Data Load: only flat file, input schedules and journals.
After the initial data loading from flat file, manual adjustments have been saved through the journal templates.
Can we extract all the data from the legal application to a flat file to be able to upload all the data in produtcion(including the manual adjustments)?
Is there any way to create a transport request from dev to prod to include the transactional data?
Regards.

There is a How-to Guide which explains how to [export BPC data|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/bpx/index?rid=/library/uuid/b0427318-5ffb-2b10-9cac-96ec44c73c11&overridelayout=true]. I would imagine you would use that process to create a file which could then be loaded to your target system.
Thanks and best regards,

Sample Master, Transaction data files for BPC learning

I am new to BPC and trying to learn on my own. I have access to the system and access to training material (all legal by the way). I don't have access to the files used in the training (master, transaction data and conversion files). It will be a big help if someone can share these files. Someone who has attended official SAP Courses (BPC OR CPM VERSIONS).
Any independ case study files will be good too.. I have got hang of the sytem. Just need data to play around and learn.
Thanks.
Lukesh

the plan is to cover all the training materials.. BPC420, 430,440 in next 2-3 weeks if possible. Though Immediate need is to learn planning .
Looking at SAP training support files (I have course material) or any complete case study data which I can do from scratch.. I have just been doing it for 3-4 days.. already understand the basic stuff.. Pretty comfortable with SAP ECC & BW (both technical and function stuff)..

Importing inter-company transaction data from SAP (BPC 7.5 NW)

Hello,
For our legal consolidation application, we would like to import inter-company data directly from SAP R/3 and match / eliminate the amounts at the transaction level (i.e., it would not be enough to import balances only from SAP).
Is there any guidance available on how to do that? All of the information that I have seen so far either assumes that the data is being loaded via a flat file or focuses on the import of data for the Finance / Consolidation application. The import of data for the Finance application is not relevant as that imports balances only, not transactions.
Thank you.

Hi,
To my understanding, concurrent locking only locks the intersection for the time the data is being sent to the database, which is not enough in this case.
We would need to have the lock utilized the whole time the user is inputting data for a specific dimension selection on the input schedule:
1. User selects values for dimensions
2. The input schedule is refreshed/expanded <-- LOCK ON
3. User inputs new figures etc.
4. User sends the data to database <-- LOCK OFF
The point is to prevent multiple users from working on the same set of data unintentionally.
Is this possible?

Problems with BPC Export Transaction Data process chain

Hi everybody,
we are trying to implement the procedure "How to Export BPC Transaction Data using a custom process chain " for SAP BPC NW 7.0 and everything seems fine. However, when we execute it from Excel, the package apparently runs well (the message 'IMMEDIATE RUN: The package is running...' appears) but when we go to the watch the package status, the package does not appear in the list and there is not any file exported.
When we go to watch the log of the process chain from NW, the Modify Dynamically step runs wrongly but there is no clue of what could be done to solve it. We have done it again from scratch but we always have the same error.
Any idea out there?
Thanks in advance. Kind regards,
Albert

Hi Rich,
in the end we managed to export data. Our NW administrator created the custom process type wrongly - putting a blank space before ZBPCTXEXP - and now it has been corrected and everything works fine.
Well we have managed to transport applications to one server to another one and to export/import the transactional data.
Is there any doc that explains how to transport process chains from one server to another?
In BPC Opps manual there is not too much information and we should transport quiet a lot of process chains related with Runlogic issues .
Thanks a lot for your help.
Kind regards,
Albert Mas.

SAP BPC 7.5 - Netweaver- File Upload -Transaction data along with comments

Hi,
We have a requirement to upload a file containing comments along with transaction data.
We are planning to store commnents in a Ztable from the flat file and read and post comments in the BADI
using UJC*Add_cmt.
Use a custom process chain to execute the above steps and link to a pakage.
Please let me know if there is a better process/how to doc and any code for the above.
Your early reponse is much appreciated.
Regards,
Venkata

Hi Venkata,
*MVAL function allows you to use multiple time period columns. I don't think this may help your scenario. I my opinion you may need to use two transformation files to bring the data from BW cube to BPC. BPC is an account base model, I don't think you can load the data in two columns in BW cube using one transformation file.
Thanks

BPC:NW - Best practices to load Transaction data from ECC to BW

I have a very basic question for loading GL transaction data into BPC for variety of purposes, would be great if you can point me towards best practices/standard ways of making such interfaces.
1. For Planning
When we are doing the planning for cost center expenses and need to make variance reports against the budgets, what would be the source Infocube/DSO for loading the data from ECC via BW, if the application is -
YTD entry mode:
Periodic entry mode:
What difference it makes to use 0FI_GL_12 data source or using 0FIGL_C10 cube or 0FLGL_O14 or 0FIGL_D40 DSOs.
Based on the data entry mode of planning application, what is the best way to make use of 0balance or debit_credit key figures on the BI side.
2. For consolidation:
Since we need to have trading partner, what are the best practices for loading the actual data from ECC.
What are the typical mappings to be maintained for movement type with flow dimensions.
I have seen multiple threads with different responses but I am looking for the best practices and what scenarios you are using to load such transactions from OLTP system. I will really appreciate if you can provide some functional insight in such scenarios.
Thanks in advance.

Load transaction data from ECC to BPC 10.1 using US GAAP starter kit SP3

I need to understand a bit more the process to load transactional data into BPC 10.1. We have US GAAP Starter Kit SP 3. Below is an screenshot from the config guide:
It explains how transactional data can be extracted from ECC system to the SAP Netweaver BW data source 0FI_GL_10 and then transform it
to get it loaded into BPC. The Objects /PKG/FC_C01 and PKG/FC_DS01 are just mentioned here as reference because they come in the RDS for Financial Close and Disclosure Management, which not all companies have.
I believe the upwards data flow should be from Data Source 0FI_GL_10 to Data Store Object 0FIGL_O10 and then to InfoCube 0FIGL_R10. There is also a data flow that goes from 0FI_FL_10 to InfoCube 0FIGL_R10. Can anyone with experience with US GAAP starter kit answer this?
Thank you.

Hello, we were able to load actuals to our environment with the US GAAP Starter Kit, SP03. I followed the Operating Guide document up to section 5.2 and ran the Consolidation Data Manager Package with no issue. We are using the A20 Input and A20 Consolidation process flows based on flows F00, F10, F20, F30, F99, etc... According to the documentation, the Statemnet of Cash Flow and Changes in Equity should be automatically calculated and available from the changes
in Balance Sheet accounts once Consolidation is completed . However, when I ran the corresponding reports, they bring no data.
We loaded actual data for the whole 2013 and Jan 2014. Our intention is
to run the first consolidation for Jan 2014. The closing balance for period 12.2013 in flow 99 was copied to flow 00 2014 (opening balance). Flows 20 and 30 were updated with the corresponding balance sheet movements (increase/decrease), according to the delivered controls in the starter kit. However, cash flow is still showing no results.
I found the following text in the operating guide, but I am not clear if I am missing a step. Can you please clarify? This is telling me that I need to copy my 01.2014 opening balance (F00) to 12.2013 closing balance (F99, which is done by the copy opening data manager package, but in the opposite direction, from Y-1 F00 to Y F99) and in addition to also copy that balance to 12.2013 F00 (previous year opening balance)??
"5.2.2 First Consolidation
When operating the consolidation for a given Scope for the first time in the application, it is necessary to populate and process the prior year-end time period for this Scope, in addition to the first required consolidation period. This is because the flows dedicated to the scope change analysis are properly populated by the consolidation engine provided that at least one automatic journal entry has been detected in the consolidation used as opening consolidation, which by default is the prior year end (December, Y-1). To accomplish this, it is recommended that you copy all input-level opening data of the first required consolidation (flow “F00”) into the closing data (“F99”) and opening data (“F00”) of the prior year-end time period, including intercompany breakdowns.
This breakdown by intercompany in the balance sheet triggers automatic eliminations, which are carried over to the closing position. After the consolidation process, the closing data of the prior year
end time period will contain the appropriate source data for the opening data of the following consolidation, notably the opening automatic journal entries.

Pass transaction data from an InfoProvider to the BPC within BW

Hi Gurus,
I need to pass transaction data from an InfoProvider to the BPC Real-Time InfoCube, but I need to do from BW, and not from the BPC Excel interface.
The reason is that I want to make the whole process in one step, and at the beginning of the process the end-user has to introduce some parameters in the BW, as we are launching the process chain from a transaction.
Therefor I copied the process chain /CPMB/LOAD_INFOPROVIDER and tried to introduce the different parameters that are normally delivered by the prompt in the excel interface.
Can anybody help? Does anybody know what parameters for each process type have to be introduced, in what form and if all the process types are needed?
Making it with a normal BW transformation is also not an option, as we don't want to change from plan mode and stop people from planning.
It is very important for my end user to do everything in one step, without having to enter the BPC Excel interface.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Àlex

Hi Frank,
I have checked and we have many processes in SM50 available for the job to use. Sometimes there are no other jobs running in the BW System except for the 2 jobs but still the 2nd job waits for the first to finish.
I did another check on transaction code SM58 in BW System. Here it shows all the transactional RFC queues that is being generated by the 2 jobs. I saw that only TRFC queues are able to execute at one time. I am not sure if this is the problem but is it possible to set the number of queues that can be executed at one time to more than 2? If yes, where can I find such a setting?
This is quite urgent as this problem causes all my jobs to end very late.
Thanks.
Shunhui.

Loading master/transaction data from BI to NW BPC

hi
what is best way of loading master & transaction data from BI to BPC?
I know around 6 options for loading master data and 5 options for loading transactional data from BI to BPC .
What is easiest and recommended method? what is typical method followed in your NW bpc projects?
thanks,.

Hi Raju,
There is a white paper on Loading master data. I've used it previously and both options work quite well. You can use either of them depending on what you are comfortable with. Its available on the HOW To white papers.

Import Transaction Data from BW Cube to BPC Cube

Hi,
Is there any document that explain how i can import/copy transactional data from bw cube to bpc cube like this below pic. http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/6998/prof.jpg
Thanks in advance.

Hi Again,
With these documents I can import transactional data with a single keyfigure but if there are more than one keyfigure, importing and assigning keyfigures to dimensions might get confusing.
For example i have two keyfigures "zbgstsad" and "zbgstsf" in bw cube and I have two account member in "S_ACCT": "S_F", "S_A". I did a conversion file with "zbgstsad(ext)->s_a(int)" and "zbgstsf(ext)->s_f(int)" rows. But i am not sure what i have to put instead of "?".

BPC 7.5 NW: Loading transaction data from infocube

Hello, I am trying to load transaction data from an infocube into a BPC application using a package based on /CPMB/LOAD_INFOPROVIDER.
The master data (cost center and cost element) are already loaded. As they are compounded, we have added in the key the CO area (eg ID=0CO_AREA+ID)
I am facing an issue that the system ads leading 0 in front of the values of those master data comming from the cube.
So the data looks like CO_AREA00000000000cost_center.
As the data where correctly loaded in the dimensions (CO_AREAcost_center), the loading fails.
How can we remove those 'O'?
Thanks!

Hi Anton,
We use this in most of our projects; since auditing is one of the important requirements.
You should enable the auditing for selective categories only. With each transaction data entered, it will keep a log, which can increase the size a lot, and hence impacting the performance.
If you are enabling the log, you should frequently purge the audit data as well. However, you should take a backup of this and then purge it.
Hope this helps.

Load transaction data from R3 (FI, CO, HR, MM...) to BPC 10 directly

Hi everyone,
Anyone know if is it possible to load transaction data from ECC (FI, CO, HR, MM...) to BPC 10 directly? There is a documment titled "How to Implement Delta Loading of Transaction Data from ECC and BW 7.3 into BPC using Delta Initialization in BPC 10NW" but only refers to load data from BW.
Thanks&Regards,
Fernando.

Hi Fernando,
BPC NW 10.0 has DM packages that allow load of Master and Transaction data directly from ECC system, but it's very limited. I.e. just a couple extractors are supported right now.

Map BW attribute to BPC Dimension during transactional data load

Hi,
I am loading the transactional data from BW cube to BPC Application. we ave functional area as dimension in BPC and the BW cube doesnot have Functional area. So we are in a situation to derive it . Dimensio Profitcenter of BW has functional area as Attribute. so we need to populate the BPC functional area with the BW functional area which is an attribute of 0PROFIT_CTR.
Any Input will be appreciate.
Sanjay

Hi,
You can try following work around (Multiprovider on infoset)

or
use [BADI for Start routine and End routine|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_bpc75_nw/helpdata/en/28/b66863b41f47589b9943f80b63def6/content.htm] to read respective attribute from master data of 0PROFIT_CTR .
hope it helps...

Loading a subset of BW Transactional data into BPC

Hello Experts
Hopefully someone can help me with a problem I have been facing.
I am running: EPM 10 SP13
Currently, we load a full set of transactional data from a staging BW cube into the BPC model. In terms of time, this is from 1990 to date.
Each evening, before the above mentioned load, we clear data in the BPC model against a specific dimension category to handle deleted data which does not come in on the flat file full load each night.
I would not like to only run this clear and load process for the last 2 years worth of data.
The 'Clear' package via a BW process chain using UJD_TEST_PACKAGE and an answer prompt setting as below works a treat:
%SELECTION%     DIMENSION:ANALYSIS||DIMENSION:BRAND||DIMENSION:CATEGORY|BW_ACTUAL|DIMENSION:CUSTOMER||DIMENSION:DATASRC|DS_ACT_BW_INPUT|DIMENSION:INDUSTRY||DIMENSION:METRIC||DIMENSION:PRODUCT||DIMENSION:RPTCURRENCY||DIMENSION:SUPPLY_SITE||DIMENSION:TIME|2012.01,2012.02,20012.03,2012.04,2012.05,2004.06,2012.07,2012.08,2012.09,2012.10,2012.11,2012.12,2013.01,2013.02,2013.03,2013.04,2013.05,2013.06,2013.07,2013.08,2013.09,20013.10,2013.11,12.2013
%ENABLETASK%     1
%CHECKLCK%     0
However, I cannot get the load run package (Load Transaction Data from BW InfoProvider UI) to pick up only 2 years worth of data.
%InforProvide%     ZBPC_11
%SELECTION%     <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><Selections xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><Selection Type="Selection" /><Selection Type="FieldList"><FieldID>0CALMONTH</FieldID><FieldID>0CALYEAR</FieldID><FieldID>0CHNGID</FieldID><FieldID>0RECORDTP</FieldID><FieldID>0REQUID</FieldID><FieldID>ZBPC_1</FieldID><FieldID>ZBPC_10</FieldID><FieldID>ZBPC_6</FieldID><FieldID>ZJ_DEALER</FieldID><FieldID>ZJ_DEFIND</FieldID><FieldID>ZJ_MODEL</FieldID><FieldID>ZJ_MRPSTE</FieldID><FieldID>ZJ_TYPE</FieldID></Selection></Selections>
%TRANSFORMATION%     \ROOT\WEBFOLDERS\COMPANY\S_AND_OP\DATAMANAGER\TRANSFORMATIONFILES\BW Actuals.xls
%DATATRANSFERMODE%     10
%CLEARDATA%     No
%RUNLOGIC%     No
%CHECKLCK%     No
I have tried setting the option in the EPM add-on when I run the Load Transaction Data from BW InfoProvider UI package but this results in the chain running for ages and never completing, despite their being activity in SM50. Almost like an infinite loop!
I then tried using the code in the UJD_TEST_PACKAGE script pointing to the above:
<Selection Type="Selection"><Attribute><ID>0CALMONTH</ID><Operator>1</Operator><LowValue>2020</LowValue><HighValue /></Attribute></Selection>
Does anyone know how I can set the import package to only include the last 2 years ? I have found that pre BPC 10, you could add something to the transformation file but I do not believe that is now supported.
Thanks for any guidance.
Ian

Hi Ian,
Q: Could you elaborate some more on automated this process? What do you mean by a macro to create the xml files ?
This process its for running package from excel. This document explain https://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-32636
Q: Using your alternative suggestion of created a start routine, do you mean as part of the transformation in the BW staging area or the BPC transformation file sourcing the data manager package ?
I mean the BPC transformation file. http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-4230
