Use BPS in SAP BI

HI Gurus,
We are in New implementation, Our Client is looking to implement SAP BI, SEM BPS & BCS, SAP CRM & ECC
From a technical perspective we are a little confused. If any body can clarify some the question, it would be great
1) Is SAP BI supports SEM BPS? if supports can i use built BPS with BI or SEM BPS.
2) Is these two products ( SEM-BPS ) and BI-BPS essentially same or different... which is preferred?
Thanks
RAvi

SEM-BPS only comes when you install the SEM addon which you would be with SEM-BCS. 
BW-BPS comes with BW 3.5 and BI 7.0 but the difference between SEM-BPS and BW-BPS is about 10 or so planning functions such as allocation, time lag, IRR, account based currency translation, etc.  and some sample planning applicaitons which you can import from client 000 in SEM-BPS but not in BW-BPS.
Which versions does the client have for the different systems since that can have a slight impact.  Oterwise bo
If you are using CRM, are you planning to use some of the CRM based planning stuff such as CRM markeing or TPM?   If so, you need SEM-BPS from this as well.
IP is a newer planing product than BPS and has some additional strengths but it does not have the embedded planning services that SEM-BPS has.
BPC is the acquired OutlookSoft as a different product and there is a new version 7.0 coming out on BI 7.0 but please note that it uses different master data than BW so if you want integrated stuff with R/3, and CRM, you can have some challeges there.

    If I understood your question correctly.
    Have a look in the link above.
    It is possible to use Crystal Reports from ALV.

  • Using the HTML SAP GUI inside the Enterprise Portal?

    Hello everyone
    In our company we plan to set up the SAP Enterprise Portal (NetWeaver 7.0). The first application we want to provide inside the portal is the SAP GUI that connects to our SAP ERP 2005 system via single sign on. Therefor two different approaches exist:
    1: Using the standard SAP GUI inside a portal iView. In this case every client pc needs the SAP GUI installed.
    2: Using the HTML SAP GUI. In this case we have to set up the integrated ITS in our SAP ERP system.
    Now I have some questions about the second approach. Is the functionality of the HTML GUI equal to the functionality of the standard GUI? If not, what are the restrictions? How high is the additional load on the network and SAP ERP system caused by the HTML GUI? Would you recommend this approach for a system with more than thousand SAP users?

    Hi Marc,
    At least if you consider using webgui, you should test the transactions properly as there are some issues for example with scandinavian characters and lines visible in lists of search helps.
    Also you might want to consider the limitations of the screen resolutions and space which the portal framwork already takes from the gui. This of course is a topic for both HTML/SAP GUI's.
    Kind regards,
    Ville

    Hi Henry,
    I don't think this is the easiest way to look at the code around a particular field on the screen. Debugging standard programs also can be very tedious, if not impossbile. So, instead of this question, I would like to find out exactly what you want to do if you know the code.
    If you are in a transaction and you want to know where the code of a particular field is, the fastest way to get to it is by pressing the F1 key on the field and then press the Technical info button on the help screen. In here you will typically see the same kind of information but it is very specific to the field you selected.
    PROGRAM(SCREEN) tells you which program is manipulating the main screen, in which your field is embedded. Remember your field may be included in a sub-screen and that subscreen may be the one included in the main screen.
    PROGRAM(SUB SCREEN) tells you which program is directly responsible for the field on the subscreen it is included in. This is where you should find the code most appropriate for the field, but not necessarily.
    PROGRAM(GUI) controls how your push buttons and the menu options in the screen behave and controlled.

  • BW-BPS versus SAP APO

    Hi!
    Does someone know the main differences between BW-BPS and SAP APO. When should I pick one tool and when the other.
    Best Regards,
    Teresa.

    BW-BPS and APO are very different products. 
    BW-BPS tend to be high level or generic planning and occassionally detailed level planning.  Some common planning applications to be developed are Sales Planning, Inventory Planning, Profitability Planning, CCA/PCA planning, Financial statement planning, etc.  
    APO is more Supply Chain Management for production or demand planning with MRP and capacity checking....

  • What requirements need to use IE8 in SAP?

    Hi,
          Our systems are on ERP 5.0 SP22, Netweaver 640. The company that I work wants to upgrade Internet Explorer from 7 to 8.
    What requirements I need to use IE8 in SAP?
    Thanks for the help!!!

    I think IE 8.0 is only supported by the latest portal SP's. However, you should be able to find an exact answer by reviewing the Product Availability Matrix for the SAP Components you have.
    Just go to http://service.sap.com/pam
    This is a link you'll always need to reference here and there.

  • Limit on records while loading flatfile using BPS GUI.

    Things done,
    1. planning function of type exit
    2. one FM for initialize the data and one FM for loading the data.
    3. the first FM is been modified to ask for a file using select file popup
    4. the data is getting loaded into the system succesfully.
    5. the file type is tab separated text file with extension .txt.
    Questions:
    1. Do we have any limit on number of records loaded into the system using BPS ?..
    2. can i load more than 20,000 records in a single step or we need to break these records into chunk of 9999 in INIT FM ?
    3. If there is a limit, please share the code if somebody has already done it.
    Thanks

    Hi

    I have not faced this situation before so can't say with certainty about the limit on number of records. <Br><BR>
    However I would like to suggest you the option of loading Flat File to your Transactional Cube using Update Rules.<Br><BR>
    Agreed that Planning won't be available when data loading is happening but if data loading is once in a bluetime affair then this should be a very good option as we know you can load a Text file containing huge number of records to an InfoCube in a controlled manner.

  • Using 2 data (SAP Netweaver BW) connections in Xcelsius dashboard

    I have a situation when using 2 data (SAP Netweaver BW) connections in Xcelsius dashboard.
    Break-down of issue:
    I have a toggle button in our Sales dashboard which displays Top Ten Customers versus Bottom Ten Customers.  I use the value of the toggle button to trigger the data connections.  When a user clicks the toggle button for Top Ten Customers the value of the toggle button would be a 1 which would trigger a BW query to capture sales data for the Top Ten Customers.  When a a user clicks the toggle button for Bottom Ten Customers the value of the toggle button would be a 0 which would trigger a BW query to capture sales data for the Bottom Ten Custoemrs.  NOTE: all the key figures in both querys use a scaling factor of 1000.  So for example, if invoiced sale has a value of 100,000 the scaling factor of a 1000 would display this key figure with a value of a 100.  The issue I am having with the dashboard is when I click the toggle botton for the Top ten Customers, the value shows as 100 and if i click the toggle button for Bottom ten Customers the value would show as 100,000.  I need the toggle button to show the values using the scaling factor coming from the BW queries for both Top Ten Customers and Bottom Ten Customers. It's only using the 1000 scaling factor coming from the Top Ten Customers.
    Any help on this issue would be graetly appreciated... 
    Thanks,
    Joe

    Hi, I get both. I think the errors are connected. On the one hand it is not possible to create any SAP NetWeaver BW connection, because you cannot enter the connection details- just as in the screen above. The only option you have is to use the "browse" button, but then the blank error appears.
    When trying to open a Dashboard from Portal you have to use SAP->Open and then SAP GUI should appear, but here I get the error "Could not open from SAP" instead. I have installed BEx and SAP GUI of course, reinstalled all of them two times just as recommended above, also reinstalled MS Excel, Flash, Java. Furthermore I tried to repair the installation and to change between different editions, personal, departmental etc.
    In the meantime I think it should not be possible at all to connect to BW with the departmental license key. Can somebody confirm that?

  • "Case use" technique for SAP implementation?

    Hello all,
    has anyone used "case use" technique for SAP implementation? I mean for standard process, not only developing.
    Any recommendation about it?
    Thanks in advance and best regards,
    Adolfo

    It would be helpful to go through the help document of ASAP Methodology.
    The following information may clarify some doubts/requirements you have.
    Generating the Project IMG through ASAP:
    After you have set the project scope, the next step is to generate the Project IMG. From the Business Process Master List (BPML), you can directly access the IMG activities relevant for configuring each process.
    BPML: The Business Process Master List, along with the Business Blueprint, is a key result of the second phase of the Roadmap. Microsoft Excel tables contain the SAP scenarios, process groups, and processes that have been set in scope in the SAP Reference Structure, and are crucial for configuring your SAP System. In Realization, the third phase of the Roadmap, the BPML provides the basis for monitoring and steering test activities and for configuring your SAP System. It contains the titles of the structure items, and displays the status, the owner, links to documentation and links to the SAP System. Amongst other things, the BPML allows you to:
    1) Set your baseline and final scope. These are used for baseline and final configuration.
    2) Access the Project IMG and specific IMG activities assigned to structure items.
    3) Access integration test plans, which help you carry out all required integration tests.
    The Prerequisite is you have set the project scope.
    Process Flow to use the Business Blueprint as a basis for configuring your SAP System:
    1) Set the project scope.
    2) Generate the Project IMG.
    3) Generate the BPML.
    4) From a specific processes in the BPML, you can go to the relevant IMG activities and make Customizing settings.

  • What is the use varients in sap?

    what is the use varients in sap?

    Hi Prashanth, this will clear ur doubt.
    You can create any number of selection sets (variants) for a program. The variants are allocated to the program uniquely.
    Creating variants makes sense when you frequently start a program with the same selection default values.
    You can mark Start with variants in the program attributes. Users (system, services, reporting) can then start the program only with a variant.
    If the program uses several selection screens, you can choose to create a variant for all the selection screens or individually for each selection screen.
    Naming conventions and transporting variants
    "SAP&xxx" are supplied by SAP
    "CUS&xxx" are created by customers (in client 000)
    Variants that follow these naming conventions are client-independent and will automatically be transported along with the report. If these naming conventions are not followed, an entry for a request (task) must be added to the object list: LIMU VARI .
    You have to assign a name and a description to each variant. By default, variants are available for both online and background processing. You can also define a variant exclusively for use with background processing.
    You can protect the variant itself and the individual selection criteria and parameters against unauthorized changes. If you select Display only in catalog, this variant will not be displayed in the general value help (F4).
    The type of a selection is determined in its declaration: Type s for SELECT-OPTIONS, type p for PARAMETERS. If you select Selections protected, then the field(s) will not be ready for input. You can use the hide attribute to suppress selection criteria and parameters on the screen, if required, resulting in a less cluttered selection screen.
    When you use selection variables, there are three basic ways of supplying your selections with values at runtime:
    From table TVARV (type T)
    Date fields using dynamic date calculation (type D), such as today's date
    User-specific variables (type B); Prerequisite: The selection must be declared with the MEMORY ID addition.
    kindly reward if found helpful.
    cheers,
    Hema.
