What is the role of Business Objects in BPC

Dear Experts,
A quick question. Why has SAP changed expanded form of BPC - from Business Planning & Consolidation to Businessobjects Planning and Consolidation. Is this just a re-branding excercise or is BPC using Business Objects components for reporting?
As far as I understand, after watching demos on Businessobjects Planning and Consolidation, I dont see any business objects interface?
Can anyone please help me in understanding this right?
Regards
Rupa

Hi,
When you take BPC alone into consideration then their is no much difference with the interface. They have changed name from BPC to SAP Buisness Objects Planning and Consolidation, version for SAP NetWeaver. With the next versions they have integrated few of the Business Objects tools like Xcelsius, Voyager, WebI, Crystal, BOBJ CMS and SSO etc. With the integration of these tools you can display or report the BPC data in these tools like for e.g. you can report on BPC data in Xcelsius etc. So this is the reason why they have given the new name to BPC. I would say functionality wise ,  yes their are many improvements in the upcoming version.
I hope this helps.
regards,
Sushma

  • What are the DATAPROVIDERS in Business Objects 6.5?

    What are the DATAPROVIDERS in Business Objects 6.5? When we use these data providers/

    Kishore,
    "Data Providers" is a term used to designate a concept of the "source(s)" for the report.  For instance, if you have a report that has a single query and in your report you have one (or n1) tab(s), then your report is a single data provider type of report.  Note that you can have multiple tabs with the data being displayed multiple ways, etc, etc, but since you have a single query, the report is still a single data provider.  Another scenario is that you have more than a single query (n1 query panels), then you have a report with multiple data providers.  Only upon inspecting the query panel side of the report can you determine the number of actual data providers.  You can have a single tabbed report with multiple data providers, or you can have a multiple tabbed report, but the point is that data providers are counted by the number of query panels being used and not necessarily the number of tabs.  I hope this explanation is clear, but if any questions arise, please post back.
    Thanks,

  • What are the features of Business object.

    Hi Experts,
    Can any please give me  brief idea about Business object which one will going implent into BI . and what are the features of Business object.
    i will assign points if it is helpfull.
    Regards
    venu.

    Hi,
    Bussiness Object is the reporting tool of datawarehouse.BI is itself a data ware house.The next generation SAP BI will be using BO as reporting tool instead of BeX.BO is a Reporting tool. Presently we are using BI BEX tool for reporting. slowly BI BEX tool is replacing by BO.Use Netveawer and SAP BW for the Backend and Master data management or Use Data Integartor. For Front End Use BEX tools for QR$A or use the BO Suite.BO has many advantages over BEX tool like using BO we can creat crystal reports ets.
    Pls chk this links for detailed information abt Business Object:

    Hi
    Recently SAP has taken over Business objects which is one of the Datawarehousing Tool especially in Reporting. As going on SAP is planning to replace most of the reporting with BO reporting.

  • What are the roles we have in XI ?

    what are the roles we have in XI ?

    Hi Durga prasad,
    HI
    XI Developer:
    Starts from technical specification
    Create design and configuration objects- execute unit tests
    Support integration/stress tests
    Document the developments
    Responsibilities for a support project :
    Responsibilities for a support project depends on Project.
    But in general u have to Monitor SXMB_MONI, SMQ2, SMQ1 & RBW for Error Message.If there is any error u have to find the reason of error.
    Then either u can resend it or u have to cancel it.
    In IDOC scenarios most of the time Error comes bcoz IDOC comes with blank values for required Fileds & then Mapping fails........... in such cases u have to cancel that message & tell R3 ppl to resend the IDOC.
    Then some times messages get stuck in queuesu have to resend them.

    Hi,
    ALE  is Application Link Enabling.
    ALE
    A means of creating and operating distributed applications.
    Application Link Enabling (ALE) guarantees a distributed, but integrated, R/3 installation. This involves business-controlled message exchange using consistent data across loosely linked SAP applications.
    Applications are integrated using synchronous and asynchronous communication - not by using a central database.
    ALE consists of the following layers:
    Application services
    Distribution services
    Communication services
    Refer
    http://www.sappoint.com/abap/ale.pdf
    http://www.sappoint.com/abap/ale2.pdf
    Check this link ALE and EDI
    ABAP Programmer must know how to create inbound n outbound interfaces to send IDOCs through ALE.
    Please refer to the details mentioned in the hyper-links beow.
    You will get the details how to go about it.
    To see the IDOC & status check it in WE02/WE05
    You will get step by step process.

    hello, friend.
    actually, you can search for subjects like this in the threads archive.  you will be pleasantly surprised to find that there are already many threads with similar issues and that you can find answers to even more otherwise unrealized questions.  and you don't have to wait for anyone to reply.
    it looks like the issue is urgent for you, and this is why i am attaching this feed from Sadhu Kishore, which was posted some time ago... (if he replies to your thread, you may choose to award him points).
    "Hi,
    The transport workflow provides a framework for transporting enhancements or new developments of existing business functions in a system landscape. It provides a direct connection between development and transport administration. The transport workflow manages the transport process, determines the user for each individual step automatically, and then displays an interface which they can use to perform the task directly.
    It is an efficient method of transporting a selected number of requests into a group of transport targets, and uses clearly defined approval steps to ensure the quality of your target systems. The requests can be transportable change requests, Customizing requests, relocation transports or transports of copies. The transport targets do not need to be located on defined transport routes. However, the transport workflow can involve some risks, caused by the dependencies between transport requests:
    Import sequence
    It is important that you import requests in the correct order, so that development work is up-to-date in the target system.
    Incompleteness
    It is important that the functions transported in the transport proposal are complete; otherwise errors may occur in the import system.
    A request is not imported, but it contains an important data element. You use another request to transport a table that references this data element. Since the referenced data element does not exist in the target system, activation errors will occur when you import the second request.
    The transport workflow is a generic workflow. Its ability to process the transport route configuration in TMS enables it to adapt itself to any system landscape. This means you can transport multiple requests into multiple targets, even if these targets are not located on the transport routes.
    This reduces the amount of work for the transport administrator significantly. The automated nature of the workflow also reduces the likelihood of errors during transports.
    You can use the transport workflow in two different ways.
    Transport workflow as a transport strategy
    If you have production systems in your landscape that can only accept approved transports, we recommend that you use the transport workflow to organize and coordinate the transport process.
    To do this, set Workflow-controlled transports as your transport strategy and configure the transport workflow.
    When you release a transport request, the transport workflow starts automatically and the screen Create Transport Proposal appears. The requests are then released implicitly when the transport proposal is sent to the transport administrator.
    Special transport workflow (mass transports)
    You can use the special transport workflow to make transports that do not follow the defined transport routes or that take place outside the normal transport schedule (part of the mass transport strategy). These transports may be corrections made in the development system that have to be transported into the production system without delay.
    To use the special transport workflow, set Mass transports as your transport strategy and configure the transport workflow."
    thanks.  you have been most generous.
    regards.

    <b>What is SAP XI?</b>
    SAP Exchange Infrastructure is SAP’s platform for process integration based on the exchange of XML messages.
    1. It provides a technical infrastructure for XML based message exchange in order to connect SAP components with each other as well as with non-SAP components.
    2. It delivers business process integration knowledge to the customer in the form of SAP pre-defined business scenarios.
    3. It provides an integrated tool set for building new business scenarios by defining and maintaining all integration relevant information. (“Shared collaboration knowledge”).
    Before we take a closer look at how the Exchange Infrastructure will enter into the IT landscape of every SAP customer, let’s take a closer look at the capabilities as well as the strategic direction of XI. This particular module of Net Weaver is one of the most powerful and is undeniably the most critical. Its purpose is really three-fold:
    Connect:
    XI has the ability to connect all applications regardless of whether it is an application
    From a 3rd party or from SAP. The solution has pre-built connectivity to all SAP modules
    Such as SAP CRM and utilizes the Adapter Framework to integrate 3rd Party solutions
    such as Siebel, People Soft, Legacy systems, or AS/400s and Mainframes.
    Coordinate:
    XI has the ability to define a path/workflow for each business transaction that is
    Integrated. The system actively routes each message to ensure that it is properly
    Delivered from the source to the target destination. Active monitoring allows
    Administrators to manage document exchange on an exception basis.
    Communicate:
    XI has the ability to translate files into any format whether an internal file format or any
    Business to Business integration standard including but not limited to an XML format, an
    EDI format, a marketplace, or a Web Service. Finally, there are multiple communication
    Protocols included which allow the routing of a file over protocols such as s/FTP, http/s,
    SOAP, ebMS, Value-Added Networks, or EDI INT (AS1, AS2).
    Understanding The SAP Exchange Infrastructure_
    Now, you might be saying to yourself, we already have solutions that provide all of this
    Functionality. True, most organizations have invested previously in an integration strategy, but what we see in over 90% of organizations is that they have multiple translators and communication brokers, which they are supporting on a daily basis. This is both a resource drain as well as a monetary drain. For example, it is not uncommon to see the following even in smaller organizations:
    • Multiple Point to Point connectivity: For example, R/3 connected to a 3rd party
    Warehouse Management Solution via an internally developed adapter or with the SAP
    Business Connector
    • A 3rd party EAI Integration Broker to connect legacy mainframe systems to SAP and
    WMS
    • A 3rd party EDI translator to communicate messages
    • A 3rd party XML broker to communicate XML messages to marketplaces and non-EDI
    Trading partners
    • A communication server that focuses on sending messages via FTP, Value-Added
    Networks and Internet protocols such as AS2 solution of choice for SAP end users
    Interface-
    <b>Role of XI consultant</b>
    As a SAP XI Developer you will be required to : Gather requirements, develop specifications and technical documentation. Perform requirement analysis and high and low level design. Perform the coding, testing and integration mapping Interface with onsite / offshore project teams ,sometimes responsible for developing java applications based on clients requirement specifications, preparing the technical design document, creating prototypes, analyzing and identifying performance bottle-necks, providing technical and user documentation and training to client, providing relevant data to the Module Leader for status reports both.
    <b>It's a good option to switch to XI</b>

    Some of the planning functions require script writing or coding. ABAper is helpful in creating such codes.
    In our scenario, ABAPers created the conversion/ transformation as per mapping prepared by the Functional Consultant.
    The functional / business users do upload and download of data (imports and exports) wherever required.

  • The Acquisition of Business Objects

    On one business news channel, I saw a half hour program on Business Intelligence.  An officer identified as being from Business Objects was present.  This is proof of the growing importance of Business Intelligence, and a good way for SAP to market BI.
    On the negative side, I read an article that most mergers and acquisitions end up reducing shareholder value.  We will have to look up the new market capitalization of SAP, and compare it to the market capitalization of SAP and Business Objects before the acquisition.
    What is your opinion of the acquisition of Business Objects by SAP?

    Casual investigation into the use of Crystal Reports with MII yielded a major advantage and a couple of disadvantages:
    ADVANTAGE: Nice(r?)-looking reports can be generated in a fraction of the time from traditional MII reports
    DISADVANTAGES:
    1. Deploying similar reports to multiple sites could be a significant headache, since the "XML and Web Services" connection definition is a string and not a set of parameters that allows the server name (for instance) to be modified easily.
    2. A schema is required for any report, so this must be created manually or dynamically via XSL
    Chip:  Would love to hear what you end up doing or determining.

    Hi Dhanush,
    your authorizations will be decided depends on your role in your team.
    yes you will have authorization for creating name space ,but your bussiness system will be created by Basis pesron and assign it to your scenario.
    Business System is a logical entity which represents logical view of your technical system. (eg a client in R3 system can be respresented as business system in SLD) For one technical system you can have multiple business systems.
    Look in to these links for detalis of bussiness systems.

  • What is the Roles Of Bridging Account

    *What Are The Roles Of These Accounts Bridging, Non-Invoiced Sales Orders And Non-Invoiced Revenue in Periodic Account Assignments form? [ID 1335054.1]*
    The Expense account is there to accommodate European accounting practices.
    The Bridging account (as seen in WIP accounting classes) is used only in France.
    The bridging account (and possibly others) was included at the request of the Global Accounting Engine team on behalf of France in the setup form at design time; but it has never been used as it was decided that transfer To GL would remain manual for the moment. In other words, today PAC only generates distributions based on GAAP/Brazil accounting.
    In other words: In US accounting, when you put something in inventory it is accounted as an asset, in France it is accounted as an expense; so during a period you total all expenses and at the end of a period in order to do a fiscal Profit and Loss, you "convert" to assets by using a bridging account : you debit the inventory account and credit the bridging account. This is done by Product Nature: So you have a Bridging account for raw materials, for finished goods and semi-finished.
    The fields 'Non-invoiced Sales Orders' and 'Non-invoiced Revenue' was set up with a view to replacing the functionality (used in Europe) that is currently provided by the Global Accounting engine (AX). However, this has not yet been implemented in the apps - which currently support only US GAAP & Brazilian accounting as methods of generating distributions from PAC.
    User Guide
    2 – 72 Oracle Cost Management User’s Guide
    Bridging: This account is optional.
    You can also optionally enter an Analytical Invoice Price Variance, Analytic a l Purchase Mirror, Non–Invoiced Sales Order, Non–Invoiced Revenue, Analytical Revenue Mirror, Analytical Margins of Goods Sold, and Average Cost Variance account.
