BPC 4

When consolidating figures across subsidiaries, transactions between them must be eliminated to avoid double counting. This can be done in SAP BPC through script logic. A chart of accounts is a structured list of general ledger accounts used to record transactions. It allows multiple company codes to use a single group chart of accounts for consolidated reporting. Closing account balances are carried forward as opening balances for the new period.

Intercompany Elimination

When reporting consolidated figures, the transactions within the group (between subsidiaries and/or
parent) must be eliminated to avoid double counting. In BPC, one of the ways to perform Intercompany
eliminations is through Script Logic.

Not mandatory

Chart of Accounts

 Account = LIST OF TRANSACTIONS (one or more pages with opening and closing balance)
 Ledger = A BOOK OF ACCOUNTS (can be very large) general ledger (GL) is a set of numbered
accounts a business uses to keep track of its financial transactions
 Chart = A LIST OF ACCOUNTS (names and numbers)

Chart of Accounts is a structured list of General Ledger (GL) Accounts which we are using to report our
ledger postings. A chart of accounts is a listing of the names of the accounts that a company has
identified and made available for recording transactions in its general ledger

One chart of account can be used by multiple company codes

Group chart of account -A company might have several company codes. Each company
code prepares its own financial reports. But business requires consolidated reports of
the entire group. To generate reports at group level, data from various company codes
need to be pulled in together for consolidation. This consolidation of financial data is
achieved by using group chart of account in sap.
Multiple GL accounts in operational chart of account can be mapped to single GL
account in group chart of account.
This mapping enables consolidation of data.

Carry forward

Closing account balance from the previous accounting period, carried over as the opening account
balance for a new accounting period

Cash flow

Cash flow is the net amount of cash and cash-equivalents being transferred into and out of a business.

Balance sheet

Balance Sheet is the financial statement of a company which includes assets, liabilities, equity capital,
total debt, etc. at a point in time. Balance sheet includes assets on one side, and liabilities on the other.
For the balance sheet to reflect the true picture, both heads (liabilities & assets) should tally (Assets =
Liabilities + Equity).
P&L

The profit and loss statement is a financial statement that summarizes the revenues, costs and expenses
incurred during a specified period, usually a fiscal quarter or year

Cube compression

 Compressing adds up records in the cube, thus saving space therefore less records
 Data moves from F to E table
 Records are summarized

Roll up cube
If new data packages (requests) are loaded into the InfoCube, they are not immediately available for
Reporting via an aggregate/BWA index. To provide the aggregate/BWA index with the new data
from the InfoCube, you must first load the data into the aggregate/BWA index tables/indexes at a
time which you can set. This process is known as a Rollup.

Real time cube

 Used for planning


 data is simultaneously written to the InfoCube by multiple users
 can be filled with data using two different methods: using the transaction for entering planning
data, and using BI staging

SAP consolidation

 Models - Consolidation, Ownership, Rates, Intercompany


 Consolidation provides various reports
 Consolidation model is YTD and consolidation happens at month level
 Ownership and Rates models are periodic
 Data Load
o Planning mode – Data loaded from EPM to Model
o Load mode – Data loading from BW to Model
 Light optimization package
o /CPMB/LIGHT_OPTIMIZE
o compressing the data in the backend and thus improves the performance by reducing the
data querying time for any reports.
o time for optimization depends on the quantity of data you have in your applications.
o should be run frequently.
o Can be run for any number of models
o model is sitting outside of planning mode - users are unable to save back to the model
during the running of the Lite Optimize process and reports on the data can produce
inconsistent results. The process can run for various amounts of time depending on the
number of unprocessed requests waiting to be optimised in the model.
o BPC does not let a user know when a Lite Optimise is running.
o LO failure errors - sm21, sm50, slg1, st22, sm13
o For zero elimination – a separate component is added
 SAP Enterprise Performance Management (EPM)
o The EPM10 Client (aka add-in) is the unified Excel interface for a
subset of EPM products
o I n BPC10, the EPM10 Client is used both for reporting as well as for
write back to the database for end users.
o SAP EPM ADD-in is the MS Office Client for BPC 10,
