Hi All,

Hi,

Please, can you tell me how plans developed in SAP BPC are accessible in ERP (S/4 HANA).

And which table stock the planning data in the ERP

Thank you.

Hi,

We are supposed to use data retraction facility for sending BPC Plan data to ERP.

Tables detail will defer and will be based on different planning Model.

Hi AGRAWAL,

Thank you for your answer.

Data retraction facility is used in BPC  optimized for S/4 HANA to, because it supposed to communicate directly with the ERP.

If i'm wrong please tell me.

Thank you.

Hi,

Now it will allows for real-time access of transactional and master data directly from SAP ERP

and no separate BW extraction component and Data duplication required to complete the planning process.

Hi,

what you mean by BPC optimized for S4? It's IBPF?

[Former Member]

Hi,

Yes. Isn't the new name for IBPF, SAP BPC for S/4HANA? Sorry, if I am wrong.

Yes, it's IBPF. But it's more like BI-IP then BPC.

Also it's not possible to use consolidation in IBPF( I read somewhere that it will be supported in new releases).

So IBPF it's only for planning, which substituted FI-CO planning, but not fully. For instance , in IBPF you can't plan wise activity type, run allocations/distributions. For this you need extract/retract data IBPF->ERP->IBPF that for customers looks strange.

But it reads actual and master data in real-time from ERP.

Thanks for the answer. That was helpful. It would be great if you can let me know what the future of BPC looks like.

This is done to enable user to distribute Plan data according to same rules as you have for Actuals.  If you want to use different rules for Plan than you have for Actuals you can utilize IBPF's Distribution functionality.
