SAP BPC 11.0, version for SAP BW/4HANA is yet the third
BPC product on the market in addition to BPC
NetWeaver(NW) and BPC Microsoft(MS). From release
number 11, its easy to understand that BPC 11.0 on
BW/4HANA is NOT a brand new product, its renovated from
existing BPC 10.1 NW same as its platform-BW/4HANA
which is renovated from NW/BW with simplification and
improvements.

In BPC 11.0 whats new, we already learned the what we

can do in BPC 11.0, in this blog I will talk a bit about what is
NOT possible with BPC 11.0.

Financial Information Management(FIM)

FIM is a data integration tool as part of SAP Enterprise

Performance Management(EPM) solution portfolio. Its used
to sync master data and transaction data between EPM
products, i.e. between BPC(both BPC MS and BPC NW)
and BFC(SAP Business Financial Consolidation) for
customers who are running planning in BPC(standard
model) and consolidation in BFC.

The integration with FIM is now NOT possible with BPC 11.0
BW/4HANA. We may know that BW/4HANA is the next
generation data warehouse solution of SAP with enhanced
data integration/collection capability built in, we recommend
to use BW and HANA data integration( especially for BFC on
HANA) to communicate data between BPC and other EPM
solutions.

BPC embedded web reporting and planning

For embedded model of BPC 11.0, web reporting and

planning capability is not available, also you wont have
Library from user menu with embedded model. Analysis
plug-in of Analysis for Office is THE reporting and planning
client for the moment.

For web based reporting and planning business scenario,

we are recommending to use Design studio or Designer of
Lumira 2.0.

SAP Analytics Cloud(SAC) can also be used as

reporting/analysis extension of BPC embedded via live data
connection or data acquisition connection to BW/4HANA. In
addition, we are also looking into a deeper integration
between SAC and BPC embedded for both reporting and
planning as a strong offering for hybrid deployment option in
the future.

BPC embedded web query designer

You may also be aware that we do have web based BW

query designer been released with a later SP of BPC 10.1
NW, which allows end user to create his own light weighted
BW query( can be input ready as well) in BPC web client.
This function is also NOT offered with BPC 11.0 at the
moment.
