Question about BPC with reference to SAP S/4HANA Finance for group reporting 1809 release

[princekv]

With reference to the following blog:

https://blogs.sap.com/2018/09/25/announcing-the-availability-of-sap-s4hana-finance-for-group-reporti...

Does this mean that Group Reporting will essentially replace all functionality of SAP BPC Optimized for S/4 HANA Finance? Or do we still have a BPC component that needs to be implemented?

>I believe that SAP feature road map is going to be 1809 - S4 HANA GRP which is essentially for CONSOLIDATION and PLANNING/BUDGETING(Management Consolidation).

**Please note that not Advanced Planning of Allocations/Head Count etc Features on S4H GRP ***

> BPC Planning related stuff will go on Cloud based

Thanks

Hello,

It is too early to tell which features from BPC will be provided in the Group Reporting. What is certain is that the two products, BPC and Group reporting will co-exist since one is on-premise and the other on-cloud.
