Former Member

Hi all,

Has anyone compared the features/functionalities of SAP BPC Consolidation with SEM-BCS consolidation? What are the advantages of BPC Consolidation over SEM-BCS, and vice-versa? For a brand new implementation, what is the preferred tool?

Thanks,

Sujoy Banerjee

Hi,

We are implementing both. However SAP BPC is the way to go, and the biggest advantage is rapid implementation and deployment, complex consolidations (even if other threads here say otherwise) and excel front end reporting.

Disadvantage of SAP BPC is that currently the integration is not yet fully proven with the ERP, unlike BCS.

Hi Sujoy,

In general if you are starting out with a new implementation, BPC is the recommended solution for several reasons:

1) It's a unified solution offering both Consolidations and Planning

2) It's designed to be owned and managed by business users, not IT

3) It's integrated with the Enterprise Performance Management for Finance suite, which also includes profitability and strategy management

If however you need support for complex consolidation scenarios, such as legal consolidations, you may want to consider BCS.

You should be able to find several documents comparing the two solutions if you go the Support Center (https://websmp104.sap-ag.de/support) and do a document search on BPC vs. BCS.

Hope this helps.
