KFs in BPC

[Former Member]

Hi Folks:

As you know, the objects configured in BPC automatically generate Objects in BW.

(e.g.) Master Data:

1.- Dimension & Dimension Members in BPC >>>>>>Characteristics & Values in BW (Ok)

My cuestion is in case of Transaccional Data:

2.- No create any Object in BPC for Transaccional Data >>>> Automatically get an Key Figure in BW (??)

Questions:

1.- Why only One Key Figure in BW for BPC? (Normally in BW we manage many Characteristics & many KFs)

2.- BPC are limited to one Object for Key Figures?

3.- How manage many Key Figures BPC, using only one KFigure Object in BW?

Thanks a lot

Hi Noe-

Spot on about the Account Base model concept!

HI Noe -

1.- Why only One Key Figure in BW for BPC? (Normally in BW we manage many Characteristics & many KFs)

Excel is essentially a single KF based model. Excel is the main UI for BPC.

2.- BPC are limited to one Object for Key Figures?

The BPC application has been optimized to process an account based data model. An account based data model in its purest form has only one key figure.

3.- How manage many Key Figures BPC, using only one KFigure Object in BW?

There is functionality provided within the BPC transformation file definition to allow for key figure mapping. Traditionally BPC implementers have created dummy dimension values (statistical accounts) and/or added dimensionality to discriminate between different types of data in the BPC system.

Tnaks Sheldon:

So I can understand that, i use my Objects like this:

A.- "n" Dimensions for Master Data.

B.- "One" User Defined DImension to manage all my diferent Key Fgs.

**It is like SEM account based Model?
