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
