Hi Vinoo,

Thanks for the reply.

I am trying to under as SAP BPC is a tool under SAP BO or it is stand alone.

I could see the SAP Business Planning and Consolidation under SAP BO as SAP BO Business Planning & Consolidation.

1. Is the SAP BO BPC and SAP BPC are one and the same or different?

2. If they are same, does SAP BPC works based on the data source from BO data objects.

3. If they are different, how SAP BPC and SAP BO BPC are connected to each other.

4. Does the SAP BPC and SAP BO BPC are doing the same function or not?

Could you pls clarify.

Thanks

Hi,

1. Is the SAP BO BPC and SAP BPC are one and the same or different?

>> Yes it is the same.

2. If they are same, does SAP BPC works based on the data source from BO data objects.

>> BPC works with BW. So that, if you want to connect BO to BPC, I think you need to create interface between BO and BW or connect BO & BW first.

Hope it helps,

Hi Olivia,

Many thanks.

I understand BPC can work with NW and MS Excel. Based on the connection thru netweaver or Xcelsius, can SAP BO be connected to BPC.

Or do we need to connect BO with BW, then only BO can be connected to BPC.

I am trying to find out in a SAP landscape, if there is no SAP BW or BI in place, how BPC can be connected with the Data Warehousing source.

If we built universe with the input data as OLAP source, then is it possible to connect BPC with universe as a data source for further planning and consolidation activities?

Sorry bother you further queries.

Best Regards

Govind.
