SAP BPC Architecture and Project Examples
Here you may find a BPC Architecture Examples Slide Deck - an introduction to SAP BPC and an overview of business planning projects. It also covers:
-
Basic capabilities and use cases for SAP BPC 10.1 for BW on HANA, BPC 11.0 for BW/4HANA (BPC/4HANA)
-
Architecture options, advantages of SAP BPC Embedded
-
Business planning project examples on how BPC embedded can be used to address specific customer needs in the Retail sector
​
Want a Proof of Concept?
We can help set up a Proof of Concept solution to validate the latest SAP BPC Embedded capabilities on top of SAP HANA. Below are screenshots from a POC example that took a few days to set up in order to validate BPC Embedded and demonstrate how it can be used in a particular business scenario.
​
Business Scenario for a POC
An organization is using SAP BW/4HANA as an Enterprise Data Warehousing (EDW) platform. The EDW contains a number of models for data analytics based on actual sales, procurement and production datasets. There is a need to empower business users with sales planning capabilities leveraging the model for actuals.
​
Proposed Solution
Use SAP BPC Embedded on SAP BW/4HANA. Disaggregate Plan values in proportion to the historical sales actuals. Set up and customize input entry forms by user group and activity for Revenue, Expenses and Demand Planning.
​
The following screenshots outline architecture, design and an input sheet (AFO) used in the BPC Embedded (BW/4HANA) solution in the POC:
