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.
