Overall Satisfaction with SAP Business Planning and Consolidation
We use BPC primarily for Planing and Consolidations/financial reporting. In support of Planning, we also have depreciation, resource assignment for projects and Head Count/Cost Center planning models. BPC enables us to group most planing activities within a logical progression. BPC enables us to have the planning detail and financial summary level in one place.
- Pushes data from one model to another. This is helpful to have detail in one model, and summary level in another model.
- Reporting flexibility using formatting, filtering and attributes is good. This offers flexible reporting and input templates by selectively choosing which data sets are relevant to the user.
- Scripting language isn't very robust...it is a proprietary language that isn't as capable as VBA or other languages. Sometime ABAP code is needed to supplement the business requirement.
- Web Templates don't have the same features as the Excel Ad-in. The use of filters and dimension over-rides don't exist.
- We chose BPC since it was part of the SAP suite. We implemented BPC when we implemented SAP ERP.
- Hyperion and Khalix
Khalix had great scripting logic. BPC has a user friendly consolidation process. BPC administration Web portal is slow and laggy.
