SAP BPC NW 7.5 - Journal in Consolidated BS and P&LJothi Periasamy
SAP BPC Nw 7.5 - Journal in Consolidated BS and P&L
Jothi Periasamy
Journal entries play an important part in a Business’s consolidation process. They are utilized to manage reporting inconsistencies arising out of currency conversion on inter- company transactions, to carry forward balances into a new year and other consolidation operations.
The consolidation process includes the collection of data from the underlying
Systems which will usually include ECC. (ERP Central Component). After the data is collected, it is prepared by carrying out manual adjustments, reclassifications, and currency translations. Validation can be run at any time in the overall process. Eliminations are the last part of the process where inter unit activities as well as consolidation of investments are performed.
Using BPC administration console and BPC for Excel, business users can create, post, UN post, repost and manage journals. As a onetime effort, users need to setup a journal template using BPC administration console and perform the journal operations using the BPC for Excel interface
Following scenarios are covered by this guide:
Journal operations
Journal Template Creation
Journal Enter Creation
Journal Entry Posting, Un-Posting , Re-Posting
Journal Reporting
Journal Multi Entry
Administrators load data from various source GL systems in to a Model. Accounting team will review the data and should there be discrepancy in balancing accounts/amounts, the team will create Journal (s) to balance the amounts for reconciling. This is necessary since correcting the source system and reloading may take significant amount of down time. This process is typically done after month-end and quarter-ends.
SAP BPC on HANA EPM Report Developer Guide - Part #1 - v9Jothi Periasamy
Overview:
Dynamic formatting is defined in a dedicated sheet. A specific format (such as font, colour, or size) can be defined for levels of a hierarchy, types of members, odd/even rows or columns and page axis dimensions. We can define specific dynamic formatting in a template to apply to sheets or reports. Since the EPM Formatting Sheet is an excel sheet, it can be copied and changed to be applied to other reports, worksheets.
● A blank template sheet is provided with the add-in. You can specify the formatting you want in this sheet.
● For Planning and Consolidation connections, two pre-defined templates are provided. You can create additional template sheets by copying the default sheet as you would copy a standard Microsoft Office Excel worksheet. EPM Formatting Sheet can be used to format your Reports and Input Forms. There are various options for formatting.
You can do simple formatting, lock the cells that are not input ready, use the format by property using multiple criteria, or use a new cell-based formula delivered with the EPM add-in to override the data range formatting.

During moth end/period close, there are situations where each company is struggled with differences in the intercompany Accounts Receivable / Accounts Payable reconciliations. The main problem for this imbalance between subsidiary GL posting is that the data accessibility and integration across organization and its source systems.
The option of using one model with data access controlled via member access profiles for the data source dimension may take security too complex. For this reason, a separate intercompany matching model is considered.

Reduce Oracle EBS Month End Accruals Process Time using Automated DashboardRapidValue
Business enterprises are presently living in the age of digital Darwinism. An enterprise will either have to adapt to modern trends or it fails to survive in the competitive market. Traditional enterprise systems like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) alone cannot suffice the need of tech savvy millennial workers who expect quick, intuitive and remotely accessible solutions. A key requirement for all business enterprises is to adapt to the modern trends and strive for digital transformation.
A computer based management system is designed to handle all the primary information required to calculate monthly statements of customer account which include monthly statement of any month. Separate database is maintained to handle all the details required for the correct statement calculation and generation.
This project intends to introduce more user friendliness in the various activities such as record updation, maintenance, and searching. The searching of record has been made quite simple as all the details of the customer can be obtained by simply keying in the identification or account number of that customer. Similarly, record maintenance and updation can also be accomplished by using the account number with all the details being automatically generated. These details are also being promptly automatically updated in the master file thus keeping the record absolutely up-to-date.
On Open Day, we share our activities of the month with each other and the community. It's when we take a step back and see where we stand. Here's our Open Day for January 2019.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

What is a Journal?
A Journal is a quick fix to balance an un-balanced account/amount
It is a manually entered and traceable
adjustment(s)/correction(s) made to the system/model
The changes do not cascade-down to the Source System
Journal posting will update the corresponding InfoCube and
Journal Detail Table
Any logic is written in Journal.lgf will be executed when the data is
written to the Model via Journal Entry
Default.lgf is executed for Journal Entries only if the Journal.lgf is
not used
Business Scenario:
Administrators load data from various source GL systems in to a Model.
Accounting team will review the data and should there be discrepancy
in balancing accounts/amounts, the team will create Journal (s) to
balance the amounts for reconciling. This is necessary since correcting
the source system and reloading may take significant amount of down
time. This process is typically done after month-end and quarter-ends.
