Q&A


What Is SAP BW-BPS?

With SAP BW-BPS, SAP delivers tools for generic planning, supporting a planning process that allows for the construction of a planning model. This model integrates global strategic planning and specific operational planning problems in a closed-loop process, with a strong focus on business processes across the enterprise.

This functionality brings planning, budgeting, and forecasting together with monitoring, reporting, and analysis, and bundles it all into one software installation and one support package cycle.

SAP BW-BPS helps you plan, budget, and forecast by providing functions such as:

Top-down planning and bottom-up contribution with a rich set of planning functions

A planning framework that lets you create and maintain planning models A user interface for manual planning and analysis Tools for process control (i.e., status tracking and monitoring)

Business Planning with SAP NetWeaver – Strategy*

Q1/2004

SAP NetWeaver

2004

SAP NetWeaver2004s

*current as of June 2005

SEM - BPSSEM - BPS

BW-BPS remains functional. Maintenance is ensured by SAP.

BI integrated Planning

BW - BPS

SEM-BPS becomes BW-BPS

Q4/2005


How does SAP secure customer investments in BW-BPS?

Customers will not be forced to migrate. All scenarios created with SAP BW-BPS* will still run, when SAP BI integrated planning was delivered.

SAP BW-BPS will be delivered and maintained with SAP BI releases equal or higher than SAP NetWeaver 2004.

Planning scenarios built with SAP BW-BPS can coexist and integrate with planning scenarios built with SAP BI integrated planning. An InfoCube can be used by BW-BPS and SAP BI integrated planning at the same time.

Apart from this fact, SAP will offer a migration path for the move from SAP BW-BPS to SAP BI integrated planning if needed

No data migration necessary. SAP BI integrated planning can use the same transactional InfoCubes as BW-BPS.

The critical and time consuming part for modeling the planning application (characteristics, key figures, authorizations, locking concept, ...) can be reused in SAP BI integrated planning.

More frontend related objects like planning layouts, web interfaces etc. have to be rebuilt manually

* applies for SAP SEM-BPS, too
