A little less than a year ago I dived into SAP BPC world. It is a great career path for me and I don’t regret switching my focus from SAP FICO to SAP BPC. I still believe BPC fits better to my profile and skills set. I was lucky enough to take official SAP courses – BPC420, BPC430 and BPC440  and be able to certify after that. The courses are very valuable and give you the opportunity to form a stable foundation, but they do not cover Logic Script very well. That is the reason I decided …

In February 2015, SAP released SAP Cloud for Planning. It is a new EPM product widely advertised as the collaborative tool for Planning and not less importantly it is web-based with Spreadsheet look and feel. Initially, I was confused about where this solution is going to fit overall portfolio of SAP Products.  Is this solution going to replace BPC? There are also other similar questions which directly and indirectly affect my current and future work. I am sure that I am not the only one who is confused, so I will share my thoughts on research I made. …

Last week, I managed to pass the BPC Certification Exam with 91%! Hooray :). After two weeks of extensive preparation and about two or three weeks of practicing different consolidation and planning scenarios, the feeling was nice . Considering the fact I am relatively new to the BPC (about six months experience so far) makes the success enjoyable for me. There are probably places where you will find questions & answers for the exam, but I do not get the idea of having Certification without real hands-on knowledge to perform your duties. So, please if …

Part of my preparation for BPC certification was to follow all exercises in BPC440 course book. I attended BPC440 two months ago and right now, it was the perfect time for me to revise my knowledge. As the Consolidation part is fully of specific properties, business rules and some logic script, it was imperative for me to clarify most of the content. I did following videos on SAP BPC 10.1 NW HANA, even though the exam and courses which I attended are on BPC 10.0. The difference between classic BPC 10.1 environments and BPC 10.0 is minor, and …

Continuing my series for building own SAP HANA training server in this video I am goosing to show you my progress. I already wrote about buying guide and also about installing the memory on my workstation. In this post you will see screen recordings from my workstation showing you my VMware images with BPC 10.1 NW SP05 installed on MSSQL and HANA databases. It took me really a lot of time to setup it. Probably about 3-4 weeks in the evenings after work I invested at least 1-2 hours each day. For sure it was …
