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*Q1/2004SAP NetWeaver 2004SAP NetWeaver 2004s*current as of June 2005SEM - BPSBW-BPS remains functional. Maintenance is ensured by SAP.BI integrated PlanningBW - BPSSEM-BPS becomes BW-BPSQ4/2005


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 neededNo 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

Starting with SAP NetWeaver 04 the generic planning framework of BPS moved from SAP SEM to SAP BW. SAP NetWeaver is the technical foundation for the mySAP Business Suite. As SAP BW is a part of SAP NetWeaver, BW-BPS is now available for planning in all SAP applications. Any type of planning application may be built just by using the generic planning framework. SEM offers planning content which is built using the generic planning functionality and financials specific function enhancements. This content is called SEM Business Planning. Planning in BW-BPS comprises four major areas:In Modelling you define the data model of your planning process. That means that you define how your planning process will be set up in regards to your business structure (slice and dice) and planning strategy (e.g. bottom-up, top-down, counter-current).Planning Functions are functions that support the automatic processing of the plan data (e.g. copying, forecasting, ...) in a simulative fashion or embedded in batch processing. The Planning Layouts allow to set up the context of entering plan data for your different users. Web interfaces consist of one or many planning layouts or Web Application queries together with planning functions to support the planner with the planning task. In order to coordinate the sequence of the planning process you may assign planning tasks to the planners and track the status of the planning accomplishments. With SAP NetWeaver 2004 the generic planning platform of BPS is contained in SAP BW. SAP NetWeaver is the technical foundation for the mySAP Business Suite. As SAP BW is a part of SAP NetWeaver BW-BPS can be used by all SAP solutions. The move of the planning topic to SAP BW contains considerable benefits for all customers of SAP regarding lower TCO, enhanced user productivity and improved performance. The delivery of BW-BPS with SAP BW also simplifies the system landscape and lowers maintenance costs. The future direction of planning in SAP NetWeaver 2005 is headed towards a full integration of generic planning functionality into the SAP BI Platform and the SAP NetWeaver environment. In addition BI integrated planning will fully leverage the integration features of SAP NetWeaver. The availability of BEx (Analyzer and Web Applications) as end user interface will enhance user productivity and lower training costs. The web based modelling environment will provide the business expert with an intuitive modelling environment. As BI integrated planning will share all objects with SAP BI the number of customizing objects will be reduced and therefore the implementation time and maintenance costs decreased.Data redundancy will be reduced through the availability of the OLAP features (e.g. the OLAP currency translation may be executed ad hoc while displaying a query, therefore amounts need to be stored in one currency only, different currencies may be shown using the currency translation feature of BEx). A service framework which leverages the Enterprise Service Architecture will provide a set of planning & analysis services. Other applications or customers will be able to easily add their own services.
