8.1 FIN-SEM Strategic Enterprise Management
8.1.1 FIN-SEM-BCS Business Consolidation
8.1.1.1 BS_FND_CA_SOA_SEM: Financials SOA for SEM, EhP6 (New)
Use
As of SAP Business Suite Foundation 7.31 (MDG_FND 731), you can use this business function to create
inbound services for data replication from Master Data Governance for Financials (MDG-F) to Strategic
Enterprise Management and BI-based Business Consolidation (SEM-BCS). This enables you to distribute
the master data for chart of accounts, accounts including hierarchies, and consolidation units including
hierarchies.
Effects on Data Transfer

You create the master data you want to replicate in MDG-F. You must establish the FIN-SEM-BCS
environment in the target system, for example, the BCS data basis and the consolidation area.
Effects on System Administration

The system administrator must set up the service configuration using PI or SOAManager so that the
MDG-F outbound services can communicate with the SEM-BCS inbound services.
Effects on Customizing
If the system is configured to automatically record changes to the master data for the imported transport
requests, enter the appropriate transport request in Customizing under Cross-Application Components ->
Processes and Tools for Enterprise Applications -> Master Data Governance -> Master Data
Governance for Financials -> Replication -> Enterprise Services-> Inbound Services for Business
Consolidation -> Manage Transport Requests.
You can set the inbound master data replication using the BAdI implementations, for example, the
mapping of master data values, in the Customizing activity Cross-Application Components -> Processes
and Tools for Enterprise Applications -> Master Data Governance -> Master Data Governance for
Financials -> Replication -> Enterprise Services-> Inbound Services for Business Consolidation ->
Business Add-Ins (BAdIs).
8.1.1.2 FIN_ACC_GC_RESTAT: Copying Hierarchies Between Versions (New)
Use

planning or simulation scenarios, for example.
Effects on Existing Data

Effects on the User Interface

Hierarchies node.
Here you can specify the hierarchy-defining characteristic as well as the hierarchy version of the source
and the target. You can also add the changes to a transport request, if required.

group. This functions allows you to verify whether you have recorded the proportion percentage rates
correctly.

Consolidation Functions -> Reclassification. Here you enter the six statistical items with which you
enter the proportion percentage rates. This is required so that the system can list the proportion
percentage rates.

8.1.1.4 FIN_ACC_GC_RESTAT: Conditional Status Update (New)
Use
As of SAP enhancement package 6 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SEM-BW 606), you can suppress the status update
when tasks that post automatically are repeated in the update run, if there have been no changes since the
previous update run and the system therefore does not post documents in the repetition run. If the task is a
preceding task of additional tasks, the system also suppresses the status information update for these
succeeding tasks.
The system suppresses the status update under certain conditions only. For more information, see the
field help for the Conditional Status Update indicator.

decision for specific automatic postings depending on the document type.

document types that have the following properties:
- Automatic posting

Use
As of SAP enhancement package 6 for SAP ERP 6.0 (SEM-BW 606), you can set up an existence check
for exchange rates. When currency translation tasks are executed, the system then checks whether the
exchange rate table contains an exchange rate for the period in which you are executing the currency
translation task. If this is not the case, the system writes an information message to the task log for the
currency translation.

In the settings for the currency translation, there is a new Existence Check for Exchange Rate node.
Here you specify the exchange rate types for which the system is to run the existence check for exchange
rates when currency translation tasks are executed.
