BCS/4HANA available since February 13, 2019
The article by Prof. Dr. Johannes Wirth shows very well the direction of group consolidation with SAP.
Here are some excerpts:
"SEM-BCS is a mature and widely used (internal/external harmonized) consolidation solution. Technologically, it is based on the SAP Business Warehouse, which opens up many degrees of freedom, especially for data delivery and reporting. A central feature is the pre-programmed and user-specific consolidation logic. With this, simple and complex issues of group consolidation can be comprehensively implemented with system support.
With SAP's HANA strategy, the SAP BusinessWarehouse was also optimized for this technology (= SAP BW/4HANA). The BusinessWarehouse is no longer based on the Netweaver platform; instead, new technical objects ("advanced DataStoreObjects" (aDSO)) are used, which have been optimized specifically for the performance of the HANA database. Stringent to this, BCS was also rebuilt for the new BW platform. The rebuild resulted in a new product "SAP BW/4HANA, business consolidation add-on" (hereafter referenced as "BCS/4HANA"). Version 1.0 of BCS/4HANA has been generally available ("generally available") since February 13, 2019. It runs on SAP BW/4HANA 1.0, and the release note for BCS/4HANA is SAP Note 1330000.
....
In addition to the license for the BW/4HANA platform, the use of BCS/4HANA requires another license that is part of the license for SAP S/4HANA for Group Reporting: the prerequisite for the use of BCS/4HANA is the purchase of the license for 50 consolidation units in S/4HANA for Group Reporting. Customers who have purchased this license (as well as the license for SAP BW/4HANA) can thus use BCS/4HANA for an unlimited number of consolidation units (from a commercial perspective).
Information on the technical installation of BCS/4HANA is provided in SAP Note 2684537. Regarding the conversion from SAP BW to SAP BW/4, there are two techniques, in-place conversion and remote conversion; these are described in SAP Note 2383530. Regarding the conversion from SEM-BCS to BCS/4HANA, currently only the in-place conversion is possible (see SAP Note 2651241)."
For further information and discussion I can recommend the seminars from https://www.rechnungslegungsseminare.de/.
