Usage of BCV for Portfolio Reporting (New)

Use

As of SAP Portfolio and Project Management 5.0, the Business Context Viewer (BCV) is used for portfolio reporting.

BCV is a standard framework that you can use to show context-related information using a side panel. For Portfolio Management, BCV replaces the technology used to provide the reporting cockpit and the portfolio charts.

BCV offers the following features:

  • Generic side panel area
  • Support for several analytical functions
  • Dashboard functionality
  • Configuration center for business content

For Portfolio Management, the following functions are supported with BCV:

  • Reporting cockpit
  • Financial reporting cockpit
  • Financial and capacity planning charts
  • Phase/decision point graphics

To use the BCV functions, the following roles are mandatory:

  • SAP_RPM_BCV_USER_COMP (for user)
  • SAP_BCV_ADMIN (for administrator)

Effects on Customizing

To be able to make settings in Customizing, such as for creating custom charts and tables and for configuring existing charts and tables, you must have the SAP_BCV_ADMIN role.

You can then copy from standard content or create new BCV objects, such as search connectors, BCV queries, BCV query views, BCV dashboards, BCV overviews, and so on.

To use these custom charts and tables with SAP Portfolio and Project Management, you must use the following standard context keys:

  • 1RPM_PORTFOLIO
  • 1RPM_BUCKET
  • 1RPM_ITEM
  • 1RPM_INITIATIVE
  • 1RPM_WHATIF
  • 1RPM_REVIEW
  • 1RPM_COLLECTION
  • 1RPM_FIN_PLN
  • 1RPM_CAP_PLN

The following new settings have been added to link the custom financial and capacity charts with the application in Customizing for SAP Portfolio and Project Management:

  • Portfolio Management-> Global Customizing -> Global Settings -> Check Global Settings
Area: ,,,,,,0010 Portfolio Item FI/CO Planning and Integration
Name of Setting: ,,0004,,Financial Planning Charts: BCV Dashboard Name
Default Settings (SAP):,,X
  • Portfolio Management-> Global Customizing -> Global Settings-> Check Global Settings
Area: ,,,,,,0010 Portfolio Item FI/CO Planning and Integration
Name of Setting: ,,0005,,Capacity Planning Charts: BCV Dashboard Name
Default Settings (SAP):,,X

Moreover, in the launchpad configurations for the application, you can replace the standard BCV dashboard name with a user-defined dashboard name, to be able to link your custom reporting cockpit charts in the application. You can only replace the standard BCV dashboard name if you have provided the application parameter DASHB_ID, which has to be equal to the custom BCV dashboard name.

For the financial reporting cockpit, the customer can directly view his or her custom BCV query views and BCV dashboards in the side panel area.

You can configure the standard InfoSets to add fields that are not already in the search connector, such as custom fields. The user would then need to create his or her own BCV objects for these fields.
