You will use a version of the BPC11.0 web client as well as the BW Modeling perspective in HANA Studio.

Participants will learn how to model advanced DataStore Objects, CompositeProviders for basic and advanced planning scenarios for the Embedded model to meet requirements such as data loads, manual input planning, characteristic relations, commenting and merging SAP and external data.

You will learn how to meet all business calculation requirements by using BW Queries, Analysis for Excel options, standard planning functions such as top down distribution, FOX coding including rolling forecast, and ABAP Managed Database Procedures (AMDP) for example.

In the Design Studio and Analysis for Excel, you will learn how to connect to the server, create planning applications, perform ad hoc planning, create style sheets, integrate planning functions, apply advanced techniques that include VBA, and use SAP functions. You will learn how to create advanced BW Queries, work with variables and hierarchies.

You will learn how to control planning processes with work status and business process flows, security, and how to transport new objects. You will manage work status and also launch activities from Analysis for Excel.
