This document provides an overview and lessons on key concepts in SAP BPC, including:
- BPC involves operations on the SAP GUI, web interface, and Excel. It is based on SAP BW and uses BW as its data source.
- Environments, dimensions, models, permissions, and the EPM plug-in are important BPC concepts. Environments contain models, dimensions define data views, and models correspond to BW info cubes.
- The EPM plug-in is used to build reports in Excel that access BPC data. Transformation and conversion files are used to load data into BPC from files via packages that invoke BW process chains.
