1. Conceptualize complex processes into customer prominent solutions. Based on professional application and advanced
analysis qualification, customer business requirements can be recognized and transferred into concepts and blueprints of
prominent customer solutions (40%).
Topics / Learning Options:
Data Entry
You should be familiar with all aspects of data entry, including but not limited to:
o Reported financial data
o Posting levels: used to classify journal entries in the consolidation system and differentiate between
reported data, standardized data, elimination entries and elimination of investment entries. (Consolidation
of investments)
o Additional financial data
There are several areas where additional financial data can be used including, but not limited to changes in
investments and elimination of inter-unit profit in inventory.
o Flexible/Fixed data layouts
o Manual posting
Master data for consolidation
You should be familiar with both options for master data as well as features for master data such as:
o Data synchronization with BI
o Changing objects in BI
o Consolidation specific master data including breakdown categories.Breakdown categories provide similar functions and features to field status, a common theme throughout
most of SAP financials and other modules, but, can also be used on the loading of totals records. Thorough
understanding of how breakdown categories insure data integrity will be covered.
o Time and Version dependencies
Versions are used to execute parallel consolidations according to different aspects of data, such as:
(for example, Actual, Plan, Target)
Accounting principles (for example, U.S. GAAP, IAS, German HGB)
Valuations
Simulations (for example, to see how different exchange rates or a divestiture of a consolidation
unit affect the consolidated statements)
A consolidation area can have one or more characteristics with the role version. If multiple characteristics have the role
version, you can choose which version combination is to be used in consolidation. The role version cannot be assigned to
dependent characteristics, which are compounded with independent characteristics.

www.precisetrace.com/education | www.precisetrace.com/pearsonvue | [email protected] | +966 3 896 9538
When there are two characteristics with the role version: Accounting Principles and Data Category, these might have the
following characteristic values:
Data category: Actual and Plan
Accounting principles: U.S. GAAP and German HGB
You use both accounting principles for planning, but you use only U.S. GAAP for creating consolidated statements with
actual data. Therefore, you select the following three combinations (out of the four that are available):
Actual / U.S. GAAP
Plan / U.S. GAAP
Plan / German HGB
o Hierarchies
Hierarchies of consolidation units are always defined as version dependent and time dependent. You can
decide whether hierarchies of other characteristics in the consolidation system (SEM-BCS) are dependenton time or the version (for example, hierarchies for financial statement items and sub assignments). Other
hierarchies are independent of versions, time periods, and version dependent.
Assignments (higher-level nodes lower-level nodes) within a version are time dependent. A starting year and period
determine from which point forward an assignment is valid, and an ending year and period determine up to which point in
time the assignment is valid. The assignment can also be valid across multiple timeframes.
When defining a hierarchy in SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence (BI) for a characteristic, you can choose: whether
hierarchies of this characteristic are version dependent and whether the entire hierarchy or the hierarchy structure is time
dependent.
Hierarchy settings in BI also affect the consolidation system. Hierarchies of consolidation units are the exception: They must
be defined as time and version dependentregardless of the settings in BI.
Reconciliation and Inter-Unit Elimination
Inter-unit (IU) elimination enables you to eliminate business relationships, based on the trade of goods and services between
the consolidation units and within a consolidation group. You should be familiar with implementation considerations related
to eliminations including:
o Selections for eliminations
Selection is at least a pair of financial statement items and, if applicable, consolidation unit, partner unit,
sub-assignments, and other characteristics which are used to determine the elimination difference. You usethe selections to reflect the business relationships (receivables/payables etc.) between the consolidation units
which are within a consolidation group. You can create multiple pairs of selections for each elimination
method. The first selection contains the accounting objects; the second selection contains the offsetting
accounting objects for the eliminations.

o One and two sided posting
Two-sided inter-unit elimination is based on two selections, uses a pair of elimination entries, and is
typically used for eliminations of group-internal business relationships through trade and services. Posting
level 20 is reserved for this task.
By contrast, one-sided inter-unit elimination is a simplified form of elimination. One sided eliminationentries are based on the values listed in only one selection.
o Strategies related to posting differences
Differences can be posted to a specific consolidation unit or based on values in a business context. Exposure
to strategies should be included in a consultant's experience.
Currency Translation
Translation of financial data, usually reported by consolidation units in local currency, to group currency isrequired to create consolidated financial statements. Subject matter to be familiar with include:
o Translation to Target Currency: Used to translate the data records from a source key figure (such as the
local currency) to a target key figure (such as the group currency).
o Rounding: When different exchange rates are used to translate different sections of the trial balance,
rounding errors can occur during the translation of currencies. Rounding function insures that the
rounding rules are observed (in the source currency), and the system clears the rounding differences in the
target currency insuring a footed trial balance.
Reclassification
The reclassification function enables you transfer values from one account assignment to another. In the
Consolidation system you can use reclassifications for all posting levels. That is, you can use them to: Adjust the
financial data reported by consolidation units to meet the group's accounting requirements (standardizing entries)
and to reclassify already-consolidated data. One of the most common reclassification tasks in consolidations are the
postings to the income statement clearing, current year retained earnings, and balance sheet clearing accounts.
You also can use reclassifications to model the proportionate method of consolidation in the system. One should be
familiar with:
o Elements of reclassification
o Appropriate use of different posting levels
o Conditions and Sub assignments

Manual Postings
Posting levels, inversion, (reversal) and other aspects of manual postings provide one of the initial building blocks
for reported financial data. Subject matter may include investment related activities and the posting of group shares.
Validation
Used to insure consistency of reported, standardized, consolidated, and additional financial data, validations can be
used for both totals data and documents.
2. Build solutions by independently researching valid implementation options. Based on profound understanding and deep
application skills, project requirements can be transferred into solid customer solutions (40%).
Topics / Learning Options:
Data Modeling
Included in this section are features and constraints related to: Data basis, Consolidation area, permanent
parameters, and periodicity.
Consolidation of Investment activity
Consultants should understand the differences between the supported accounting techniques, including Purchase
and Equity Method. You should also understand the relationship between investment activities and those methods.
Knowledge of proportionate/proportional consolidation is also advised.
International Accounting Standards (IAS & US GAAP)
BCS is designed to handle multiple accounting standards. Consultants should be knowledgeable about the differencebetween accounting standards and concepts related to Consolidation of Investment
Treatment of Goodwill
Migration from:
o ECCS
o Legacy Systems
Balance Carry Forward and the appropriate settings related to movement types

Change to consolidation group
3. Accomplish and identify solutions for defined project tasks. Based on profound knowledge and basic understanding,
identified tasks can be performed during system implementation, configuration, and testing (20%).
Topics / Learning Options:
Reporting
Reporting with BI queries, technical reports, XBRL, and other tools and functions are all included in this section.
Consultants should also be familiar with the use of virtual info providers and multi providers within the context of a
data mart.
Financial reports in consolidation are generated with queries that are neither directly based on the InfoCubes for
totals records nor journal entries. Instead, these queries are based on the virtual InfoProviders delivered in SAP BI
Content, which in turn refer to the aforementioned InfoCubes. The reason for this indirect method of data access is
due to accounting principles with regards to single-entity statements and consolidated statements which necessitate
various modifications to the data stored in the BasicCubes. The data staging occurs dynamically when a query is
executed with the help of programs that are assigned as data sources for the virtual InfoProviders. Data staging can
involve the following steps:
o Consideration of the hierarchy of consolidation units and groups, and the assignment of those consolidation
units to the consolidation groups: During this step, the system may need to temporarily create additional
data records or, for reporting purposes, even discard data records read from the InfoCube for totals records.
o If a consolidation unit simultaneously belongs to more than one consolidation group, the system creates in
the virtual InfoProvider additional data records that are not contained in the InfoCube for totals records.
Financial closing procedures/processes
Allocations and assessments and all aspects related to fast close including timing and sequences can be included in
the exam. Consultants taking the exam should also be familiar with the appropriate use and limitations of trading
partner and group accounts.
Planning
BCS has fairly specific data requirements. Consultants should be aware of those requirements as they relate to
planning and the integrated tools that use BI including BPS and BI-IP.
Archiving
Authorization
Subject matter includes authorization objects related to task processing as well as reporting authorization.
Consultants should understand the differences between the two.

Transports
Consultants should be familiar with transport tools and proper sequencing of transports. In addition copying
consolidation area-dependent settings and other items may also be included. Appropriate settings for allowing
changes in a productive environment may also be included.
Sample Questions
DISCLAIMER: These sample questions are for self-evaluation purposes only and do not appear on the actual certification
exams. Answering the sample questions correctly is no guarantee that you will pass the certification exam. The certification
exam covers a much broader spectrum of topics, so do make sure you have familiarized yourself with all topics listed in the
Exam Competency Areas before taking the certification exam.
1. You have used the copy function to copy data from version "A" to version "B". Thereafter, both versions are in sync.

period/year).
3. You have the following situation in a customer project: You have a version for plan (200) and a version for actual data
(100). All settings (including the assignment of the exchange rate indicator to an item within the CT method) and the whole
consolidation process are the same. There is one exception concerning the currency translation requested: for actual data
there must be a different exchange rate used than for plan data. What is the lowest cost but still effective way to meet this
requirement?
Please choose the correct answer.
a) O Assign a different exchange rate type to the exchange rate indicator
depending on the version.
b) O Specify the version-dependant setting in the method and assign the
different exchange rate indicator.

Expert Guidance
In preparing for this exam, it is important to remember that the exam covers a broad range of topics, and therefore it is not
possible to ask many questions on any one topic. Certain topics, such as the Master data for consolidation and Data entry
receive more emphasis than topics such as Changes to consolidation groups and Transports. Also, be advised that although
this exam is focused on the technical/configuration aspects of BCS, you will be asked questions regarding accounting
standards and concepts, BI data modeling/reporting as it relates to financial statement presentation, and some questions
related to the transactional accounting system . You should use the percentage guides from the Exam Competency Areas
section above to guide the allocation of your preparation time.
As shown in the sample exam questions, a good understanding of various business scenarios and accounting
procedure/processes is helpful when choosing the best answer from a list of possible approaches. For these types of questions
where multiple answers are correct, it may be helpful to use a selection/elimination strategy. You can possibly eliminate

answers that are factually wrong, while selecting answers that are clearly correct. This leaves fewer answers where you might
not be sure, thus speeding up the selection process.
For questions that are based on product functionality rather than a business scenario, the answers are usually found in the
course material listed for that area in the Exam Competency Areas section above. While several answers may be very similar
in their wording, take sufficient time to clearly understand the meaning of each answer rather than rushing. Remember that
BCS is designed to work globally and that some questions may be in part based on different accounting standards and
practices. That will help in distinguishing which answer(s) is/are correct. Functionality questions are normally about the
primary functions of the software, not obscure or secondary features and options.
Consolidation of investments and related accounting standards are areas where practical knowledge will be especially helpful.
Some of the questions in these areas may not be discussed directly in the training material and require an understanding of
accounting processes. The resources listed below can also be useful in learning the more technical aspects of accounting
methods and practices.
Data modeling with an understanding of InfoProviders and InfoObjects are also important areas of the exam where
experience and additional knowledge will make it easier to score well. The exam was not designed to have 'trick' questions or
answers, but you should think through the choices to make sure you understand the exact meaning and impact of each option
before making your choices.
The majority of the questions in this exam are multiple choice questions. Some of these require you to select the single correct
answer others, are multiple choice questions. In the multiple choice questions, be sure to note the advice on the number of
correct answers. You must choose the number of answers indicated. There isn't any partial scoring and multiple response
questions are scored as either correct or incorrect. There may also be a small number of Fill-in-the Blank items. These
questions are not designed to test your language skills so there is normally a range of acceptable answers, for example with or
without capitalization, etc.

Examinations, Personal Data
SAP will define and publish the scope to be covered by each examination, which is subject to change by SAP without notice.
SAP will define and publish the format and duration of the examination, which are subject to change by SAP without notice.
Examinations and certificates are release-dependent, that is to say examinations cover and certificates are valid in respect of a
particular software release.
SAP reserves the right to limit the validity period of a release-dependent certificate. The validity of a certificate expires no later than
the date at which SAP ends support of the release in question.
SAP will define the releases for which examinations will be offered and their validity.
SAP may offer a delta-certification test to upgrade an existing certificate for a particular release to a subsequent software release.
Delta-certification test candidates must hold the certificate for the current release. Possession of the certificate for a back-level
release does not entitle a candidate to admission to a delta-certification test. SAP reserves the right to include in delta-certification
tests topics of general knowledge and importance as well as topics specific to the new release.
SAP or its subsidiaries store and process personal and examination data in accordance with the applicable statutory data protection
provisions for the purpose of managing the Global Certification Program. Candidates must confirm electronically their acceptanceof such storage and processing before admission to the examination.
Examination Rules
The candidate must arrive at the testing center at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled test appointment. If the candidate arrives
more than 15 minutes late, it is at the discretion of the testing center personnel whether the candidate can be seated without
disrupting the other exams in progress.
At least two forms of identification, including a government issued photo identification, have to be shown to the test center
personnel. Both forms of identification must contain your signature.
The candidate is not permitted to bring papers, books, bags, computers, cell phones, personal organizers, cameras or calculators into
the testing room. Scratch paper will be provided by testing center personnel for use while testing. All scratch paper is collected and
destroyed by testing center personnel at the end of the exam.
The candidate must complete the examination alone and independently. No extra help of any kind is allowed.The examination is timed and the examination time cannot be interrupted or extended.
Candidates must follow the proctor's instructions.
The examination questions and tasks are protected by copyright and must not be written down, copied, photographed or otherwise
reproduced in whole or in part or made available to others in any form.
If a candidate disturbs the examination or breaks any examination rule that candidate will be excluded from the examination
immediately.
Assessment and Results
The examination is evaluated automatically in accordance with general rules defined by SAP.
Candidates are informed of their result, by receiving a score report, if successfully passing their certificate or other feedback.
Successful candidates receive a unique certificate.
Appeals must be lodged within three months after communication of the result. SAP is not required to review appeals lodged after
these three months, and is then entitled to destroy the documents. SAP will hold the results of the examination in a database in
order to be able to ascertain, if necessary, what certification a candidate holds and whether a candidate can be admitted to other
examinations. SAP may also use the data held to provide targeted information to certified candidates and to enable candidates to
retrieve specific information. SAP may also inform others of successful candidates' certification.

Successful candidates must inform the SAP subsidiary where the candidate passed the original Certification in writing of any
change of address, of name, or of employer, or of any other relevant change, attaching official documents and a statement by the
new employer, as appropriate.
Retake Policy
Unsuccessful candidates may retake the same examination.Successful candidates are not permitted to retake the same examination.
No candidate may participate in the same examination for the same release more than three times. A candidate who has failed an
examination three times for a release may not attempt that examination again until the next release.
The retake possibility is dependent on the availability of the exam to be retaken. Retake candidates may have to attempt the
examination for a later release.
Candidates pay a fee for all retakes.
Candidates violating the SAP retake policy may be subject to any appropriate action, including legal remedies, that SAP deems
necessary or appropriate to enforce SAP's retake policy.
Certification Fees
Candidates pay a certification fee for admission to the examination.
This certification fee covers the examination, assessment, and, for successful candidates, the certificate.
Infringements of the Examination Rules
In the event of a serious infringement of the examination rules, all certificates that have been awarded to the candidate will be
revoked and the candidate will be excluded from further examinations. The candidate will be requested to return all certificates to
SAP without delay.
In the event of a minor infringement of the examination rules, the exam of the candidate concerned will be documented as a "fail"
but the candidate may retake in accordance with the SAP retake policy. Infringement of copyright and other unlawful harm to SAP
will be treated as a serious infringement of the examination rules and will result in the actions indicated above. SAP will use proper
judgment and fairness in deciding whether an infringement is serious or minor. The candidate concerned will receive written
notification of the actions with justification of this action.
