Introduction
The BPC sub-connector of the Performer Suite enables the usage of two products: Docu Performer and System Scout.
The Performer Suite supports and synchronizes the objects of the following BPC versions:
...
This article describes the development of SAP BPC, presents existing versions, and explains what is planned for the future. I would also like to show which versions and objects Performer Suite supports in the context of SAP BPC.
General - SAP BPC
SAP currently offers the following versions of BPC:
- SAP BPC 10.0 Standard
- SAP BPC 10.1 Standard (Successor of version 10.0)
- SAP BPC 11.0 Standard (Successor of version 10.1 for BW/4HANA)
- SAP BPC 10.1 Embedded (Development of BW-IP)
- SAP BPC 11.0 Embedded (Development of BW-IP for BW/4HANA)
BPC Standard vs. BPC Embedded
BPC Embedded was developed to unite "BI-IP" and "BPC". This grouping takes place under the HANA Planning and Application Kit.

|---|---|---|

With the release of "SAP HANA" and "SAP BW on HANA", SAP built more and more functionality into HANA, which resulted in the so-called Planning Application Kit (PAK). The aim was to make the advantages of the HANA database technology usable for planning as well. SAP BO Analysis for Office" (Excel-based) or the "SAP BEx Web Application Designer" are available as frontends for planning. |
BPC Embedded ensures the collaborative use of Business Process Flows in BI-IP and BPC. Master data maintenance is also possible in the EDW.

Future of BW-IP and BPC Embedded 11.0
BW-IP is no longer developed and won't be supported for BW/4HANA by SAP. BI-IP and PAK will be integrated into BPC Embedded 11.0.
The following table shows which planning components are supported by BW/4HANA:
...
As mentioned above, this image shows that the BW/4 product does not contain planing.
BPC and the Performer Suite
Use the following analysis functions to identify relevant information at one glance within the Performer Suite software:
...
The next chapter explains which elements of BPC-Embedded the Docu Performer Suite supports.
BPC Embedded & the Performer Suite
The following BPC Embedded elements are already part of the BW license and are therefore directly supported by the Performer Suite:
| BPC Embedded Object | Supported by Docu Performer Suite? |
|---|---|
| Aggregation Levels |  |
| Planning functions | |
| Planning Sequences | |
| Web Admin Client |  |
| Consolidation | |
| Business Process Flows | |
| Work Status | |
| Models, Dimensions* | |
| Other BPC Embedded related elements | |
*Dimensions = Characteristics, Measures = Key Figures, Models = InfoProviders. All of these three entity types are supported by Docu Performer Performer Suite
The table shows that currently no BPC-specific objects are supported on the BPC Embedded level.
