BSA report
A Solvay BUSINESS SUPPORT ACTIVITY (BSA) includes all teams active in the same functional domain, whether in Group Functions, GBUs, SBS or Excellence center.
You can find more information on the BSA in this presentation.
BSA report
A report is published every month by the reporting platform to follow-up BSA costs mixing HR (FTE) and finance data (costs).
5 BSAs are maintained in the system and can be reported:
BSA Finance
BSA HR
BSA Purchasing
BSA industrial
BSA R&I
How does the report work ?
The cost center is used as a unique key between Finance database and HR database.
The report is based on postings done on cost centers.
Each headcount are linked to a cost center in the HR database
Assignement of a cost center to a BSA
A cost center is assigned to a unique BSA => One cost center = One single BSA.
All cost centers are assigned to a group (level 4) of the ZCBS hierarchy and some groups (level 4) of the ZCBS hierarchy are assigned to a BSA through another hierarchy ZCBS_BSA. (For instance the cost center 2295-4320 Function HR is included in the group ZCHRFUN1 of the ZCBS hierarchy that is itself included in the group BSA_HR of the ZCBS_BSA hierarchy. Then the cost center 2295-4320 is assigned to the BSA Human Resources.)
Where to find the ZCBS_BSA hierarchy ?
File: A file is available in gdrive here (be careful it may not the very last version, it is always better to look at the data directly in SAP or BW)
- In SAP
Run the transaction KSH3 - Display cost center hierarchy in WP1 with the controlling area Z013, and enter ZCBS_BSA.
- In BW: Use the report FC - Cost centers master data to get an updated list of cost centers assigned to each BSA
How to improve the accuracy of the BSA reporting?
- Headcount update
If the headcount is linked to a wrong cost center you can update this cost center by using a freshdesk ticket -->Go to Freshdesk / HR Request / System updates / eWS NGA.
- Cost center update
If your cost center is linked to a wrong node in the ZCBS hierarchy, you can update it by submitting a workflow through PF1.
