Question:
I have spoken to some SAP contacts and researched service.sap.com yet I cannot find any guidelines on the following for BCS:
- Recommended number of matrix combination consolidation units
- Recommended number of profit centres/ groups (I have been told by an unnoffical SAP contact that this is 9000)
- Recommended number of group accounts (again, a SAP contact has said the latest recommendation is approximately 1000)
- possible combination of the above- eg does half the number of accounts mean I can have twice as many profit Centres?
- ALso number of transactions (assuming account balances) BCS should
foreseeably manage per annum
Any help or information or experiences much appreciated.
Kind regards

I'm using BCS 4.0
Answer:
I have read from SAP documents in the SEM media library that the recommended maximum number of cons units (combined) is 10,000. I have also read the for FS Items, the "best practice" is 1,000 or fewer, but I have seen as many as 2,700 with one implementation. The greater the number of both cons units and FS Items the more records likely in the database which affect the performance with respect to both the processing in the Monitor as well as reporting.
