All About COPA extraction and business view

Hi All,
I have gone through lots of questions posted in this forum about the functionla side of COPA and also on extraction side. Is there any document( preferably a pdf) where I can find all the info in one document about COPA functional aspects .
Thanks in advance.

Srini

Hi Srinivas,
Give us ur mail ID, i can send u one doc.
Re: COPA R/3 vs BW(aCCOUNT BASED-PA)
One of the differences between account based CO-PA and costing-based CO-PA that there is no delta extraction. There is also 1 other rule. You can only select 1 fiscal-period. The set-up is similar to costing based CO-PA.
The big difference between Account Based CO-AP and Costing Based CO-PA is of course the data is stored in the CO Modules.
Account based CO-PA is part of the CO concept. This means when you post to a cost element the data is posted to a CO-module (CCA, OPA, PA, PS etc). The way the data is stored is also different from costing based PA.
The CO tables like COEP, COBK (for the individual item are used and the COSS and COSP are used for the totals.
The object where the posting are related to they are stored in the CE4... table. So if you want to analyse the data there is 1 keyfigure and the cost-element is a characteristic (account model).
COsting Based CO-PA data is statistical data. This means that the update of CO-PA is not always equal to what is stored in the CO modules or in finance. The cost element is also not always updated and there are also more key-figures used to store info about the type of costs or revenues. Tables as CE1, CE2 , CE3 and CE4 are used.
Extraction for Account Based CO-PA is only based on the total records (full loads are only possible). For costing based CO-PA there it is possible work with init and delta packages and also to select data from the individual postings databases (CE1, CE2).
The way you generate the extractor is similar.
Hopelfully this gives you a bit more background of the CO-PA module.
Assign points if it helps..

  • Crystal Reports-Universe and Business Views. Pros & cons. BVs to Universe

    Hi Gurus,
    We have around 500 + Crystal Reports developed on top of Business Views, Stored Procedures, Command Objects and some directly connected to the tables. No Universes are there in our current environment and all reports undergo frequent changes.
    We are planning to replace Business Views with Universe and use them as data provider for existing Crystal Reports and also planning to do some ad-hoc reporting using Web-Intelligence. I have expertise in developing both Crystal Reports and Web Intelligence reports. But I never designed any complex Crystal Reports against Universe / Business Views.  I heard that there are several issues with Crystal against Universe (e.g.: Cascading Prompts, LOVs, Row Level Security etc...) Most of our Crystal Reports have several sub-reports and some dynamic cascading parameters.
    We currently have not finalized any tool. Some are advising not to disturb the current environment and some say migrating to Universe is a good option because Business View manager tool is going to be trashed in few years.  My personal view is to used both Crystal and Web-I and replace Business Views with Universe because we can use it for both Crystal and Web-I.
    Can you please post your views on this?
    Also, please post the issues (& solutions) you got with Crystal Reports against Universe. Also advantages and disadvantages of using Universe over Business Views.
    Environment: Business Objects XI R2 and Crystal Reports XI R2
    Any help is greatly appreciated!    
    Many thanks,
    Shamanth.

    Hello,
    you can find an article about Crystal Reports on Universe here:
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/20984c2b-17f1-2b10-1091-d18977f7cd8f
    As you said, an important item to consider is reusability: if you want to reuse your work between Crystal and WebI then you have to go with Universes.  If you are ok in keeping the two in separate worlds then Business Views can still bring a lot of value to CR.  Business views will stay in the market still for a long time (in mainteinance, so don't expect new features).
    Looking at the future, we expect that In the long term, business views will be replaced by universes. Keeping this in mind, a migration of a report from an 'older' version of a universe to a new one will probably go smoother than a migration from a business view to a universe.
    Hope that it helps

  • Update the schema for data foundation, business element and business view

    Hi All
    I am using oracle 11g as backend to develop using crystal reports and I am using Business View Manager as the connection in crystal reports.
    Now my issue here is I have created the DC, DF, BE and BV using abc schema but as the request has changed I need to update the schema to xyz as table structure is same in both the schemas.
    I was able to successfully update the schema in DC but that is not reflecting in DF, BE and BV as a result of that when I use the updated BV in report report is not run as there was abc.tablename for all tables.
    I have searched google but unfortunately unable to find any useful solution for the problem.
    Experts please help me to update the new schema connection to DF, BE and BV
    I am using Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 and Business Objects 3.1
    Thanks for your time.

    Thanks for your continous assistance Mantu Sahu.....
    Unfortunately I can't paste the screenshot aswell... but will try to explain in detail what I am doing...
    to the left most part there will be datafoundation name... below that there are tables so what I have done is right click on the table in those options there is no change qualifier or ownere but there is option Set table location. Is this option you are discussing about?
    To add more information I am working on Business Objects 2.1 SP0... will this have any impact on the options that are displaying.

  • Copa extraction and tables read

    We want to perform currency translation for a copa extraction.  The requirement to determine if translation takes place is currency type, company code and plan/act indicator.
    I understand copa dynamically picks which table to read during extraction (I've read the notes). 
    The problem we face is that CE3 has the plan/act indicator, but no company code.  CE4 has company code, but no plan/act indicator.
    The only table that has all this information is CE1.  How can we be sure all the correct records are translated if it reads from CE3 and CE4?
    Our COPA datasource has line item information coming over.  So I know it will be reading CE1, but what if it reads CE3 and CE4, this will create inconsistencies??
    Thanks,
    Mark.

    Totalling can be done in reporting.
    This is what I think - Since you are extracting line item level data, summarized data can't be extracted at that level as it will be incorrect( a total getting repeated for each line). If you have chosen even a single line item characteristic, summary level values can't be included in the datasource.
    When you run a query, you have all the option to see the totals in various ways based on the line item level values.

  • Complaint about customer service and business practices

    I am creating this post to make public a complaint i have about unethical practices and poor customer service with Verizon.
    Here is the story:
    A few months back our landline stopped working. Called Verizon and followed all of the troubleshooting steps to try and fix the problem. No dice. I called again- they said they could send a tech out to fix the phone line- and was told specifically that if the problem was INSIDE the house and involved the tech coming INSIDE then there would be a $91 service charge. If the problem was OUTSIDE the house, no charge. So cautious that the problem might be inside, I replaced the phone jack and tried multiple phones etc to make sure it was not an inside issue. Called back and scheduled an appt. The tech came out- was extremely friendly and immediately located and fixed the problem- IN THE BOX OUTSIDE. Said there was a short in one of the lines at the box. It took him less than 5 min. I said- that was easy! He said- yup- and will save you money too (by not having to go inside). That was that. The next month we got our statement (we're on autopay)- and there it was- $91 charge. I called customer service- and after some passing around and review of the tech's notes by the rep- that stated he did NOT enter the house, they agreed to credit us back the $91 on our next bill. That was last month. Statement arrives today- NO CREDIT. I call back. After more passing around I am finally told that it was not credited because our "request" was denied. What? I said? The request was reviewed and denied based on the "notes" showing that i was "informed of the charges at the time of service"? Um, what? No i wasnt. I was informed MULTIPLE times PRIOR to the appt that i COULD incurr charges if the tech came in the house. He did not- his tech notes even state that. So now i get passed to a supervisor. He tells me that the tech notes state that i was told of the charges at the time of service. Funny- the month prior to that when i first called the notes did not state that at all- they simple said that he did not enter the house. Somehow after my "request" was filed the tech notes were modified. The supervisor was very curt and short and said the case was already reviewed and denied- no credit. He then goes on to say that the reason for the charge was because the tech did work on a line that LED into the house? What? Don't all the phone lines LEAD into the house? And regardless- it was explained several times to me that the ONLY charges would be if he came in the house. I have been a loyal Verizon customer for years- but i was shocked and quite frankly **bleep** off. NEVER was i told about any charges during the service. In fact i was told the exact opposite- that there would be NO charges since he never entered the house. This is a horribly deceptive practice- and i am NOT HAPPY. I told the "supervisor" so- who didnt seem to care at all- and told him that i would consider canceling my service because of this- at which he happily said "would you like me to transfer you to cancelations?" wow. Unfortunately I am still locked into my 2 year agreement- however i will unquestionably be looking to switch to brighthouse after its up and will be recommending likewise to my friends and family. You simply cannot tell a customer one thing and then charge them for another. Dont they record all the phone calls for "quality assurance"? Well if so, then they need to listen to the calls i made prior to the appt to ensure that i would NOT be charged if the tech did not enter the house. I triple confirmed this. Verizon has completely lost any credibility in my opinion. NOT HAPPY.

    so yesterday i posted the below complaint about my experience getting charged for service on my landline. After some "private chatting" with various verizon people i got the response that follows. unbelievable. i will without a doubt be canceling my verizon service as soon as my contract is up and will definately be recommending the same to friends and family.
    here is my original post from yesterday:

    This post was followed by an online chat with a verizon person last night- who, after reviewing my acct and the notes on the acct said the following:
    {edited for privacy}
    WHAT? First off I WAS NEVER INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE OF WHERE THE WIRE WAS OUTSIDE MY HOUSE. I was simply told if the work/wires were ANYWHERE ON THE OUTSIDE of the house, which they were, then no charge.  "Internal side of the NID leading into your home"- THIS WAS STILL ALL OUTSIDE! NO ONE EVER SAID IF THE WIRE WAS ON A PARTICULAR SIDE OF THE NID BOX I WOULD BE CHARGED! ONLY IF THE WORK WAS INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE HOUSE! THIS IS CRAZY! AND ARE YOU SERIOUS ABOUT AN INSIDE WIRE MAINTENANCE PLAN? WHO THE HELL HAS THIS? OR HAS EVEN HEARD OF IT?
    I AM SIMPLY AMAZED THAT A HUGE COMPANY LIKE VERIZON FEELS THE NEED TO BULLY AROUND AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PEOPLE LIKE ME. SHAME ON YOU VERIZON. CLEARLY I HAVE LITTLE RECOURSE HERE, HOWEVER AS MENTIONED BEFORE I WILL BE CANCELING MY SERVICE AS SOON AS MY CONTRACT IS UP (TO AVOID ANY RIDICULOUS EARLY TERMINATION CHARGES0 AND WILL BE RECOMMENDING THE SAME TO OTHERS. I WILL OF COURSE BE FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB AND ANY OTHER CONSUMER ADVOCATE GROUPS THAT I CAN - NOT THAT I EXPECT ANYTHING TO COME OF IT- BUT TO SIMPLY LET THIS GO ON RECORD. SHAME ON YOU. YOU CANNOT TELL A CUSTOMER ONE THING AND THEN DO ANOTHER. LISTEN TO THE PHONE RECORDS FOR WHEN I CALLED TO MAKE THE APPT- ALL I WAS TOLD IS THAT THERE WOULD BE NO CHARGE FOR WORK DONE OUTSIDE THE HOUSE...ONLY CHARGE WOULD BE IF WORK WAS DONE INSIDE. WOW. SIMPLY AMAZING.

  • All about  PnL[Profit and Loss] and SGA[Sales Growth analysis]

    hello SDN.
    I have just joined a consumer goods MNC as an executive trainee working on SAP BI.
    My current profile is on SGA loading and  PnL loading.
    Can anyone tell me more about SGA and PnL.
    I do not want the SAP technical points.
    I need the core business explanation for these topics.
    Why are they needed and what role they play at the management level, etc...
    Waiting for the reply eagerly
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I think u r asking more on functional analysis, Management uses Sales Growth Analysis (also called Top Line analysis) to know the growth rate in their Revenues, it shows their Market share and customer retention and new customers added, whether their promotional campaigns worked or not? like this it helps the management.
    Coming to Profit and loss analysis or also called as Bottom line analysis, it shows their efficiency in optimum utilization of resources, increase or decrease in operating expenses etc.
    based on the above two analysis, the scenarios may be like this:
    Revenues increased, but profit come down, what r the reasons?
    Revenues decreased, but profits increased, reasons?
    etc.
    this may be useful
    Thanks

  • Multi pass bursting of a Crystal report on business view with a bex query

    In BO CMC, we have a group with a list of user.
    The idea is to burst (via the multi pass bursting method) a Crystal report for this list of user with the constraint that this report should only contains data of the store linked to the user.
    Our data comes from a SAP BI cube.
    The link between a Store and a User comes from an other system.
    We have build a bex query and use it as a data source of a Crystal Data Foundation.
    In this Data Foundation we have an other table storing the user ID and the Store ID.
    These 2 tables are linked in this Data Foundation on the Store ID.
    Business element and Business View have also been created on top of this Data Foundation.
    We have impletemented a filter in this Data Foundation to filter out data on the user id. This user id will be filled when bursting the report for all requested users thanks to this function :.
    As a user is linked to one store, the data foundation will filter the data coming from the bex query and show only the data of the user's store.
    We have build a crystal report using the business view created above as data source. We have made some test on a small amount of data and it works, data are correctly filter out and the reports shows only the data from one store.
    But the problem is that we have a lot of stores (more than 600) and doing this way implies that the bex query will always return the data for all the stores as the filter will occurs in the data foundation and not on the bex query.
    We need to find a way to make the bex query returning only the data of the store linked to the user for which we burst the report.
    As we have more than 600 stores this was an idea to avoid managing more than 600 under BO groups or more than 600 different filters.
    This solution do not work when the bex query result set is too large.
    Does anyone has an idea on how to implement such "dynamic" filter in the bex query? The parameter is the user ID but the filter to be applied on the bex query is on the store ID.
    We are under BO XI release 2, Crystal XI Release 2 and we have installed the BO release 2 integration kit for SAP

  • If Generic R3 Data Extraction does it all, why other extraction techniques?

    Hi,
    I am reviewing some documents about data extraction and I have a quick question.
    With
    1. standard Business Content extraction and
    2. Generic R/3 Data Extraction (which by definition, can be used to extract any data from R/3)
    why are there other techniques for extraction?
    For example, I do not recall but I remember that there was a different technique to extract FI data and another to extract CO data.
    Why is the need for these other techniques if Generic R/3 Data Extraction can do it all?
    (By the way, if you recall the FI and CO extraction techniques you may give me some hints)
    Thanks

    Hi Amanda,
    Would like to put something from my side as well.
    Generic extractor are a strong a tool but with lot of limitations like...if you have seen it there...only three kinds of delta menthod is supported and that too changes to only one field is captired and cannnot be used with cluster and pool tables which form a mojor portion of FI domain.Even if you can write FM for that but then it has its limitations with delta enabeling and capturing delta and performance which again leaves lot of work to be done by us.
    What SAP has coded for standard FI-CO data sources internally is very complex and if tried to be achieved through standard generic data sources and coding all the time......will make SAP very tough to be used by masses and to learn for the beginners like me and you.
    A standard transaction in SAP may hit several tables and to capture exact changes may require to write quite a complex logic and lot of thorough testing.
    We do build out own data sources for FICO as well but most of the time the need is satisfied by the existing data sources.
    I think SAP knows what kind of reports are required by the users in R/3 as they did thorough study about this and then came up with these extractors to make possible same kind of reports in BW.
    This is the advantage of SAP over other tools that it has inbuilt logic to extract the data from standard tables and capture all kind of changes in delta and manage delta easily without being bothred too much about internal complications...all you have to do intially is start the work by having a knowledge of FI and BW data sources...slowly you can start playing with them and come up with customized one and explore SAP.....as your requirement grows.
    Rest others have already explained.
    Thanks

  • Design view and browser view in DW are different than when I view from local folder

    I'm brand new to Dreamweaver CS5.5 and here is my problem:
    I've made an html page in dreamweaver with a banner, with an additional graphic and some text on top of the banner.  It displays just fine in every browser when I view from the local folder, but when I open DW and view, it displays incorrectly in all three design, live and browser views within DW.  If I make changes to the css file until it views correctly in design view, it no longer displays correctly from the local folder and it still doesn't view correctly in live or browser view within DW.  If what I'm doing isnt going to display accurately in any of the views provided by Dreamweaver as compared to the live server, whats the point in having this software?  I could just keep building webpages in notepad and uploading with CoreFTP.
    Any suggestions?  Is it some setting that I dont know about that I need to change within DW?   Please help.

    align="center" is deprecated (obsolete) code in XHTML & HTML5 doc types.  Instead of styling markup with HTML, you should be using CSS. 
    CSS
    .center {text-align:center}
    HTML
    <p class="center">some centered text here</p>
    With respect to break tags, in XHTML doc types the correct syntax is <br /> not <br>.  However your usage of line breaks is inconsistent with good symantic markup.  Use headings <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> for important keywords.  Use <p> for descriptive paragraphs.  Use <ul> <li> or <ol> <li> for lists.  Line breaks should be used minimally if ever.
    XHTML doc types require all tags to be lowercase.  Uppercase tags will throw errors.
    Your design is too rigid.  When text size is increased in browsers, your content is unreadable.  See screenshot.
    SOLUTIONS:
    1) DO NOT USE POSITION ABSOLUTE.  You don't need it.  Absolute positioning removes content from the normal document flow resulting in a jumbled mess.  Use default CSS positioning (none) with margins, padding & floats to align elements.
    2) Remove HEIGHT values from all CSS containers.  Height limits a container's capacity to hold more content when needed.  Container height should always be determined by the amount of content it holds; not explicit values.  If required to reveal a background image, for example, use CSS min-height instead of height.

    Some questions about Crystal Reports and Business One, I try run some Crystal reports developed in special but for some reason when I ussing Terminal Services this unplug, so, more strange its when the user are not administrators because when are adminstrators this problem is not present.
    Some tip its welcome.
    Thanks a lot

    Hi Ricardo,
    I checked the privileges point to point, even as he opened like to administration, but no response as to assign regular users, that is strange.
    >I didn't  undertstand these statement .What do you mean  by point to point .There is only one place you have to specify was user has access to the group you have defined .As described , it is done in number 4 .(Please refer to that )
    When we are talking about user -there is two user --One is superuser and regular user
    If you are super user , you have to give permission to other users to only crystal report and regular user  doesn't need access to Administration module <referring he opened like to administration> .
    BTW , Are you familiar with crystal report administration in SAP b1 ? You can find several thread poiting towards training material in the forum
    Hope this helps

  • Audit Policy and Event Viewer

    Hi everyone,
    I'm a junior IT auditor seeking for answers about audit policy and event viewer.
    First of all I would like to know what are the difference of log that we obtain from audit policy and event viewer?
    I would like to know that can event viewer show these logs:
    Audit account logon events
    Audit account management
    Audit directory service access
    Audit logon events
    Audit object access
    Audit policy change
    Audit privilege user
    Audit process tracking
    Audit system events
    Thanks in advanced :)

    Hi sally_scrubb,
    As you said, if you configure audit policy, it can provide broad security audit capabilities for client computers and servers. And if you configure this policy, you will find the related events in the Event Viewer.
    For your information, please refer to the following article:
    Audit Policy Settings Under Local Policies\Audit Policy
    In this article, you can find the several links which deliver more detailed information about the items which were listed in your post. From the links, you can learn how to configure the item, what you can get from the item, and the related events about
    the item.
    Hope that helps!
    Regards,

  • Regarding LOV's in Crystal Reports- Business View

    Post Author: crystalappu
    CA Forum: General
    Hi All, I have developed a Business View for our crystal reports, We have like two levels of cascading prompting. In which the user can select ALL option in drop down LOV's in second level. I have added an 'all' object using command object in Business View. But when my Crystal report Developer is accesing my LOV prompt Group he is unable to see ALL in drop down LOV. But when i browse field in my command object i can see my 'ALL' object in it. Any idea upon this?

    Perhaps you should post an example or explain using technical information how you added this command object?
    Did you use a UNION ALL?
