COPA -Acccount based and cost based

Hi ,
I want to know from BW Point of veiw ,
what is the difference betwee costing based Ectractor and account based Extractor .
Can some body explain me .
Regards

Data Source-Accounting Base:
When we generate CO-PA Data Source select accounting based option.
Fields KOKRS, BUKRS, KSTAR are compulsory.
There are no Characteristics available for line Items because accounting based data sources do not contain characteristics.
There are no value fields or calculated key figures available
KOKRS and PERIO must be selected as selection fields.
To Provide Data Source for BW all CO-PA Data Sources must be generated in the Source System.
Data Sources can be defined at Operating Concern and client level.
Data Source Contains the following Information
Name of the Operating Concern
Client
Subset of the Characteristics
Subset of the Value fields
Time Stamp which data has already been loaded in to BW.
Cost based:
Cost based CO-PA is the form of Profitability Analysis that groups costs and Revenues according to value fields and costing based valuation approaches,both of which you can define your self.
It gaurentees you can access at all times to complete,short-term profitability report.
In Overhead cost controlling primary postings are made to objects in overhead cost controlling and assigned to relevant cost object. Actual cost of goods manufactured also assigned to cost objects and at the same time performing cost centers are credited
Hope it will helps you........

  • 1 Operating Concern for Account Based and Cost Based COPA

    Hi,
    We are using Operating Concern 3000 for Account Based and Cost based Profitability Analysis. However when i try to extract data from the account based Operating concern it gives me an error in extraction : error 09.
    Could it be that we cannot use one operating concern for both types or COPA?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Have you deactivated any of the characteristics used in Account based COPA
    Check KEQ3 and you may have activated only for Costing based COPA

  • COPA : Accounting Based and Costing Based

    Hello Guru's,
    We are on ECC 6.0 and BI 7.3. Our customer is going to implement Accounting based COPA and Costing based COPA in ECC. We have a requirement to have both the Accounting based and Costing based COPA analysis  available in BI. 
    My questions and concerns:
    If we configure both type of COPA in ECC then Can we create both type of data sources also in ECC  ? one for Accounting based COPA and one for Costing based copa ?  If yes then do we need to have 2 infocubes in BI  or one infocube with mapping of both the data source will work ? ... do please correct me or suggest me.

  • Difference between account based and cost based in co-pa

    hi friends,
    what is main deffirencebetween account based and cost based in co-pa. what scenerio we use account based and what scenerio we use cost based.
    Thanking u
    suneel.

    Hi,
    It all depends on the OPerating oncern which you are going to use for the CO-PA implementaion.
    For a account based Operating concern you can define accopund based copa.
    For a Cost Based Operating concdern you will have tp define account based Copa.
    You can create account based Copa on cost based operating concern and vice versa.
    In most of the FI implemntaion is done before BW inplemetation and therefore Operating concerns are already defined by the FI people.
    Thanks

  • COPA extractor : account based vs cost based

    Hello
    Can you please give me an example of typical extractor output for account based and cost based models.
    Wha are the difference between different model types?  Please answer with your own words rather then with copy-paste.
    Is it the same principle like account based and key figure based in planning?

  • Costing Based And Account based COPA - Need Assistance

    Hello All,
    In our project, with no other option we are planning to implement both costing based and account based COPA. I have been told that it is not recommended by SAP because for every entry there will two line items, one in cost based and another in account based (Correct me if I am wrong). But I could not understand why it is creating 2 line items in COPA. - Please help to understand this concept with an Example.
    Thanks

    Hi
    Costing based and account based COPA serve the same purpose...   analyze profitability of the product ....
    Costing based COPA should always be preferred over account based COPA, as it provides greater flexibility, some extra features, some extra planning mechanism and faster reports
    Following  are the point of differences between Costing based vs. Account based copa (ABC)
    1. Account based copa uses transaction tables (COEP, BSEG) and hence affects performance of CO transactions.CBC takes values from CE1XXXX to CE4XXXX tables. XXXX means Operating Concern name.
    2. Estimated / Statistical values not possible in ABC, say, calculating frieght upon invoice on a thumb rule basis to have better view of profitability per customer.. no valuation strategy in Accounts based COPA..
    3. Reports based on line items not possible in ABC.. possible in CBC.
    4 Actual Top Down distribution only available in CBC not in ABC .
    5. Revaluation of actual data to plan data is not available in ABC
    6. No key figure schemes are available in ABC
    7. In ABC, settlement cost elements are used to settle values to prof segments unlike value fields in CBC
    8. Production variance / COGS accounts shud be defined as cost element in ABC.
    System creates a document for each type of COPA as it stores values in different tables and what you can do with this data also differs like you can do TOP down in Costing Based Copa..
    Hence, you will have two COPA documents always......................
    Fot further clarifications .. please revert back..

  • Activating Account based Copa in the existing Cost-based COPA

    Hi Sap CO gurus!
    Please advise me for the following issue.
    Presently, My client using Cost-based COPA for segment wise reporting.( Already activated).
    Now they wanted the reports in Account Based. Is it possible to activate the Account based now? Will the system allow us to activate or not?
    If yes, What will be the implications? I want to know the pros and cons for that.
    If not, How Can I edit the COPA settings( Operating concern)? Or shall I delete the Operating concern and create one new one?
    Can you please explain the impact of each situation?
    Thanks a lot in advance

    Hi Joe
    You can deactivate Account Based COPA, but you will have to do a thorough testing so that you are aware of the issues that can crop up
    The IMG Menu is SPRO > Controlling > Prof Analysis
    You will have to do a testing of how the open sales orders would behave... The open sales orders mean Sales Orders where PGI has been done, but billing is pending AS WELL AS Sales orders which are just created, but no Logistics movement (PGI) has taken place... You will have to do testing on both types of sales orders
      - When you do PGI after deactivating the account based COPA, you may face error. Because, COGS GL account is a cost element in Account based COPA, where as in Costing based COPA, it is usually not a Cost Element
      - Also do a billing from an open sales order and see if you get any error there...
    Similar issue can arise during variance settlement also, because the variance account is not a cost ele in Costing Based COPA.
    Test out the above scenarios and do share your experiences

  • Costing based and account based

    HI All
    Kindly let me know difference between costing based copa and accounting based copa with examples
    Thanks & Regards

    Two forms of Profitability Analysis are supported: costing-based and account-based.  
    Costing-based Profitability Analysis is the form of profitability analysis that groups
        costs and revenues according to value fields and costing-based valuation approaches,
        both of which you can define yourself. It guarantees you access at all times to
        a complete, short-term profitability report.
    Account-based Profitability Analysis is a form of profitability analysis organized in
        accounts and using an account-based valuation approach. The distinguishing
        characteristic of this form is its use of cost and revenue elements. It provides you with
        a profitability report that is permanently reconciled with financial accounting.
    You can also use both of these types of CO-PA simultaneously.
    (courtesy: help.sap.com)
    It is strongly recommended, however, that you do not activate both types of CO-PA. The
    major reason being is that you will have significant table size impacts. You must be careful
    with account based CO-PA as this creates additional line items in the existing CO tables of
    COEP (actual), COEJ (plan), COSP & COSS (summary records). Hence if you want to do any
    cost center reporting, say, from any of these existing tables you will run the risk that
    performance will be degraded by these additional and unnecessary records. 
    The only advantage of account based over costing based CO-PA is it's ability to
    automatically reconcile back to FI, in much the same manner as you would reconcile
    cost center accounting back to FI. However you don't have the flexibility in account
    based CO-PA to perform valuations using product cost estimates etc. as you do in
    costing based CO-PA. If the reason you were advised to turn on account based CO-PA
    as well as costing based was to facilitate reconciliation, it is suggested that you look
    at alternatives that won't have the same negative impacts that turning on account
    based would have. In addition to the serious table space issues, it is not that easy to
    turn on and off account based at will (especially in production).
    Instead what you should look at doing is creating a series of reports that enable you to
    reconcile costing based CO-PA back to CCA/PCA and FI, if this is required. The complexity
    of the costing based functionality you have used will determine the complexity of the
    reports that will be needed to reconcile back, but it can be done without turning on
    account based CO-PA.

  • Account Based Vs Cost Based COPA - Char Derivation

    We're trying to implement both Cost based and Account based COPA at a client here.
    I have some derivation rules maintained in KEDR.
    When I'm trying to post a document in FI, the cost based COPA document is being created with the Characteristics populated correctly according to the derivation rules. However, in Account based COPA the characteristics are NOT getting derived.
    Can some tell me if there could be something I've missed?
    Thanks

  • PA - Costing-Based and Account-Based

    Hi All,

    Hi,
    Costing-Based Profitability Analysis
    This type of Profitability Analysis is primarily designed to let you analyze profit quickly for the purpose of sales management. Its main features are, firstly, the use of value fields to group cost and revenue elements, and, secondly, automatic calculation of anticipated or accrual data (valuation). The advantage of this method is that data is always up‑to‑date and therefore provides an effective instrument for controlling sales.
    Account-Based Profitability Analysis
    This type of Profitability Analysis enables you to reconcile cost and financial accounting at any time using accounts. In contrast to costing‑based Profitability Analysis, this type uses cost and revenue elements, which gives you a unified structure for all of accounting.
    The system posts all revenues and costs to both Financial Accounting and Profitability Analysis at the same time and using the same valuation method. This means that the cost of sales is posted to Profitability Analysis at the point of goods issue.

    Eli

  • The difference between 'Pigment Based' and 'Dye Based' color inks?

    What is the difference between 'Pigment Based' color inks (as used in the HP OfficeJet 8500 series) and 'Dye Based' color inks (as used in the HP OfficeJet 7500 printer)?
    Thanks;
    Mark S

    Pigment based inks have small color particles suspended in a carrier (like paint).  Dye based inks have colorant disolved in the carrier (like water colors).  Pigment based inks generally have better lightfastness, dye based inks are generally better for photo quality on glossy media.  The following Google search has many pages with useful information.
