COPA data source delivers incorrect values

Hello
We have one PL report in R3. I generated COPA data source and use it to extract data in BW. However, there is a difference between report in R3 and report in BW. Is it possible that COPA-generated data source does not bring correct values? How to check it and correct?
I am 100% sure that report on R3 and BW uses the same logic.

Hi Aleksanders,
Check some of the values using RSA3 tcode and check the difference between these values and the R/3 Report values...If there is a difference then datasource is not created properly...if it is matching then on bw side..load the data as of time and compare it to R/3 data.....definitly it helps you....

Copa data source (urgent urgent)

HI friends
M newly jioned in BI. in reports some fields are showing blanks. i cheked in BI side every thing ok. i cheked the in the source system in RSA3 data for that data source(copa data source) ter also same fields are missing.this is COPA extraction. i think main problem is DATA SOURCE is it corrcte ?. i need to check some wer else.plz m in confuse plz advise me.
Regards
siva

Hi
Usually, if the data is missing in COPA, then the next source will be veryfying SD data.
Say some of the condition types were created in SD module but those were not updated/mapped/configured in COPA, so obviously those values/fields will be missing in COPA and BI.
Hope this helps.

COPA data source - add a field

Hi Experts,
I got answer to the question that I asked for adding ship-to party to COPA data source and in operating concern.
Now, when I go to KEB0 and display datasource, it doesnt show my added field ship-to party as checked.
so, help me understanding
1) how can I apply the change in operating concern to datasource? or make field visible in extract structure
2) if i delete the datasource and re-create it, will my CE1XXXX, CE2XXXX, CE3XXXX, CE4XXXX are cleared or not?
3) I have active delta running on COPA datasource, what are the steps to ensure contnuity of this delta?
4) if i need to fill newly added field in the CE1XXXX, CE2XXXX, CE3XXXX, CE4XXXX tables (historical value for ship-to), how can I achieve this?
5) what steps I need to take care while transporting these changes to prod?
Thanks,
Purvang

HI,
Following steps will help you...
1) use "KEQ3" to activate "KUNWE" characteristics for Ship-to Party
2) Add the field in your data structure in tcode "KEA0".
3) Activate and generate the "Operating concern"
Please revert back if you still need help.

COPA data source does not allow delta - once more

Hello,
When I try to generate COPA data source (tran KEB0) the system already have "Generic delta" in delta method field.
I want to use timestamp instead of that. How I can switch to timestamp?
A

All COPA datasources are timestamp based (which is a generic delta method).
I do not think you have an option to change it (not that there is any need since it already is what you want ie timestamp based), the system automatically creates a timestamp based delta method (each delta extracting records upto 30 min back from the current extraction time). Do not worry about the 'generic delta method' appearing in your KEB0.

COPA data source does not allow delta

Hello,
I wanna generate new COPA data source. I did it but it doies not allow to establish delta.
Where I go to Simulate initialization of delta method and try to determinate time stamp the system tells me that "Function is not possible because data source is defined for generic delta"
How can I establish delta???

Aleksandrs, normally you only have to run a init load from BW. Then only delta packages.

PLIKZ field for COPA data source not there in Extract structure.

Hello all,
When I create a data source for COPA the PLIKZ field from the segment level is not maintained in the Extract structure and it is not replicated to BW also. But the other field GJHAR is maintained in the Extract structure which is also there in the segment level!!
Clarify me why it is not available in extract structure? Also we are in 4.7 version and 3, 5 in BW.
Points will be assigned!!!
Thanks
Ram

Hello Friends,
Could some one help me why the field PLIKZ is not available in the Extract structure when i create a COPA Data source?
Need ur suggestions urgently!!!

COPA data source data type changed for BUKRS

Hi Exp,
I've created one copa data source with cost based successfully in R/3 system. I've replicated that into BI system bu the problem is for characteristic BUKRS [Company code] the data type showing REF in BI which is non existance and hence i'm unable to activate this data source.
Coudl anyone plese help...........
Thanks & Regards,
Amarnath

Hi Ramesh,
Thanks for your reply. It is in internal format only. I changed it to external and selected ALPHA conversion also but it's of no use. I don't know why. Is it the error on BI side or R/3 side?
Thanks & Regards,

COPA Data Source: possible to enhance using exit?

Hi BI experts,
I got a question about if it is possible to enhance COPA data source by using user exit (just like the way to enahance other data sources in the business content).
The background:
I have to include several new fields in COPA data source. Since COPA data source is generated (not a data source from business content like LIS data sources).
My questions:
1) Is it the recommended way to enhance the existing COPA data source using exit?
2) or it would be better to delete the existing one and create a new one with the two additional fields?
3) any potential issue to be expected?
Your feedback and help is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Sally

Hi
1) Is it the recommended way to enhance the existing COPA data source using exit?
Yes, we can enhance COPA DS via User Exit, Provided the fields should be from other different tables which are not from Segment Tables.
2) or it would be better to delete the existing one and create a new one with the two additional fields?
If the fields are from Segment Tables, it is always better to delete the existing one and Recreate the same
3) any potential issue to be expected?
Appending/Enhancing fields are always bit difficult and my lead into errors in future, based on the critical functionality we use.. But I recommend DELETE THE DS AND RECREATE WITH COPA always.Hope it helps

How to enhance copa data source.

Hi,
I have to enhance copa data source 1_co_pa300beka_o01. Actually I have to add one field vstel from VBAP table to this data source.
Can you tell me full procedure about enhancing data source ?
It can not be done directly. I think i have to delete and re-create data source in R3 system.
For this i have to do all thing in KEB0 .
Am i right?
So please tell me full procedure to enhancing copa data source also tell me if i enhance copa data source , which type of problem can be come at BW side.
Thanks
Devesh Babu

I'm not sure if we can enhance CO-PA datasources. Even if you can enhance, whenever there are changes to the Operating concern in R/3 you would have to delete and re-create the datasource. While doing this you would have to re-do the appends again. DS 2lis_11_VAITM extracts data from VBAP. Check if the datasource already brings this field. Otherwise enhance it. In the CO-PA dataflow lookup the DSO which has VBAP data from the datasource and get the necessary field.
Other option is to ask functional folks to add the field to the CO-PA operating concern.

Copa data source

Hi experts,
I created one data source for copa
in rsa2 No errors
when I go to rsa3 it,s showing error msgs
It,s termanating when i check the log(in rsa3)
Msg is probelm calss is very important 1
incorrect field name for selection
How can i sol this error ?

Hi Shilpa,
Where exactly did you generate the DataSource?
You can do it in a couple of ways.
1. Through SBIW in R/3, through the meny tree.
2. Run Report RKEBW100 in SE38.
3. 1_CO_PA_<any name>
4. Select Create Radio Button.
5. Give the Operating Concern name
6. Select the Fields in the next screen.
7. Click on Info Catalogue and you are done.
In RSA3 check if there are any mandatory fields to which you have to pass values and then execute.

Tom.

How to edit copa data source or change delta method.Need t-code/procedure

Hi gurus,
I have a copa extractor in production.The copa extraction is costing based.
I need to get an extra field from CE1**** table. when i go to KEB0 and display , i see my required field under the chracteristics from segment table. It is unchecked.
I want to know the transaction where i can go and edit the datasource to check that field and bring that data in.
I tried going to T-code KEDV. But i couldnt figure out what to do there?
I also tried deleting and recreating the datasource, then i am able to check that field. The problem is earlier existing data source used to say,
Delta Method     Time Stamp Management in Profitability Analysis
now it says
Delta Method         Generic Delta.
how do i change the delta method from generic delta to Time Stamp Management in Profitbility Analysis. During creation in KEB0 it doesnt give any option to change.
and what exactly is the differnce between both delta methods?
plz post your inputs.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Ravi,
I would expect you are communicating to your users that you will need some downtime for you to change this. To add characteristics to COPA you actually have to first the delete the datasource in KEB0 then re-create the datasource. I would work with your CO-PA config team to get the T-Codes necessary to assign those objects to PA.
Please reference OSS note 392635 for further reference on your CO-PA timestamp question. This should answer your questions here.
Pls. assign pts if this helps.

Account Based COPA data source

Hi SAP experts,
Can anybody tell me for Account - based COPA, which module the Sal es and COGS data come from?
From SD or from FI? I understand that some data like freight and bonus etc come from FI. I know for costing - based copa, the sales and cogs data come from SD, how about account-based copa? Do we source sales and cogs data from FI instead of SD?
Thanks for your feedback
Nancy

Hi Nancy,
Looks like you are working on account based COPA.I'm new to COPA and looking for configuration steps in COPA.
1.Could you please explain me Account Based COPA configuration steps?
2.Could you please explain me Value flow(FI,MM,PP and SD postings) in Account Based COPA?
3.Do I needs to create cost elements in COPA?
Any help is appreciated...
Thanks,

When creating COPA data source, the Period/year become mandatory selection

hi friends,
I create a standard COPA datasource for account based COPA. however, when I use RSA3 to test load the data, I found that the financial period(PERIO) become a mandartory selection. this will cause that the initiall and delta load can only in a period.
so do anybody konw how to elimate this mandatory selection condition? where to configure it?
or I have to convice customer do the initial and delta load every year?
please advice, very very thanks!

hi Pravender,
thanks very much for your solution. I did check the table TKEBWF, and system does set PERIO as MANDATORY there, however, there are below two inconsistent for this note:546238.
1. my system PI package level is PI_BASIS 2005_1_700, which is higher than affected releases.
2. there is another account based COPA datasource which has already generated for another operating concern, which does not set 'Period' as mandatory.
so I suspect why other data souce do not do this change and still can make period as non-mandatory. is there any other place to configure?
thanks again!

All documnet numbers are not being pulled by COPA data source

Hi,
We have a COPA datasource(cost based) and its not pulling some of the document #'s. We have some enhancement code. We tried to debug these particular doc #'s in RSA3 and found that the records are getting dropped even before reaching our enhancement code but can not exactly find where/why they are getting dropped.
Any inputs?
Thanks,
Kim

Problem solved.
