COPA & PCA

Hi All,
We are having couple of issues with the explosion program in COPA/PCA...if someone can give me more details on how these explosions gets created or i know there are programs which pulls information for this packages and we can modify it...after modification..is there something Functional Conslnt needs to setup??
Any help will be greatly appricieted and rewarded..Thanks in advance
Desp:
1)Currently the Explosion Programs for PCA and COPA will not correctly explode the Special Pack if it can be sold in alternate Units of Measures (e.g., Eaches, Boxes, Cases, Pallets).  We need to have the programs modified so that it can correctly Explode all multi-branded products that can be sold in multiple Units of Measures
2)Currently COPA is not exploding Units but needs to as part of the Explosion program.  It may also not be exploding Kgs but needs to.  As well this may be affecting PCA and Essbase explosions
Posible Solution:
Modify the explosion programs for PCA and PA to correctly explode special packs that can be sold in alternate units of measure.  In addition the business requires that PA explode the quantities and Kgs.  Note that, to prevent explosion errors, products that are special pack have been set-up as regular products.  This is currently a work around.

This is a custom report so basically the work will be done by the ABAPers right?
i would appreciate if some one can tell me what my role in this would be, i dont
have a lot of knowledge of COPA
Thanks,
Zaid

  • Balance sheet values to COPA/PCA

    Hello all
    We need to allocate and take few Balance Sheet account values as well to COPA OR PCA for finer reporting, any pointers on this shall be very helpful?
    Thanks
    Balla

    Hi Balla,
    Can we understand the business requirement a bit more clearly. I'll put down the background as per my understanding.
    1. PCA - the requirement is to have the balance sheet at profit center wise - If you are using ECC6.0 all you need to do is set up document splitting functionality. Once this is done, all the documents (P/L and B/S) will have the profit center mandatorily and the balance sheet is possible at PC level. Of course you can imaging that with this PCA has become redundant.
    2. COPA - I do not understand why a balance sheet item will come to balance sheet should come to any profitablity analysis ever? As I'm analysing the profitability at any level i will not require the balance sheet item in any case unless you are trying to achieve something else with COPA. Do you want to recheck the requirement or can you please explain the exact business requirement?
    Best Regards

  • Difference between COPA-PCA

    HI Guru's,
    What are the major differences between COPA and PCA..
    regards
    JK

    Hi,
    this is a pure consulting issue and cannot be dealt within a few sentences.
    PCA and COPA can be used simultaneously.
    Please have a look on http:// help.sap.com --> ERP (english documentation) --> SAP ERP Central Component --> Financials --> Enterprise Controlling (EC) (for information regarding PCA) or follow the path Controlling (CO) --> Profitability Analysis (COPA) regarding information of COPA.
    For a brief comparison between COPA and PCA follow the path:
    Enterprise Controlling --> Profitcenter Accounting --> The Concept of Profit Center Accounting --> Role of Profit Center Accounting in the SAP System --> The Distinction Between Profit Center Accounting and Profitability Analysis (CO‑PA):
    Profitability Analysis (CO‑PA), like Profit Center Accounting, is another form of profitability accounting. However, it is incorporated in operative cost accounting. That means that the profitability segments in CO‑PA are accounting assignment objects and are thus directly integrated in the flow of data in cost accounting.
    In contrast to EC-PCA, where profits are found for areas of responsibility within the company, CO-PA lets you analyze the profitability of different segments of your operative business -- defined according to products, customers, orders, or any combinations or groups of these -- or organizational units, such as company codes or business areas. The aim of CO-PA is to provide the accounting department and decision-makers in sales, marketing, product management and corporate planning with information about the market.
    You can define the master data and basic structures in CO‑PA flexibly to meet your company’s specific requirements. By choosing just the objects for evaluation (characteristics) and key figures you require, you can create a company‑specific multidimensional structure for analysis.
    Unlike EC‑PCA, CO‑PA lets you use an account‑based or a costing‑based approach. In the costing‑based approach, you can define your own value fields for analysis. In account‑based CO‑PA, the values are represented in accounts.
    EC‑PCA and CO‑PA should not be regarded as alternative components. On the contrary, they complement one another and jointly provide you with a flexible and comprehensive profitability accounting tool, allowing you both a market‑oriented viewpoint as well as a responsibility‑ and person‑oriented one.

    go check table GLPCT field RUNIT,  and table T006. 
    my ABAPer friend showed me the steps: sm30-> " * T006* ", then do F4, you will find all the views for table T006, choose one and click " maintain", then you can add some measurement you want and save the new values.

  • Period Lock in COPA

    Hello friends
    Hope all is well.
    Can anyone please clarify me whether there is a similar transaction in COPA & PCA, like OB52(FI), OKP1(CO) so that we can lock users from posting to previous periods (in COPA & PCA).
    I can't think of any.. can anyone help please..?
    Thanks in advance

    We faced this problem yesterday in our client's system.
    1. In OB52, all transactions in FI was locked for December 2006.
    2. In OKP1, all transactions in CO is locked for December 2006.
    3. In MMPV, MM period is locked with previous period posting not allowed. Current period is January 2007.
    But, still one credit memo against one return order got posted in costing based PA. The return delivery for the same is posted in January 2007. So, no issue in MM and FI posting. But, only COGS got posted (For delivery) at the time of billing (Billing date was 28th December 2006).
    All reported figures changed. What is the way out. There should be a lock in PA.
    As of now, we can post to PA in any previous period.
    Is there any way out???

  • Purpose of KEAT and KEAW reports

    Can someone please explain the purpose of KEAT and KEAW reports in COPA?
    I understand that KEAT is used for reconciling COPA with SD and FI and KEAW is for reconciling CO with PS and Sales Orders, CO with COPA and CO with FI.
    I would like to know in detail what exactly is compared for the two reports..
    Are these reports built for Account based or Costing based COPA or both?
    Edited by: Pete on Apr 1, 2010 9:34 PM

    Hi,
    KEAT is meant to detect customizing errors for single billing documents by checking the reconciliation between SD, COPA, PCA and FI.   The KEAT report checks  billing documents and verifies that these have been posted to FI ,COPA and PCA.
    If a value has been billed, the system reads the billing document and from the SD condition type finds what GL Accounts should be posted to.
    KEAW is meant to check the customizing errors for orders

  • How to see all billing types in use at present ?

    Gurus,
    My comp is moving for an upgrade. How can I see the list of all billing types that are being used by the company ?
    The navigation "IMG>sales and distribution>billing>billing documents>define billing types>define billing types"  shows me all the regular billing types what SAP got. How can I know as to what only are in practice ?
    I am sorry if this question sounds silly or weird.... am kind of new
    Please help. Thanks

    Getting a list of billing types is a small step in understanding what is 'in the system' in preparing for an upgrade. It's more important to understand the chain of documents - potentially starting from inquiry, all the way through the accounting document for a debit/credit note.
    It's the chains that are important for the upgrade - this is for two reasons.
    1. You don't test a billing document on its own.
    2. Upgrade issues (95% of the time) are due to custom code - and the copy routines are often custom
    What I have done in the past is start with the initial documents in the chains - and work through the chains forward to build up the scenarios, You can map these out in a flowchart - of just use Excel.
    For example e.g
    Sales Order ==> Delivery type ==> Billing doc==> FI Doc
    ZOR                        LF                        F2                  RV
    This doesn't take that long - and gives a very good idea of what the real scenarios are. You will generally not get a complete answer from any use - or from the pre-existing documentation.
    Depending on you controlling modules, you can also add the different accounting doc (CO, COPA, PCA, Special Ledger)
    You can use SE16 as other replies have mentioned. Use VBAK (sales docs) , VBFA (docunent flow), VBRK (billing docs)

  • Standard financial planning applications in BW-BPS

    Dear all,
    I'd like to use standard financial planning applications in my BW 3.5 or 7.0 system. In SEM these were delivered for CCA, COPA, PCA etc.
    From OSS I understood these Business Content applications are only availble in the SEM Add on. 
    Some questions regarding this:               
    1. Do I need extra licence for this Add-on and what about costs? 
    2. How will this work for Integrated Planning in the future?                    
    And another thing:
    3. Why is program UPB_APPL_IMPORT not available in BW?                   
    Thanks in advance for your appreciated answers!
    Kind regards, Harjan

    Hello Harjan,
    here are some answers. Please search the forum for more information, since the topic has been discussed several times already.
    1) Yes. SEM is part of mySAP ERP and requires a different license (unless you have a mySAP Business Suite license).
    2) BI IP is fully integrated with BI. Planning applications will be delivered as regular BI Content just like any other content.
    3) The applications are part of SEM. Therefore the program is also included in SEM.

  • Actual Costing - Multi Level

    Hi,
    Request the team to revert , to perform the variance (Price & Usage) allocation to the multi level cost roll up from the inter-mediate stage to the Finished Goods stage, need to know the method to perform the same.
    Thanx
    Ganesh

    Hi,
    The variances can be transferred to COPA /PCA.The variances should not be carried forward to the finished goods.[ you should not manually post the variances to the finished goods a/c].
    If you use COPA,you should use a transfer structure [ PA structure] to settle the variances-this structure can be maintained in order type etc.in the M/data.
    If you assign all the org-units to PCA,the variances can be got from the reports.
    Hope this helps.

  • COPA and PCA reports at Operating Conern level

    Hi,
    As I know COPA reports lie on Operating conern level, how about PCA report? is it at Operating concern or controlling area level?
    Thanks a lot!
    Cheers,
    Helen

    Hi,
    As far as i know COPA is config at a operating concern level but the reporting can be done at company code or even a product or customer of a company code.
    PCA is more at a controlling area level.

  • PCA Integration with COPA

    Hi Gurus,
    I need some document on PCA Integratiion with COPA. 
    This is urgent.
    Thanks in advance
    Surya

    There is no PCA integration with COPA. Both PCA and COPA are basically receivers and do not pass on data to other modules.
    Hence, any assessment / distributions you do in PCA is not reflected in COPA and similarly any top down distributions you do in COPA will not be reflected in PCA.
    Both PCA and COPA receive data from the source module simulatneously. e.g. if you are doing an assessment of CC balances to COPA, it updates PCA and COPA simultaneously.

  • COPA or PCA

    Hi Gurus,
    We have one division Trading, they are doing only buying and incurring customs duty, traportation expenses and  put  mark up price and they are selling.
    They need to get profit report on customer wise.
    Let me know, it can be from COPA or Profit center accounting.
    If it is COPA, Please help me how we can map and what are the master data need.
    Kindly advise.
    Thanks and regards.
    Sriram.

    Hi Dear,
    Only recommendation for you to use COPA only.
    If you want profitability report for below company code level then PCA is used but Profit center can not altered or added as when it is required whereas in COPA customer will not be required to be added in COPA master because customer will keep on increasing. In COPA you will be able to track different segments.
    PCA Functionality is not suitable solution for your requirement.
    Note In PCA you can draw out both P & L and Balance Sheet where in COPA only Income-expense statements can be derived.

  • Difference in Price per unit and Standard cost between COPA and PCA

    Hi
    I did a comparison between COPA and PCA for January. For few products,there is a difference in the Standard cost and PPU between the two reports(product wise). What might possibly be the reason for the difference. And how to analyze the root cause of this difference.
    Thanks
    Jaswanth

    Hi
    By PPU - Do you mean PUP i.e. Per Unit Price of Material Ledger??
    If yes, then you are not comparing apple to apple.. Std cost is bound to be diff than actual cost

  • FI , PCA, COPA Corrections

    Friends,
    Due to oversight, one of our SD condition types relating to standard production cost was not revalidated for the FY 2007 (the condition table for that condition type was not maintained for the FY 2007). Further, from 01-Jan-2007 to 12-Jan-2007, sales orders and other subsequent documents (delivery orders, goods issue, billing documents and accounting documents) were created (around 11,000 billing documents have been created). Fortunately, the postings to the customer a/c were not affected.
    We now want to correct the FI, COPA and PCA documents that were posted during the period. Please advice on how best to make the correction postings in all 3 areas viz. FI, COPA and PCA.
    Due to the sheer number of documents, reversal of the erroneous documents is ruled out. Also, we want to correct the postings by the month-end for reporting purpose.
    Please advice on how best to do the same.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sameer S. Gupte
    Cell: 91 9323274801

    I don't fully understand your error. If all three GL, COPA and PCA are incorrect then in that case I would make a correcting entry in GL that flows to PCA and COPA. You'll need a GL account that is set up to allow direct postings to PA. The config will have to be in place to pass that account to the proper COPA value fields.
    You also can make direct postings to PCA 9KE0 - Enter  and COPA KE21N - Create Line Items . This alows you to go in and make any entries deemed appropriate. This would be used to snch them up with GL.
    pls assign points as a way to say thanks.
