PA - Costing-Based and Account-Based

Hi All,
Please tell me what is Costing based PA and Account-based PA.
Thanks
Vinu

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

Differences between Costing based COPA and Account based COPA

Hi,
I wanted to know the main differences between Costing based COPA and Account based COPA?
For which scenarios account based COPA used and for which scenarios costing based copa used.
please guide me
sateesh

HI
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

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
PM

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..

Sarada

Costing based and account based

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

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.

There are two CDC methods - Source based CDC and Target based CDC which one

There are two CDC methods - Source based CDC and Target based CDC, which one is better performancewise. in data services.
If there is any document available which compares both and provides any info on performance etc, will be helpful.
thank you for the helpful info.

LIke Suneer mentioned CDC is for better performance.
Following link would be helpful.

Difference between webservices model and adaptive webservices model

hi
Can any one explain me regarding Difference between webservices model and adaptive webservices model.
Thanks

Hi,
In old WS Model, ithere was no concept of logical destinations.
There if you are using a WSDL located on a server and if the location of the WSDL
changes, your application won't run. The deployed application using the WS Model will have trouble finding
the WSDL. As a result you'll have to again import the
model. Moreover old WS Model does not have re-import functionality.
But incase of AWS Model, you can desine logical destinations and even if the location of the WSDL changes, all you have to do is change the new url in the Visual Admin and not import the model again.
You can visit the following link for more details:

Can we frame a VO which is a combination of EO based VO and SQL based VO?

Is it possible to create a VO which is a combination of EO based VO and SQL based VO? Is the resultant VO capable of inserting data in the database?

Fortunately, this is such a common use case that it's documented how to do this:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26098_01/web.1112/e16182/bcquerying.htm#CEGEGHFB
and
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26098_01/web.1112/e16182/bcquerying.htm#CHDHBDDE
are the two sections you need to read.
You don't need a "combination" VO, and in both cases, the base EO of the VO is updatable/insertable
Note: This is why the best course is to state your use case (problem) - not failed or attempted solutions - when posting questions on OTN.
