Exchange Rate in Profitability Analysis Document

How is the exchange rate populated in profitability analysis document?
We have couple of scenarios:
Scenario 1: Credit memo request created without any reference and credit memo is created successfully. Exchange rate populated in the profitability analysis document is the exchange rate which applicable to current date.
Scenario 2: Credit memo request created with reference to customer invoice document and credit memo is created successfully. Exchange rate populated in the profitability analysis document is the exchange rate which applicable to the past date. We dont know how the system picked the exchange rate which does not applicable to the current date.
Any poiniters to this issue?

HI,
try SAPNET note 429517.
Best regards, Christian

Characteristic Derivation in Profitability Analysis

Dear Experts,
I am finding it bit difficult to understand the concept fully when it comes to the Characteristic Derivation in Profitability Analysis.
I had gone through the various SAP explanations of MOVE, LOOK UP, ENHANCEMENT, DERIVATION RULEu2026. And now I am having rough understanding of all of it. But I am finding it difficult to understand on how these various steps or rule impact the COPA output. In other words if someone can explain the usage of all the MOVE, LOOK UP, ENHANCEMENT, DERIVATION RULE steps with an example?
Thanks in advance
Paul

Hello Paul,
Its purely clients decision/requirements which determine whether derivation is required or not. But in all COPA implemenation you need at least couple of derivations.
I will explain a simple scenario for Table Look up. Suppose you are settling production orders linked to a sales order ( Make to order scenario).
When the production order settles variances to COPA, system will not transfer Customer ( sold to party) characteristics.
But you can tweak the system through a small derivation rule to bring the customer from sales order and pass it to COPA when production order is settled.
For table look up first you have to identify the table, here our reference is sales order (VBAP-VBELN) and the required field is sold to party (VBAP-KUNNR), both are in VBAK
In the source field for table look up
VBAP- VBELN = CO-PA- KAUFN ( means if sales order number from VBAP table is same as the COPA sales order number)
VBAK-KUNNR= CO-PA-KDNR ( then pull the customer number associated with that sales order and populate the COPA customer field)
Please carefully go through SAP help for derivation, it is clearly explained with simple examples

Costs of the product calculation lack in the profitability analysis

Hello there,
A group of students and I are currently working on a SAP project which is about to implement a full cost accounting in the SAP system (ERP). At first we used a case study reading (Friedl,Hilz,Pedell), some important components for calculating the products like u201Ccosting sheetu201D, u201Ccost component structureu201D and u201Ccosting variantu201D do exist already.
For our project we had to insert an additional primary cost center. For that reason we also added new components (the above given ones). After that the costs for our products could be calculated in the right way. We also booked supplies and stated the quantity of sales. Our problem is that the Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) does not show any costs of our cost centers (material input, manufacturing costs, overhead costs) only the earnings. We did not add any u201Cattributesu201D, u201Cderivation rulesu201D or u201Cvalue fieldsu201D but fulfilled all requirements in the Customizing menu (u201CAssign costing key to productu201D, u201CAssign costing key to productu201D, u201CAssign value fields for cost component structureu201D).
The first time when we used the case study reading and therefore another company code everything worked fine. We think that the problem might be that the costing key is not attached to the products.
Thank you for any help and suggestions,
Kind regards!

In the same area as where you assign the costing key to the product, there is also an entry where you need to define the costing key. You don'tr mention that you have done that.
In the user menu for Profitability Analysis, there are also a lot of tcodes that will help you investigate the flows of values and derivation of characteristics. They are very helpful in most cases.

Batch split posting to Profitability Analysis

Hi All,
I am doing a batch split and when i create the invoice, i am getting two line items (corresponding to two batches with appropriate values). But there is only a single profitability analysis document being created for this, with the total values from both the batches. Say, i have split into two batches 2000 and 1000, then when i check the profitability doc. the batch number is showing as 2000 with the total quantity in 2000 and 1000 batches. Is this the way the standard is or is there any customizing that needs to be done to rectify this and create two Profitability analysis docs. for each batch that was created?
Thanks in advance.

Has the batch been created as a characteristic and included into your PSG characterisics (KEQ3)?
Cheers.

50 Fixed CO-PA Profitability Analysis Elements

We are in the blueprint stage of a new SAP implementation using the Life Sciences express solution. Our consultants advised us that there are 50 SAP fixed characteristics in CO-PA for Profitablity Analysis and we have the ability to add up to 50 non-fixed characteristics. The list of the 50 fixed characteristics that our consulting team provided to us appeared very strange. Many of them appear to related to the airline industry. For example:
KMATYP - Aircraft type
KMDEST - Desitnation
KMFLTN - Flight number
KMFLTY - Flight type
KMIATA - IATA season
KMOPDY - Day of operation
KMORIG - Departure location
KMLEGS - Route segment
After questioning the provided list, we have been assured that we have been provided is the correct list of 50 fixed characteristics for all SAP implementations. We are looking for validation that these value are indeed part of the correct list. If not, we would greatly appreciate receiving the correct full list.
Thank you,
Carrie

Hi Carrie,
I vaguely remember that CO-PA (Profitability Analysis) module was initially developed/used for Airline industry to analyze the contribution margins. I'm not 100% sure on this, think i read it somewhere. SAP has provided these characteristics and derivation rules (logic to derive the characteristic for a transaction) by default. In my experience, i have always seen clients using at least 10-20 custom fields in CO-PA, since these are client specific we need to create additional derivation rules (either table lookup/Move/Derivation rules/Enhancements). Fields from Material master and customer master tables are commonly used for analysis in CO-PA.

Creating Profitability Analysis Reports????

Hello Everyone!
I am trying to learn creation of reports in CO-PA. So far I tried creating some simple reports. I have some questions about the same. Maybe someone can help me if I tell exactly what I am doing:
1. Accounting -> Controlling -> Profitability Analysis -> Environment -> Set Operating Concern (TC: KEBC)
2. Create a report in with TC KE31,
Accounting -> Controlling -> Profitability Analysis -> Information System -> Define report
3. Took the option with basic report, included some characteristics, keyfigure(selected one key figure), variables(some entered at the execution time), output type(classis drilldown).
4. I am getting the output as a drilldown. I wanted all the selected characteristics as colums rather than drilldown in my final report. How do I make all the characteristics as columns? Ex: 5 columns containing customer, quantity of sales, address, product
Thanks in advance for your help!
Swapna

Hey Nisha,
Thanks a lot for your response. I tried creating a report like you said. But the problem is that I wanted columns with Example (sorry about the format, this was the best I could do without uploading an excel sheet):
Customer,           Material,     Quantity sold,    Total Revenue
XYZ Company,    Computer,   10pieces,           $500
But my output was:
                      Customer,       Material
Quatity Sold    10 EA                 10EA
Total Revenue   $ 500                 $500
I am not seeing the customer name and material instead I am seeing it as a matrix with values for the rows. And when I create a form with one axis, outout is coming out as a drilldown. Hope my explanation makes sense. Can anyone help me with this situation?
Thanks,
Swapna

Profitability Analysis document

Dear All,
At the time reversal of Sales delivery system is not generating Profitability analyses document.
Scenario is like this
At the time of delivery to customer the standard price is 10, but at the time of reversing the delivery the Standard price is 12.the difference 2 system is posting to variance G/L Account.
For variance cost element we activated the PA Segment posting in OKB9.
but for variances system is creating only controlling document, it is not creating Profitability analysis document.
pls help me, issue is urgent.
Advance
Message was edited by: Nalluri Surendra

which CO document does the system creates : CCA document ?
on which cost centre ? PCA document ?
What is the CE category of the CE used for posting the variance ?

Implemented CO-PA (Profitability Analysis)

I would like to know if anyone has implemented Controlling - Profitability Analysis for a IS-Uitilities customer? I have some specific questions on this topic and would appreciate if someone could answer them.
Raj

Hi Ivor
Re: Implementation: ISU Biling COPA Integration
Excuse me Ivor Martin for jumping on the bandwagon, I am in the process of implementing ISU Biling COPA Integration. I do have the cookbook but it does not clarify certain things i would like you to help me with as follows:
1.Operating concern
I am busy widentifying characteristics to use from Billing document. My question is should I set up Opconcern as in pure COPA,i.e working from reporting structure & subsequent derivation of e.g profit center?
I would like to be certain about this. Please advice me also with any other information you dem relevant.
2.I would also like to know about the pros and cons of transferring updates if that is ok with you.
Thanks in advance.

Order value fields by field label in the profitability analysis document

Hello,
I am displaying a profitability analysis document and I want to order the value fields by their technical name (VV001, VV002, VV003...) instead of in alphabetical order (the system orders them by the field label).
Is it possible?
Thank you very much
Bea

Hello,
Check in KE4M whether sd condition type FKLMG is mapped corresponding value field in COPA.As you are getting the value for other company codes, this setting should be there.
You can also try checking simulation of billing document transfer through KE4ST. Check the details analysis
thanks

Field catalog in Profitability Analysis

Hi,
In profitability analysis, if we want to use a particular characteristic or value field, then they should be maintained in field catalog.
Could anyone please explain me where we will define this field catalog.
Thanks
Chandra

You need to create the Characteristics and/or Value Fields using transaciton KEA5 / KEA6
Once this is done, assign these to the Operating Concern using transaction KEA0
In this transaction, enter the Operating Concern you need to modify, and then enter the Data Structure in the Data Structure tab. Assign the Characteristics / VFs in this screen (click on the respective tab to access the assignment). Once done, remember to generate the Operating Concern.
If you exit the maintenance screen on saving, the system normally prompts you to Generate the Op Co. Once this is generated, you can use these in your config./ analysis.
Cheers.

Project wise profitability analysis

Profitability Analysis not generated in Contract billing Document

I have created the Billing document against the contract order but the Profitability Analysis is not getting generated. But any sale order related billing document is created; system automatically creates the Profitability Analysis.
Can you tell me where the problem is or have I missed any steps?
Regards,
Devendra

1) For a service material (DIEN), We are creating an Sales Order (VA01) and doing a order based billing (VF01). In the Sales Order we are giving the plant (no shipping point and storage location as it is a DIEN material).
Once we do the billing we are able to see the Profitability Analysis document.
2) Now we are using the same material we are creating a Contract (VA41) for a period of one year and doing a monthly billing. In this case we are using VF04 for doing the bills that are due.
We are getting two results in this:
a) If we give a Plant in the contract, the Profitability Analysis document is not getting generated at the time of billing.
b) If we do not give any plant, the Profitability Analysis document is getting generated at the time of billing.
Please note that we are using the same material, same pricing procedure in both the above cases 1) and 2). Only difference is that the source documents are different i.e., one is Sales Order and the other one is Contract.
In our copa valuation we have assigned the conditions to value field, no derivation rule assigned.
Regards
Devendra
