Dear kishore
Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) enables you to evaluate market segments, which can be classified according to products, customers, orders or any combination of these, or strategic business units, such as sales organizations or business areas, with respect to your company's profit or contribution margin.
The aim of the system is to provide your sales, marketing, product management and corporate planning departments with information to support internal accounting and decision-making.
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.
Thanks

  • How to Calculate Sales Analysis based on Item

    Hi All,
         I have a problem in calculating the Total Sales,GrosProfit%, TotalOpen,Paid for generating the SalesAnalysisReport based on Items.
    Please tell me how the above fields are calculated(Please post the formulae if u can).
    Thanks & Regards
    Guru.

    Hi.
    From what I know, the Total Sales and Gross Profit are taken from the Marketing Document. You can click the Gross Profit button to check and confirm.
    It will take the Base Price Origin as specified in the Document Setting as the default Cost to calculate Gross Profit. But you can always overwrite it in the Marketing Document.
    In SBO 2004, you need to run the Item Revaluation to ensure correct Last Evaluation Price for Items with Moving Average costing method. In SBO 2005, you have the option of using the Item Cost. There is no need to run Item Revaluation.
    Total Open should be the outstanding while the Total Paid is the amount paid and reconciled.

  • 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?

  • In labview,how to calculate the parameters of the bilinear model that simulates the generation electroencephalogram?

    Dear Sir or madam:
    I have collected a lot of electroencephalogram data, which looks like a continuous sine wave plus a noise signal. what i want to do now is to fit the data with the bilinear model as the attached jpg file. the problem is the parameters of the model are changing with the evolution of the signal. would someone like to tell me how to calculate the parameters in the bilinear model?
    thank you very much

    I can point you in the right direction, but probably not answer your question really well. If you have the pro or full distribution of LabVIEW, you can use the curve fitting VIs to match any set of data to a theoretical curve. The curve fitting Express VI may do all you need to do (use the nonlinear option). To get the signal evolution, break your data into pieces and process each. If you need to average a bit, you can use a sliding window of your data for each analysis, moving the window less than the window width for each analysis.
    There are a plethora of curve fitting techniques built into LabVIEW - matrix operations, linear and log linear fits, Levenberg-Marquardt methods, downhill simplex, etc. You will probably need to experiment a bit to get a stable
    algorithm for your case. Check your literature for ways other people have done this. There may be an easy, stable method out there.
    If you are unfamiliar with curve fitting techniques, or you do not have the pro or full versions of LabVIEW, I would recommend "Numercial Recipes in C" by Press et. al., published by Cambridge University Press. The chapter on Modeling of Data will get you going. The rest of the book will provide any background you need.
    This was a very general answer. If you need something more specific, let me know. Be aware that this type of problem usually requires some trial and error to get right. The answers should be tightly scrutinized before being believed.

  • Account Based Profitability Analysis

    Hi,
    I am mapping characteristic fields of account based profitability analysis. I have been given fields such as KMLAND to map into BI fields.My question is how do i map the key figures. What fields in account based profitability analysis are key figures, are they value fields? Do i need a list field names of value fields to map it into BI.Some one mentioned something about cost elements.
    Thanks
    TJ

    Hello Tee Jay,
    Cost Element is a key field in ECC. That means its char. in BW. What are the infoobjects that you have in your DSO or cube n BI.
    Do you have 0COSTELMNT or 0GL_ACCOUNT? If so, then you map Cost element field from SAP to one of the above char. in BW.
    By Revenue, do you mean a value field in R/3? If so, it will have to be mapped to key figure in BI.
    Hope that helps.

  • Profitability Analysis for Project and Project Team

    Hello Experts,
    Need your ideas and expertise to the below business case, could be simple or complicated, please provide some insight.
    the business case is like this. 2 specific project teams are available. there can be around 10 projects executed in a year. So in our PS we can have project team allocated to a project. workforce planning is done for the project for effective utilization, it is like 2 projects with 2 teams assigned. till now it is fine. the business calls for that 1 st team is assigned to another project only after closure of the assigned project.
    Let us assume P1, P2,...P10 are the projects in a year. Assume T1, T2 are the teams available. Initially T1 is assigned to P1, T2 is assigned to P2.
    Business confirms that T1 will be assigned to P3 only after completion of P1. This requirement is also straight. Assume that team T1 has executed 6 projects and team T2 has executed 4 projects.
    The requirement is profitability analysis at project level i.e at P1, P2, ...P10 which is also pretty straight. Business requirement is also to have profitability analysis against each team i.e for T1 and T2. it is like each team has a project lead and team assigned under him. based on the expenses and revenue booked against the team, there will be performance evaluation of the team.( assume that P1, P3, P5, P6, P8,P9 are the projects executed by team T1, we need to have revenue and expenses of the said projects to be mapped to team T1 as well), so we have profitability analysis at team level.
    Experts, require your advice on how to map the requirement. Is there any possibility to map projects to team rather assigning team to a project. please advice. provide some insight on how do we map the scenario.
    Regards,
    Murthy

    Hello Murthy,
    In SAP you carry out Month end closing activities. In order to carry out this activity, you post all period based data on the project. Subsequently data relevant for Profitability analysis can be determined for the given period and then this data can be settled to COPA.
    This data can be evaluated in the project information system or in Profitability analysis.
    You can check report KE30 for Profitability Analysis.
    Refer SAP help for more details

  • Calculate and analyse variances for PM orders

    Dear all,
    How the Costs and activity planning can be done for all PM orders and Calculate and analyse variances
    on periodical basis??
    Thanks and regards

    hi
    Activity price is calculated by planning for activity and cost center and when the workcenter relevant is specified in the work order.
    in normal scenario Variance calculation has little scope for plant maintenance

  • 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

  • TESTING AB PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS

    Hi all,
    We have configured account based profitability analysis. I was told that there was some data in table COEP available for testing. How do i go about testing this data in BI?
    Could some one give me step by step directions?
    We are working on BI 7.0 thus have DTP and Transformatins.
    Thanks

    refer this doc:

    you can also use the same solution once live for reconciliation...
    alternatively....
    if there are any account based PA report already developed in source system then use them to tie up records with BW...
    you can carry out data load and check your data load records against those in table (if they are not many)..

  • Update sales employee to profitability analysis automaticaly

    Dear All
    I have problem like this:
    an order was entered but had the wrong Sales Employee before billing. We made the change in the order header but it is not updated to profitability analysis segment of every item. How can I make this update automatically?
    Regards

    Hi
    You could try using re-alignments with that Sales order.  It will only correct it at PA segment level (ce4XXXX table) and not line item level (ce1xxxx table.  It will then reflect correctly in the reports.
    Hope this helps
    Kind regards
