If no COPA then no need of configuring Operating Concern

Hi All,
Pls tell me if I am not implementing COPA then I don't have to configure Operating Concern. Pls also tell me the importance of Operating Concern with Example and how to configure it. Points will be rewarded.
Thanks & Regards,
JC

Hi JC
If you are not using PA then no you do not need to configure the Operating Concern.
The OpConcern is the organizational unit that holds COPA data, the overall structure being:
Opertating Concern(CO-PA)
               ¦
...............¦
Controlling Area (CO-OM)
               ¦
...............¦
   Company Code (FI)
               ¦
...............¦
       Valuation Area/Plant
You define an operating concern in customizing, t-code KEA0. Go to SPRO -> IMG -> Controlling -> Profitability Analysis -> Structures -> Define Operating Concern. You will find the supporting documentation
here also.
I copied a brief part of the IMG documentation below in case you dont have access:
=============================================================================
In this section, you create an operating concern.
In order to use Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), you have to define operating concerns. An operating concern is an organizational unit in Financials. The structure of an operating concern is determined by analysis criteria (characteristics) and the values to be evaluated (value fields).
In a first step, you have to define the characteristics for your operating concerns. You define characteristics in the Customizing activity Maintain characteristics. For costing-based Profitability Analysis, you also need to define value fields. You do this using the activity Maintain value fields. These characteristics and value fields can be used in several operating concerns. Their definition applies to all clients.
After this, you have to define the structure of your operating concern in the activity Maintain operating concern. You do this by selecting the desired characteristics and adding them to the data structures of your operating concern. If costing-based Profitability Analysis is active, you also need to select and add the required value fields. The structure of an operating concern is valid in all clients.
In the step "Maintain operating concern", you also specify the attributes of your operating concern (fiscal year variant, currencies). By maintaining the attributes, you make an operating concern "known" in the current client. The attributes are client-specific.
==============================================================================
Hope this helps.

  • Company code and operating concern currency in COPA

    Dear experts,
    I have one controlling area and one operating concern for indian and foreign entitiy with INR as currency for controlling area and one operating concern.
    but outside india i have sgd as company code currency.
    So i ticked company code currency in operating concern.so while posting revenue in billing .system store in company code as well as operating concern currency.
    But all my expenses for outside india entity will store(cost center) in company code currency 'SGD' and controlling area currency 'INR'.
    while doing copa assesssment cycle- whether system will store data in copa table in SGD and INR or only INR as operating concern currency.
    i need report on operating concern currency as well as company code currency.
    regards
    Raman Rana

    Hi,
       If you have ticked 'company code ccy' in KEA0 then all COPA postings (including COPA assessments) will happen in both currencies i.e. company code ccy and operating concern ccy.

  • I need to configure Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari, but I have a lot of troubles to do it.I have OX S yosemite, I unistalled adobe acrobat, I closed safary and I installed the new version of adobe acrobat.

    Dear everyone
    I need to configure Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari, but I have a lot of troubles to do it.
    I read a european commission document explaining that
    http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/support/sep_usermanual.pdf
    If Safari does not display pdf forms in the browser window, uninstall all older versions of Adobe Reader and download the most recent one. First close Safari and then install Reader. Launch Safari and you ought to be able to open the pdf files inside the Safari window. If you install Adobe Reader 10.1.x without first closing Safari, Safari will not display the pdf file inside its browser window until it is re-launched. For further help, please see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-safari-plug-acrobat-x.html
    I have OX S yosemite, I unistalled adobe acrobat, I closed safary and I installed the new version of adobe acrobat
    but when I open a web page that I need to allow me to display and modify PDF files it is not working.
    I checked the following web page
    Troubleshoot Safari plug-in | Acrobat X, Reader X
    that is recommending the following:
    The AdobePDFViewer plug-in is used to display PDF files in Safari using Acrobat and Reader.
    This plug-in is installed as part of the Acrobat X or Reader X installation. The location of this plug-in is:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
    but after the new installation with this folder is completely empty and I am still
    unable to open these pdf.
    Does anybody knows anything else I can do?
    Best regards

    5 hours to do 6 GB of transfer is NOT normal, even for USB 2.0 so there's something wrong here. I'd say cancel it, wipe the drive and then test the integrity of the drive. Do some file transfers over to and see if it's behaving normally. It could be a bad USB cable, it could be a bad drive or bad enclosure. As it's new, I suspect you haven't really put it through its paces yet and it's important to do that first before commissioning it to serve as your "reliable backup."

  • Need to configure output type for adobe form

    Hello All,
    I need to configure output type for Adobe Form thru NACE. What would be print program and how do I call my form from that program? and, what would be the FORM routine for that form in NACE?
    I'm little confused, Pls I need your help.
    Thanks in advance,
    Chandra

    Hi,
    Just before few weeks we did this task.
    Say for example if you want to print PO details through ADOBE form instead of normal sapscript layout or standard MEDRUCK, you can follow the following steps.
    1. Design the form in SFP tcode, by passing the necessary inputs through form interface.
    2. Then use tcode tcode NACE and select EF as application and click output types button on the          application tool bar. Select NEU output type and double click processing routines on left side.
    3. Then, in the right side of the screen we can see the calling program and the form (may be sapscript or smartform) whatever used.
    4. For form names we have two options in NACE tcode.
    One is Form and the otherone is PDF/Smartform Form. If you are using adobe form give your form name under PDF/Smartform and also select PDF under the type option in the same screen.
    This worked perfectly for us. But pass the required parameters to the form from the routine used in standard program.
    If any queries please post it.

  • Which runtime systems do i need to configure in CMS

    Hi,
    We have development,Test,Production systems in the system landscape.
    So What runtime systems do i need to configure in CMS
    I am assuming it should be
    Development-Development
    Consolidation-Test
    Test-?
    Production-Production
    Which runtime system do i need to configure for test system in my landscape(is it consolidation or test).what exactly is the role of consolidation runtime system.is it mandatory to configure that runtime system
    Points will be rewarded for the helpful answer

    HI Bala,
    configure system as
    Development-Development
    Consolidation- if you dont have server then dont configure it.
    Test-Test
    Production-Production
    NWDI upto consolidation is driven by activities. and assembly to production is driven by SCA. i.e complete software packaging
    as Test server means where you can test your complete application.That means you need to deploy whole application  as a sca file.
    and in NWDI sca file is generated after assembly.
    consolidation is only for verifying you changes before packaging you application. it can't be a test server.

  • Newbie in need assistance configuring iChat server (LDAP).

    I needs some assistance in setting up iChat server for our office. I running LDAP and I have the iChat server basics setup and it is working, however my boss wants to set up different domains in iChat for the various departments (i. e. Accounting, Sales, production, etc.). These will not be accessed outside of the building. He states I need to configure additional search bases. It is at this point I am drawing a blank.

    Hi Paul,
    An intersetng one.
    James Weston may be able to post more on this.
    iChat can Chat to other Macs using the Bonjour option
    (Click the Apple/Command key + 2 together)
    Bonjour has to be enabled in the Account section of iChat Preferences.
    All computers have to be in the same subnet
    This is going to be the sticking point.
    Lets say you have one routing device for your local net and it issues all computers and devices with IP Addresses in the range 192.168.1.xxx then all the computers on on the same Subnet as there is only one LAN.
    If you have subsequent routers that change the IP addresses to somethng like 192.168.1.xxx for sales and 192.168.2.xxx fo accounts etc, then you will have subnets. Computers in 192.168.1.xxx will only see other Bonjour/iChat computers in that group and the same for 192.168.2.xxx but not from group to group.
    To show up in the Bonjour window iChat takes the Address Book Me card entry of the MAc user account and broadcasts it to the other computers.
    This would give you an option of using this method to pass out information where people were. The revelant "Sales" or "Accuounts" could be added to their Real Names.
    (Bonjour would have problems if several computers were changed to read just Sales as the Address Book name).
    An alternative would be to set up a VPN and have all computers on the same network for Bonjour independent of any of network they were on.
    James knows more about networks than I do and may have other information that may help.

  • HI!  I have a new macbook air but having difficulty connecting to a router if I am about 10 meters away.  My iMac, iPad, iPhones and iPods can connect easily.  Is there something that I need to configure?  I have no issues if I am close to it.  Thank you!

    HI!  I have a new macbook air but having difficulty connecting to a router if I am about 10 meters away.  My iMac, iPad, iPhones and iPods can connect easily.  Is there something that I need to configure?  I have no issues if I am close to it.  Thank you!

    Hello, If you are dealing with one of the really thin iMac's that have no superdrive, then the superdrive icon should not appear on the desktop when you plug it in, but when you put in a disk (CD, DVD, etc.) that should appear. If you go into disk utility, and look at superdrive, that should be clickable and not grayed out when you have it plugged in. If this does not show up in disk utility, go to Apple, and ask to speak to their supervisor, speaking to a customer service agent is like talking to a potato, nothing gets done. Good Luck!

  • Need to configure Airport connection to access corporate wireless network

    Need to configure Airport connection to access corporate wireless network.
    Have imported my certificate from Windows XP machine into keychain and made Leopard always trust in order to authenticate automatically into my corporate wireless network. Also attempted to establish a new 802.1x connection via network preferences without any success. It keeps asking me for username and password even though we used self-generated certificates to log into corporate wireless network. Does anybody have any instructions on how to successfully configure certificates in Leopard?

    Welcome to the discussion area, jackregan!
    You'll need to "hard reset" the Time Capsule and then reconfigure it again. To do this, you will hold in the reset button until you see the amber light begin to blink more quickly, keep holding another second or two and then release.
    The "hard reset" will not affect the data on your Time Capsule
    Now you can open AirPort Utility and configure the Time Capsule using wireless (be sure to log on to the default network which will have a name like Apple Network xxxxxx), or you can connect an ethernet cable from your computer to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule to have AirPort Utility communicate with it that way.
    When you open AirPort Utility, click Continue to follow the guided setup to re-configure your Time Capsule. You would choose the option to "Create a wireless network" when you are given the configuration options.

  • I am trying to use an external HD and need to configure it for the MAC. Can someone explain how to configure the HD (Western Digital - My Passport SE)?

    Can someone help explain how to add an external HD to the Mac? I have a Western Digital My Passport SE and need to configure if for the MAC and add it to the HD location on my Mac.

    Connect the external drive to the Mac. You can do that while the Mac is on, (If the drive is one that has to be plugged into a wall outlet do that too and turn the power on.) If there is a light on the drive it should turn on.
    Now double click on the hard drive icon - top left of the screen of your computer. When it opens look for the Applications folder. Double click that. Next look for a folder called Utilities. Double click. In there you will see a file called Disk Utility.app. Double click on that.
    You will now see something like this, with two items on the left. The second one is your new drive.
    Select it - one click. And click on Erase - one of the buttons at the top, You will see this.
    You must select the Format, it's a drop down - the one shown in the image above is best. You can change the name from Untitled if you want. The name can be changed later if you prefer.
    At this point look at the bottom right. There is a button there called Erase. Click on it. Then go get yourself a cup of coffee - this will take a few minutes.

  • Clarity needed on configuring

    Dear experts,
    I am new to sap hr.
    I would like to know, if we get some issues, like which server we need to configure.
    Development or quality or production ?
    Which are the cases, we will do the configuration in production ? also please clarify what is pre production server ?
    Regards
    Bala

    Hey Balaji,
    R/3 means Application Layer,Database Layer,Presentation Layer. Configurations can be done in Development server then move the request to QA Server and then to Production server. The Production server is considered as a Golden box, where the configurations done should be very accurate. Hence the initial configurations must be done in Sand Box (Dev Server). Hope this gives you some idea.

  • I need to configure my Time Capsule with a Ruckus wireless...

    Hi people, i need your help to solve this problem...
    I need to configure my time capsule for first time with one Ruckus wireless...
    If you can...could you please give me the solution?
    Thank you all!

    Time Capsule is designed for ethernet connection.. it is not really good without it.
    There is a single option to join wireless network.. hidden and unused as it should be..
    On a windows version you will have to hold down the alt key i think when you click the options for wireless mode.. it will then offer join a wireless network.
    It is super slow.. and subject to easy corruption of files.. it will turn off all wireless AP and routing and ethernet functions.. good luck!!

  • I need to configure WSA Ironport for user to access FTP on port 2235

    We have internal users who need to connect ftp on port 2235.
    can anyone share the information on how to configure it

    Hi,
    First you need to make sure the traffic is going to the proxy server, i.e. WCCP is redirecting traffic or you're set up correctly fro explicit.
    Then you need to mkae sure that FTP is allowed in the Protocols and User Agents and that port 2235 is in the HTTP connect Ports.
    Thanks
