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

    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.

    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

  • 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

    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..

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • COPA extractor : account based vs cost based

    Hello
    Can you please give me an example of typical extractor output for account based and cost based models.
    Wha are the difference between different model types?  Please answer with your own words rather then with copy-paste.
    Is it the same principle like account based and key figure based in planning?

  • Subsequent debit - different behaviour for PO based IR and GR based IR

    Hy Guys,
    i am facing currently a problem with my understanding of system behaviour for GR Based Invoice Verification in combination with Subsequent Debit Postings...
    Example 1 - System Behaviour in case of PO based Invoice Verification:
    PO with 3000 PC Material XYZ / Price 10 EUR
    Goods Receipt for all 3000 Pieces
    Goods Issue for 2000 Pieces
    Situation is now:
    Valuated Material XYZ with Stock Quantity 1000 PC / MAP 10 / Stock Value  = 10.000 EUR
    Subsequent Debit Posting for 300 EUR / 3000 PC
    Result is that Stock Account is debited with 100 EUR / Price Difference with 200 EUR
    New Situation is:
    Valuated Material XYZ with Stock Quantity 1000 PC / MAP 10,1 / Stock Value  = 10.100 EUR
    This makes sense to me!!!
    Example 2 - System Behaviour in case of GR based Invoice Verification:
    PO with 3000 PC Material XYZ / Price 10 EUR
    Seperate Goods Receipt for 1000 PC - three times
    Goods Issue for 2000 Pieces
    Situation is now:
    Valuated Material XYZ with Stock Quantity 1000 PC / MAP 10 / Stock Value  = 10.000 EUR
    Subsequent Debit Posting for 300 EUR / 3000 PC
    Result is that Stock Account is debited with 300 EUR  (But there are only 1000 PC currently on stock!!!!! -  System thinks there are 3000 on stock....)
    New Situation is:
    Valuated Material XYZ with Stock Quantity 1000 PC / MAP 10,3 / Stock Value  = 10.300 EUR
    In that case i think system behaviour is wrong, because MAP increased to much.
    Any comments? Is this customizable?
    Thanks!
