Type of Profitability analysis

Hi
What are the two forms of COPA Reporting in SAP
Vaibhav

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.
Thanks & Best Regards

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

Distributed Profitability Analysis from HCM system

We have a requirement to provide a distributed profitability analysis (PA) solution (account based) from our SAP HCM system (ECC6) to our backend SAP Finance system (ECC6).
Does anybody know whether this can be done?
I have found general information relating to distributed PA scenarios but none explicitly mention HCM as the source system.
For the scenarios I have found, it mentions using message type CODCMT as part of an ALE solution. Will this apply to HCM or have we got to look at alternatives such as (for example) bespoking the std IDoc solution for the posting of payroll results to include the PA data.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Points will be allocated.
Regards
Ian

Hi
Posting a COPA document while delivery of goods (VL02N) is not a standard way of COPA value flows.
You can only transfer your billing values only at the time of VF02 and not at VL02N and even it is not logical
Because when you do post goods issue, at that point of time you are not accounting for any revenue. So it is not proper to flow the values into COPA and generate a document at goods issue
One more thing is that accounting entries are automatically generated during VL02N and you cant directly post on COPA using Direct Acct Assgn from FI/MM. It only works when you directly do an FI posting
Hope it gives u an idea

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.

Incorrect material group derivation for Profitability Analysis doucment

Hi Gurus,
I found out some of the Profitability Analysis doucment generated with wrong material group assigned. Material group was derived from Product number, in my case it is defined as "table lookup" step type as below.
Source fields for table lookup:
MARA-MATNR = COPA-ARTNR
Assignement of Table fields to target fields:
MARA-MATKL = COPA-MATKL
Any idea of why this could be happen? Will it be due to my program error?
Pls advise asap.
Thanks & regards,
LOI

check KEQ3. maybe it is defined as "not used"

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

Profitable analysis and cost accounting doc

hi,
May i know why some of billing in vf03 only have cost accounting doc whereas some have both profitable analysis and cost accounting doc in document category when click accounting button.
thanks

Hi,
Please check the Sales Condition Types assigned to Value fields. May be some of your condition types are assigned to Value fields and some of are not. Go to KE4I.
Also check the PA Transfer Strcuture in KEI2, Whether relevant Cost Elements are assigned to Value Fields or not.
Regards,
Jigar

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.

Hi,
This is standard report to get acutal cost and planned cost and variance.

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

COPA Values in the Profitability analysis for a credit memo request

Hi All,
When I am trying to create an Invoice document for a Credit Memo request having a Configurable material , in the accounting document profitable analysis Profit Center view fields are not getting updated.
If we do the same thing for a reference material profit center view fields are getting updated properly.
What is the problem with the Configurable material.
Thanks in advance,
RajaMahi

I would start fresh with a new sales order. When you create with reference both the return delivery and credit memo are created with reference to the return sales order. Here is an example document flow to clarify:
Document                                      Date               Qty/value   UoM/Cur   Overall proc. status
                                                                                Return 60000077 / 10                          08/25/05               10.000 EA      Completed

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,
