  • 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

    Hi
    I have to create MIS for project wise profitability analysis .  In sales order we used additional tab as project and we assigned projects to each and every sales order
    Now they want one Report "Project wise profitability analysis" . So i have do that through Infoset (Lis)
    Please tell me what are the charecteristics & what are the keyfields to select to get the cost
    (i want material number - Planned cost - Actual cost - variance)

    Hi,
    This is standard report to get acutal cost and  planned cost and variance.
    S_ALR_87013532 - Plan/Actual/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

  • 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.

  • REO Profit. analysis//5  Profitability Analysis

    Hi Expert,
    I am facing an issue on controlling document, when i do posting in WTY (warraty module) in DBM project (SAP R/3).
    My FI doc is posted to correct profit center but when i check on controlling document, it show "REO Profit. analysis//5  Profitability Analysis". Other controlling document will show correct internal order number.
    Is this issue related to Profitability Analysis? As i did not activate profitability analysis in DBM ERP.
    Please advice is there any configuration i missed out?
    Thanks.
    regards,
    chuan

    Hi
    This issue arises when category 11 or 12 cost elements are posted w/o a true CO object i.e. you enter only the PC as the account assignment obj for revenues
    Make message KI 166 as E in OBA5.. You wont be allowed to post w/o entering a true CO object (Like IO, PSG etc)
    As of now, you can modify the CO object using KB61 for the posted docs

  • How to Calculate Profitability Analysis ?

    Hi
    kishore
    This is basically a part of Sales and Distribution Module . can u just revert me back with the Answer .
    Regards
    kishore

    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

  • 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

    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
    Regards
    Ram

  • 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:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/7a5ee147-0501-0010-0a9d-f7abcba36b14
    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)..

  • 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"

  • 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

  • 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

    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 ?
