What is COPA- Summarization Level

hi
COPA- Summarization Level
can u give me some theory for this
and also what is filed partation in co-pa while creating datasource its aksing?
regards
suneel.

A summarization level stores an original dataset in a reduced form. This original dataset
describes the individual profitability segments in terms of the amount of characteristics each has.
Summarization means that selected characteristics are left out. Any segments in the original
dataset that are now identical through having had characteristics removed are combined into a
single pseudo-segment in the summarization level.
From the technical point of view, a summarization consists of two tables that have just been
generated, the key table and the totals table. Key table corresponds to the segment table and
contains the pseudo-segments produced from the reduced characteristics. The totals table
corresponds to the segment level and contains the associated value fields.
The summarization levels can be used in a number of different areas in Profitability Analysis:
  The information system Drilldown Reporting
  To find the tracing factor for cost center assessment
  Manual planning
  Automatic planning
  Transfer to Sales and Operations Planning (SOP)

  • How to "active"  copa  summarization level ????

    Hello:
        I create COPA  summarization level  in R3 .When I save the level, the system generates these tables and sets the status to "active, without data".I need to fill the level with data, at which time the status changes to "active".But I don't know how to do it !
      Thanks for your help!

    Dear Consultants, Learner & Readers,
    The problem with changing the status of a summarization level from "To be created" into "Active, without data" in a system that is not open for customizing can indeed be solved by execution of program RKETREGN as  it's described in attached SAP Note 52636.
    I quote from the note:
    If you have created summarization levels, the tables generated  are not also transported. To create the tables in the target  system, start report RKETREGN (Summarization Levels: Generate Tables for Summarization Levels) in the target system. Enter 'KE'     for application, '01' for sub-application and 'CE1xxxx' for TABNAME (Replace xxxx with your operating concern). If the program does not run, then the program terminates with “error message KE707 when building summarization levels
    I hope this answers your query.  Else do not hesitate to get back for more clarifications.

  • COPA Summarization Levels

    Hi All,
    I have created summarization levels in COPA and when I run the COPA KE30 report with the summarization levels being active or inactive, it produces the same numbers in the Dev system, so no issue there. But in QA system, same summarization levels do not provide the same numbers. The numbers when summarization levels are activated are less than half of the numbers when summarization levels are deactivated. Same problem in the PRD system. I have tried to resolve the issue by creating the summarization levels directly in the PRD system.But the numbers did not match in that case either. The numbers provided by the report when the summarization levels are deactived are less than even half of the numbers when the summarization levels are activated.
    I have checked the report parameters in the DEV, QA and PRD systems and they are same.
    Please let me know what may be causing this inconsistency.
    Can it be because of some basis problem? I mean some memory problem etc which may be causing the summarization tables not to have all the data in QA and PRD systems.

    You wouldnt have any message in reports yaar.
    Just compare the authorisations in the development system with others.
    Also, do one thing., execute transaction SU53 immediately after the report execution, to see for any missing authorisations.

  • Summarization Levels in COPA. Tr Code KEDV

    Dear All,
    I request you to give me some Clarifications on Summarization Levels namely;
    1) Are the summarization levels build form Line Items tables(CE1XXXX and CE2XXXX).
    2) If so how does it get the field "PLIKZ"(Plan/Actual Indicator) for Plan line items as this field so not part of CE2XXXX, so How is it Updated?
    3) Assuming that there are Performance problems even after using Summarization Levels, can you please explain as to how exactly do the Indexs work.?
    4) In Indexes, there are 5 Columns with the title "Field", each of the column containing multiple rows, can you please explain what is the use of each of the columns.?
    5) i have gone through the OSS Note "83204", in it there is a path(given below) given to download the information on Summarization Levels. However, i was not sure as to how to download it Could you please let me know how to download it.If Possible can you upload the document under "Wiki" or " Articles".
    Below is the data and the file path from the note:
    ===============================================
    The document can be downloaded via ftp from the sapserv3 server (binary
    transfer mode). The German or English version is stored in directory:
    (~ftp/)general/R3server/abap/note.0083204
    under the name h83204dt.doc or n83204en.doc.

    Hi,
    Please follow instructions in note 480180 to download the file. Also for creating index you can refer to note 35288. Together with summarization levels and a proper secondary index you should not face major performace issue. If the performance continues to be bad then you must think about archiving the CE1 or CE4 tables in CO-PA.

  • Summarization Levels COPA

    Hello all,
    I´ve created a Summarization Level using transaction KEDV.
    The Summarization Level has still the status "to be created" in KEDV, even when I safe it, it does not change the status, so the tables are not built.
    When I try to update/ built/ rebuilt the level by using KEDU, it says it is not possible, because of the status "to be created".
    How can I change the status and built the tables for the summarization level?
    Thanks for your answers,
    Michael

    Try using the program "RKETREGN" to build.

  • CO-PA Summarization Level

    Hi,
    I am very unclear about summarization levels in CO-PA. Please can any one explain me what is the real significance of summarization level, why do we need it and steps to configure it, and on what logic is data extracted from it.

    1. What is use of summarizattion in COPA?
    summarization level in Profitability Analysis (CO-PA):
    A summarization level is a tool for improving performance.
    Summarization levels store an original dataset in summarized form. This gives quick access to presummarized data for functions that do not need detailed information, and means that the data does not need to be summarized separately each time.

  • Summarization Levels

    Hi,
    Can anybody explain what Summarization levels do in easy words? I know it works for COPA module, however, I am not sure what exactly it checks in the system? And why it takes so long to run ?
    thank you
    Roger

    Hi,
    In CO-PA, the system collects all the data at the line item level. This can lead to a huge amount of data within a very short time of operations.  Consequently, you may experience huge runtime when running a report which displays data summarized to a high degree but has to read the entire dataset.
    In order to improve runtimes, it is necessary to reduce the volume of data which has to be read online. This can be achieved by creating summarized versions of the dataset.  The data can be summarized as -
    1. First decide the summarized levels
    2. Fill the summarization levels with data
    3. Update the levels with new line items.
    Mostly at summarized level, periodic update of data happens.

  • Copa summarisation levels

    Hello all,
    i need to find a way of speeding up our copa jobs, its taking 6-7 days which
    is ridiculous. How do i reduce this time. what i thought of is to delete
    the summarization levels in kedv that we havent been using that much.
    i see the last used date of the summarisation levels and which ever ones we
    havent used for a long time i want to delete them. Is there a better way of doing
    this or better way of finding the active summarisation levels or invactive ones.
    Regards,
    Zaid Azam

    Is there a way i can find out in which report a summarization level is being used.
    Eg i have a summarisation level 900041 and i want to delete it if its not being used.
    Is there some way i can find out summarization level is being used in report x, y and z
    Thanks,

  • Summarization Levels in CO

    Hi,
    Im extracting from a particular CO table in ECC. The CO team is setting up summarization levels for that table. When they create a summarization level the system automatically creates a new table. Since im extracting from the source table how does BI identify the table that the system created automatically? What do i need to do on  BI side?
    Thanks

  • '*' in Summarization Levels for CO-PA

    Hi All,
    What is the role of table "TKETRLF" in Account based CO-PA. When I try to check the CO-PA Datasource it is giving me an error. I tried to debug it and see where exactly is the problem. I found that the standard program is trying to read the data from the above said table and becoz of not finding the required data it is not picking up the summarisation level and throwing the error.
    The table has got all the fields from the summarization levels and a flag(0,1,2...) which says if it is a summarization characteristic/user defined characteristic etc. The fields with out a '*' in KEDV has '0' as the flag. If the program finds the flag as '0' for any of the field in one summarization level then it is ignoring that level.
    Since I have atleast one field with out a '*' in each of my summarization levels, it is not picking up the summarization level and throwing an error saying "No Source could be found".
    This is very urgent...Please someone help me...
    Thanks,
    RPk.

    Hi,
    I have the same problem, and I find SAP Note  Note 1069507 - BI Extraction : 'Errors occurred during the extraction'. This is for version 5.0, probably it help you, but in my case I am working in ECC 6.0.

  • CO-PA Summarization Levels

    Hi,
    for a report with many characteristics I created 4 summarization levels in such a way that
    Summarization Level 2 includes all characteristics of the Summarization Level 1 + some more
    Summarization Level 3 includes all characteristics of the Summarization Level 2 + some more
    Summarization Level 4 includes all characteristics of the Summarization Level 3 + some more
    In the report options, in Presummarized data section, I selected "Read upon each navigation step".
    Now when I execute the report, data is first read from the Summarization Level 1. During drill down data is read from further summarization levels depending on which characteristic is used for the drill down.
    There is one thing that I don't understand:
    None of these summarization levels is used by the system if it does not contain the characteristic "Product".
    As Product is not used for the initial selection of the report I initially put it on Summarization Level 3. But the system did not want to use Summarization Levels 1 and 2 then.  When I added the Product to the Levels 1 and 2, everything is working fine. However this is not what I need because Product is not displayed on the first screen of the report.
    Do you know why the characteristic "Product" is required in each summarization level?
    I will appreciate your help very much!
    With best regards,
    Marcin

    Hi Surya,
    My report is calling all summarization levels.
    At the start the summariyation level 1 is called. It is most aggregated so it is little time needed to start the report. It contains only the most frequently used characteristics.
    During drilldown other summarization levels can be called (this is achieved thru the option "Read upon each navigation step"). It depends on which characteristic is used for drilldown: if the characteristic used for drilldown is not included in the currently used summarization level, the next least aggregated summarization level which includes this characteristic is called.
    The most frequently used characteristics are included in the most aggregated summarization level, the least frequently used characteristics are included in the least aggregated summarization level, which contains all characteristics used in the report.
    With best regards,
    Marcin

  • Optimal summarization levels for CO-PA

    Hi,
    is there any guide or SAP Note how to optimal set the summarization levels for CO-PA?
    E.g., how many characteristics should a summarization level contain or how many keydata records is maximum for a summarization level?
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for reply Pradeep,
    unfortunatelly I have not found the information I need.
    Does anybody know some other source?
    The question is: what is the maximum size of an summarization level (in MB)?
    Because if we add more and more characteristics to a summarization level, the amount of keytable records rises and the the summatization level losses its purpose.
    Within the OSS 83204 (file h83204en.doc) there is a smatement, that a summarization level is considered as big, if its size is more than 20MB...this is nonsense, our summarization levels are bigger than 1GB. Is there any newer version of the manual to the summ.levels?
    Thanks
    Regards
