Hi

Characteristic and key figures are the data set for CO-PA reporting. Value and volume is linked with key figure like- sales qty, sales value.

there are standard key figure , you can add your own and cost element are assigned to value field (key figure) for data population from basic R3 table for reporting, In costing based CO-PA value-field are updated from assigne dcost element.

Hi!

Generally you use key figure for defining calculated values for use as tracing factors for cost center assessment to COPA.

You can use for this t.code KE2K as define calculated values as reference values.

For Ex.

Key Figure R1 contains below value fields through formula :

R1 = ERLOS + VV00 + VV01 + VV02

where ERLOS = Revenue

VV00 = Exports Revenue

VV01 = Domestic Discount

VV02 = Exports Discount

So, this key figure you can use as a base for tracing factors for cost cetner assessment to COPA.

Hope it will clear to you. Pls ask for any further query.

Thanks & Regards,

Key figures are values such as amount or quantities. (Key figures provides answer to the question of How much/many?
