Activating Company code curreny in COPA

[Former Member]

Activating company code currency within COPA. We want to activate this in our test system but we have concerns with the possible performance issues given the data going to COPA will double from that point forward. Foreign currency postings, as well as USD postings create two entries into COPA.

need advise on this on how we can I take care of this

Thanks

Hi Ankur

What is your Comp Code currency and Op Concern currency?? If both are same, say, USD - Then no point in activating the same

If they are different - Then it makes sense.... It makes sense even more if you are using Costing based COPA because Costing Based COPA is designed to reconcile with FI only in Comp Code Currency

However, it would increase the data volumes,... Do an analysis of the data posted in COPA over last 12 months and Last Calendar year... Then (x) by 2... you will get an idea of the Load that will be levied on COPA...

Take your BASIS guys also in the loop to do server sizing if need be

Thanks Ajay for input.

Is there some setting in this activation of currency to make sure that it posts two documents for only the transactions which are carried out in foreign currency. for eg. 98% of our business will be carried out in COPA currency USD but just 2% will be in Foreign currency. So will the system generate two documents in foreign and CO currency for only 2% of the transactions?

Thanks

Hi

Sorry Ankur, you are mistaken here

These 2 curr optoins have nothing to do with transaction currency...

Any posted COPA shows 3 currencies (Op Con Curr, Comp Cod curr and Trans/Foreign Currency)

Your Comp Code curr and Op Conc are Constant... you define them in Comp code settings in FI and Op Conc settings in COPA (KEA0)

The transaction currency can be any thing out of 100+ currencies available in the world

Hi,

do you have performance problems now using operating concern currency only? There are many things influencing CO-PA performance so its difficult to answer this question in general.

Hi Ankur ,

Just to add what Mr Ortner mentioned .. do you report in COPA ( KE30 ) reports ..

If yes , then if this requirement is "Nice to Have " .. then ideally you should avoid it.. Again it depends on the data volumes and whether you have summarization levels..

But , if you are reporting in BW systems and reviewing reports in BW.. then you can activate Company Code currency in COPA
