hi SAP GURU,

COPA stands for Controlling Module - Profitability Analysis

Types of COPA:

1. Costing based CO-PA.

2. Account based CO-PA (more accurate).

Costing Based CO-PA:

Here the cost of goods sold will be updated during the sales order processing

itself. Direct costs are collected from the relevant product costs estimated for the finished

goods sold.

Account Based CO-PA:

Here the cost of goods sold will be updated during the processing of the billing

document, after the finished goods have been shipped to the customer.

Generally we use account based CO-PA for recording actual transactions &

costing based CO-PA for planning purposes.Account based CO-PA reconciles the data

between Fi-Co, since all costs and revenues are picked from the G/L accounts.

Below is the basic CO structure.

Company specific Structures in COPA are definined in Operating Concerns. They are of two types of COPA: Cost Based or Account based. These operating concerns have their own characteristics, value fields if it is cost based and characteristics, amounts and G/L accounts if it is account based COPA.

Main Tables in COPA

CE1xxxx Actual Line Item Table

(xxxx refers to operating Concern)

CE2xxxx Plan Line Items

CE3xxxx Value Fields (Key Figures),

(simlar to Fact Table in BW)

CE4xxxx Characteristics table

(similar to Dimension table)

For COPA extraction there is no standard business content data sources available because companies operating concerns are oganization specific, hence for these customized datasources have to be created using transaction KEBO using above tables. The data read by the extractor using pull mechanisms. Note to counter high volumes of data they are delata enabled and there is safety delta of 30 minutes as it pulls only data that is older than 30 minutes.

In retraction we send the BW query data back to COPA if needed. This is used to facilitate planning in COPA.

Perform planning functions in COPA and then send the data back to SAP BW for reporting purposes as required.

Please have a look the below site.u can see the pdf.file .its a total COPA documentation, from defination to till config.
