Combined COPA in SAP
Combined COPA is an advanced profitability analysis tool that integrates costing-based and account-based approaches to enhance profit evaluation and reporting. It allows organizations to track profit-related transactions more effectively, reconcile with general ledgers, and access comprehensive data structures for analysis. Overall, combined COPA offers significant advantages over traditional costing-based COPA, including better data retrieval, multi-currency handling, and enhanced reporting capabilities.

- 2. What is SAP-CO •It is referred to as controlling the entire performance of the enterprise. As we always say; ‘To plan, is to forecast’. The phase of controlling actually keeps the track of timing and energy one has invested in the planning area
- 3. SAP-CO • Now, ifwe add on PA, i.e. Profit analysis along with controlling, here, we are actually determining the workforce hours of our employees with the margin of revenue generation and the possibilities of cost-cutting. • We know SP –CP = P (selling price less cost price). But to analyze the profit in the same hour, we have to focus on the effectiveness of our employees’ outcome. • Along with some limited time, we need to procure more and more output via lesser input. • Yes! Profit can be much above 80 percent if our time and working zone go hand in hand efficiently.

- 5. What do weget when we combine both CO-PA approaches in SAP? 1. Your market auto segmentation gets you better results. 2. You have the accessibilities to all revenue/ cost/ margins to evaluate within your added capital of the company. 3. Combined CO-PA files will get the innumerable code generations by the company to a single stored determination. 4. Of course! There is a huge chance of sales variations and deduction alone.
- 6. Combined COPA –an overview 1. Combined COPA also referred to as combine profitability analysis (cPA) is an extended version of costing-based COPA. 2. This is a type of profitability analysis that provides the best of both i.e. a combination of costing-based COPA and account-based COPA.
- 7. Title 1) Combined COPAallows organizations to analyze profit-related transactions (such as the invoicing of a customer or consumption through delivery), both in the form of value fields and also in the form of accounts to which posting takes place in financial accounting. 2) It has much more functionalities than costing-based COPA and has the full ability to replace costing-based COPA.
- 8. Why combined COPA? 1)Unlike costing-based COPA, combined COPA allows you to reconcile to the general ledgers as it has information from FI-GL. 2) Combined COPA allows you to reports across various field values and G/L types, whereas in costing-based COPA there is a reference to the value field which can be updated.

- 10. Implementation Strategy :Brownfield Implementation 1. In this, the traditional costing-based COPA is already in use. 2. As costing-based COPA is dependent on value fields, the exiting value structure is automatically copied for customization in combined COPA. 3. In general, combined COPA and costing-based COPA run in parallel, and once the evaluation is done, costing-based COPA is deactivated.
- 11. Title In brownfield implementation,combined-based COPA is just added to costing-based COPA. The following are the functionalities are being taken place: 1. Generating data structures in the transaction KEA0. 2. Checking for logic for copying the statistical data from the Sales and Distribution module in transaction KEPLCO7 3. Activating other required control areas in transaction KEKE
- 12. Title Once the above-mentionedactivities are completed, then combined COPA updates value to both company code currency and operating code currency. All the values and documents that are present in G/L, existing profit-related documents can be moved into combined COPA.
- 13. Transaction codes formoving value Billing documents – KE4SP G/L documents – KE4SP_FI Goods movements – KE4SP_MM Sales orders for the generation of incoming sales orders – KE4T
- 14. Data structures incombined COPA Combined COPA has its own tables just like costing-based COPA( CE1, CE2, CE3..) which all come with the prefix CE9*. Combined COPA is broadly classified into 4 tables: Document Header: All the information related to the header is in this table Accounting segment: This contains all the information related to GL and helps in reconciliation. Vale filed segment: This is the same as the value field in costing-based COPA Quantity view: This table gives the quantity view information.
- 15. Prerequisites for activationCombined COPA Here are some of the following prerequisites to activate combined COPA: 1. The system has to be on S4CORE level SP1 2. 2370683- This note is used for various enhancements in profitability analysis. You must be active of SAP S/4 HANA or higher in order to implement SAP note 3. 1955893- This note should only be used if KEPSL development class does not exist on your system.
- 16. Advantages of CombinedCOPA over costing-based COPA • Information in Combined COPA is stored in CE9* tables which is useful for reconciliation and profitability analysis. • All the information such as sales order, delivery information is stored in items which makes it easy to trace back whereas in costing-based COPA you have to build logic to retrieve the information back. • The COGS postings are updated with record L in combined COPA, whereas in costing-based COPA postings are updated with recording F.
- 17. Title • All theCOGS postings are linked with CE9* ables which makes it easy to retrieve the information and pass it on to virtual information providers. • The configuration and logic required to create value fields will still persist even in combined COPA. • Another advantage is combined COPA can handle multiple currencies types • Combine COPA also has a pivot browser for analyzing the reports which is useful than the traditional Ke24 reports.
- 18. The crux Combined COPAhas lots of advantages over costing-based COPA. It is always recommended to have an account-based COPA. If account-based COPA is not fulfilling your requirements, then evaluate combined COPA for your business needs.
