Introduction

CO-PA is a tool to analyze the sales results of an organization. It is enable to evaluate the
market segments structured according to products, customers, orders or any combination of
these with respect to contribution margin.
The aim of this is to provide your sales, marketing, planning, and management organizations
with information to internal accounting and decision-support from a market-oriented viewpoint.
It collects data such as revenues from sales order/billing document and costs from process
order, cost center or internal order.
Profitability Analysis can be defined in two ways:

Costing-based Profitability Analysis

Account-based Profitability Analysis

In Costing-based Profitability Analysis it groups costs and revenues according to value fields
with costing based valuation approach.
In Account-based Profitability Analysis it groups costs and revenue elements with accountbased valuation approach which means always reconciled with Financial Accounting.
The major difference between Account based and Costing-based Profitability Analysis is when
post goods issue is happened values will be transferred to COPA in Account-based Profitability
Analysis, where as in case of Costing-based Profitability Analysis sales data will be transferred
only after billing documents posted. Thus it recognizes the revenue only after billing process is
completed to form contribution margin.
When it collects costs and revenues it also collects the associated characteristics and value
fields which help in framing the relevant reports.

Using CO-PA module, various levels of reports can be generated in the following combinations;

Profit of certain product

Profit of certain product in a certain region

Profit of certain product in a certain region by a certain customer

Profit of certain product in a certain region by a certain sales person etc.,

Plan vs actual profitability analysis

Reports Can be drawn based on the WBS Elements

Operating Concern

An Operating Concern represents an organizational unit in the company for which the sales
market has a uniform structure. It is the valuation level for Profitability Analysis (CO-PA).
The operating concern is the highest reporting level within CO-PA, it defines the limit of sales
and marketing information, which can be reported together from this module. One or more
controlling areas are assigned to an operating concern when organizational structures are
defined.

The data structure will organize the costs and revenues onto how it will be displayed or
analysed.1000- ARCH operating concern will be used in order to determine the structure of
profitability segments. The data structure is defined by Characteristics and Value Fields as
described in the subsequent narratives.

3.1 Characteristics:
Characteristics are nothing but those aspects we want to break down the profit logically such as
a customer, a region, a sales office etc can be defined as a characteristic on which profitability
analysis is to be performed.
Characteristics are SAP Delivered and Customer specific.
In Arch Pharmalabs Limited some of the individual characteristics will be grouped as below and
derived from the Sales Document and its dependent master data:

In Sales pricing procedures, certain condition types are defined as statistical in some pricing
procedures and the same condition types are real conditions in other pricing procedures.
To eliminate the statistical condition type flow to the billing document, we have use the condition
type elimination configuration. It is possible where ever separate billing type is available for
statistical conditions.
GAP : Where ever the billing type clarity is not available, CO-PA exit need to be written to
eliminate the statistical condition type flow to the CO-PA.
For example Excise Revenue is real condition in domestic revenue. But the same condition type
is statistical in deemed exports pricing procedure. For both the cases one billing document type
zf10 is being used.

4.1 Valuation using material costing


Material Cost Estimate will be transferred from Product Cost Controlling to determine the cost of
goods manufactured in Profitability Analysis, against billing document. The breakdown of these
costs in CO-PC is usually more detailed than that required in CO-PA. The cost component
structure can be transferred to CO-PA, to identify the cost of goods Manufactured. The following

Point of Valuation 01- Actual data and 03- Planned data


If the Standard cost estimate is not available, system will give error at the time of creating the
billing document. To avoid the same user has to maintain the elimination rule through
transaction code KE4H.
When sale is being made from Depot plant to customer, system has to identify the
corresponding manufacturing plant based on the Batch number and need to assign the
manufacturing plant in one of Characteristic field.

4.2 COGS from Valuation Type


Using the condition type technique, values can be flown to CO-PA. It is possible to make
provisions in CO-PA along with Revenues. The finished goods are having the split valuation.
Based on the material delivery to customer, it is required to identify the corresponding material
value from the valuation type.

Planning in Profitability Analysis allows planning sales, revenue and profitability data for any
selected profitability segments. Display the entire planning process of the company in different
ways, depending on the business demands.
Sales and profit planning is generally perceived as an integrated process involving different
roles within profitability and sales accounting. Distinctions are often made between the different
approaches used, such as central top-down planning and local bottom-up planning.
The planning tool in Profitability Analysis offers all those involved in the planning process a
uniform, graphical planning interface that is straightforward and modern.
An iterative sales and profit planning process consisting of a number of individual planning
steps, in which existing planning data is copied, projected into the future, revaluated, adjusted
manually, and distributed top-down until they obtain a sales and profit plan that fulfills the
enterprise's requirements. To support the individual steps of a planning process, the planning
tool for Profitability Analysis offers a wide range of planning methods and planning aids that can
be used to create planning data and to modify it to suit the company needs. These include
automatic methods that allow you to produce data automatically for an entire plan or to carry out
changes on that data, and functions that allow you to enter planning data manually.
The following are the basic data required to carry out the CO-PA planning, in SAP system:

5.1 Planning Layout


The entry screens for sales and profit planning are defined. These definitions are referred to as
"planning layouts" and represent structures of rows and columns.
Planning layout is created via automatic generation from the parameter set for the planning
method Enter Planning Data. The only planning layouts that you need to create manually are
those with complex lead columns containing several characteristics that are specified by row.
To meet the Archs CO-PA planning the following layout will be defined:

5.2 Planning Framework


In COPA Planning Frame work allows, to structure planning according to the planning
requirements. The following are the planning elements:

5.2.1

Planning Level

The planning level to determine the level at which planning is to occur. In the planning level will
be specified the characteristics for planning. Planning level needs to be synchronized with
planning layout, lead column and general data selection:

5.2.2

Planning Packaging

Characteristic values will be specified in a planning package. In this way, you determine the
market segment for which planning is to take place for a particular period. A planning package
can thereby be seen as a work package that determines which planning objects are relevant to
a specific planner.

Overhead Planning

In Financial accounting Arch will get the broader view for Revenues & Expenses. In Controlling,
the same is analysed in detail with the help of various cost objects like Cost Center, Process
orders, Profitability Segments, etc.
These expenses are then allocated further in Controlling. For example, If one department is
providing services to another department, the cost from the service provider cost center (Sender
cost center) should be allocated to receiver cost center. The cost of Production department
should be charged to a product based on the Machine hours or Labour hours etc. The transfer
of cost from One cost object like Cost center, Process order to another is called Allocation
Allocation of Cost from Cost Center to CO-PA
This document explains the process for Assessment of Planned costs from Cost center to
Profitability Analysis. This is a method of internal cost allocation by which costs of a sender
Cost center are allocated to receiver PA Segments. This is done by defining Assessment cycles.
In cycles we have several segments (Sub-cycles). In each segment, we have to define sender

Before the start of the year, Cost expenses plan will be prepared for each cost center. This
expense plan then will be maintained in the system, part of the Cost Center Planning process.

applied for Planned data allocation.
While defining the rules, Profit center (field) is mandatory & must be updated in CO-PA.

After allocating the Planned costs from these cost centers, the balance in the senders would be
zero.

Flow of Actual Data to CO-PA

Profitability Analysis can receive actual data from the following R/3 applications:

SD (customer agreements, sales orders, goods issues, billing documents)

CO-OM (assessment of cost center and process costs, activity and process allocation,
order settlement)

CO-PC (valuation using material cost estimates, settlement of cost objects, production
variances)

FI (general ledger postings)

Each CO-PA-relevant transaction in SAP (such as invoicing) triggers the creation of line items in
COPA. The data posted in CO-PA is determined through automatic and manual mappings, and
through derivation and valuation configuration.

6.2 Transfer of Billing Documents:


When billing document data is posted, the online transfer function transfers the values directly
into Profitability Analysis. In the process, it uses the record type F to generate a line item
automatically in Profitability Analysis for each item on the billing document. For each line item a
CO-PA document will be created.
The Sales and Distribution Module (SD) calculates revenues during billing with the help of a
pricing mechanism, and then enters it in the billing document. If sales deductions are known
(granted discounts, planned cash discount), these are also recorded in the billing document. In
addition, the stock value of the product (delivered price for wholesale or retail goods, or cost of
goods manufactured for in-house products) can also be determined. The system transfers all
the characteristics defined in Profitability Analysis contained in the billing document, along with
the customer and product numbers, from the document to the CO-PA line item. It also performs
Characteristic derivation for those fields for which derivation logic has been defined. Based on
the assignment of Condition type to Value field, the Revenue elements will be transferred to
corresponding value fields.
Incoming sales orders, as expected revenues can be transferred them from SD to CO-PA in
order to obtain an early estimate of anticipated profits. By analyzing this data characteristic, and
value fields, organization

will get early profitability results for individual segments of the

business. The Sales Order data can be viewed with Record Type A

6.3 Production Variances:


Variances typically occur, when you valuate your materials with standard prices. At the end of
the period, these standard costs are then compared with the actual costs incurred, and this
comparison forms the basis for a detailed variance analysis. The variances are finally
transferred to CO-PA at the end of the period to produce a factually correct representation of the
results.
The variances will be transferred to CO-PA, through transfer structure maintained Z0.

6.4 Settling Projects / Orders:


As period end activity Sales orders, projects as well as process orders will be settled to
profitability segments. These objects are used for various purposes relevant to Profitability
Analysis.

Internal orders and projects can be used to control the costs of an internal activity, such
as the costs of an advertising campaign. The costs of the activity are posted to the order
and collected there. At the end of the activity, they are settled to the appropriate
profitability segments, such as the product range and sales area.

Project is made in make-to-order and is settled to Profitability Segments. Sales orders


will be settled to CO-PA to settle the job work in costs to the profitability analysis. The
Project balances will be transferred to CO-PA through transfer structure Z1.

6.5 Direct Posting from Financial Accounting:


Directly post primary postings to profitability segments, if required and is directly identifiable.
This allows to post like sales deductions or actual costs that are first accrued at the end of the
period for the purposes of estimating profits - such as annual rebates or freight costs - to the
appropriate Profitability segments at a later point in time. Post the actual costs to the original
profitability segment (sales order or combination of product and customer), or - if a detailed
assignment is not necessary or no longer possible - to any higher level in Profitability Analysis
(actual freight posted to the division).
If the process requires the dual postings to both a profitability segment and a cost center or
statistical order, the real posting always goes to the profitability segment. The other object is
posted only for statistical purposes.
Double postings can make sense if, for example, to post expenses for a marketing campaign to
a profitability segment that represents a certain product group and sales region, and at the
same time need to see the data in the relevant sales cost center for statistical purposes.

GAP : While making direct posting to the CO-PA, System does not validate for the characters to
be entered in the document. User has to key in the characters properly.

6.6 Periodic Overhead Allocations:


To reflect all the actual costs from Overhead Cost Controlling in Profitability Analysis, transfer
the cost center costs, which are not directly attributable to the production process. Transfer
these costs to any profitability segments and thus assign them to any level of contribution
margin hierarchies.
Transferring Cost Center Costs
It is possible to transfer the overhead costs to Profitability Analysis such as the variances of
process order (as a single whole, not according to variance categories) and the costs for sales
and administrative cost centers. Cost center costs are always transferred to one profitability
segment (value field) in one segment.
It is also possible to transfer postings that are made in Financial Accounting to cost centers and
profitability segments at the same time. In this case, the postings are statistical in Cost Center
Accounting, while the true costs are stored in Profitability Analysis. The system ignores these
statistical costs in Cost Center Accounting when assessing costs to Profitability Analysis
Overhead Allocation
Assessment cycles allocate planned or actual costs for cost centers to profitability segments in
CO-PA on the basis of reference values, percentages, or fixed amounts.

6.7 CO-PA Manual Document entry:


Data is usually transferred to Profitability Analysis automatically. However, in some cases it may
be necessary to enter line items manually (for example, in order to correct postings). By creating

characteristics groups and value field groups and assigning them to record types, can reduce
the number of the characteristics or value fields need to enter and achieve the desired amount.

Information System in CO-PA

The CO-PA information system uses an online reporting tool - called "drilldown reporting" ,
which allows to evaluate the data collected in Profitability Analysis. With this tool we can select
the desired dataset according to any of the characteristics in our CO-PA system.
It is possible to display several profitability segments for any key figure, or several key figures
for any profitability segment.
The CO-PA information system provides a number of different ways to analyze profitability data.
We can define and display profitability reports to analyze the characteristics that are contained
in the segment level for an operating concern.
When defining the profitability report, it is possible to specify the different analysis criteria mainly
by selecting characteristics and value fields.
Some of the MIS reports for Sales and Profitability Analysis of ARCH would be generated
through CO-PA.

The following is the report expected from the system and need to be generated through report
tools:

8.1 Derivation of SCE at Depot Plant


When the billing document is posted to FI, the cost component structure of product is to be
transferred to arrive at the cost break up for further contribution analysis. As the standard cost
estimate for the finished goods are generally released to Valuation Type MFG at manufacturing
plants, the cost break up is not available at the depot plants. These products are stock
transferred to Depot Plants and delivered and billed to the customer. System can not derive the
cost break up in CO-PA document as no cost estimate exists at Depot Plant valuation area
level.
An enhancement in CO-PA valuation segment is required to derive the cost break up in the
billing document based on the standard cost estimate of the origin plant in which it is
manufactured

8.2 Derivation of Manufactured plant :


in case of sales happened from the depot, system does not have the manufacturing plant for
that materials directly. This need to be derived through the batch. Since the batch numbering is
plant specific, the manufacturing plant will be derived with the enhancement.

8.3 Exclusion of Standard Cost Estimate:


Other than Valuation Type MFG, normally system pass the standard cost estimate to all the
valuation types, based on the Costing assignment to the Material Type. The COGS Value need
to be passed on to Key Material Value field in case of Valuation Type other then MFG.

8.4 : Project/Sales order Settlement:


While settling the order / project System is not posing the Valuation Type /Material Code. The
same need to be derived and passed into the line item. In the same manner system is not
updating the Sales document type, distribution channel and division in PS settlements.
