CO-PA allows access to the Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) structures, or the
core of SAP database tables, and it also allows the creation of structures that are
later used by Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) applications to generate
multidimensional, analytical, and reporting components based on OLTP data such as
that delivered in SAP NetWeaver Business Intelligence (BI) 7.0.
SAP NetWeaver BI 7.0 can be stored inside the core tables of SAP and you can use
CO-PA as the way to find data inside the SAP database. The beauty of CO-PA lies in
the capability of performing somewhat sophisticated planning and reporting
processes similar to those available in SAP NetWeaver BI 7.0,
Cost Based: Main feature of cost based analysis is the user value fields which
represents cost and revenue elements groups
Account based: This type of analysis are cost and revenue elements here the
analysis done by using accounts.
Operating Concern:
The main element in CO-PA is called operating concern, which can be understood as
an InfoCube for those familiar with the SAP data warehouse applications, or simply
as a small group of selected data objects that will be extracted from specific SAP
Tables and that are part of what are called profitability segments.
Combination
Cost Based uses 1 and 2
Account Based uses 1 and 3
The SAP system uses two data models: account-based and costing-based. These
two data storage or reporting models are the references for any data-sharing
applications in the SAP environment, and also limit the type and level of detail of
the data reported.
SAP R/3 or SAP ERP ECC 6.0 environment is the most important source of data
displayed in CO-PA, from modules such as FI, CO, SD, PP, MM, and Project
Management (PS).
As you are probably aware, objects inside an SAP system are either called
characteristics or value fields.
Characteristics describe the data stored in the system, such as customer ID, billing
date, or product ID.
These characteristics can be used to limit the data extraction with the
definition of profitability segments or market segments.
Value fields store data as currency, quantity, or amounts, such as sales, cost of
goods sold, and others.
