Simulate Document Transfer from Orders - Profitability Analysis
Application component: Profitability Analysis
App type: SAP GUI
Description:   There are various functions with which you can analyze your Customizing settings for valuating actual and planning data.  
Key features:   With the Customizing Monitor , you can gain an overview of all the Customizing settings relevant to CO-PA valuation.  The Valuation Analysis option is attached to different functions (such as manual line item entry or manual planning) and enables you to analyze in detail at the value field level all the individual valuation steps executed by the system during a given CO-PA valuation strategy.  With the Valuation Simulation function, you can analyze the effect Customizing settings have at different points of valuation, without having to use a posting transaction.   Customizing Monitor   You access the CO-PA Customizing Monitor by choosing Tools  Analysis  Check Customizing Settings . Then you can select the Overview of valuation node to display - in conjunction with the operating concern, point of valuation, and record type - the valuation strategies that have been defined.  Valuation Analysis   You can perform detailed valuation analysis using a range of functions with which valuation is possible. Examples of such functions are:  Manual Line Item Entry   Simulating Billing Document Transfer (you access the analysis tool by choosing Tools  Analysis in CO-PA Customizing)   Simulation of Document Transfer from Incoming Sales Orders  Subsequent Posting of Billing Documents  Periodic Valuation of Actual Data   Manual Planning Data Entry    When you have carried out valuation, start the analysis by choosing Extras  Valuation analysis . The system then presents you with information about the business transactions in the valuation strategy that you executed. Such information includes the values that were entered and those that were issued. Moreover, you can display detailed information about the individual valuation methods and then jump to the Customizing settings.  Among the options open to you, you can execute a condition analysis for valuation with conditions and run an access analysis to see how a material cost estimate is read with flexible access. You call up these two functions separately:  For the access analysis, choose Extras  Analyze Product Cost Planning  For the condition analysis, choose Edit  Condition analysis   Valuation Simulation   To test valuation in detail or to run a detailed analysis of errors, you can simulate valuation in Customizing by choosing Tools  Analysis  Valuation Simulation  for the different points of valuation  . The screen that appears matches that for manual line item entry, but   no values are posted  . From this screen, you can use the valuation analysis described above, as well as the separate condition and access analyses.  Changes that you make at the same time in Customizing for valuation take immediate effect in this function, without your first having to quit the transaction.

Create Line-Item-Based Reports - Profitability Analysis
Application component: Profitability Analysis
App type: SAP GUI
Description:   A report based on line items allows you to display the line items you have in Profitability Analysis. This type of report always reads the line items directly. Unlike the profitability report, it never accesses data from the segment level. In this way, you can analyze characteristics that are contained in line items but were locked out of the segment level in Customizing under segment-level characteristics.  Note For more information on the terms segment table , segment level , and line item , see Database Tables for CO-PA Transaction Data .  It makes most sense to use reports based on line items when you analyze a relatively small amount of line items, such as when analyzing sales for a given day. More extensive analyses cause very long runtimes. In contrast to line item lists , which offer you only a limited number of functions, reports based on line items allow you to use all of the navigation and display functions available in drilldown reporting.  The system reads the data according to the current structure. This means that the system selects and displays the characteristic values on the basis of the information in the profitability segment. If a realignment was performed after the data for a characteristic value was posted, the new assignment is displayed in the line-item-based report.  Note This type of report is only available in costing-based Profitability Analysis.
Value Flow from SD to CO-PA - Profitability Analysis
Application component: Profitability Analysis
App type: SAP GUI
Description:   You can use this function to compare the actual data in CO-PA to the corresponding postings made in Financial Accounting (FI). This makes it possible to analyze the flow of values from billing documents in Sales and Distribution (SD) to CO-PA and understand how any differences arose between the different applications.  You can find this function in Customizing in the Tools  Analysis section and in the application menu under Tools   Analyze Value Flows .
Change operating concern
Application component: Profitability Analysis
App type: SAP GUI
Description: Before you can execute some of the functions in Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), you first need to specify the operating concern for which the function is to be performed and the type of profitability analysis (costing-based or account-based) you wish to use. 
Key features: You set the operating concern by defining its settings and specifying the desired type of profitability analysis in a dialog box. The settings in this dialog box are then valid until you log out of the system or reset the operating concern. There are two ways of accessing the dialog box: In the SAP Menu: Accounting  Controlling  Profitability Analysis  Environment  Set Operating ConcernIn Customizing: Controlling  Profitability Analysis  Structures  Set Operating Concern When you first call up a function that requires an operating concern, the dialog box appears automatically if the operating concern has not yet been set. If you only have one operating concern or generally only work with one operating concern, it makes sense to enter this operating concern and the required type of Profitability Analysis in your user master data. By doing so, the dialog box will no longer appear, even when you logon again to the system. The system then uses the operating concern and the type of profitability analysis stored in the user master record. Moreover, you can call up the dialog box at any time to switch to a different operating concern or to the other type of profitability analysis. The entries stored in the user master record then apply all the while you are still logged on to the system.

Application component: Profitability Analysis
App type: SAP GUI
Description: By restricting your selection criteria, you can display a specific amount of line items in the line item list. The line item list is especially useful for displaying characteristics that you do not use for creating profitability segments and that you have deactivated accordingly in Customizing (by choosing Structures  Define Profitability Segments Characteristics (Segment-Level Characteristics). In costing-based Profitability Analysis, these characteristics are still filled in the line item and hence listed in the line item list. You can display either planning data or actual data in a line item list. If you wish to analyze your line items using the drilldown reporting functions instead of the SAP List Viewer functions, use the line-item based reports.

Application component: Profitability Analysis
App type: SAP GUI
Description:   The Period distribution planning method for the manual entry of planning data allows you to distribute - on the basis of a distribution key - the values of the planning objects you selected to the periods you specified in the fiscal year variant. If there are already values at those periods, they are distributed again.
Edit Forecasting Profiles - Profitability Analysis
Application component: Profitability Analysis
App type: SAP GUI
Description:   For the manual entry of planning data, you can use the Forecast function to determine anticipated values for individual profitability segments on the basis of a time series.  
Key features:   The forecast function for sales and profit planning is essentially the same as that for sales and operations planning (SOP). The system supports a number of forecast models , including constant, trend and seasonal models. The models and forecast parameters are specified in forecast profiles that you define in Customizing for Profitability Analysis under Planning  Planning Aids  Forecast Profile . Predictions can be made for any time periods and on the basis of both planning and actual data.  For more information on this topic, see the following sections in the SOP documentation: Selection of Models (and the subordinate chapters)  Forecast Formulas
CO-PA Planning - Profitability Analysis
Application component: Profitability Analysis
App type: SAP GUI
Description:   The automatic planning method Copy allows you to copy existing reference data to data area specified by the selected planning package. Reference data can be, for example, the actual data from the previous year or planning data from a different plan version. You can use the copied data as the basis for planning, for example, and then change it by applying other planning methods.  Caution Note that you have to call up the planning method for the target planning package in which the copied data is to be set.  
Key features:   In the parameter set, you can specify the following:  You specify how the system should proceed if values already exist in the target data area. It is possible to copy values and thereby overwrite the existing values. Alternatively, you can add the copied values to the existing values or subtract them from them. You specify the time frame for the reference data that is to be copied. There are two ways of doing this:  On the one hand, you can have the system automatically determine periods that fall before (or after) the periods at the planning level or those in the planning package. Under Period shift , you enter the number of periods that the system should count back . (If the reference data falls in the future, enter a figure with the negative sign.) You can display the current fiscal year variant in order to enter an appropriate value.  On the other hand, you can enter the periods for the reference data directly under Period from/to . Note, however, that the interval has to be identical in length to the interval that you entered in the planning level or in the planning package.   You specify whether the data to be copied is actual data or data from the plan version for the planning package or from a different plan version that is yet to be specified. You can copy the value fields of one characteristic value into another characteristic value. In this way, you can copy the planning data for a customer, for example, as a basis for another customer. For this, use the Transform characteristic values function.   Example Reference data: Customer   Sales quantity   Revenue     AAA    10    200      Transform characteristic values: AAA → BBB  Result: Customer   Sales quantity   Revenue     AAA    10    200     BBB    10    200      The object with customer AAA is copied and, since the characteristic has been transformed (AAA → BBB), a new object is generated with customer BBB.  You determine whether the value fields are to be revaluated when data is copied. By making the appropriate setting, you specify, on the one hand, whether the planning method is to be executed in a test run or in an update run, or, on the other hand, whether this decision is to be postponed until the point of execution of the parameter set. You can jump to a background processing screen. In the Value fields tab page, you specify which specific value fields are to be copied.
Edit Key Figure Scheme - Profitability Analysis
Application component: Profitability Analysis
App type: SAP GUI
Description: You can analyze a large number of key figures in your reports in Profitability Analysis. These key figures can be either value fields or key figures calculated from a key figure scheme. A key figure scheme is a group of formulas that define a number of key figures. For example, you can include a contribution margin scheme in the key figure scheme by taking the corresponding value fields and calculating the extra key figures required.  Two editors are available for defining individual key figures: In the Basic Formula editor, you can define simple formulas that use addition and subtraction only. In the Formula Editor, you can also define more complex formulas.

Maintain Summarization Hierarchies
Application component: Information System
App type: SAP GUI
Description:   You need more than a cost structure analysis of individual internal orders ( Internal Orders , Production Orders , Projects) to ensure efficient controlling. You need to be able to group together account assignment objects with common attributes and analyze them collectively. This provides a much greater degree of cost transparency within your organization.  Example You can, for example, summarize and analyze the costs of all your orders according to the following criteria:  Order type   Responsible cost center   Plant   
Key features:   For reporting purposes, summarization collects account assignment objects with common attributes.  You can use summarization initially to obtain an overview of a large number of orders. It is also useful for processing order groups containing large variances. You can then analyze relevant account assignment objects individually, using the cost element reports. This means that you do not have to analyze each account assignment object individually. Summarization hierarchy   You use characteristics to define the individual levels of the summarization hierarchy. These characteristics refer to the fields in the master data for the account assignment object.  The controlling area is always the top node in the summarization hierarchy. To summarize account assignment objects, you need to differentiate between those and the others in the same controlling area. You do this by using a characteristic in the corresponding hierarchy identification. For more information on summarization hierarchies, see the SAP Library under Accounting  CO-Controlling  Product Cost Controlling (CO-PC)  Product Cost Controlling  Information System  Cost Object Controlling: Information System    Key Figures in cost Object Controlling  Summarization Hierarchies  , or the implementation guide for the summarization object.  You can find more information on classification in the SAP Library under Financials  CO Controlling  Product Cost Controlling  Cost Object Controlling  Summarization Reports   The following standard summarization reports are available:  Summarization objects: Actual/plan/variance   Compares the plan and actual costs for the selected subhierarchy. Summarization objects: Actual/plan/commitment   Compares the costs already assigned and those still available. The value in the Allotted column is calculated by adding actual cost and commitment values. The difference between the plan costs and the assigned costs is displayed in the last column as available costs.  Summarization objects: Curr. Period/Cum./Total   Compares the plan and actual costs for a selected period, the entire fiscal year, and cumulated.
