Bank Profitability Analysis
Purpose
Bank Profitability Analysis replaces standard Profitability Analysis for the bank.
Within Bank Profitability Analysis, the results determined in single transaction and single position costing are added together and linked with information from Cost Accounting and Financial Accounting. The information gained from Profitability Analysis can be used to control market segments and make informed business policy decisions.
Caution
You can therefore use the standard Profitability Analysis documentation to a large extent with Bank PA. You can find more detailed documentation in the SAP library under →
CO profitability and market segment analysis
.
The following documentation therefore only contains a description of the differences between Bank PA and standard Profitability Analysis, as well as the headings of the corresponding CO Profitability Analysis documentation.
Integration
Bank Profitability Analysis is a sub-component of Profitability Analysis. The most important data source for Profitability Analysis is Single Transaction Costing. There is no link to the SD billing system or to sales orders.

Features
Bank Profitability Analysis serves to help you make judgments about market segments, organized according to product, business partner, bank transaction. You can further use business units such as company code or operating concerns with respect to their profitability, contribution margin or margin. The main goal is to provide the different areas - management, marketing, product management, and customer relations - with controlling and decision making information. The data can be displayed by period or by transaction.
In contrast to CO-PA, Bank Profitability Analysis is designed to meet the special requirements of banks, and works in conjunction with the Single Transaction Costing module.
Note
Bank PA does not support the accounting methods provided in CO-PA.
