Object documentationTable COEP

 

 

The procedure described here provides an aid to dealing with table COEP if it grows too quickly or if there are data quantity problems within the table.

Structure

Often CO objects are mentioned in connection with cost accounting data, whereby these could be any object that produces data in cost accounting (CO data). Examples of these are cost centers, internal orders, sales document items (items in sales orders), cost objects, and production orders.

Central elements are the master record and line items.

The master record is stored in different tables, depending on the respective application

The master records contain, for example, a short text to the object and organizational data, such as controlling area, company code and plant. The object currency is often also stored in the master record or is derived from information in the master record.

Line items in cost accounting are stored in the same tables for all applications. Primary costs, for example, are all stored in table COEP regardless of whether they belong to a cost center or a sales order.

Characteristics of an object

Orders, sales document items, or cost centers can be described as object types.

The connection of an object to its CO data is given by the general object number (OBJNR field in the CO tables, such as COEP-OBJNR). This field provides you with information about the object type and, if needed, about the object key (such as the order number).

Integration

Decide which archiving object to use. The following questions may help you decide:

  • Which archiving objects are already being used or are planned?

  • What can be archived using the archiving object CO_ALLO ST?
