CO-PA External Data Transfer

In this section, you will find information about importing data from a non-SAP system.

In costing-based Profitability Analysis, you can import both plan and actual data. In account-based Profitability Analysis, you can only import plan data.

It is possible to process transfers simultaneously. You can transfer more than one external file at the same time without the system locking data.

Before the first data transfer, you need to

• define the structure of the external data

• define the sender structure

• define transfer rules

Recommendation

To reduce runtimes, divide the external files into a number of separate files and import them on multiple application servers.

Additional Information

This interface can also be used to import legacy data.
