Here you make the basic settings for creating
and executing profitability reports. This includes the following
steps:
- Create the individual components of
reports
- Reorganize your information system
Notes on
transporting
You can transport the settings you made to your
productive system using the
CO-PA transport tool.
Note that the generated ABAP Repository objects
are valid for all clients. Conflicting names in the target system can also
lead to problems in other applications. Therefore you should make all
Customizing settings in one (source) system. You can then transport these
settings to your other (target) systems. This technique helps you avoid
inconsistencies.
If you cannot use this technique for some
reason, be sure to observe the following:
1.
Characteristics and value fields with the same name must have the same text,
the same attributes (type, length), the same check table and the same origin
table in each system.
2. For
characteristics which were defined manually, enter the number for the check
table manually as well. Each characteristic must have the same number in all
systems. The assignment of the number to the characteristic must be
unique.
The settings you process in this section are
transported together with the operating concern.
On the selection screen of the transport tool,
select the object operating concern , and then choose the
desired dependent object types.
You can transport the following dependent
objects:
The following
settings are transported as well:
- attributes and data structures of the
operating concern
- versions (CO-PA settings)
- derivation (derivation rules, structures and
table)
- segment-level characteristics
- characteristic groups for plan and actual
data
- characteristic groups for the information
system
- valuation (condition types, access sequences,
costing sheets, valuation strategies, settings for product
costing)
- assignment of SD conditions to CO-PA quantity
and value fields
- assignment of activities to characteristic
groups
- settings for the SD interface
- external data transfer (assignment groups,
field assignments, external structure)
- summarization levels (definition)
- settings for distributed Profitability
Analysis
- field (characteristics and value fields in the
operating concern)
- master data (master data and master data
tables for the user-defined characteristics)
The system creates a transport request which
contains the objects you want to transport.
