value field (CO-PA)

Profitability Analysis (CO-PA)

The value fields contain values and quantities that were updated or planned for particular objects.

In costing-based profitability analysis, value fields represent the highest level of detail at which you can analyze quantities, revenues, sales deductions, and costs for profitability segments in profitability analysis or contribution margin accounting. You are able to define the revenues and costs that go into specific value fields for profitability reports or sales and profit planning when you set up your SAP System.

Example

You can define your sales deductions to reflect the structure of sales deductions in SD conditions.

For the cost of goods manufactured, costs can be represented in accordance with the costing sheet in material costing (or summaries thereof).
