More Details

Many companies struggle with reconciliation between SAP FI and SAP CO-PA in order to generate reliable and actionable reporting results. This book explores value flows into SAP Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) in depth, along with integration with the SAP ERP system.

Authors Stefan Eifler and Christoph Theis are leading SAP CO-PA subjectmatter experts. They walk readers step by step through a SAP value flow—from the customer order to production, goods issue to the billing document, and how to display the values in FI/CO. Obtain perspective on business and technical functionality and considerations.

The book also makes the case for using SAP CO-PA as a sales control tool in order to allow for a wider range of business analysis. Explore an overview of SAP S/4HANA Finance and its impact on CO-PA:


  • Value flows based on the sales and production processes
  • Reconciliation between FI and CO-PA
  • Overhead costs and closing tasks
  • Overview of SAP S/4 HANA Finance

Reading Example

2.1 Creating a sales order

We will now create a sales order in the SD module of the SAP system using transaction VA01. To do this, enter a sales document type and a sales area and confirm your entries. In SD, a sales area always consists of three organizational characteristics: the sales organization, distribution channel, and division. In our example system, we use sales document type (Order Type field) TA and sales organization ET15, distribution channel 01, and division 00 (see Figure 2.1).

For our customer K1, we enter an order in which the customer has ordered one piece of our sales product FERT1. Figure 2.2 shows an overview with the relevant details.

In the top right-hand corner you can see the net value of EUR 6000. Where did the system get this value from? On the Conditions tab for the order item (see Figure 2.3) we can find further information about how this net value is calculated.
