CO-PA Summarization Level

[#1]

Hi,

I am very unclear about summarization levels in CO-PA. Please can any one explain me what is the real significance of summarization level, why do we need it and steps to configure it, and on what logic is data extracted from it.

Thank you,

1. What is use of summarizattion in COPA?

summarization level in Profitability Analysis (CO-PA):

A summarization level is a tool for improving performance.

Summarization levels store an original dataset in summarized form. This gives quick access to presummarized data for functions that do not need detailed information, and means that the data does not need to be summarized separately each time.

2. If we dont give summarization in COPA Account based will records be available in RSA3 - yes

2. How to create summarization level for a datasource?

You can do this in Transaction - KCDU/KCDV or SPRO

Hope it helps.

is the use of summarization level mandatory?

if we use them, how abt init and subsequent delta updates, do they both have to come from summarization level.

while creating summarization level how do we select chars and kfs, do we include all the chars and kfs which are in cube in one summarization level, if not how do we draw a line on it.

Hi Paolo,

I have a question about one of your answers:

<i>If we dont give summarization in COPA Account based will records be available in RSA3 - yes</i>

In one of our earlier projects, we implemented Account-Based COPA. We could not see the records in RSA3 without creating a summarization level.

Please clarify?

Thanks
