COPA? functionality

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

what does this term mean...COPA implemntation.

Does COPA functionality come along with FI r FI-CO.

r else do we need to do some additional steps to configure COPA seperately...can anybody clarify ...

If the client has FI-CO r FI does he even needs SD in order to use the COPA functionality..

Plz Clarify

thanks.

Hi Neel,

from the help...

"The actual postings represent the most important source of information in CO-PA. You can transfer both sales orders and billing documents from the Sales and Distribution (SD) application component to CO-PA in realtime. In addition, an interface program is available to let you transfer external data to the R/3 System. You can also transfer costs from cost centers, orders and projects, as well as costs and revenues from direct postings (G/L account postings in FI, orders received in MM, and so on) or settle costs from CO to profitability segments."

As you can read...you CAN (not you have to) transfer from SD...but you can also takes data from external or other R/3 areas...the only thing that is sure that you have to take actual postings from somewhere (not necessary SD...)

Hope now is clearer...

Bye,
