Configuration Guide
1 Purpose
This configuration guide provides the information you need to set up the configuration of this
building block manually.
If you do not want to configure manually and prefer an automated installation process using BC
Sets and other tools, refer to the installation guide of this building block.
2 Preparation
2.1 Prerequisites
If you want to use this building block, you must first install the following building blocks:
Building Block # Description
G80 Basic Settings
J17 Profitability Analysis
3 Configuration
3.1 General Enhancements CO-PA for Consumer
Products
3.1.1 Activating Customizing Settings
3.1.1.1 Defining Global Variables
Use
Global variables are used in reports to enable the user to adapt report criteria to his requirements
when executing a report.
Procedure
1. Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
Transaction Code KE3E

IMG Menu Controlling  Profitability Analysis  Information System 
Report Components  Define Variables for Reports
2. On the Change View “Maintain Variables”: Overview screen, choose New

Entries.
3. On the New Entries: Overview of Added Entries screen, provide type of variable, variable
name and replacement type as specified in table below and choose Enter.
4. On the New Entries: Details of Added Entries screen, provide remaining data as specified in
table below and choose Save.

Result
The global variable Sales Organization has now been defined.
3.1.1.2 Creating Additional Primary Cost Elements
Use
To transfer revenues and sales deductions to CO-PA, the relevant FI accounts have to be
extended each with a cost element in CO which, in order to prevent posting errors, must not be
existing as long as CO-PA is not active. Therefore, these cost elements are exclusively created in
the CO-PA building blocks (J17 and G68).
Prerequisites
The corresponding FI accounts must have been created.
Procedure
Transaction Code KA01
IMG Menu Controlling  Cost Element Accounting  Master Data  Cost
Elements  Create Cost Elements
2. If the Set Controlling Area screen appears, enter BP01 and choose Enter.
3. On the Choose Activity screen, choose Create Primary Cost Element.
4. On the Create Cost Element: Initial Screen screen, enter cost element key, valid-from and
valid-to date and choose Master Data.
5. On the next screen, provide name, description and cost element category and choose Save.

Result
The cost elements for the additional revenue and sales deductions cost elements have now been
created. Postings made to the corresponding FI accounts will now be transferred to CO-PA.
3.1.1.3 Assigning Costing Keys to Products
Use
Costing keys are assigned to products to specify wether a, and if so, which cost estimate is used
for valuation in CO-PA when a CO-PA line item is being created.
Procedure
Transaction Code KE4H

IMG Menu Controlling  Profitability Analysis  Master Data  Valuation
 Set Up Valuation Using Material Cost Estimate  Assign

corresponding CO-PA line item when a billing document referring to material B10010 or C10011
is being created.
3.1.1.4 Maintaining Assignment of SD-Conditions to CO-PA

Value Fields
Use
The different elements of an SD pricing procedure (long price, different types of sales deductions
and so on) can be updated each one into an own CO-PA value field. To enable the system to do
so, all SD condition types used in a pricing procedure must be assigned to a CO-PA value field.
Procedure
Transaction Code KE4I

IMG Menu Controlling  Profitability Analysis  Flows of Actual Values 
Transfer of Billing Documents  Assign Value Fields
2. On the Choose Activity screen, choose Maintain Assignment of SD

Conditions to CO-PA Value Fields.

BO01 Mat/Group Rebate VVMAB Material Rebate X
Result
Amounts listed in an SD pricing procedure under condition type BO01 will now be updated into
CO-PA value field VVMAB.
3.1.1.5 Defining PA Transfer Structure Delta
Use
The PA transfer structure specifies to which CO-PA value fields the production variances
determined during variance calculation are transferred. For the SAP Best Practices for Consumer
Products solution the structure Y2 provided by Building Block J17 has to be extended by one
assignment.
Prerequisites

3.3.1 Maintaining Structures
3.3.1.1 Defining Characteristics

For reporting on indirect sales, the additional characteristics Order Type and Bill-to Party are
needed. The order type is used to specify which line items derive from the pendulum list transfer.
This refers to which line items are related to indirect sales. The bill-to party is “abused” to indicate
which wholesaler carried out the sales. Doing so makes defining a new partner role redundant.

3.3.2 Maintaining Flows of Actual Values

3.3.2.1 Activating Transfer of Incoming Sales Orders
Use
Billing data is transferred from SD to CO-PA automatically when the billing document is created.
In order to have precise reporting, sales order data can also be transferred to CO-PA. This is
done so that the expected revenue, which derives from concluded sales agreements, can also be
taken into account as early as possible. In the context of pendulum list processing, activating this
functionality is necessary because pendulum list data is entered into the system as sales orders.
