Hi Reddy,

There are few dfferences between Accountng and Costing based COPA.

Some other points are below:

1. You Can't transfer variance to Accounting based  COPA, where as it can be possible in Costing based COPA.

2. Costing based COPA is based on Char and Value fields. So, you can get a flexible reports. Whereas in Acc based COPA, you can't that flexibility in reporting because we use GL accounts for reporitng.

3. You can't get reports based on sales orders in Acc based COPA.

4. At the time of delivery of goods, revenue details will not update in Cost base COPA, but the same will update in Cost based COPA at the time of billing.

Hope you have a clarity with this.

Hi Reddy,

We should not say these as limitations, this is how standard system behaves....

When it comes to account based COPA ......

• no functionality of incoming sales orders
• No valuation strategy concept
• No concept of reset values fields (in fact no concept of value fields)
• No top-down distribution applicability
• No Key figure scheme applicability
• No forms creation for reports based on line items

When it comes to costing based COPA is FI-COPA reconciliation problem arises especially in case of billing & delivery happens in different periods

Dear Reddy,

There is a note that describes the differences between the costing-based and the account-based Profitability Analysis types.
