Why no Std. DSO's for CO-PA

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

I was searching for a Std. DSO for CO-PA in BI Content. Surprised to see there is none. Tried to understand the reason in SDN, but found no related thread. I am curious to know the architecture CO-PA with ref. to BI and is it not good to keep a staging layer?

Please see th efollowing link.

Create a DataSource in the OLTP system for the operating concern. For this, you use transaction KEB0, which you find in the SAP BW Customizing for CO-PA in the OLTP system.

You define the DataSource for the current client of your SAP R/3 System on the basis of one of the operating concerns available there.

In the case of costing-based profitability analysis, you can include the following in the DataSource: Characteristics from the segment level, characteristics from the segment table, fields for units of measure, characteristics from the line item, value fields, and calculated key figures from the key figure scheme.

In the case of account-based profitability analysis, on the other case, you can only include the following in the DataSource: Characteristics from the segment level, characteristics from the segment table, one unit of measure, the record currency from the line item, and the key figures.

You can then specify which fields are to be applied as the selection for the CO-PA extraction.

regards,

Colin
