Dear Sir,

Customer is a fixed characteristic in COPA. During billing (VF01) we take the sold-to-party as the customer in COPA by default.

The costs are transferred to COPA through condition VPRS. You will have a condition in the invoice representing the revenues. You need to map these conditions to appropriate value fields using tcode KE4I. Accordingly the values will flow to COPA. Please also read note 20254. You can then setup a report in KE30 to check the costs and reveues for each customer

Hi

CO-PA provides a number of different types of derivation step, called "derivation types".

A Derivation rule is an "if ® then" rule that determines which actual characteristic values or combinations of source characteristic values result in which target characteristic values.

Table lookups let you read individual records of any table to determine characteristic values. Here the source fields must make up the key of a specific table, from which the system can copy certain contents to the target fields.

Moves let you copy a constant or the content of any source field to a target field. For example, you can copy the value of a characteristic to another field if certain conditions are fulfilled

Clears let you delete the value of a characteristic, setting that field back to its initial value (blank for CHAR fields, "0" for NUMC fields).

Customer hierarchy:You can only use this type of derivation step if you have maintained the assignment of the customer hierarchy in SD to the CO-PA auxiliary structure PAPARTNER.

you can use a customer enhancement (COPA0001, component 003). This enhancement can be called up at any point in your derivation strategy (even more than once).
