CO-PA characteristics population from coding block

[Former Member]

Hi I have defined couple of custom fields in my coding block (GL field extensions).

Users will be populating these fields while posting the document.

Is there nay way ( config, substitution or user exit ) thru which we can populate these fields in profitability segment ( CO-PA characteristics )?

Hi,

I reckon that you would like to have attributes in those custom fields as COPA characteristic? if so, firstly you would need to add a Characteristic to Operating Concern and Segment.

Are the values in those custom fields in your coding block being derived from other attribute, for example, material master or customer master? If that is the case, you would be able to use Derivation or Table look up.

If that is not possible to derive or look up from a table and need to transfer from coding block, you may explore the possibility to activate SAP enhancement COPA0001.

Hope that helps
