CO-PA Extraction Uniqueness

[Former Member]

Hi All,

What is the uniqueness of the CO-PA extractor?

What is the importance of value fields? Value fields are nothing but a Key Figure values, but is there any specific importance in CO-PA for value fields?

Thanks for your support

the uniqueness of CO-PA is that it is structured very much like BW by way of usage of

1. CHaracteristics

2. Value FIelds

3. Profitability Segments etc

All these match to a specific object like Characteristic / KF / Dimension etc in BW and hence the uniqueness since we are transferring data from a BW like interface in R/3 to BW ...

When realignment takes place, you have reload all the data from R/3 to BW.

Hi vuppalapa,

there is a good ASAP Paper on the COPA Extraction. That should give you a good overview.

Hi,

The value fields are key figures only. They do not have any specific importance in COPA. Just like other areas they are used for analyzing characteristics.

Thanks.
