Short text
Flexible Planning: Interface with Profitability Analysis (CO-PA)
Description
You can now transfer data both to and from Profitability Analysis (CO-PA). For example, you might use the sales plans you receive from CO-PA as the basis for creating sales and production plans in Flexible Planning. Having finalized these plans, you might pass the results back to CO-PA, which works out the cost of producing the planned number of units.
This function is supported for the consistent and level-by-level planning methods.
You trigger the transfer of data from Flexible Planning to CO-PA in Flexible Planning. This is done with mass processing. You trigger the transfer of data from CO-PA to Flexible Planning in CO-PA with transaction KE1K. This is done either online or in the background.
The system converts automatically between units; that is, currency units, units of measure, and period units.

Transferring Data from Flexible Planning to CO-PA
The following steps describe how, starting from Flexible Planning, you transfer flexible planning data to CO-PA.
-
Create a key figures assignment profile in Customizing view V_LISCOPAK.
-
This profile specifies which key figure and information structure in Flexible Planning corresponds to
which key figure and operating concern in CO-PA. This profile is used by both Flexible Planning and
CO-PA. It can be used to copy data in both directions. However, we are here describing the transfer
of data from Flexible Planning to CO-PA. Therefore, the key figure in Flexible Planning is the source key figure and the key figure in CO-PA is the target key figure.
-
The system converts automatically between currencies or units of measure. However, the units of the
key figures must be of the same type; that is, you can transfer from one currency unit to another, or
from one unit of measure to another, but not from a currency unit to a unit of measure or from a unit of measure to a currency unit.
- Note that this key figures assignment profile is different than the one you use to copy key figure values from one information structure to another.
-
Create a characteristics assignment profile in Customizing view V_LISCOPAM.
-
This profile specifies which information structure and characteristic in Flexible Planning correspond
to which operating concern and characteristic in CO-PA. This profile is used by both Flexible Planning
and CO-PA. It can be used to copy data in both directions. However, we are here describing the transfer
of data from Flexible Planning to CO-PA. Therefore, the characteristic in Flexible Planning is the source characteristic and the characteristic in CO-PA is the target characteristic.
-
If you transfer to an information structure for which level-by-level planning is defined, make sure
you define the level to which the transfer should be made precisely; that is, enter the characteristic of that level as well as all the characteristics on all higher levels, without leaving any gaps.
- Example
Counter | CO-PA characteristic | LIS characteristic |
1 | VKORG | VKORG |
2 | ARTNR | MATNR |
3 | KUNDE | KUNNR |
-
In this example, data is transferred to the customer level of the information structure.
- If you transfer to an information structure for which consistent planning is defined, the data will automatically be aggregated and/or disaggregated from the level to which you transfer it.
-
Create a CO-PA profile in Customizing view V_LISCOPAZ.
- This profile brings together the profiles you created in steps 1 and 2. It also specifies which flexible planning version corresponds to which CO-PA version. This profile is used by both Flexible Planning and CO-PA. It can be used to copy data in both directions. However, we are here describing the transfer of data from Flexible Planning to CO-PA. Therefore, the flexible planning version is the source version and the CO-PA version is the target version.
- Create a mass processing activity. Enter COPA as the action and the name of the profile you created in step 3 as the CO-PA profile. The future periods of the planning type you enter here define the planning horizon for which the data will be transferred.
- Create a mass processing job with a variant. The activity is the one you created in step 4.
- Schedule this mass processing job.
