Planning in COPA SAPPlanning in COPA can be made at various
levels. SAP allows to plan:1- By manually inputting figures for
segments. You need to create planning layout in KE14, this can be
used then in KEPM (Planning framework).2- By manually inputting
Sales Quantity only, and rest of valuation would be done using
valuation strategy as configured in IMG (KE4U) & Revenue would
be planned using costing sheets.
First method is quite straightforward; where there is a lot of
manipulation of data, as required. However in second method; only
quantity is planned; rest of valuation is done automatically.For
second method it is required to configure in different areas in IMG
to work, below is detailed working step wise:
Manual & Automatic Planning (Point of Valuation 03 & 04)
in COPAIn IMG; assign valuation strategy to point of valuation
(Transaction code: KE4U)
Input Point of Valuation 03 (manual planning) & 04
(automatic planning) against version, where you want to valuate
your planning data.
In IMG: Select "Assign costing keys to Material Types" in order
to assign point of valuation (03 & 04) & to relevant
material type (Transaction Code: KE4J):
Input point of valuation 03 & 04 for record type F "Billing
Data" against material types relevant for costing (say FERT &
HALB) for relevant plan version.
In IMG: Select "Assign value fields" in order to assign Point of
Valuation (03 & 04) to cost component structure (Transaction
Code: KE4R):
Input Point of Valuation 03 & 04 for all cost components,
for which you want to valuate planning data.
In IMG: Check "Valuation Simulation" to verify the configuration
made in above steps (Transaction Code: KE21S):
Select any posting date; Record Type "F", point of valuation 03
0r 04 & version for which you are planning your data.
Input Parameters in Selection Screen (e.g Company Code, Product
& Plant etc)
Input Sales Quantity with unit of measure & click on
valuation icon above
You can see the results in level 2 under After valuation; that
means valuation is done successfully.
For automatic valuation, you need to tick automatic valuation
option in planning framework (tcode KEPM). Whenever you would plan
data in this framework; it would be automatically valuated.
Maintain COPA Costing Sheets for Sales Revenue Planning You have
two options regarding costing sheets; either you use costing sheet
created in SD or you create in COPA.In order to create Costing
Sheet in COPA; Please follow following steps:
In IMG: select condition tables; condition tables are used to
identify fields, for which you want to plan data i.e. Sales Revenue
or Deductions/Surcharge or other cost segments.(Transaction Code:
KE4A)
Enter Code for table between 501 & 999
Select fields (Characteristics) by double clicking
In IMG: Select Access Sequence for table created above
Please be aware that! Creation of Access Sequence is Cross
Client Activity.
Create Access Sequence and define accesses for same
Enter table created above.
Here you can see fields selected in table
In IMG: Select Condition Types and Costing Sheets to create
condition parameters and condition records for costing sheet
(pricing procedure)
Click on Create button () under condition types menu (on left
side) & give condition type & its description (on right
side).Choose Access Sequence created in previous step.
Select Prices in Definition of Condition Type
Select Price with change in Quantity in Prices options:
Click on Records for Condition Type to enter planning data
Enter Planned Data in form
Now click on Create Button under Pricing Procedure Menu to
create costing sheet
Enter relevant name for Pricing Procedure & Description and
input condition type created above in table below
In IMG: Select Define and Assign Valuation Strategy in IMG menu
to assign costing sheet to valuation strategy
Input Costing Sheet against Application Class "KE", however if
you want to use costing sheet from SD, you will assign same against
Application Class "V".
In IMG: Select "Assing Value Field".For COPA costing sheet, you
have to assign condition type to value field
Input Value Field against Condition Type here (Transaction Code:
KE45)
After all above settings; simulation can be checked to verify
results (Transaction Code: KE21S)
Select any posting date; Record Type "F", point of valuation 03
0r 04 & version for which you are developing planned data.
Input Parameters; i.e. Company Code & Product/Plant
Input Quantity with Unit of measure & Click on valuation
A new line has been generated in valuation analysis with
valuation method "Costing Sheet", please click on analysis icon to
check results
For Amount planned for product, you can see revenue
calculated:
Under Results of Valuation you can see assignment of condition
type against value field.
You can maintain table fields; for faster/most granulated input
(Transaction Code: KE4A)
You can enter condition records (say planned price) using
transaction code KE41.
Please use KE42 to change & KE43 to display planned
inputs.
