- CO-PA extraction is an application specific generic extractor. Which can extract the data from profitability analysis application. In COPA the source is created on operating concern.
- Main the operating concern is the root node in controlling enterprise structure it is configured by CO consultant.
- when the operating concern is created system generates different tables i.e CE1(oc) / CE2(0c)
CE3(oc) / CE4(oc) related to controlling all the data is updated to these tables. - In COPA the data is similar to InfoCube data like char values nothing but Char , value fields , nothing but KeyFigures.
- In COPA the data is not directly posted by the Business, it is indirectly updated from other applications.
- In COPA the data is Divided into w
Planed Data
Actual Data - It is indicated by column called value type.
Value type ---- 10 actual's

STEPS TO CREATE CO-PA EXTRACTIONS :
IN ECC SYSTEM :
1. Create the CO-PA DataSource
Go to Tcode : KEB0
Naming convention for CO-PA extraction : 1_CO_PA(client)(oc)
There are 2 type of COPA DATA Sources.
(a) Costing based : If it is costing based it colds both actual and planed values , for variant
analysis.
Product based companies used costing based DataSource.
(b) Account Based : It holds only actual's , for external reporting secure based organisation , use to follow Account based Approach.
2. Check the Extractor ---- RSA3
IN BW/BI SYSTEM :
3. Replicate The DataSource and Activate the DataSource -----> Tcode : RSDS
4. Create InfoPackage -----> Initialization / deltas.
5. Create Data Target --- > InfoCube , DSO ...
6. Create Transformation.
7. Create Data Transfer Process.
