For End Users, Key Users, Beginners, and Consultants
Preface
Welcome to your comprehensive journey into SAP S/4HANA Profitability Analysis (CO-PA). This guide is designed for a diverse audience, from a business user who wants to understand where profits come from, to a key user responsible for master data, and an SAP consultant tasked with configuring the system.
We will demystify CO-PA by transforming complex technical configurations into a logical, end-to-end business process flow. We will build a fictional company, Global Components Inc. (GCI), and follow its operations from master data creation through sales, manufacturing, and financial reporting to see CO-PA in action.
This guide will:
Explain Core Concepts: Understand the “why” behind CO-PA and its key components.Provide “How-To” Instructions: Walk through critical configuration and business user transactions.Integrate Business Processes: Show how data flows from Sales (SD), Materials Management (MM), Production (PP), Logistics (LE), and Finance (FI) into CO-PA.Offer Practical Examples: Use our company, GCI, to illustrate every step with realistic data.Include a Full Test Plan: Provide detailed test scenarios for you to practice and validate your understanding and system configuration.Focus on Modern SAP: Reference modern SAP Fiori applications alongside traditional SAP GUI transactions.
Let’s begin exploring how to turn raw business data into actionable profitability insights.
