Con­trol­ling Prof­itabil­i­ty Analy­sis (CO-PA) is a great tool for ana­lyz­ing finan­cial infor­ma­tion accord­ing to dif­fer­ent dimen­sions which affect an organization’s prof­itabil­i­ty. There are 2 major types of CO-PA, Cost­ing based and Account Based. There is also a lot of con­fu­sion about which one to use and the pros and cons of using one over the oth­er and which type of CO-PA is com­pat­i­ble with the Uni­ver­sal Jour­nal in S/4 HANA. Account based CO-PA has been improved in S/4HANA to offer more infor­ma­tion in real time than ever avail­able in the his­to­ry of SAP. The Uni­ver­sal Jour­nal now con­tains all account-based CO-PA data to meet most all report­ing requirements.

Attend this live Q&A with FI/CO experts Mar­jorie Wright and Paul Ovigele, to learn the following:

  • What is the dif­fer­ence between Cost­ing and Account Based CO-PA?
  • What are the advan­tages and dis­ad­van­tages of Cost­ing vs. Account Based CO-PA?
  • What are the impli­ca­tions of acti­vat­ing both types of CO-PA?
  • What are the steps to tran­si­tion from one type of CO-PA to the other?
  • Which type of CO-PA is com­pat­i­ble with the Uni­ver­sal Jour­nal in S/4 HANA?
  • How much CO-PA detail is now post­ed to the Uni­ver­sal Journal?
