Analyzing Profitability is a key task in any organization. It helps shed light on sales and profit information on various aspects of the market such as customers, geographic regions, product lines, and many more. There are several tools that can be used to analyze profitability in SAP, the most common being CO-PA (Controlling Profitability Analysis). However, many companies still resort to using spreadsheets and other manual methods (despite their plethora of issues) to accomplish this task. Is your company using the system to effectively analyze its profitability data?

Attend this live Q&A with Paul Ovigele, FICO Expert and Founder of ERPfixers, and Janet Salmon, Chief Product Owner for Management Accounting at SAP, where you can ask your most pressing questions, such as:

  • Can we use costing and account based CO-PA simultaneously?
  • What are the S/4 HANA implications of using CO-PA?
  • Is there an easy way of ensuring that CO-PA reconciles with the general ledger?
  • How do we do allocations within CO-PA?
  • Is there an advantage of using CO-PA over PCA (Profit Center Accounting) for Profitability Analysis?
  • What is the Top-Down Distribution in CO-PA and when should we use it?
