With enhancement package 6, SAP has done some renovation work to a number of CO planning functions as well as master data maintenance. These functions are accessible via the NetWeaver Business Client as well of the Analysis Client which virtually provides a means of uploading plan data from Excel. The following transactions are affected by the renovation: - Primary cost planning for cost centers and projects - Overall cost planning- Activity planning - Master data maintenance for cost centers etc. The new transactions do not only provide a new look-and-feel; with the integration of BW-IP (Integrated Planning) functionality into SAP ERP, you can also show actual figures as well as historical plan data in your planning sheets. This functionality is brand new and has only been implemented for a few SAP clients. This book will provide a visual impression of the improved planning and maintenance transactions,with both screenshots and videos.

This practical manual guides you step by step through the flows of actual values into SAP Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) and the forms these flows take in S/4HANA, including the account-based CO-PA required there. The book presents the technical prerequisites and changes that SAP S/4HANA brings compared to the previous product, ERP, and discusses whether there is any truth in rumors such as “The Controlling module will no longer exist.” Using a simple, continuous example, the authors, who have many years of experience with SAP Controlling, illustrate how an SAP value flow progresses through the individual stages of the process: from a sales order, through production, right up to the issue of goods and invoicing. The book shows where you will find these values at each respective point in time in Financials (FI) and Controlling (CO). The authors explain both the business and the SAP technical view in detail and highlight the benefits of the innovative approach under S/4HANA, now known under the new name of “SAP Margin Analysis.” Furthermore, the book delivers a plea for CO-PA to be used as a tool for sales management — a tool that allows the widest possible variety of business analyses.

- Value flows based on the logistical sales and production process
- Comparison of costing-based and account-based CO-PA
- Presentation of the changes in the value flow compared to SAP ERP
- Continuous numerical example right up to closing activities
