SAP Note 33968 - SD/CO-PA: Characteristics from sales doc tables

Component : Profitability Analysis -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/33968 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP note addresses issues related to deriving characteristics for Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) from sales document tables (VBKD, VBAK, VBAP) in SAP systems release 4.0A and later. Challenges arise when using master data tables (KNVV or MARA) as the derivation source, which conflicts with user attempts to derive from sales tables directly. The note also discusses the limitation in updating CO-PA characteristics when creating sales orders or changing fields outside the coding block. Solutions include maintaining customizing settings through transactions like KE4K and KEDR, and managing corresponding entries in the derivation table TKEAN or TKEZU for proper alignment between sales document data and CO-PA characteristics.
