SAP Note 35288 - Profitability Analysis: Technical Documentation

Component : Profitability Analysis - Structures

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/35288 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note addresses the need for technical documentation and optimization strategies for the CO-PA system, particularly concerning performance issues with table CE4xxxx during data posting. Root causes can be traced to the use of indexes in segment number identification when processing documents in Profitability Analysis. Optimal system performance requires efficient identification through selective use of secondary indexes which contain restrictive characteristics of the segment table. A preliminary release of related documentation will be included in the Release 3.0D CD, potentially applying to various releases as clarified in the documentation. Additionally, the information provides guidance on constructing selective indexes to support quick segment number determination and minimize the system load, especially under heavy posting scenarios or when managing hierarchical data levels.
