In this IMG activity, you define the characteristics for the update for each operating concern. This table is also used for the characteristic derivation for posting according to posting date. You can define whether a characteristic is used for posting according to posting date and/or for posting according to consumption month, by using the Use of Characteristics in CO-PA field.
It makes sense to use one characteristic only for both postings, because the number of characteristics affects performance. The more characteristics you create, the finer the differentiation of data in CO-PA. The number of database accesses to CO-PA tables increases accordingly. This increases the runtime of programs and memory space requirements. You should not use a large number of characteristics without first checking whether you later require the differentiation according to these characteristics.
