Use
In this activity, for each operating concern, you define the characteristics for the update in the profitability analysis (CO-PA). The table is used to derive the characteristics when you post the IDoc characteristic data. The external billing system transfers the characteristic values to the application in the IDoc category FKK_EBS_TOI_COPA or FKK_EBS_DOC in segment E1FKK_EBS_TOI_COPA or E1FKK_EBS_DOC_COPAITEM. If the characteristic values cannot be provided via the IDoc interface, you can determine the value using a function module at runtime.
Note that if you use message type FKK_EBS_DOC, no internal characteristic derivation is possible.
Note
The larger the number of characteristics used, the finer is the differentiation of the data in CO-PA. However, this also increases the number of database accesses to CO-PA tables. In turn, this increases the runtime of the program and the memory requirements. You should therefore only use the characteristics that you need for differentiation later.
