In this activity, you specify which fields of an SAP BW query are to be set in which fields of a CO-PA operating concern during the data transfer. You also have the option of specifying the field assignment for the entire BW system, that is, for all queries. In this way, you reduce the amount of maintenance required if an assignment is to remain identical for each query. If an assignment has been specified for a field at the system level and at the query level, the detailed assignment at the query level is applied.

To implement additional functions, such as mapping BW master data onto CO-PA master data or postprocessing the query data, you can use the SAP enhancement COPA00RE in the ERP system and the customer enhancement for external data transfer COPA0007.

Example

Requirements

  • The query must be RFC-enabled. In other words, the Release for OLE DB for OLAP indicator must be set.
  • The query can contain no more than one structure.
  • The user for the RFC connection to the BW system must be of user type 'dialog' or 'service', because otherwise the input help for the queries will not work.

Standard settings

Recommendation

Activities

  1. From the available RFC systems, select the BW system from which the data is to be transferred.
  2. Select the query from which the data is to be transferred.
  3. In the details screen, you can assign BW objects to CO-PA fields. BW objects are as follows:
    • All info objects for the query,
    • Formulas that are defined in the query,
    • All attributes of the info objects, as well as
    • The info objects that define a restriction to a key figure; the condition for this is that the restriction does not consist of a single value.

      Filter values that are defined in the query are not contained. It is not possible to assign these values.

      On the CO-PA side, you find all the characteristics, value fields, quantity fields as well as some technical fields (such as the posting date) for the operating concern.

      The currencies and quantity units belonging to the fields are assigned automatically. During the transfer, the period is interpreted according to the fiscal year variant.

  4. If a value cannot or should not be transferred, you can enter a fixed value for a CO-PA field. This can be necessary, for example, for the mandatory field company code if this field does not exist in the query and cannot be determined during characteristic derivation.
  5. For the field assignment described above for the entire BW system, you can use all the info objects from the BW system and all fields from the operating concern. An assignment at this point is overridden by an assignment of the corresponding info object at the query level.
