This function helps you to create useful summarization levels. It logs and analyzes the callup of CO-PA transaction data, such as report calls. The system then uses this information to suggest summarization levels that optimize all callups.

To activate/deactivate the logging function for an operating concern in one of the types of Profitability Analysis (costing-based or account-based), you can use the Log setting pushbutton.

There are two kinds of proposal:

  • An "enhancement" proposal that considers existing levels
  • A "replacement" proposal that does not consider existing levels

Output

The system displays an overview of the suggested summarization levels and the characteristics they contain. The levels are built upon one another and are arranged so that the first level is the one that produces the best optimization for callups. If you do not wish to use all the suggested levels, you should delete the last in the list but never the first. The proposal ceases to make sense if the first level is deleted.

You can create the levels directly from the overview.

Example

Requirements

To guarantee that appropriate summarization levels are put forward for the way in which they are to be used productively, the user behavior to serve as the typical sample should be genuine. In other words, you need to perform this function in a productiv operating concern where genuine reports have already been carried out. The log data in the test system is generally not representative of user behavior in the productive system.

Recommendation

Activities

  1. Specify which type of proposal is to be created and what period should be considered in order to analyze user behavior (that is, the way transaction data is called up). You should specify a period in which all relevant reports have been executed.
  2. Carry out the function in the background. Then display the result afterwards using the pushbutton Display last proposal.
  3. From the proposal display, you can create the suggested summarization levels directly by using Create levels.
  4. Before these summarization can be accessed (such as when reports are called up), you need to fill the levels with data. You do this in the CO-PA menu by choosing Tools -> Summarization levels -> Update and then by selecting the option Build new levels.
  5. When you have created the summarization levels suggested by a replacement proposal, you should then delete the old summarization levels. You do this in Customizing by choosing Define Summarization Levels.

Further notes

If the enhancement proposal does not suggest any new levels, and it still takes too long to execute a report, you should change your reports.
