Sales Reporting:
CO-PA lets you analyze the profitability of segments of your market segments structured according to products, customers, orders, and summarizations of these and other characteristics as well as organizational units such as company codes or business areas. The aim is to provide your sales, marketing, planning, and management organizations with decision-support from a market-oriented viewpoint.
Responsibility Reporting:
EC-PCA lets you analyze internal profit and loss for profit centers. This makes it possible for you to evaluate different areas or units within your company. You can structure profit centers according to region (branch offices, plants), function (production, sales), or product (product ranges, divisions). Profit Center Accounting is a component of the module "Enterprise Controlling".
为了让英文不好的同学看明白,我在解释一下。
PA更多与聚焦于外部。他是让你通过获利段去分析你的各种维度,如产品线、市场、订单和客户等待。他更多的是在销售上提供了很多的分析功能。同时也能在市场源头的视角去分析问题。
PCA更过的是聚焦于内部。他是让你分析利润中心的损益。可以区分出不同的业务和单元。当然,你也可以根据功能后产品等等。利润中心的损益表是可以出具的,不想PA那样还需要增加相关的设置。
思考:PA如何出具损益表?如果PA要出具损益表需要增加相关的获利段(系统本身的只有收入和成本),也据是说在毛利之前的部门是可以提供的,当然,期间费需要我们自己来设定相关的获利段来实现。这两种做法都是可以实现目的。但是PA显得更灵活一些。PCA可以生成利润中心会计凭证可追溯。如果明白这些,我想,对于ABAP人员开发财务报表也是很有益处的。
