schemesandinaccount-basedCO-PAusinginverseformulae
• Explore other manual planning features
Business Example
The management of your company would like to implement a profitability
accounting application in the SAP system. As a member of the project team,
youaresupposedtoadviseonthequestionofwhether toimplementCO-PAor
EC-PCA in the SAP system. You then will be responsible to implement the

moduletoplanthesalesofthetwomainproductlinesofthecompany,bicycles
and motorcycles. Sam wants to plan his sales by customer and product. He
wants toplanthe salesquantities and selling prices for each customer/product
combination, and heexpectsthesystemto calculate the planned revenuefrom
the results. Randy wantsto plan his sales by product group and then he wants
to usethesystem to automatically distribute theplanned values tothe product
level using a reasonable allocation basis. Mr. Miller is only interested in the
planquantityandtheplanrevenues. Theproductmanagerwouldliketoperform
