This blog has inspired me to choose the best way to upgrade my skill using SAP training.
Hi Ulrich,
this is a perfect overview for this topic - great work.
It might also be useful to describe how Custom Objects can be used to store master data values in Code Lists which can then be used for derivation in the Custom Logic. Furthermore, a blog that describes the existing CO-PA characteristics in S/4HANA Cloud (like Product Group and Customer Group) and also the ones that are NOT available yet (like Product Hierarchy) would be helpful in my opinion.
Hi Maximilian,
thanks for the feedback - I will discuss it with the team. We are currently preparing a new blog on market segment reporting based on flexible profit center hierarchies which is very relevant for prof. service and CRM service industries in SAP S/4HANA Cloud.
Hi Ulrich,
thanks for the very helpful overview. Do you have any further information regarding the Product Hierarchy in CO-PA reporting? Is there any recommendation?
Many thanks in advance.
Best Regards
Yahui
