7.12 SUMMARIZATION LEVELS IN CO-PA 283
FIGURE 7.8 CO-PA reporting error
To avoid these messages and increase system performance, you have to
build a summarization level following these steps:
1. Create Automatic Proposal for Summarization Levels (T-code
KEDVP) : In this step, the data system will propose new summarization
levels according to CO-PA usage. SAP R/3 allows you to create up to 5,000
summarization levels.
2. Define/Change Summarization Levels (T-code KEDV) : Once
summarization levels are proposed, you can change the attributes of the
summarization level in this step. The summarization level status will be
active without data.
3. Build Summarization Levels (T-code KEDU) : Once you build your
summarization level, you need to populate it with data. The summarization
level holds historical data; to use it properly, you need to execute this
transaction at the proper interval to populate the summarization level with
recent data.
