When you are using SAP Controlling Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), you know that mapping objects to value fields is the key to ensuring that the reports are complete and accurate. The standard scenario involves assigning amount fields, such as sales conditions, general ledger accounts, and production variances.
However, it is also important to map quantity fields, such as sales and production quantities, to value fields (which are set up with a quantity attribute in transaction KEA6). Most sales and contribution margin reports include these quantity values (for example, the Net Weight of products sold) to provide the appropriate context for the reported revenue and cost of sales figures.
There are three main areas where you can assign quantities to fields in CO-PA.

Previous Blog: SAP Activity Postings: Activity Types Overview
Let's start with activity type category 1 (manual entry, manual allocation) which is the most common. Activity types defined with this category post directly from a cost center to a receiver cost object.
Look at the definition of activity type CATEG1 as shown at the top in Figure 1. In this case, Actl Acty Type Cat. (Actual Activity Type Category) is blank, which means it is the same as the plan activity type category, or 1 in this example.

I recently used an interesting configuration in the valuation variant to value externally and intercompany purchased materials. My vertically integrated client has unique challenges.
They produce almost every raw material used in their finished goods, including packaging and machinery. The number of intercompany purchases is massive, and we needed a sustainable way to value purchased items and reference the purchasing conditions for intercompany markups and other charges like freight and shipping labor.
This configuration is a multi-step process, but it's fairly simple when all the pieces are configured correctly.
