Margin Analysis (Account-Based COPA):

1. Account-Based COPA in S/4 HANA:
   • Covers value flows for margin analysis in account-based Profitability Analysis.
   • Includes split accounting of Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and price differences.
2. Predictive Accounting:
   • Involves using historical data and predictive analytics to estimate future profitability.
   • Focuses on incoming sales orders and creating extension ledgers for predictive accounting.
3. S/4 HANA Real-Time COPA:
   • Allows for real-time margin analysis without periodic settlement jobs.
   • Highlights the benefits and processes involved.
4. Attributed Profitability:
   • Involves deriving profitability information for items without profitability segments.
