Activity types with zero prices.

Hello all
I'm trying to to assign a cost centre to a work centre. I understand that we need to do the activity type price planning for the cost centre before we assign it to the work centres.
The situation is, the activivty types are not planned for few cost centres and the prices are not determined yet for those activity types for those cost centres for the moment. I'm trying to do lsmw to load work centres and it would not let me assign those cost centres as there is no activity type price planning done for those cost centres.
Is there any way that we can create these work centres and assign them to cost centres without actually doing any planning for the activity types.?
Many thanks

They need to have prices. Maintain 0.01 just so that you can load your master data.
Subsequently you can go back and change them to the prices they should be.

Hi,
If yours is a Free Goods Scenario. Then Mark the Free Item Tab ( Next to Returns) in the Purchase Order detail tab.
Now you can create a Purchase order with Zero Price. By the time GR thru. 511 Mov. Type (Material receipt with out charge) you can receive the material.

Activity Type with cost elements

Hi,
I'm trying to find out whether it is possible to connect activity types with a group or range of cost elements, which should be allocated using activity allocation.
I don't want to allocate all costs gathered on Cost Center, but only a range of cost elements. Can I achieve that using direct activity allocation and if it's possible, how can I do it?
Best wishes,
Karol

Hi Karol,
It is possible to link the cost elements to the activity using the splitting structure in the SPRO of cost center accounting.
First the costs are debited to other cost centers using the plan activity type. At the end of the period when you calculate the actual price of the activity then based on the cost element range assigned to the activity in the splitting structure the actual cost of the cost elements are debited through the activity.
I hope it is clear now.

Activity Type with no dollars.

We have a situation where we would like to charge hours quantity to a project but we don't want to pull any dollars into the project based on the hours. The dollars will be charged directly off Vendor Invoices. I thought that using Category 4 Activity Types could accomplish this zero charge but we ran into problems not being able to allocate Cat. 4 Activity Type. Does anyone know how to get hours charged into a project without pulling in dollars as well. You help would be apreciated.

Here is what I have ocnfigured:
Activity "CONLAB" for contract labor is set up with the following fields populated-
Activity Unit = H
CCtr categories = 8
AtypCategory = 4
Every thing else is blank. When I attempt to set this up on the project I get the following error message -
Activity CONLAB cannot be allocated to 2009
      Message No KL008
Diagnosis
     Activity type CONLAB was planned in fiscal year 2009 as non-allocatable. That means other objects cannot input any activity through this activity type.
System Response
     No activity input can be posted
Procedure
     Choose an activity type.
We need to plan these statistical hours but it's not letting us track them in the Project. I sure hope someone has an idea on how to fix this.

Linking activity types with routings

Hi,
We have several work centres in one production line. But in costing side we have only one cost centre for one production line.If we use common activity types for all these work centres and if update the common activity rate in cost centre, how we are to differentiate costs among different work centres in same production line.
Please advice.
Regards,
Madhushika

Dear ,
What I understood from your requirement is that you have multiple work centre having same Activity Rate-Activity Type , Same Production Cost Centre .In that case you need to analysise Work Centre Wise operation cost or Operation wise cost at that Work Centre level . Basically , this should be differentiated at operation level based on the Standrad Values , total duration ( setup , machine , labout hrs ) , Formula Key invloved .
From reporting point of view , if you goto -COOIS -Operation -Standrad Profile with Order Type , Plant code and exceute then it will display with Operation Timings as well as if you can goto Select Layout-Change Lay out option -You can choose Price , Costing Variant for same cost centre with different Work Centre and operation combination .
You can check the same in COHV , CO02-Production Order Header-Costing -Cost Analysis -Itemisiton -Orgin Group
Hope this will give some idea

Creation of PO with Zero Price

Dear Experts,
I need to craete a PO with 0 Price (Free of Cost). But I will be charged only for the transportation.
Example I am creating a PO for 1000 TON of Material. Free of Cost. For delivering 1000 TON 100 delivery will be required. Transportation charge for each delivery = 150
So I should be charged for only 100 * 150 = 15000.
How to do this in SAP.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can post Transportation charge related to separate G/L account in MIRO.
Active "G/L account' TAB in the MIRO screen to post COST by selecting check box of "Direct posting to G/L account=active" & then save, in the following path
SPRO> Material Management>Logistics Invoice Verification->Incoming Invoice->Activate Direct Posting to G/L Accounts and Material Account
OR.
Post Transportation charge related in t.code:FB60.

Multiple Activity Types with one Production Cost Centers

Dear Experts,
I have One Cost Center 2 Activity typesu2026I can plan in kp06 in single shot thatu2026
1Ctr-1ActvtyRs.100 and 1Ctr-2Actvty----Rs.200u2026.(Same Cost Elements)
Here my confusion is while doing actual posting we can post cost element to Cost Center i.e.Rs.300 to 1Ctr.
Here how I can map that 100 belongs to 1Activity and Rs.200 belongs to 2Activity because there is only cost center.
I know that solution is simple we can maintain separate cost center for both activity types i.e 1 to 1 mapping of cost center to Activityu2026So Actual posting weu2019ll be fineu2026.
Then what is use of Kp26 to maintain 1 cost center to multiple activity types?
Kindlyu2026..Clear my problemu2026

Balaji Bhonsle.

Hi Balaji
You have pointed out a valid concern.. There is a solution to it as well, however, very cumbersome and less practical
In OKKP - You allow some control indicators i.e. CCA, IO, PCA, COPA, etc.. Here, you need to allow Activity Type as Addiitional Account Assignment Object.... (This is below Cost Center Accounting)
While booking expenses from FI, you can specify the Act TYpe along with the cost center... Provided you have that much patience and it is identifiable....
Also, you can assign act type in Asset MAster so that while posting depreciation in AFAB, the same gets assigned to Act Type

I've got a question.
It is very simple. I have a database table with a numc4 type field.
I want the field to store data with zeros, so if a go to SM30 and type: 1 for that field,
the stored value should be 0001, not 1.
Is there any way???
Thanks

Hi,
If it is custom table..
Then go to SE51
Give the program name -> SAPL + "Function group used to generate the screen".
Give the screen number..
Press change..
Go to the layout..
In the input field attributes for that NUMC field...Set the flag "LEADING ZEROES".
Activate the screen..
Then go to SM30..
Give 1 in the numc field and then press enter..You will see 0001

Replacement with zero price

Something went wrong to the system of my client and they reloaded old configuration from QA to PRD server.
Situation before the system crash:
When you create a "replacement" order, the price of the item is "automatically" zero. It allows zero cost of material.
Current situation:
When you create a "replacement" order, the price of the item is blank and it wont allow you to give zero value.
What should I check to put back the original configuration? Please help. Forgive me. I am new to SD.

Hi Anwar
Following is the standard process:
VOV8 Sales order type: Copy of SD / KN - The sales document category - I , document pricing procedure - C, delivery type - LF, No billing type
VOV4 Item category determination : SD+NORM=KLN
VOV7 Item category definition : copy of KLN- Not relevant for pricing/Pricing for free goods & Not relevant for billing
OVKK Pricing procedure determination: Sales org + Dist Channel + Div + Doc Pr procedure (C) + Customer Pricing Procedure = Copy of RVCA01/RVCA02. define this procedure as per your requirement in V/08 and get it determined here.
VTAA - Copy Control from RE to SD and OR to SD in standard: Item Category proposal KLN and Pricing type B So that it will redetermine price with your SDF pricing procedure.
Regarding your error:
Check what pricing procedure is getting determined in OVKK and See the error condition type is marked as mandatory. Put a screenshot of your SDF pricing procedure for better understanding...

Sales Order with zero price.

Hi,
                               I am creating sales order using the bapi 'BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2' .For some materials we have condition type 'ZR00' and amount 0.00 per 1 unit. The problem is when i create sales order, in item conditions it shows zero amount. How can I pass ZR00 price value through BAPI.?i.e i mean to oerwrite the value in Vk13.
Regards,
Vinsa.R

HI Vinsar
Make use of tables: ORDER_CONDITIONS_IN and ORDER_CONDITIONS_INX of the BAPI.
Required paramters to be passed for the structures:
<b>ORDER_CONDITIONS_IN</b>
--ITM_NUMBER --> Item Number Eg: 000010
COND_TYPE -> Condition Type(ZR00)
COND_VALUE -> Amount
<b>ORDER_CONDITIONS_INX</b>
-- ITM_NUMBER -> Item Number(000010)
   COND_TYPE -> Cond Type(ZR00)
   UPDATEFLAG -> 'I'
   COND_VALUE -> 'X'
Hope the info helps you.

Problems creating a PO with zero price items.

Hi.
We have SRM 4.0 (SRM_SERVER 5.00 level 13).
From the catalog I add 1 item to the shopping cart with price 0.00 per 1 item.
We use 'BBP_SC_TRANSFER_GROUPED' to group the SC items.
When running this program, I can debug in the DOC_CHANGE BAdI - here the value for IR_IND & GR_IND is blank.
However, when the program ends, we end up with a message BBP_PD 445 "Enter the price or set the follow-on document indicator" with long text "Enter a price for the material item or ensure that the follow-on document indicators 'Invoice expected' and 'Confirmation-related invoice verification' are not flagged.".
Does anyone know where to maintain these indicators?
Thanks in advance!

Fixed and variable prices of an activity type understanding

Hi,
To my understanding the fixed portion of the price will not be multiplied by the quantity and the variable price will be. However, i tested the cost estimates and it looks like both the fixed price and variable price is summed up together to get the total price and this total price is multiplied with the quantity.
In this case what is the purpose of having fixed price and variable price in the activity type?

Fixed price, is the fixed costs - I usually see it in relation to Overhead..
Fixed costs remain, whether you manufacutre or not.
Say you are deciding whether to out-source an assembly, If you outsource, VARIABLE cost will be saved, Material, labor for that assembly, Overhead representing fringes for that labor, the electricity to run that specific machine. However, you will still have fixed costs of: Management Salary (although some of that can be variable); insurance on the building; heating and cooling for the building; realestate taxes.
If the cost to make "in house" is 150 each and the vendor is going to charge you 100, thi is only a true saving if your fixed costs are less than 50.
SAP allows you to separate fixed and variable costs so that you do make/buy analysis, budgeting, etc
Hope this helps

Activity type issue

Hi Experts
We have maintained new P exchange rates ( USD >> AUD)yesetday with validity form October 2009. During the costing run today we've noticed that the activity types are not consideriing the latest rate for calculation (completed KP26 with period 1 to 12 for 2009).
Please advice me why this is happening? Are we missing anything here.
Thanks in advance.

Hi PK,
The title of your issue is rather confusing with what you did with your system because when you do Costing run or product costing, the system do the calculation of your product/products based on Costing variant assigned to the product in which plant the product is calculated.
You have to be aware of the function of Costing variant. The costing variant contain all the rule and parameter of how the system get the prices of your materials in the BOM and how the price of activity types are calculated in the Routing. For the point of activity type you need to check what strategies are determined in the valuation variant which is assigned in the Costing run. Please check by following menu path at IMG/Spro:
Controlling> Product Cost Controlling>Product Cost Planning> Material Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure>Define Costing Variants.
Once you get costing variant which is used in the Costing run/Product costing, then check the valuation variant assigned. Go to detail of valuation variant. The valuation variant determine of how the system get the prices as mentioned above.
Let's get back to your issue and what you did in the system. Changing the P exhange rate has nothing to do your costing run directly, especially for activity type. The price of activity type is defined by the "planning activity output price (t-code KP26) and based on strategy defined at "Activity types/Processes" tab in the valuation variant. Is it using "Plan price as average of all fiscal year period" or any other strategy priority defined for the activity types. I don't think you do planning the cost of cost center using foreign currency.
The only possibility of how your exchange rate change would affect your cost calculation if your materials are procured in foreign currency and if material valuation strategy in the valuation variant use the first priority "L" Price from purchasing info record". If the price defined in the "Material Val" tab are others than mentioned above, your change in E/R would not affect your costing run/Product costing.
Hope this help your understanding of how costing variant and valuation run better.
Best regards,
Irhasni
