Fiscal year independent Activity price determination

Hi,
I have a question regarding the activity prices in Controlling.
We have a activity price plan(KP26 transaction) which is same every year. We do not want to copy this price every year . Is there a way to get this price for any year. Currently system gets the error KL023 'no control record for activity type controlling area/ cost center/ activity type in version 0000/ fiscal year activity planning /quantity planning.
Configuration also does not allow to eliminate/control KL type messages.
We have the activity type defined as follows.
1. Activity category as 1. manual entry manual allocation
2. Price category as 3. Determined manually
Best regards
Deepak

Hi,
Activity price in kp26 is used to valuate the production orders activity confirmation.
Plan Price in KP26 should be updated every month as per standard business practice.
If your business scenario does not necessiate the same than its fine.
Changing the same in the middle of the year is no such problem depending upon business scenario.

Divraj

Activity prices maintained manually..Is KSII/MFN1 possible?

Hi Experts,
We have this scenario:
1. Activity prices are entered manually in KP26.
2. All Costs are maintained as Activity independent costs.
3. For Production Cost centers, some costs (primary costs) are Activity relevant and others not relevant at all for Activity.
4. No Splitting structure maintained so far.
Now, we are considering calculating Actual Activity prices through KSII and then MFN1 for revaluating Process orders.
I tried KSII in our test system, where I got the following error message # KP211. I even tried by maintaining the Actual Activity type category '01' and Actual price indicator '05' in AT master, but no luck.
Short Text
All activity prices are manually entered
Diagnosis
All activity prices in controlling area , fiscal year , and version were determined and set as manually entered prices.
In actual price calculation, all plan activity prices, meaning those calculated automatically (activity price indicator 1 and 2) and those set manually (activity price indicator 3), are treated as if they have been set manually.
System Response
The SAP System cannot calculate activity prices automatically.
Processing is cancelled.
Procedure
Check your activity type planning. To calculate the activity price automatically, you must set the activity price indicator accordingly.
Proceed
Questions:
1.Given our case, is it possible to do KSII/MFN1? If yes, what configuration and master setup is required?
2. What accounting/CO entry posted MFN1. Especially, want to know if value also posted to CO-PA?
Thanks much for your time.
SC

Hi SC, 
 
sorry for my delay. 
 
Yes, you can process KSII even if you maintained planned activity prices manually. For this, the Activity type master should be activity price indicator "5" for Actual, hoever it's defalt value for planning (KP26). 
Could you check activity planning value in your period as follows; 
 
1. Go to transaction KP26 
2. Selection screen; 
 Set your version and year/period and also cost center/activity types in problem. 
 Push Next Layout button (Ctrl + F8) and set layout 1-204 (named "Control indicators"). 
3. Push "Overview screen" (F5) 
 
You can see plan price indicator and also ACTUAL price indicator, so you have to check if actual price indicator is not "7" or "Blank". If not, please set it with value "5" or "6". 
Hope you can understand what I wrote above, but if you have any queries, please feel free to ask me. 
 
Additonaly about your question regarding "activity independent" cost planning 
In F1 help document for field "Equivalence Numbers", there're useful description how activity-independent costs allocates activity type and activity prices calculates. If you do not use cost split or activity-depend planning, you can process activity price calculation by "Equivalence Numbers". it's easy-way to allocate cost to each activity type. you can see this field also in KP26 with layout 1-201 (sample) 
the following passage from field "Equivalence Numbers" F1 document. 
 
- Equivalence Numbers 
Weighting factor for distribution of activity-independent plan costs of a cost center onto the available activity types. 
- Use 
This field group serves to weight the activity types created in a cost center. After weighting, the activity-independent plan costs of a cost center are distributed onto the available activity types. 
-Procedure 
If you want to change or create equivalence numbers in planning, this field must be defined in the planning layout. If this field is not defined, any existing equivalence numbers will be displayed, but they cannot be changed. 
Examples 
You have planned the following activity types for cost center 4420: 
Activ. type Plan quantity Equiv. nr. 
 
FST 400 hrs 3 
REP 50 hrs 1 
RST 20 hrs 1 
 
 Total: 5 
This cost center has planned activity-independent costs worth $20,000 . These costs are distributed according to activity price calculation onto the iteratively calculated activity prices (cost rates) of the activity types: 
ATyp Fixed costs Fixed portion of activ. price 
 
FST 20,000 X 3/5 = 12,000 $12,000 / 400 hrs = 30 $/hr 
REP 20,000 X 1/5 = 4,000 $4,000 / 50 hrs = 80 $/hr 
RST 20,000 X 1/5 = 4,000 $4,000 / 20 hrs = 200 $/hr

This only experienced in production, but in Develoment and QAS the function is working properly.

Error in the price determination procedure in the Delivey NL

Hi Gurus,
I'm working in a project and the customer wants the delivery note with value. Then I have activated the Price determination procedure for the delivery NL ( deliveries to transport material between plants ) and the determination doesn't work correctly, The conditions doesn't appears but if you push "analisys" and you check the conditions PR02 and MWST, the condtions record are determined but not printed in the document.
It print the following message:This message tells you that the condition record exists, but has not been set in the document...
Some ideas?? thanks in advance for your help
Francisco Javier Fernandez

Hello,
Solved, in the customizing, you need check if the price determination procedure for the item category NLN is active, how?? spro>sales>basic functions>pricing>pricing control>define pricing by itgem category.
Check if your item category NLN have "x" Active price determination procedure.
Is nothing related with the reference to a PO, or copy rules...

Material ledger Price determination change

For the FERT materials - we have material ledger active, price determination 2 and price control S setup as of now. We have the standard cost for the group and Moving average is calculated for information purposes - now we want the moving average to be periodic.
I changed the price determiation from 2 to 3 in ML activation but had no impact.
My questions are:
1. Should we do this at the material level - so that moving avg does not get updated for each transaction and instead by period.
2. what are the steps/tcodes to be taken before and after changing the price determination. I understand we need to run ckmlcp - but need clarity on all the steps I have to do both from config and master data perspective.
3. Test script steps

Hi!
A+ 1st point. Other decision is when you do MMPV.
B+ I think its better do MMPV on 01/may before do CKMM, so in point iii, you close of April. If you do CKMM with MMPV active period April, ML will be active for March and April. Again this is just a personal point of view.
C+ Well, the procedure is correct, Keep in mind the following: The system consider in your scenario S2 > S3 as Actual Cost of April the value in the standard at the moment of CKMM, so the flow:
> CKMM > Release Standard> At the release, system create a price diff (UMB), that is part of your actual cost (initial of may). The value is the diff of your previews and new standard.
In the ML Close of april, UMB of MAY will be cleared and converted in PRY/PRV. If you want details of this, check Standard Cost Release with ML Active.
Its important you validate it, because if the system dont select this materials, UMB $$ will be part of your P&L account.
In the ML close of May, this value will be consider part of the actual of May.
D+ What will happen if the run (iii) above after point (i ) will the ML revaluation will have impact on the material changes to 3S.
The ML close of april have impact if you post (GM, IR, Settlement) for this materials on April. If this materials are produced, its common that you do the settlement of its order the 1 or 2nd day of may with posting date of april, but as i toldyou is a common procedure.
E+ Just thinking, Its a good idea you do the ML close for this materials in April (status set to 70)
If for any reason your ML close dont select them there are some workaround eg check this oss 1602599 - Additional selection options for selection
PS1. Wish this give you more ideas. This topic is interesting and difficult to explain, because have some `depends on`. Again, i recomend you test in your QAS system!
PS2. This post maybe give you other ideas Material Ledger Activation - Lot of Questions in startup.

"Activity type 420 1002 2393074 in the fiscal year 2010 not valid" PM03

We have an issue with the PM03 for the year 2010. "When the scheduler tries to schedule the pm..He gets an error "Activity type 420 1002 2393074 in the fiscal year 2010 not valid" The planner will close the work order then re-open it. The error will go away, but when the work order is scheduled there is 0 hours scheduled.. This will be a big issue if there are not any hours assigned to work orders.
Can you help me?
Thanks!

Davison,
Please maintain the prices for the activity type, Cost center combination for the fiscal year 2010 using transaction KP26. The log generally disappears after you save and leave the transaction. You will see the log again only when you reschedule the order and are in the same transaction.
Also check whether "scheduling" has been activated for the PM03 control key for scheduling to be taken into consideration for the operation.You can view the same by using the drop down for the control key on the transaction.

Activity prices are not matching compare to previous year

Dear Sap Guru's,
Activity prices are not matching for the year 09 compare to 08.But standard cost estimation is correct.how it is possible.can you guide me how system calculates activity prices.
Ex: My client having business in egypt.Last year they started thier business at this time activity prices are maintained for INDO OH :13.81, Labur 0.44 per Min plan price 1.It is common for whole year -08.
Now I copied the same activity prices for this year through kp97 by selecting object currency for both plan and cost.under planning currency tab.
Activity prices are showing for IND oh is 17.14 ; instead of 13.81 and labour it is showing 0.55 instead of 0.44.
Pls guide me.
Regards
KUMAR.

Hi,
guess you are using a controlling area currency (A) thats different from company code currency (B).
First check if the prerequisites within KP97 / button "planning currencies" are met when ticking "object currency" and using the F1-help especially the point
"It only makes sense to activate this indicator if you have activated all
currencies
1. when copying: in the source and target versions".
Whatever the reason is, your KP97 copy did the following thing:
For each CO area and plan version there are settings for each fiscal year to be made (IMG: Controlling / General Controlling / Organization / maintain versions, mark the relevant version choose "Controlling area settings", mark it again and choose "settings for ecah fiscal year".
Compare your 2 fiscal years, which exchange rate type (can be different, normally its "P") and value date (its often the first day of the new FY) is used?
If you have a difference in minimum one of the mentioned settings in CO version you might have different act. prices in comp. code currency.
Your KP97 process copied the values in controlling area currency (A) and converted this numbers to comp. code currency (B) based on your CO-version settings.

While activation of DSO error SID genarati No fiscal year variant specified

Hi all,
While activationg the DSO i am getting error called SIDgenaration " No fiscal year variant specified"
I have checked the PSA fiscal year variant is avilable..
How to solve this error please somebody let me know ASAP
Regards
Kiran

Hi.......
For some particular value of Fiscal variant it is failing............ in ODS activation.......in the log it will not show that value...........but if load fails due to SID issue then log generally shows the particular value.......
You load the master data for fiscal year varinat .........then activate it.......using program.......RSDDS_AGGREGATES_MAINTAIN..........then tepeat the ODS activation.......this is to run attribute change run.............you can also do it from RSA1........
You can also change the said settings in the above post..........but it should'nt done in PROD........

No fiscal year variant specified - error upon DSO activation

In my DSO I need 2 fiscal periods - document day period and payment day period. For the first I use 0FISCPER IObj, for the second I've created CFISCPER (with a reference characteristic 0FISCPER).
CFISCPER has 0FISCVARNT as compounding.
There some occasions then I got payment date, but no document date (prepayment cases). As a result I got NULL value on 0FISCVARNT and error "No fiscal year variant specified" upon activation.
I've tried to create CFISVAR (with a 0FISCVARNT as reference characteristic) but BI doesn't let me switch 0FISCVARNT to CFISVAR in compounding for CFISCPER.
How can I deal this? Maybe there is some option in DSO?
thanx in advance. points will be awarded

Hello,
If you have create payment day period(CFISCPER) as a reference to 0FISCPER, then Fiscal year variant's infomation must be provided.
you can fixed the 0FISCVARNT for the case of no document date using a formula in the transformation,
eg. IF(0FISCVARNT<>'',0FISCVARNT,'K4')
hope it can help.

Please let me know if I need to done any additional settings.
Br, Vivek Srivastava

Hi Vivek,
"The error message KP211 is display by the system due
to the SAP System cannot calculate activity prices automatically.
(can you review the settings in the system).
The procedure that you have to follow is to review transaction code
KP26 and your activity types.
From viewpoint of actual price iteration all plan prices are political
in the sense that 'prices does not change during actual price
iteration'. If all activity types have indicator 1 then everything
will be evaluated with plan price in actual. So actual price iteration
has nothing to compute because no price will be changed. You have to
set price indicator to 5 or 6 in actual price indicator for at least
one activity type in order to calculate the actual activity price.
When you change some activity type master data in transaction KL02,
these changes take effect in all relevant tables, BUT please notice
that the values of TARKZ, TARKZ_I etc. are only DEFAULT values for
activity planning and therefore ONLY READ ONCE when the relevant
planning set is created. Subsequent changes to the master data (default
value) take not effect in the planning sets. You have to change the
values in every single planning set manually."
You indicates that for the activity types you have set in the master data
actual price indicator to 5 (Actual price, automatically based on
on activity). But this is only a default value and can be overwritten
for example during planning.
Please see table COKL for cost center / activity type if have an empty field for
the actual price indicator. Thus the system only finds the plan price
indicators during price calculation and message KP 211 is justified if
you consider the following part of the long text:
In actual price calculation, all plan activity prices, meaning those
calculated automatically (activity price indicator 1 and 2) and
those set manually (activity price indicator 3), are treated as if they
have been set manually.
In order to run KSII as expected by you, you have to execute trans.
KP26 for the cost center and activity type using layout 1-204
(Activity Types: Indicators).
Here you can set the actual price indicator to 5.
Afterwards there should be no further problem with KSII.
I hope helps,

Fiscal year 2010 Not allowed while creating Process order in COR1

Dear Friends,
We have gone SAP live in the month of October. The fiscal yeat we are using is 2011 as the client is Indian client. I have made the fiscal year variant for 2011 (V3). The FI document posting with Fiscal year 2011. It is also creating the Controlling document and Profit center document without any problem.
We have also made the period open as 2011 in MMpv and MMRV. The goods receipts is working fine and the finance entry and material document gets generated for the fiscal year 2011.
Now we are creating the process order in COR1 and getting the error message Fiscal year 2010 not allowed as below.
Fiscal year 2010 is not allowed
Message no. F5568
Diagnosis
The fiscal year entered (2010) is different from the fiscal year derived from the posting date and fiscal year variant (2011).
System Response
Error.
Procedure
Correct the fiscal year entered.
In KP26 we have maintianed for activity price for 2010 & 2011 and the system is picking the data for the fiscal year 2010 data and not the FY 2011 data.
I have checked in OKEQ (Costing version '0') The valide start date for FY2011 is 01.04.2010.
Is there any other place to maintain the fiscal year in Controlling area or Prodduction Planning???
I last my patient last 5 days doing R&D. Can any one help me where the fiscal year is picking and why it is picking FY 2010??
Regards,
Devendran

Hi Ajay,
Thank you for your comments. I have checked the Factory calendar and that is 2010 (January to December). We have tried to change to 2011 but the system automatically picking the date from January 1st 2011 to 31st December 2011. I am unable to create calendar year with date from 01.04.2010.
I have discussed with my PP consultant about this issue, he is telling the factory calendar nowhere related to Fiscal year. Do you have any idea how to change the factory calendar of 2011 from 01.04.2010 to 31.03.2011?? Is there any there reason why my system considering the Fiscal year 2010 instead of 2011???
Your inputs will defenitely help me to get an clue.

Fiscal year varient ecc 6.0

Hi Gurus
I created one fiscal year varient ecc .6.0 ,(24 period , april to march) i can't save that varient . i got some information gap in financial year varient period ZZ
thanks

New G/L is having extended facility comparing to classic G/L. Classic G/L is supported by Sap Table GLT0 whereas New G/L is supported by SAP Table FAGLFLEXT.
Addl. fields like cost center, Profit center, segment will be available in this table which is not there in OLD table. If it is a new implementation you need not activate New G/L. With all new installation New G/L is activated with the standard SAP.
New GL concept is used normally in the following situations:
1. An organization has units in more than one country and has separate currencies and need to maintain separate ledgers.
2. Different financial years are required for legal requirement. For ex: for the companies act Jan to December and for Income tax act April to March
3. To Maintain US GAAP or any other GAAP requirements.
Example:
Letu2019s assume that your company is in INDIA and US. Your parent company is US which follows FY K4 and Your Indian Company has to submit the balance sheets as per FY V3. Also Indian companies follows Indian GAAP and US company USGAAP.
Letu2019s assume that there are some accounting differences between these two and the values differ at the time of posting. In such a case you create US company as a Leading ledger with FY variant K4 and Indian company with V3.
When you are posting transactions which are independent of ledgers the system will post to all the ledgers by default. When you want to post transactions to only effecting Indian GAAP then the Ledger Groups Come in to the picture and you will post to the ledger groups by using FB01L or FB50L. These two transactions will give you the flexibility of posting to selected ledgers.
In multi ledger environment you use FAGLB03 instead of FS10N and FAGLL03 instead of FBL3N. You can have only one leading ledger and all other are non leading ledgers. You can maintain as many ledgers as you need with different currencies, different fiscal year variants. In classic GL environment you need to configure this by using special purpose ledger and derive your reports. Important concepts in NEW G/L are
1. Parallel Accounting
2.Document Splitting
3.Integartion
