Activitity type and cost ceter

where we have to see the link between activity type and the cost center where we have to define there
how can we know the pp and Fi intrgation part .

Hi,
First step create Cost Center Master data and Activity type(Machine,Labor etc.) master data.
Next step is goto KP26 T.code .
In KP26 you needs to plan values for each activity(Machine,Labor etc.)
goto KP26
Enter Version: 0
From Period:1
To Period :12
Fiscal year: 2008
Cost Center:XXXXXX(production cost Center)
OR Cost Center Group:XXXXX (production cost Center)
Activity Type:XXXXX(Labor,Machine etc...) OR
Activity Type Group:XXXX
Hit on overview and it will take you to next screen
here you needs to enter plan values like labor rate $20 for 60 mins or 1/hr.
save.
Hope this helps,Please assign points
Thanks,
Rau

Use of activity types and cost splitting

Hi All,
We would like to track activities for cost centers, but don't necessarily have the need for a sending cost center/object. I understand in a traditional manufacturing set-up, you have sending and receiving cost objects that incorporate the use of activities. Our business is a service that we provide, not a tangible product that we produce.
Here is the scenario. We have activities that a cost center performs. Cost center 1 will perform 2 types of "pick-up" activities, so this would require two activity types. Throughout the course of the month, the activity quantities would get posted to the cost center. So my first question is how can you post only quantities to a cost center--what is the t-code? We're not concerned with incorporating an activity price, we just want quantities.
Second, as primary costs get posted to the cost center in FI, we want to split the costs onto the activities. I have researched t-code KSS2 and can't seem to split the primary costs based on the activity quantities. It keeps refering to target costs, which I don't really want to have to worry about.
What we're trying to do is a makeshift ABC scenario. Since the use of true abc seems almost non-existent, there's not much info out there on it. Does anybody have any good docs on abc in SAP?
Thanks

Hi,
1. I understood your case in this way .
Cost Center A performs 2 activities . The cost center collects cost by Fi posting through out the month.
Now you want the activity type should nt have price , only it should have quantities.
And now you want to allocate the cost of the cost center to other object by activity types.
If i am right..
then instead of activity types why not create SKF(statistical key figures) . At the month end by t.code Kb31n post the activity qts. for combination of cost center and SKFs.
Then as per your requirement run allocation cycle.
The kind of you are planning , in that case activity types to be converted as cost object ( it can be done in control area setting) and then you want to allocate.. seems to be little complicated..
Hope i understood and in turn i conveyed the message properly..

Process Orders Types and Costing effect.

Dear All,
I have a query regarding the order type in process orders.
There is an order type "Rework",. It can be used by the production people for some material(s) that may need only minute/little rework.
Can anyone please help me to understand that if production guys instead of using order type as "rework" again assign the main work order type for the process orders that were basically meant for rework then what will be its cost implications.?
Is this type is required to differentiate b/w the originally processed and reworked orders only and there is no other implications / consequences ?
Hope, I am able to put my confusion here clearly.
Thanking all you guys in advance.
Regards,
Yasir Shaikh.

Wsalam Ajay.
Thank you, I have been learning a lot from this forum and specially from you.
Being new to CO, I believe it will take me some time to get used to the technical terms. please tell me that how to check the cost of rework specific to a CC, I am also unable to understand the 2nd part related to settlement object.
PS, I was of the view that because if we use the default order type for a rework order, then keeping in mind our policy to valuate material at standard cost, we are overcasting / overvaluing our inventory.
Please correct me as even I am confused on this.
For example. For material AAA, and for Output of 1 Unit of AAA, we need 2 units of input material X, 2 units of input material Y, and 2 Units of input material Z. And now we have received material AAA for rework which only needs 1 units of material A .
Now, if we will use default order type and not rework order type then by showing output of 1 unit of material AAA, it will be costed on a standard cost of material X, Y and Z for each 2 units.
After this point , I am getting confused that if it is only a small consumption of new material then how can we assign the AAA with full cost of one unit of AAA.
Thanking you.
Yasir Shaikh.

Activity Types and Cost Centres

Our PP is not yet live now.
While going through the system settings, it is found that many activities (approx. 15 for indirect expenses also) are planned in the Production Cost Centres.
However, these activities are not included in the master data of the Work Centre. Only one activity type is mentioned there for machining.
Then, what is the purpose of other activity types planned if they are not mentioned in the Work Centre ?
Is there any other way these activity costs will appear in the Cost report ?

Hi,
You are almost on the right line, activity quantities will be triggered in the cost center report based on the routing master and through the confirmation from the production orders.
For the creation of the work center - Activity Planning KP26 is required. Cost center/Activity
where we can plan the activity quantities.
Prior to that KP06 is required to plan the primary cost combination of (Cost Element/Cost center/Activity Type) where we can plan the cost.
Based on the above information we can calculate the plan price - KSPI
Based on the confirmation from the production orders activity quantities will be updated in the center report. cost will be updated with actual postings in the cost center.
So that you can calculate the actual activity price.
Please look into the blog for better understanding:

Activity Type and Cost Relationship Configuration

Hi SAP Gurus,
In ERP, the recipe of Material GN2425A1H, the activity is ZDL - Labour. When the activity time is increased, the material cost does not change, e.g., if labour hour is changed from 1.52HR to 3.4HR, the cost remains unchanged. In case of other materials, if the time of activity ZDL is changed, then the material cost changes accordingly.
Please help me understand the configuration that needs to be checked for activity labour hours with cost associated.
Thanks.

Dear Samir,
I am not sure if such a relation ship exists between Material and Labor.
Normally, the costs are charged independently based on the valuation variant used for the Actual costs in the Process Order (defaulted from order type) ex:Material costs are picked as per the valuation indicator (V/S) from the Material Master when the goods issue is posted to the Process Order.
Labor costs are picked when confirmations are done from the Transaction KP26 (planned prices for activitites) as per the valuation variant.

Activity Type and Cost Element Assignment wrong

The cost element appearing in Transaction code KP26
( Activity type planning), should come through the master data of the activity type.
What I am observing in my system, that for the combination of the Cost center and Actvity type , in KP26 the same cost element is not appearing as per the master data of Activity type. And also the cost element filed is gray. It is happening for 2008 financial year only.
How to correct this problem?
Is there ant note to be applied.?
Kamlesh

This is normally a result of changing the CE while the Activity Type was active and in use (planned against and/or activity confirmed for some production orders).
One solution is to curtail the activity to the end of the period you are in and create a new one from the following period. Just beware that you may need to change the routings, splitting rules, etc. as well.
Cheers.

Activity Types and Allocation Cost Element

Hi
What are the impact of having same Allocation Cost Element for different Activity Types. Is there any where we use this condition. SAP allows to have same allocation Cost Elements to different Activity Types, but i did not understand where we can utilizes this feature.
Thanks
Sivaram

Hi Sivaram,
in WIP customizing OKG5 you can assign specific cost center/activitity type combinations to different line-IDs, even though the same cost element is used. By this you can e.g. differentiate the value flow of one cost element in 2: one for capitalization, the other for non-capitalization.
Personally I would not recommend to use this and stick to the rule "one activity type - one cost element" - makes it easier for IT and controlling departments.

Control G/L account and Cost Center for movement type 251

Dear Friends,
I would like to use mov. type 251 for GI for sale and like to control over G/L account and Cost center.
The G/L account is by default from the valuation class of the the material and if the user will enter wrong G/L
we had done the customising in OMJJ movement type 251 - Account grouping - Unchecked the check box of column
"Check account assignment" - Impact is " the system always uses the G/L accounts or account assignments determined automatically"
I also made default cost center for G/L account and plant wise through OKB9.
Now I would like to suppress/dispaly the G/L account and cost center - for same I had done Setting in Entry control menu of OMJJ for 251 of field Account control - Value - "-" field is suppressed. But it is not working.
Please advise to solve this situation.
Thanks & Regards
Rajan

Dear Rajan
Yes, I have checked in MB1A earlier. We have separate node for Field seletion layout for Enjoy transaction MIGO for mvt type in which the G/L account (KONTO) an Cost center (KOSTL) have only optional or required entry selection.

Get the wage type, amount and cost center

Dear Expert,
Is there any FM to get the payroll result for each wage type, amount, and cost center allocation?
Example,
Employee Tom was in cost center A with wage type 1001 ($1000) in Jan.
But in Feb payroll, we need to retro the cost center for employee Tom to cost center B from 1-jan onwards.
So after the Feb payroll run, I would like to have the result like below:
Cost Center A Jan $1000
Cost Center A Feb -$1000
Cost Center B Jan $0
Cost Center B Feb $2000
But if I use the FM HR99L00_GET_RETRO_MONTH_DIFF, I cannot get the value like below because the cost center is already replace in infotype 0001
Cost Center B Jan $1000
Cost Center B Feb $1000
Please help.
Thanks,
WF

Hello
First you can use the FM HR_PT_READ_PAYROLL_RESULT to retrieve the payroll results of an employee. For your purpose you need just the international cluster, so you can use the table type pay99_result.
Say if you have run the payroll run for the Feb with the new cost center assignment, you can get all these details from the WPBP cluster of the returned result. You'll will have one record in WPBP for each pay period. Using the index of the result you need i.e. for the month of Feb, get the amount value form cluster RT in the same payroll result. Now you should have the amount you are looking for.

CO Cost apportionment and cost allocation (on activity type)

Hi
I have created cycles and allocated costs to cost centers on basis of activity types. I have used TCode KP26 for the actual costs. Same way, i created SKFs and cycles for the cost apportionment for actual costs.
Now i want to run these allocation cycles and cost apportionment for planned values... Is it possible in SAP, if yes, please let me know how these cycles will created and executed for planned costs.
Edited by: Meenu_ND on Feb 15, 2011 10:49 AM

hi..Meenu
   Probably you want to allocate plan values through Assessment cycle. Pl process as per steps below :
   a) Creat Assessment Cost Element Cat 42 in T.Cd KA01
b) Plan Expenses under primar cost element in KP26
   c) Plan Activity qty in KP06
d) Plan SKF in KP46
   d) Creat Plan Assessment cycle in KSU7. While creating your tracing factor Receiver rule select as per your requirement
e) Execute plan assessment cycle T.code KSUB

GL account and cost center field appearing for Goods issue movt type 201

Hi SAP Gurus
We are trying to post goods issue in ecc6 . The problem is that the GL Account and cost center fields are available fields .The cost center field is logical but why the GL account field is avaiable .
How we can grey out the same field as it is going to be picked up from the valuation class setting in GBB - VBR ? Any ideas
Regards
Hitesh

Hi Ravi
You think that its ok we have to input the cost center .
But if you allow the users to input the GL then you are overriding the whole purpose of defining the valuation class and offsetting entries ? What is your opinion ?When you input the material in the goods issue screen the offsetting entry needs to be picked from the GBB -VBR .Although even if you do not enter the GL the system posts the Godds issue document .But from the control perspective this needs to be suppressed .
What do you think ?
I have also posted the same in Logistics forum .
Once again many thanks for your help .In case you find some solution this would be of great help

Activity Type at cost center

Hi All,
Is Activity types are used only at production cost centers or u can use for any material use in general, i mean, Say i ahve 2 machinerys, i spend bearings and oil for repairs, i called this activity as antifriction. i issue bearings and oil towards this activty to machinery cost center. now i want a report like how much cost i spend on antifriction activity for machine 1 & 2. How should i map my cost ceners to get this report. Can any body tell me what exactly activty types used for?
Thanks in advance
Sarayu.

Hi
Activity types classify the activities produced in the cost centers within a controlling area. To plan and allocate the activities, the system records quantities that are measured in activity units. Activity quantities are valuated using a price (allocation price).
In Overhead Cost Controlling, costs based on the activity type are posted separately in fixed and variable portions. When you divide the activities of a cost center into activity types, you should consider whether the costs can be allocated effectively to the activity types.
You can plan, allocate, and control costs either at the activity type level of a cost center, or at the cost center level.
You can also assign the activity type of a cost center directly example: deprecitation postings.
You can assign one activity type, multiple activity types, or no activity types to a cost center.
I hope this helps.

Wage type and group

hi all,
i have created a labour activities. after production order conf or delivery i want cost of labour to flow to HR.
i know in work center we can create wage type and pls let me know what are the steps in achieving this
thank you
sanjeev

Dear llija,
These were the most predominant factor for Payroll. Though there are lots to explain on these factors, I had just highlighted on important aspect, by which you can have an idea on what is it all about in creating a wage type.
Wage Type Group(T-code:PU96) : Combination of all the Wage types which are to be populated in the particular infotype. Say for instance: 0008 Basic Pay Infotype has a group of Wage types clubbed together which helps to get populated during the creation of Basic Pay 0008 infotype. Which means, only these particular wage types will appear in 0008.
Wage Type Catalog(OH11) : Here, we copy the Primary Wage type and name it according to the customer specific requirements. All the custom wage type should be copied from the standard model wage type.
Wage Type Model (Table : V_T539A): This Wage type model is created in order to make the wage types get defaulted in 0008 Basic Pay infotype using the LGMST Feature. Where, LGMST feature ends with the return value as No:of Enterable Wage types / Wage Type Model.
Hope this brief information gives you a clear understanding on Wage Type concept.

Netwrok Profile,Network type and reference to a plant

Whenever a network is created, we must assign it to a Network Profile, Network type and it should have a reference to a plant....what do you mean by this?

Hi,
In order to create a network, network profile and network type should be defined in advance.
1. The network profile contains default values and parameters for controlling the processing of networks, such as control keys for activities.
The data which you enter in the network profile is copied into the header, activities, and activity elements when you create a network.
2. Every network you create must have a network type allocated to it.
The network type determines:
a) order category
b) whether the network is used for planning
c) default value for the settlement profile
d) default value for a status profile, if you want to use the user status in status management
e) allocation of the network type to a number range
3. You enter more specific network type information (eg. default settlement rule, costing variant) <b>plant wise</b> in 'parameters for network type'.

Usage of Activity types under Cost Centre.

Hi
I would like to know the usage of activity types under cost centre.
How to do direct and indirect activity type allocation. Please explain indetail from scratch to finish with necessary t.codes at the earliest.
Appreciate your cooperation at the earliest.
regards.

Hi,
as far as usage of activity types under cost center is concerned it is addressed by ist reply to your query by another SAP Guru.
with respect to Direct activity allocation,
When we know the source cost center and target cost center then we allocate the activities from source cost center to Target cost center (T.Code KB21N)
The cost is picked from the planned price given at KP26.
Withe respect to Indirect activity allocation:
We do not know the Traget Cost center in this case.
First we need to enter the activity consumption in the sender cost center (source cost center).
Then we need to allocate then indirectly to the target cost centers on some allocation basis using distribution cycles
I am sure this will clear your query.
Please assign points suitably
Best Regards
surya
