Activity allocaiton cost element reposting issue

Hi Guru,
Maintenance cost has been allocated to maintenance order using activity type MAINT1 ( allocation cost element MAINT1_ACT , category 43) , but business wanted to post to a different allocation cost element. So I created a new activity type MAINT3 with new allocation cost element MAINT3_ACT, and try to use KB65 to do reposting ( see below ), but this doesn't seem to have option of updating the receiving allocation cost element, the sending and receiving cost element still pointed to MAINT1_ACT. Idealy, it should empty out the postings on MAINT1_ACT and post to MAINT3_ACT.
I also try to create reposting cycle, but don't know how to add activity type and cost element field on the receiver side. Please help if you can, thanks!!

staring period is May 2009. by the way, i'm not getting that same error message if i will use PM01 control key. i'm thiking it's with the control key but can't pin point what .
thanks.

    1. You can reduce the validity of the cost element via KA02 -> Edit -> Ananlysis period
    2. What do u mean by re-class.
    Activity type master data can be assigned only to a cost element category 43.

  • Activity types cost Elements not reflecting in Cost Centre Report.

    Hello SAP Gurus,,
    1. Here we are facing one issue in Zreport. total is not matching, compare with KSB1.
    Values are more in Zreport, in other words activity type cost elements are not reflecting in Zreport, but it reflecting in KSB1.
    example: flow from PM module.
    Actually we had used logic based on the Cost Centres, in that cost centre by taking Object number and it passes to COEP table, then we are getting values as same as KSB1.
    As per investigation i found that the object number is differ from COEP table and CSKS table.
    Exapmple : 1410000 object number in CSKS table, 1410000EL in COEP table, thats why in Zreport these values are not reflecting.Finally our requirment is , Zreport values should same as KSB1 vlaues.
    2. We need same functionality as same as KSB1 for match code or drop down menu functionality for Cost Centre Group and Cost Element Group,  but while user wants select from match code or drop menu (F4), as of now i didnt given any logic to abap for match code functionality or drop down menu (F4),so in this case which logic or table i have to use.
    So please give me inputs or logic how to over come the above points.
    Regards,
    Raj.

    The OBJNR field structure is as follows :-
    AABBBBCCCCCCCCCCDDDDDD
    AA = object type eg. KS (cost center)
    BBBB = controlling area
    CCCCCCCCCC = cost center
    DDDDDD = activity type
    Based on the structure, you will be able to filter the relevant cost center/activity types. You can also use other fields eg. cost element, partner object, source object, value type, etc. to get your desired figures as per KSB1.

  • Is there a way to bypass activity type/ cost element for CJ20n Activity?

    Hi Experts,
    Is there a way to bypass the activity type set in the Internal tab of a particular activity in CJ20n?
    Here's a background of the scenario:.
    - In CJ20n, under WBS element 100->Network 10->Activity 1, under the internal tab, the activity type set up is ACT1
    - Under person assignment, I have 2 resources assigned Person 1 and Person 2, with the following values:
      Person 1          Work: 1.0h Dur. 10D
      Person 2          Work: 2.0h Dur. 15D
    - In infotype 135, person 1 has a cost element set as ACT2 and person 2 has a cost element ACT3.
    - The problem is that when you bring up the Plan/ Actual comparision report (ctrl+F11 in CJ20n), the costs are consolidated for ACT1 and negates the cost elements for Person 1 and Person 2
    Is there a way to bypass this and use the individual cost elements set up for person 1 and person 2?

    I dont think this is possible for the scenario that you explained. I mean, you have a single activity which has 2 resources assigned and each of these resources has a different activity type. Standard SAP allows only 1 activity type for an activity.
    Just a query, why dont you create 2 different activities for these resources since the activity types are diff for both?

  • Activity Type: cost element does not exist

    Dear All,
    I am working on ERP  configuration for PP module as an academic exercise. I am already through with FI, CO and MM modules.
    I am not able to get through the Activity assignment step in PP module. (Accounting u21D2 Controlling u21D2 Cost Center Accounting u21D2 Master Data u21D2 Activity Type u21D2 Individual Processing u21D2 Create). While creating activity type labor (labor hours), I am getting error "cost element does not exist for aggregated period"
    In CO module I have created primary cost element for "Labor"(Category: primary cost/ cost reducing revenues). Also created secondary cost element for labor (cost element category: Internal activity allocation).
    Can anybody guide me on how to go further?
    regards,
    Supriya

    Dear
    Please revivew the following steps when you are creating a New Acvity type :
    OP51 - Check Settings for formulas
    OP54 - Check formulas for Costing
    Ensure that usage of the parameters are indicated.  Some parameters are appropriate for capacity calculation but not for schedule calculation.  If you like to find out the parameter id, you could use the Search Fld. for Param. pull down button to do so.
    KLH2 - Maintain hierarchy of Activity type group.
    OP19 - Define standard value key
    The purpose of standard value keys is to group together a set of parameters for the purpose of ensuring that the standard values for the parameters are supplied in the operations of the routing.  This is so that the formula (for calculating cost, schedule, and capacity) could have the necessary figures to work with.  Once the parameters are associated with the standard value keys, work centers quoting this standard values will be able to dictate whether or not the parameter values are optional or mandatory entry in the operations of the routing.  The pre-requisite for using this transaction is that the parameters must have been pre-created.
    KA01 - Create Primary Cost Element for the new activities type. Maintain Correct From and To date inline with Activity Type KL01  - Create Activity Type tied to the primary cost element. (the Cost element field)
    KP26  - Change Activity Type/Activity Price Planning - maintain the Variable price
    If the user include the additional activities in their work center, the routing that used the work center will required more time to finished the jobs.
    The operations Start and Finish date will be extended due to the extra time spent on the work center.  The cost of production increases in line with the extra activity which will be reflected in the Factory Output when you do a cost analysis in the production order.   The new activity will have a price attached to it and the moving average price will increase.

  • System does not accept Cost Element on External Activity

    Hi Experts,
    I have maintained the cost element in network profile under the activity type. When I create external activity in project builder system populates the default cost element entered in network profile BUT when I maintain Material Group in activity detailed data, system removes cost element and issues a message "Enter cost element".
    System does not accept any cost element in the field. Please guide if there is some setting that I have missed
    Thanking in advance
    Warm Regards

    Via txn OBYC also check if the VBR entry with a blank valuation class is missing
    If so get your FI/MM consultant to advise the entry details with relevant cost elements

    Hello Ravi,
    I repeatedly used the following programms Ajay might refer to.
    First guess: xx29 might help.
    "Best practice?": I would not call it best practice. At least it is SAP-reports and not
    customer-specific reports.
    I hope it helps.

  • Number convention for Secondary cost element

    Hi,
    Anyone can guide me how to check the number convention for secondary cost element being set up in SAP?
    thank you

    Hi,
    The best way so far i have experienced is:
    Start the numbering with two digits from your company code and then cost element category and then the numerics.  If you have too many Cost elements, better to have 10 Digit numbering system.
    Assumption: You have multiple company codes
    For Example you company code is TP01
    Activity Type Cost element:
    TP43000001 - Labour Hours
    TP43000002 - Machine hours
    and so on
    This is easy for identifying either from the consultant point of view of the end user point of view
    Best Regards

  • SKF and AT cost element in cycle

    Hi all,
    Activity type cost element maintained in KL01.
    SKF cost element not in KK01 but base on cost element in cycle.
    Now, in cycle, let say, the tracing factor is using activity type, then system to use which cost element?
    Say, in KL01, the cost element is 610000 whereas in cycle the cost element is 610020.
    So now, system to use which cost element?
    Thanks

    Dear,
    Thanks alot of your reply.
    So meaning assessment or distribution, system will use cycle cost element 610020. correct?
    So when to use AT cost element 610000? Only use when via kb21n? any other tcode when post using this AT will use 610000?
    Thanks

  • Cost center & cost element

    Hi Experts,
    Can anybody please tell me,
    What is difference between cost center and cost element.
    what is exact role of both.

    Hi,
    Cost Center
    Definition
    External object (object type K) from Controlling which represents a clear origin of costs.
    If you implement the Controlling component, you can find more information in SAP Library under Cost Center (Financials u2192 Controlling u2192 Cost Center Accounting u2192 Master Data in Cost Center Accounting (CO-OM-CCA) u2192 Cost Center)
    and
    Cost Center Accounting (Financials u2192 Controlling u2192 Cost Element Accounting).
    Use
    By assigning cost centers to organizational objects, you determine where costs incurred by the object are to be charged. The inheritance principle applies: If an organizational object is not assigned a cost center, the cost center assigned to the superior object applies.
    An organizational object may also be assigned more than one cost center. For more information, see Cost Distribution (infotype 1018).
    Integration
    A cost center can be related to the following organizational objects:
    ·        an organizational unit via relationship A 011 (Cost center assignment)
    ·        a position via relationship A 011 (Cost center assignment)
    ·        a work center via relationship A 011 (Cost center assignment)
    Cost Elements
    Definition
    Cost elements classify an organizationu2019s valuated consumption of production factors within a controlling area. A cost element corresponds to a cost-relevant item in the chart of accounts.
    Structure
    We distinguish between primary cost and revenue elements and secondary cost elements.
    Primary Cost/Revenue Elements
    A primary cost or revenue element is a cost or revenue-relevant item in the chart of accounts, for which a corresponding general ledger (G/L) account exists in Financial Accounting (FI). You can only create the cost or revenue element if you have first defined it as a G/L account in the chart of accounts and created it as an account in Financial Accounting. The SAP System checks whether a corresponding account exists in Financial Accounting.
    Examples of primary cost elements include:
    · Material costs
    · Personnel costs
    · Energy costs
    Secondary Cost Elements
    Secondary cost elements can only be created and administrated in cost accounting (CO). They portray internal value flows, such as those found in internal activity allocation, overhead calculations and settlement transactions.
    When you create a secondary cost element, the SAP System checks whether a corresponding account already exists in Financial Accounting. If one exists, you can not create the secondary cost element in cost accounting.
    Examples of secondary cost elements include:
    · Assessment cost elements
    · Cost elements for Internal Activity Allocation
    · Cost elements for Order Settlement
    Integration
    Cost elements in Controlling (CO) are closely related to the general ledger accounts used in Financial Accounting (FI). This is because the SAP System is structured as an Integrated Accounting System:
    Cost elements document which costs (differentiated by category) are incurred within a settlement period, and in which amount. They provide information concerning the value flow and the value consumption within the organization. Cost Element Accounting and Cost Center Accounting/Internal Orders are closely linked in the SAP System. Each posting to an account that is also a cost element, is assigned either to a cost center or order. This ensures that at period-end the data is subdivided by cost elements and cost centers/internal orders for analysis purposes. The following section describes how you can subdivide and characterize cost elements in the SAP System.
    Cost element characteristics depend on the controlling area and the allocation methods used in your organization.
    Hope this helps clarifying your doubt about cost center & cost element.

  • Activity base costing

    dear sir,
    i want to know about activity based costing. how to calculate cost estimate for activity ?
    which setting should be made in the system.
    points will be rewarded.
    regards
    dhananjay

    Hi
    for Activity based costing
    1. Master data are
      >>Material master with Accounting and costing views and proper valuation class and price assignment (S or V)
    >>  Valid BOM
    >> Workcenter with valid costcenter, activity and formaula assignment ( CO activity - Primary cost element, secondary cost element, activity definition, cost center creation and price planning (KP26)
    >> valid Routing with Standard values
    if all the master data are maintained then you can create the standard cost estimate using a appropriate costing variant
    ( Example PPC1)
    once successfully created you can review the quantity structure for cost of Goods sold, overheads, activity costs etc.
    then it will be released for price update in material master.
    the release of cost estimate wil be a periodic process may be monthly or yearly
    Hope this helps

  • Cost Element Error during Activity Confirmation

    Hi,
    We are using assembly processing to create projects. After project is created, a requirement arises and we manually assign few internal activities in CJ20N. When we do like that, a cost element gets picked automatically in the cost element field of External TAB along with Purchase Org & purchase group though it is an internal activity. This doesnt happen in already created activities during automatic creation.
    We don't need the system to bring these values for cost element, purchase org. & group. We are not using this cost element anywhere. In network profile cost element field is blank.
    So whenever we confirm the activity it throws an error message. CK197, G/L account for company code / costelement does not exist.
    Kindly advice.
    Regards,
    Rahul

    Hi, Rahul,
    Have your system is gone for any recent upgrade for EHP4 ?
    This error is due to EHP4 please implement following said notes
    1285728, 1277967.
    And after that remove the cost element from activities present in external tab which are created before not implementation which are giving error.
    revert after resolving the issue.

  • Activity allocation reposting issue

    Hi gurus,
    I allocated maintenance cost to maintenance order using activity type MAINT1 ( allocation cost element MAINT1_ACT , category 43) , now I want to repost the cost to MAINT2 with a different allocation cost element MAINT2_ACT... so it should look like as below on the cost center report:
    Dr.  MAINT2_ACT  
    CR. MAINT1_ACT
    I tried KB65 but it won't update the allocation cost element; I also try to create reposting cycle using KSC5, but I don't know how to add activity type and cost element field on the receiver side. Please help.

    Just to reword my question, as it's a bit confusing on the initial question:
    Maintenance cost has been allocated to maintenance order using activity type MAINT1 ( allocation cost element MAINT1_ACT , category 43) ,  but business wanted to post to a different allocation cost element. So I created a new activity type MAINT3 with new allocation cost element  MAINT3_ACT, and try to use KB65 to do reposting ( see below ),  but this doesn't seem to have option of updating the receiving allocation cost element, the sending and receiving cost element still pointed to MAINT1_ACT. Idealy, it should empty out the postings on MAINT1_ACT and post to MAINT3_ACT.
    I also try to create reposting cycle,  but don't know how to add activity type and cost element field on the receiver side. Please help if you can, thanks!!

    You need to cancel the operation which is confirmed to reverse the cost from cost element. change the activity type against the operation and again to operation confirmation.  tcode IW41 confirmation and tcode IW45 cancel confirmation.
