Hi,
I have resolved the above error. it was due to master data maintainence.
But now while posting i am getting an error that " Activity type XYZ can not be allocated to 2008"
Can someone help with this?

Training and event management - Internal Activity Allocation for Attendees(PV18)

Dear all,
I run the PV18 transaction (Internal Activity Allocation for Attendees). Lets imagine that I successfully allocated 1000 EUR in the CO module. Then I realize that it was a mistake, and I want to correct this by sending -1000 EUR to CO.
My question is: how can I do that? Is PV18 capable of doing this? Or this has to be corrected manually in CO module?
Thanks
Nándor

>>I tried to create it and the system generated a message about using the allowed name space.
if it is a warning message, I think, you can go ahead & create the HRTEM entry in TTYP table.. you can check if this will let you get past the Activity Allocation.

Modify posting period in KB65 - Internal Activity Allocation reposting

Hi Gurus,
I have lots of documents originally created in CATS.
The user who did the CAT7 transfer made a mistake and put in posting date (01.03.2010) on the selection screen of CAT7. All items have been posted on 01.03.2010 instead of the original date of the records in CATS.
When I try to repost these items in KB65 and modify the posting date to February, 2010 the system issues an error message (BK214) that the new posting period is earlier than original and it is not possible to modify.
Message BK214 can't be switched off either.
Is there any chance to bypass this? Or any other idea how to modify the posting date of these items from March to February?
Thanks,
Jeno

Try KB21n......we used to change the activity allocation through this transaction.....should work in your case
Thanks

Dear,
For allocation activity costs, we need to define activity type in KL01 by specifying the unit of measurement of the particular activity type (like machine - Hours etc.). While creating activity type, we will assign a secondary cost element (with category 43) in the activity type through which the activity cost will flow.
After that we will plan for cost center in KP06 (cost elementwise). Then we will plan machine hours in KP26 where we will link the activity type to a particular cost center.
Please give the feed back.

What is message number? Did you assign the usersttus in BS02?

When we do price calculation in KSPI, system checks the planned costs for cost center (in KP06) and also checks the machine hours planned (in KP26) and gives the cost for the particular activity type.
Please check the above in the system

Plan Indirect Activity allocation

Hi everybody,
during the execution of Plan Indirect Activity allocation, after filling the cycle I detected the following error message:
"You are not authorized to run cycles on CC : Z910
Message no. 00368
Diagnosis
Error message of the batch input with variable text. A more precise explanation is not possible."
Any suggestion on this, please?
Thanks in advance,
Barbara

Hi Ramakrishna,
I've thought this but the strange thing is that the error message appears only for some cycles and not for all. As a matter of fact one of the cycles that I've created has been successfully executed without any problems.
Any idea about this strange system behaviour?
In the meanwhile I'll check in relation to the authorization profile.
Thanks in advance.

Variable Costs using SKF in Indirect Activity Allocation

Hello
I am trying to use indirect activity allocations and KSPI to transfer costs from an activity in an indirect cost center to multiple direct cost centers. The Receiver tracing factor is planned SKF (i.e. number of employees). The issue I have is that when doing this allocation, the variable cost at the indirect cost center gets transferred as a fixed cost to the direct cost centers. We need to have this as a variable cost on the direct cost centers. Can anyone suggest anything or let me know if I'm doing something wrong?
Here are my sender/receivers:
Sender:
Quantities Calculated Inversely
Plan Values
Receiver tracing factor:
variable Portions
Planned SKF
No Scaling
Thank you

Hi Mark
I was able to achieve this in the past...as below
1. On the indirect Cost center - Use an activity type Catg 2 (indirect entry indirect allocation)
2. On the receiver cost centers - Use an act type Catg 4 (Instead of SKF)
3. Enter the Plan Act Qty for this Act Type on the receiver direct cost centers in KP26 and Actual Qty in KB51N
4. In cycle definition - Var Portion Type would be based on Plan Act Qty instead of SKF
5. Execute KSCB - Folllowed by KSPI.....
You can also try the above using SKF on receiver cost centers - But Act Type Catg 2 on the Sender Indirect cost center.... I guess, this is what you have done... In my opinion, this should also work...
I believe, to transfer the costs as variable - You need to plan them in KP06 as variable (i.e. Activity Dependant Planning)....
So, Plan your expenses on the indirect cost center in KP06 with reference to the Act Type Category 2

MASS REVERSAL OF ACTIVITY ALLOCATION

Hi,
Could you please give Transaction code for mass reversal of activity allocation.
With regards,
V.k

Hi Krishnam,
Either plan or actual activity price calculation KSPI or KSII, you choose extrast -> reset from the top menu after you fill in all data like period, year, cost center group etc. Please note that you can not simulate reversal that means no test indicator when you want to reset the price calculation.

PS: Activity Allocation Screen Variant Display Issue

I'm having a problem in SAP v5.0 when I create a screen variant for Trans KB21N (Activity Allocation). The variant is available in the drop down list and works fine during the data entry session, however, when I press the 'Enter' key the system restores the screen variant back to the default variant. This is very disconcerting, am I missing something simple in the config?

Actual activity allocation

Hi SAP Gurus,
I am facing one problem in Actual activity allocation
In production cost center, cost centers are credited with plan price (Re.1) for every activity qty confirmation
the system posted from Jan to May plan price
in the month of June system posted price Rs.2.02 for five transaction for the rest of the transaction it is taking Re.1. I don't from where this has been picked/calculated by the system
Please help in finding this
regards
VSN

HI,
- What is displayed in KSBT - plan must be the same of kp26; executing the report select only period 6, otherwise the system show average values.
- May be I did not understand correctly your question; for clarification, what do you mean with "Re" and "Rs"? are them two different activity type?

Actual activity allocation / revaluation

Hi All,
My company is using SAP ISH (healthcare) in order to book Services to patient cases. We have linked the Services to some activity types which are generated by the Performing Unit in ISH. The Performing unit is linked to a cost centre in CO where the planned Activity rate has been set up (KP26). The patient case is linked 1:1 with an internal order in CO which receives the activity posting.
My company would like to ensure that all of the costs relevant to these activities are allocated out of the cost centre on to the receiving internal orders at month end. I have not worked in CO for a few years but I believe that this will involve a couple of steps in the month end process.
1 Re-calculate the actual activity prices
2 Revalue the actual postings
Each cost centre generates 2 or more activities which need to be valued. Example below
Performing unit THEATRE1 - Operating theatre, performs operations on 2 patient cases
CASE1 - Knee replacement
     Activity type - Consumables = 100 units @ £2ea = £200
                          Drugs = 10 units @ £30ea = £300
CASE2 - Hip Replacement
     Activity type - Consumables = 200 units @ £2ea = £400
                          Drugs = 50 units @ £30ea = £1500
Total credit to the THEATRE1 cost centre
Consumables - £600
Drugs - £1800
At month end the actual costs posted to the cost centre are as follows
Consumables - £800
Drugs - £2000
In order to credit the full amount to the Internal orders from the cost centre the prices must be recalculated and the activity allocation transactions need to be revalued.
Can you please confirm the steps to configure the month end price calculation (specifically around the splitting rule on the cost centre to determine which costs belong to which activity type), and steps to process the revaluation of the transactions?
Many thanks
Phil

Hi Philip,
When u work with cost center independent planning system can't underunderstand which GL account and cost center should plan with respective activity. For that reason we create splitting structures.
Cost center splitting is used in Cost Center Independent Planning where in KP06 you have cost center and cost element only. In this screen, you will not find Activity.
So, to give a relationship between Cost center, cost element, and activity, we will do splitting structure in OKES, and assign it to cost center in OKEW.
When you do KSS2, it will split the costs based on the splitting structure between activities and cost centers.
In this case, you have to maintain qty values in KP26 and later do KP06.
E.g.: we have 3 cost elements:
Salary - 100000
Depreciation - 200000
Electricity - 100000
Total = 400000
Activities:
Labour - 500 hrs
Machine - 1000 hrs
Total = 1500 hrs.
Here, when u calculate per hour rate system wi'll consider total amount / total activity hours.
= 400000/1500 = 226 INR/per hour
Here, if you want to consider salary amount only with Labour hours and deprecation and electricity for machine hours.
For this we will create splitting structure to provide link between cost elements and activity.
In the alove example salaries Wilkinson be linked to labour activity abduction dep and electricity will be linked to .machine hours.
When you run KSPI it will split the cost between respective cost elements and activities. Here, for salary per hour cost would be 100000/500 = 200 per hour.
Also machine per hour rate would be 300000/1000 hours = 300 per hour.
Same will happen in the case of KSII. I.e. actual cost/ activity hours Between respective cost elements and activity.
Hope you understand the basic concept of splitting structure.

Production Variance is posted as 542.01….
I strongly believe there is some issue in configuration for activity allocation….
Main issue is
Point No. 4 – Different Figures in Process Order Cost Analysis
Point No. 7 – Assessment cycle run
Point No. 8 – KSS2 and KSII for Actual cost Allocation and Production variance…
Friends… I have tried to explain maximum please help me to understand the concept or missing configuration/Process.
Thanks

Dear Rajneesh,
I have made the changes as suggested....
It seems now my Order Cost analysis and Product cost analysis are showing the same figures.
I have also maintained cost center splitting structure for ELE30 Activity allocation.
Structure Z1
Splitting structure for AT
Assignment 10
Electricity Cost
100
Allocation for ELE
Cost Element
994215
Activity Type
ELE30
Splitting Rule
100
Allocation for ELE
12
Activity quantity
Version 0
In my case actual activity confirmed is 3.1 for 2 orders in period 5
Order 1 - QTY 2
Order 2 - QTY 1.1
Total actual Electricity exp is 1150 in period 5
followed procedure to post actual activity on product is mentioned below
KSS2 Actual cost splitting - Result as expected 1150 for ELE30
KSII Actual price determination - Result as expected 3.1 actual confirmed QTY for ELE30 with actual price
       QTY 3.1         Tot Price 3,709.68        Planned(FIX) 3,709.68     Per Units 10
       (System is doing 1150/3.1*10=3709.68)
    3.CON2 Actual revaluation of orders
      Here while reevaluating the Process Orders system calculation is different
Order 1 - QTY 2 -   558.00
Order 2 - QTY 1.1 - 407.56
Total -                    965.57
     4. After CON2 system is changing the value of other activities like
     LAB10 - Actual confirmed Value 10 to 0
     DIE20 - Actual confirmed Value 10 to 0
Which should not be the case....
                                                                                                              PL     Act     Var

If we want to just post Electricity cost based on actual Electricity expenses and Labor and Diesel are based on planned activity rates.
What setting is required in current system.....
Million thanks in advance....

Costing run and activity allocation

hi,
as there is a costing run (routing) to get the cost, may i know why still need to do direct or indirect activity allocation ; actual assessment ; actual distribution?
thanks
rgds

hi,
Costing run and activity allocation are two different processes.....
the former calculates the cost of a product
whereas the later distirbutes the cost among various heads as you want to

The question about activity allocation

business scenario:
1, The sole purpose is to capture costs, use KB21N for activity allocation.
Question: in WBS or netwok activity. there is no relevant work time.
Please explain me all the steps to be required.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I under stood as follows.
You want to capture actual cost in PS. For this you need to have Work centers.
Assign the same to internal actvities. Release the activity and confirm the same.
In SAP, Standard report, you get No hours Actuals, Planed... etc. Check in CN41, CN71 and execute the Project. Check the field selection, there you get the details you required.
Hope my understanding is correct.
