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!!

Activity Allocation Reposting BAPI
Hi,
I would like to run Activity Allocation Reposting using a BAPI. I could not find one in transation BAPI. Does any of you know of such a BAPI?
Thnx,
AvihayHi Avihay,
I believe you can use BAPI_ACC_ACTIVITY_ALLOC_POST (sorry, that's for plain posting, for reposting I'm afraid there is no BAPI, but you can call a transaction).

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

Issue – System Split Electricity cost between all the activities assigned to Workcentres Cost Centre.
But I want to post that cost only to ELE30 Activity and not for all
When I RUN KSSI for actual Price determination system shows
OTy Object Name AUn Act Qty Total price Price (Fixed) PUnit

ATY CBAKYPDDXB/LAB10 Production Dxb HR 2.0 916.75 916.75 10
2200.06
2200.06 is almost double than 1100.00 which is actual electricity cost and the same is actually determined for all the activities.
After revaluation of the process order system posting below values
40002 RAW MATERIAL BAKERY CONSUMED 1005/1100000042 5.00 5.00

2.67- 542.01
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
Sagar ChinchkarDear 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.

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

4. After CON2 system is changing the value of other activities like

Hi,
Pls. let me know how many times we can do cost centre settlement in a month..
1. In case of assess
2. In case of Distribution
3. Incase of reposting
4. Incase of Activity allocation.
Generally I guess we can do it only once.
Thanks & Regds,
Kasi.Hi Kasi Kancharla
There is no limit to do all these activities.
We can do as per our requirements.
Pl letme know any further information.

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?
Thanks,

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 youHi 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

Target = Activity allocation(KNMA)
Hello All,
Can any one please help me on the following issue. (Indirect activity allocation)
The system is considering both variable and fixed planning costs adjusting with operating rate while calculating the target cost and settling to receiving cost center. This is wrong, it should only consider variable cost with operating rate in deriving the target cost. can any please suggest me where should I focus to solve this issue. Early help in this regard is very much appreciated.
Thank you
SrinivasHi Srinivas,
I missed this post.
The system behaviour of considering both variable and fixed price is correct.
if you don't need the fixed cost, then don't update it.
Please let me know if you need futher assistence

Difference between Direct activity allocation and internal activity allocat
Hello
I am pursuing SAP Management Accounting certification
Can somebody tell me what's the difference between direct activity allocation and internal activity allocation. Please give some example and also specifications as to cost element categorry, activity type, etc.
Asif
Moderator: Please, do not post certification queries. Regarding your issue, please, refer to help.sap.comHi,
Activity means e.g.. sales call, customer visit etc.
But service process means after you sale your product if some service related issue arrives then that is taken care by this transaction.

Iteraton in Indirect Activity Allocation
Hi All,
At the outset, I WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY N PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR 2009.
Issue:
There are around 15 Service and Utility Cost centers and about 50 Administrative Cost Centers.
The cost to be planned for these cost centers includes Fixed Cost and Variable Cost. But in SAP, Cost Element Planning for these cost centers in KP06, will allow only planning of Fixed Cost because there is no activity planning for these cost centers.
IS THERE ANY WAY TO PLAN VARIABLE COST IN ACTIVITY INDEPENDENT PLANNING?
For Service and Utility Cost Centers above, I created activity types and could plan both Fixed and Variable costs. But, Clientu2019s business process demands iteration to take place among Service and Utility Cost Centers. Once the system does the iteration, then what ever the cost Per Unit comes in each of the Cost Centers is considered to be their final Per Unit Cost of services.
I created Plan Cycle for Indirect Activity Allocation. But there is no u201CIterationu201D possible in that. The Activity Type Category in Plan is 2/3 and in Actual u201CBlanku201D (As in Planning).
Because there is no Iteration available in Plan Indirect Activity Allocation, I created cycle for only Service Cost Centers (to get the Service Cost Per Unit) and Assessment Cycle to allocate the cost from Service Cost Centers to Production Cost Centers. When I run the Indirect Activity Allocation cycle, the system is allocating the cost from sender Service Cost Center to all Receiver Cost Centers by taking the Ratio of SKF instead of considering the Actual SKF Value.
Example:
Sender Service Cost Center A has Planned Activity Quantity of 1000 hr and Planned Cost of USD 100000. So, Planned Cost per Hr is USD 100. The receiver Service Cost Centers B, C, D has consumed 10, 20 and 30 hours respectively and balance of 940 hours were consumed by Production Cost Centers.
My Plan Indirect Activity Allocation Cycle is as followsu2026
Sender Cost Center Receiver Cost Center RTF
Service Cost Center A Service Cost Center B 10
Service Cost Center C 20
Service Cost Center D 30
So, I expect the system to allocate cost of USD 1000, USD 2000, and USD 3000 from Cost Center A to B, C, and D respectively.
But I found the system taking the ration of B: C: D i.e., 10:20:30. So, the allocated amount isu2026
To Cost Center B = (10/60)* USD 100000
To Cost Center B = (20/60)* USD 100000
To Cost Center B = (30/60)* USD 100000
Though in u201CTarget=Actualu201D (which is based on u201COperating Rateu201D) method iteration is possible, this method is not suitable for clientu2019s business process, as, the actual activity hrs will be calculated by the system automatically based on the changes in output of final receiver cost centers. (Ex. When I do Plan Reconciliation).
I seek your suggestion regarding 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.

Edited by: amol wagh on Dec 6, 2008 8:09 PM
Edited by: amol wagh on Dec 6, 2008 8:10 PMDear,
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.
