Activity in Work Center

Dear All,
My question it's regarding at activity in work centers.
I defined "setup time" like first activity, and I established an value for the plan price, for the activity type.
Normally, this setup activity it's applicable just for first piece and for the rest no!
But now, if I intend to produse 100 objects, this setup time it's multiply by the number of pieces.
Can somebody to say me, how can I configure thus the setup time be applicable just for one piece.
Thank you, very much!
Marian

Hi,,
Actually the formula which you are defining at the costing view is giving the error.
Create the varable with first st value and create a formuls with only the variable and assign it into the costing field of work center.Then the system will take the value of the activity time only once.
First define a parameter in transaction OP7B . Change the standard value key and give the parameter in OP19.Define a formula in transaction OP21.
Hope it will help you.

Network Activity - Timesheet: Work Center in plant does not exists

Hi All,
While doing Timesheet entry against Network and Activity in CAT2 transaction Code, I come across one scenario in which If I use copy function then one error message appears as " Work center XXXXXXX in Plant XXXX does not exists"
But same combination gets worked if I put manually and do not use copy function.
I think system checks copied entry plant with new entry Plant.
Is this system inconsistency ? If so what may be the probable solution ? OSS Note ? Exit ?
Please suggets to rectify this wrong validation message.
Many thanks in advance.
Swapnil Kharul

Hi Swapnil,
You can check following points once again.
1.Check your Network Actvity details:
Work Center/Plant : 1000/1300
Work 10 (hrs)
Activity Type :11000
DistKeyCapRqlnt:SAP020
Also Status of activity :whether it is in PCNF or CNF.
and in Network Header: check Capacity Requirements.
2.In CR02, check whether the work Center and Plant Combination.
Plant:1300
Work Center:1000
Goto Costing Tab: Note the following:
Cost Center: 4295
Actvity Type Int Proc(Bottom Field):11000
Formulae:SAP008
3.Check in KP26/27, whether Cost center has been
assigned to Activity Type for the period (or else entire Fiscal year).
Version:0
From Period:6
ToPeriod:6
Fiscal Year:2010
Cost Center:4295
Activity Type:11000
with this combination whther rate has defined or not.
Plan Actvity/Fixed Price/Variable Price
4.And also CAC2, don't hide any field in all screen Groups of your data entry profile.
Now Pl. let us know the results.(all values considered here are for your understanding)

Work Center in Project System

Hi Experts,
As per our requirement,
We need to send a workflow task to the users in that particular activity's work center after activity confirmation.
We have an internal Activity been created with some workcenter value for some plant.
But we are not getting that workcenter value in Organization Structure while setting recepient for the *Email Task in Workflow.
Is there any link between plant's workcenter(Project System) and Org Structure Workcenter(PPOCE) ??
And if its not same, then how can we link them?
Please help!
Thanks,
Runal

Hi Runal,
The workcenter used by project system is the logistical workcenter, (T-code CR01, CR02). The project system application does not care 'The Org Structure Workcenter(PPOCE) ' at all.
As far as I known, it is possible to maintain the link between the logistical workcenter with HR, if you start the CR02 and use button 'HR' assignement. Hope, you can link both workcenter this way.
Typically usage I known is the link in Capacities with HR, which the assigned person is used by project system workforce planning.
Kind regards,
Zhenbo

How to reuse standard Activity subcomponents - Appointments, Tasks, Phone Calls and Emails within a custom work center?

Requirement : We have a requirement to reuse the standard Activity subcomponents Appointments, Tasks, Phone Calls and Emails within a custom work centre. The requirement is to leverage and copy all sub functionalities Appointments, Tasks, Phone Calls and Emails available within the standard activity work center. This feature is available within Accounts, Opportunities, Leads etc. (Refer screenshot: Std_Act_Screen.jpg)
We are unable to consume/embed the standard Activity (Work center) sub components Appointments, Tasks, Phone Calls and Emails within the custom work center. This is because of backend consistency check violation UI designer error message displayed. (Refer screenshot:Error while consuming standard activities.jpg)
Ø Open Question:
a. Is there a limitation to consume/embed the standard Activity (Work center) subcomponents Appointments, Tasks, Phone Calls and Emails within a custom work center? We have noticed that this standard Activity Work center subcomponents Appointments, Tasks, Phone Calls and Emails has been repeatedly reused within the application in Account, Opportunity, Sales lead, Lead, Sales Quote Objects.
b. Is there an alternative way in which we can call [Through API etc..] the standard Activity Work center subcomponents Appointments, Tasks, Phone Calls and Emails?
We need your guidance to overcome the error to enable the reuse of the standard Activity Work center sub-components Appointments, Tasks, Phone Calls and Emails within our custom work center or suggest a suitable workaround on how this can be achieved.

IW41: automatic update of activity type when changing the work center?

Hello colleagues,
when doing a time confirmation with IW41, we have following problem:
In the PM order the operations are assigned to a neutral executing work center, as it not known which individual technician is completing the operation later on.
Now when the individual technician is entering the time confirmation with IW41, system is proposing the work center indicated in the operation from the PM order, then technician is overwriting the work center proposal with his own individual work center ID (and pressing Enter), but the activity type is not getting updated automatically. So the technician must jump to field "activity type" and choose the correct activity type.
Is there any solution (hopefully with user exits!) to have the field "activity type" automatically updated with the one indicated in the work center, which was entered manually?
Thanks for your ideas!
Regards,
Patrick

Hi Maheswaran,
yes, as usual all PM work centers have only 1 activity type assigned in the costing tab.
We also checked the settings of the activity type (KL03), but we just found one difference: the price indicator was set on 3 "Determined manually" - we've changed to 1 "Plan price, automatically based on activity" (..same setting as for the act. type of the work center with working update of act.type).
We tested already all possible constellations and scenarios, but we have not found any good reason for the behaviour.
Thanks for your efforts so far!

URGENT........ACTIVITY TYPE AND THEIR ASSIGNEMENT TO WORK CENTER!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Friends,
I have A REAL URGENT REQUIREMENT as far as activity type and assignment to Work Center is concerned.
I work for a client who is a manufacturer of Paint equipment. I'm responsible for capturing the cost of an assembly activity of spray guns, which is the last step of routing. However, there are 4 processes/steps of routing which are outsourced to the subcontracting vendors. we recieve the facbricated, anodised guns which are assembled in our factory.
I need to get the cost of assembly, which I have created as an actvity type in KL01 and planned for the same using KP26. However the system is throwing up errors related to costing, and I'm not sure about the assignment areas in work center.
And above all I'm not sure of various fields in KP26 like capacity field and what do we assign.
can anybody help me with the series of steps for me to be able to pick up the cost. or if there is any sort of material in this regards, plz mail it to: __ email removed by moderator

sandhya

Hi,
You need to do the following:
1) Create an Activity type for the Assembly activity.
2) Define a Work Centre in PP (T-Code CR01) which represents the location where the Assembly is carried out.
3) Define a Cost Centre corresponding to the above Work Centre.
4) Plan for the Activity quantity for the combination of the Cost Centre and Activity type (KP26)
5) Plan for the Overhead Costs which are incurred on this Cost Centre which need to be included in the Standard cost of the Assembly.(KP06)
6) Assign the Cost centre & Acivity type to the Work Centre in CR02.(This is possible only after you do 5 above)
7) Execute the Plan price calculation (T-code KSPI)
After you do all of the above, when you do the Costing Run, all the relevant costs will be picked.
Ofcourse all the relevant master data for PP like BOM, Routing with the relevant assignments of materials to operations, etc should be in place.

Activity cost at work center

Dear Exports,
I have a requirement in my project
1. In a work center we have 3 activities. 1. Labour time
                                                                   2. Machine Time
                                                                    3. No. Kgs treated.
I am able to give labour & Machine reates by giving price at kp26. and number of minitus in routing.
But my client wants machine hour rate : no. labours worked X Time worked X rate per hour .
i.e he wanted to give time in labour time activity and no of employees worked in machine time the formula must claculate
Labour time X Machine time(No of Workers worked) X KP26 Price(Per Labour hour).
Can Any body help me please...
Rao

Check if there is an existing WC formula that you can use or create your own formula for the work center.
My challenge (at a different business, so I don't have the exact work in front of me, but I have notes) was Crew size x Machine Hours x Activity rate.
In the routing Operation Details is a section General Data.
There is a field: Number of Employees, field name ANZMA, That is where we populated Crew size
Use an existing formula if possible
Which formula do I use??
    Work Center Basic Data (CR02) determine standard value key
    Go to "Define Standard Value Key" in IMG (OP19); select std value key and click detail button
     Note the Parameter used                                        IMG path: Production>Basic Data>WorkCenter>General Data>Standard Value >Define Standard Value Key
    Go to "Define formulas for work centers" in IMG (OP54); select formula that uses the field parameters required          IMG path: Production>Basic Data>WorkCenter>Capacity Planning>Work Center Formulas>
                     Define formulas for work centers
Not there? Create the formula
     In English - what do you want to calculate?
     Find parameters for the fields in the calculation
     Write formula (op54) Copy from existing formula if possible - spaces in the equation are necessary
                         OP17 is where to create new Parameters.
This is all configuration - with some high leve security (in our system). Configur and TEST CAREFULLY

Work Center takes only 6 activity types

Hi
I    have   6 types of labor activity type ( L1 to L6 ) , 1 machine and 1 set up. Total 8 activity types.
Now   if   the planned labor is eg L1, the actual may be L6. But    I cannot assign     all   6 labor type in the work center.    Work center allows only upto 6 activity types.
I   checked in HR module, where in   CAT2 we can   record ACTUAL activity type / order / employee data. This can be moved to controlling.      But when it is planning, then I dont know.
How can I   accomodate all 6 labor type in the work center.
Thanks
kamala

Hi Kamala
If you are in a production order scenario -
You will have to create 2 work centers... One for Labor and another for Machine/Set up... there by you will have 2 operations in routnig
If you are in a process order scenario -
You can do with one single work center... This will accomodate 6 act types..
Apart from work center, there is a concept of "Secondary Resource" in Process order scenario, which can accomodate your other 2 act types...

Activity Type Changes in Work Center

Hi Experts,
We now want to change the activity type in a work center, and hope all the routings that have the work center being changed automatically. Currently, the existing routings can not be changed automatically. Is there a way to have all the routings changed as well?
Best Regards,
Helen

Hi,
In Costing tab next to the activity you should find a check box for Reference Indicator. If this is ticked, then the changes done in work center will be automatically read into routings.
If it is not, then you will have to manually change in routings. For individual, you can use CA02, for mass work with CEWB, working area as SAP_OPERATION

Check with the business process field for assign with your CO guy in thw WC.

When executing a business process, activities can be utilized for several cost centers of a controlling area.

Active version in work center

Hi Gurus,
We have maintained various versions in SPRO under production-basic data-work center-capacity planning-active version of available capacity.
For a particular main work center we enter the active version in capacity header tab in the work center.
If I create a maintenance work order for that particular work center then
Do this active version gets copied to maintenance order ? ( currently it is not getting copied )
Do we have settings where in we can make this as a default value in maintenance order ? ( whatever set in work center will be copied to maintenance order )
My client have to enter version in every maintenance order created. The quantum is very large.
So client would like to have this active version copied from work center to maintenance order, like wise master data from an equipment gets copied to notification or order while being created.
Kindly reply at the earliest.
regards,
Maneesh

Hi ,
In standard SAP there is no field in maintenance order operation or order that captures Active version of Work Center capacity .., In which field ur currently entering manually ?
If u have defined any custom field in order operation to capture this data , then try to use user exit : IWO10016 PM Order: Cust. enhancement to check operation user fields to get this data automatically in Order operation from work center ..

Open that error message, and check what it says under Procedure. and do as per that.
Another thing, check what is the Work center cat. under basic data tab, it should be 0006 (project management)

Different activity type for different capacity category in a work center

Hello,
Multiple capacity categories can be created in a work center like
Engineer
Sr. Engineer
Architect
Rates for all of them will be different (obviously) , however we can only have 1 activity type as default in a work center . We intend to 'HR assignment' corresponding to each capacity category . how can we have multiple activity type for different capacities (Engineer , architect etc).
With regards,
Mrinal

Hi Paulo,
thanks for your quick reply.
Requirement is to assign all persons (Engineer, architect ) to 1 work center and to 1 activity , but to default different activity type (corresponding to capacity category) in worklist of time sheet .
