Activity Independent Cost and fixed activity dependent cost

Hello
In cost centre planning, how an activity independent cost is different from a fixed activity dependent cost? Are not the treatment of the two is same. B/c both ara fixed in nature and do not vary with activity output?

Hi
Activity Dependant cost is treated as Variable cost.... When you calculate act price, such costs are only divided by this act type
Activity Independant cost are only for Fixed Costs... These costs are split between all act types of a cost center during Actual Activity Price calculation

Activity Dependant and Independant Cost in real time scenarios

Hi SAP Gurus,
I know what is activity Dependant and independant costs. But i would like to know in the realtime scenario what are the costs that would be treated as activity dependant costs and how thay will be handled.
You answer would be suitably rewarded with points
Thanks in advnace

Hi
In real time based on client practices, the cost/activity plan will be based on activity dependant cost.
ex: There is Quality control department and it carries out testing of the products.
now, to get plan/budgeted cost/activity, we can choose the requied cost elements to be planned for the period.
like:
the cost elements are
QC cost elements
Salararies & Benefits
Indirect Materials
Indirect Expeneses
and fixed expenses
for above cost elements we do cost/activity dependant plan and calculate the cost per i hour of testing based on parameters.

Activity dependant planning and Activity independent planning

Hello gurus,
Can anyone please explain the difference between the Activity Dependant Planning and Activity Independant Planning with some examples
thanks
rihana
Please, search Web

Hi Rihana,
Activity indipendent planning : Activity-independent cost planning covers both primary and secondary costs, but does not refer to a specific activity type. Eg : internal and external distribution
Activity-dependent planning : Activity-dependent planning of primary and secondary costs, on the other hand, enables you to plan both fixed and variable costs. You may require this functionality if your costing system uses flexible standard costing based on marginal costs. In this release you can carry out flexible standard costing based on full costs.
This means fixed costs are used to calculate the cost rates and are in effect converted to variable costs.

Activity Independent Costs -Splitting Equally

Dear All,
When I try to split the Activity Independent Costs among various activity types ,Independent costs are being splitted equally among the activity types,even though I have selected splitting method as 12 (i.e. Activity Quantity) while configuring the splitting structure.
Actually the system should have splitted the independent costs based on Activity qty instead of splitting the costs equally.
Please help me out as how get the splitting of costs based activity qty.
Regards
Su

Hi
Your splitting structure has 2 parts
1. Where in you define rule.. here you defined rule based on 012 (Qct Qty)
2. You create Assignments and assign your splitting rule here... I hope you have assigned the splitting rule here in the assignments
3. I hope the fiscal year from which you assigned cost centers to splitting rule in OKEW is also in line
4. Also check if you defined your target cost version in case you are doing splitting based on actual cost (KSS2)
5. Also, in splitting rule, I hope you have assigned a cost element group containing all your cost elements to this group and also your activity types between whom the costs are to be split up (In the tab "Selection for assignment)"
Once you do this, activity indep costs split based on act qty only... (KSS2/KSS4)...

Activity variable and fixed price

Planned
Cost center 3104
Cost element 4402 Activity (MACHIN) Category 1 Dependent Variable $.2000
Planned Hours 100 in KP 26 for MACHIN
Run distribution cycle Sender Common cost center to Receiver 3104 cost center
Cost element 4402 value come on 3104 $.1000
Run Assessment cycle Sender Common cost center to Receiver 3104 cost center
Assessment Cost element AS4402 value come on 3104 $.500
I run KSPI for calculation activity prices, result is
MACHIN 2000/100 = 20 Variable
MACHIN 1000/100 = 10 Fixed
Q. Why system ignoring assessment cost?
Q. I need system should calculate 3000+500/100 = 35 as Variable

Hi Suraj
Thanks for reply,
Actually I have 5 activity types and all maintained equvelance number 1 for cost center/activitiy types.
I am writing again my question.
I have Chart of account having Variable and Fixed GLs separately. Some cost will be posted directly on production cost center via Variable and Fixed cost elements. Cost on common cost center will be allocated through Distribution and Assessment on Production cost centers. Client requirement is
Prices for all 5 activities Variable & Fixed Separately. No proper solution was found and i planned cost activity dependent and result is OK in KSPI but allocated cost impact is zero. I have created a splitting structure and find that splitting is only possible for fixed price calculation.
How i can calculate Variable and Fixed prices for all activities.
Suraj hopefully you understand my problem. let me ur cell number i'll call u or e mail address i'll mail you screen shots.
waiting for reply
regards

How to Investigate and Fix Dependency Chains

I have a package that is currently running but is displaying the following warning message:
Warning: 0x80049305 at Data Flow Task, SSIS.Pipeline: The package contains data flow components with multiple inputs. Run-time dependencies that exist among these components may increase memory usage and reduce performance. Consider removing the dependency
chain for the following component IDs and output IDs: 1790(1851) 667(671) 1890(1915) 680(752) , to improve performance.
How do I go about investigating and removing the dependency chain for the listed component and output IDs? I can't seem to locate them.
Thanks!

the phrase "data flow components with multiple inputs" is the key
I imagine you have such a case where you feed multiple inputs.
If you show us a picture of the package somebody would point you out to it.

How do I Help Apple Care Stop Warring with Each Other and Fix the Problem with My iPhone that They Acknowledge Creating?

How Do I Help Apple US & Apple Europe Stop Warring With Each Other And Fix The Problem They Created?
PROBLEM
Apple will not replace, as promised, the iPhone 5 (A1429 GSM model) that they gave me in London, UK, with an iPhone 5 (A1429 CDMA model).
BACKGROUND
My iPhone 5 (A1429 CDMA model) was purchased this year in September on an existing Verizon Wireless (VZW) line using an upgrade. The purchase took place in California and the product was picked up using Apple Personal Pickup through the Cerritos Apple Retail Store. I will refer to this phone at my "original" phone.
The original phone was taken into the Apple Store Regent Street in London, England, UK on November 15, 2012. The reason for this visit was that my original phone's camera would not focus.
The Apple Store Regent Street verified there was a hardware problem but was unable to replace the part.
The Apple Store Regent Street had me call the US AppleCare. At first they denied support, but then a supervisor, name can be provided upon request, approved the replacement of my original phone with an iPhone 5 (A1429 GSM model) as a temporary solution until I got back in the US. And approved that the GSM model would be replaced with a CDMA model when I came back to the US. I will refer to the GSM model as the "replacement". They gave me the case number --------.
The Apple Store Regent Street gave me the replacement and took the original. The first replacement did not work for reasons I do not understand. They switched out the replacement several times until they got one that worked on the T-Mobile nano SIM card that I had purchased in England, UK. Please refer to the repair IDs below to track the progression of phones given to me at the Apple Store Regent Street:
Repair ID ----------- (Nov 15)
Repair ID ----------- (Nov 16)
Repair ID ----------- (Nov 16)
The following case number was either created in the UK or France between November 15 to November 24. Case number -----------
On November 19, 2012, I went to France and purchased an Orange nano SIM card. The phone would not activate like the first two repair IDs above.
On November 24, 2012, I went to the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps. The Genius told me that my CDMA phone should not have been replaced with a GSM model in the UK and that this was clearly Apple's fault. They had me call the AppleCare UK.
My issue was escalated to a tier 2 UK AppleCare agent. His contact information can be provided upon request. He gave me the case number -----------.
The UK tier 2 agent became upset when he heard that I was calling from France and that the France Apple Store or France AppleCare were not helping me. He told me that my CDMA phone should not have been replaced with a GSM model in the UK and that this was clearly Apple's fault.
The UK tier 2 agent said he was working with engineers to resolve my problem and would call me back the next day on November 25, 2012.
While at the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps, a Genius switched the phone given to from repair ID ----------- with a new one that worked with the French nano SIM card.
Also, while at the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps, I initiated a call with AppleCare US to get assistance because it seems that AppleCare UK was more upset that France was not addressing the issue rather than helping me. I have email correspondance with the AppleCare US representative.
A Genius at the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps switched the replacement with a new GSM model that worked on the French SIM card but would not work if restored, received a software update, or had the SIM card changed. This is the same temporary solution I received from the Apple Store Regent Street in the UK.
By this point, I had spent between 12-14 hours in Apple Store or on the phone with an AppleCare representative.
Upon arriving in the US, I went to my local Apple Store Brea Mall to have the replacement switched with a CDMA model. They could not support me. He told me that my CDMA phone should not have been replaced with a GSM model in the UK and that this was clearly Apple's fault. My instructions were to call AppleCare US again.
My call with AppleCare US was escalated to a Senior Advisor, name can be provided upon request, and they gave me the case number -----------. After being on the phone with him for over an hour, his instructions were to call the Apple Store Regent Street and tell them to review my latest notes. They were to process a refund for a full retail priced iPhone 5 64BG black onto my credit card so that I could use that money to buy a new iPhone 5 64GB black at the Apple Store Brea Mall to reoslve the problem.
The Apple Store Regent Street did not process my refund. He, name can be provided upon request, told me that the AppleCare US did not do a good job reviewing my case, that they were incapable of getting to the bottom of it like they were, and instructed me to call AppleCare US and tell them to review this case number and this repair id. I asked if he read the notes from the AppleCare US Senior Advisor and he would not confirm nor deny. When I offered to give him the case number he accepted but it seemed like would do no good. Our call was disconnected. When I tried calling back the stores automated system was turned on and I could not get back through.
Now I have the full retail price of an iPhone 5 64GB black CDMA on my credit card and Apple will not process the refund as they said they would.
I've, at this point, spent between 14-16 hours at Apple Stores or on the phone with AppleCare representatives, and still do not have the problem resolved.
SOLUTION
AppleCare US and AppleCare Europe need to resolve their internal family issues without further impacting their customers.
Apple is to process a refund to my credit card for the cost of a full retail priced iPhone 5 64GB black.
DESIRED OUTCOMES
I have an iPhone 5 (A1429 CDMA model) that works in the US on VZW as it did before I received the replacement phone in the UK.
Apple covers the cost of the solution because I did not create the problem.
Apple resolves their internal issue without costing me more time, energy, or money.
This becomes a case study for AppleCare so that future customers are not impacted like I have been by their support system.
Does anyone have recommendations for me?
Thank you!
<Edited by Host>

Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?

Prior to the subscription models—and of course that includes CS4—the Photoshop license was platform specific, either Windows or Mac, but not both. Your CS4 Windows serial number ("key") will never work on the Mac version.
CS4 is out of the loop as far as requesting a platform swap for a nominal fee. It is no longer supported by Adobe in any way. A platform swap required the destruction of your PC version, so you could not use both the PC and the Mac versions.
For a time, you could have used CS4 to upgrade to CS6 for about $200, but that time window has closed by now. Now you would have to own a legitimate version of CS5 in order to be eligible to buy an upgrade to CS6.
You can of course buy the full version of Photoshop CS6 Extended for $1,000 from the Adobe store:
Creative Suite 6
Alternatively, you can subscribe to Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC2014 on a monthly basis without ever owning the software. If you stop paying monthly, the software ceases to work.
The cheapest subscription is the Photography plan, which includes both Photoshop and Lightroom for $10 a month.

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If under warranty, as you say (the warranty is transferable) and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost.

How to back up "The disk has S.M.A.R.T. errors" and fix the errors

My computer won't start up past the login screen so first i tried Safe Mode [Shift+Start up] didn't work . Then I tried to reinstall software [Command+R+Start Up] my apple logo turned into a circle with a line through it and the gear never stopped spinning [about half hour later] so I turned it off. I then tried to reset the NVRAM [Command+Option+P+R] and I got to a screen that said "Mac OS X Utilities" from there I went to Disk Utility and saw that my disk had S.M.A.R.T. errors. I clicked "Repair Disk" and it found the problem and fixed it apparently. However, when I tried to reinstall Lion I got this image
So I have a few questions:
If my disk is corrupted, why did it say the repair worked ?
If my disk is corrupted, how can I back up the files if I can't login ?
Is it possible to repair the S.M.A.R.T. errors ?
I want to AT THE VERY LEAST back up my photos and a few documents, is there any way I can put those files onto a USB through Disk Utility ?
Thanks in advance

You cannot repair the disk. It has a hardware error. DU was apparently unable to repair it. If you have another Mac that you could connect via Firewire or Thunderbolt, then you can put your computer into Target Disk Mode and try recovering your files onto the other computer. Beyond that it would depend on the nature of the disk's problem.

Fixed PPM/PDS resource consumption and fixed PPM/PDS material consumption

hi experts
while going through help.sap to find out the meaning of linear optimization i came across two phrases ""fixed PPM/PDS resource consumption and fixed PPM/PDS material consumption"" i have worked on SCC03 PPM and curto_simu PDS but i couldn't make out what these phrases means . my perception is that every shop floor operator is given a target to produce certain number of quantities per shift on a production line .Does these phrase means that ?? or it has some other connotation. ??
experts can you please provide clarity on those phrases.what does it actually mean ?

sahu it is even more confusing see "Fixed PPM consumption is the fixed time required independent of quantity produced.""
fixed time of what ?? is it the resource timing or shift timing
Time required to produced material consumption quantity = Fixed cons + variable cons
can i say it is the time required to produce a given lot size quantity ??
sahu would you please put it in very layman terms.

Windows Vista, Itunes 10.7, ipod Classic, scan and fix message - why?

I am trying to connect my wife's Ipod Classic to our Windows Vista computer. I get a Scan and Fix Message for the Ipod from Windows. I don't let it scan and click continue. Itunes is frozen and won't recognize the ipod. This has happened since upgrading to Itunes 10.7. Also Itunes is choppy in playing all video content since upgrading to Itunes 10.7.
I have checked system requirements and driver upgrades. So far I have no fix. One site recommended turning off WiFi sync for all devices in Itunes. But of course the device must be connected, and mine won't connect. All my itunes video is languishing. :-(

Wi-Fi sync won't apply since you have an iPod Classic and it doesn't contain any Wi-Fi hardware.
To get rid of the Scan and Fix error, see this page: http://www.yourlocaltech.com/resolve-vista-scan-and-fix-error-when-plugging-in-i pod-or-other-devices/
We'll start there for now.

Purchase Order and Fixed Asset Module.

Hi all,
I want to print my purchase order of fixed asset for record purposes. But the thing, I can't link purchase order or any of A/P documents to my fixed asset.
Meaning, if A/P invoice has been added into the system, it will not update my fixed asset master data.
Therefore, I have to use PO for printing, since there's no way to print Fixed Acquisition as a document. By doing this, i need to maintain both Item Master Data and Fixed Asset Master Data with Fixed Asset items, which i find tedious.
Is there a solution for this, like perhaps there's a way to copy info from PO to FA acquisition, or Posted A/P Invoice that contains Fixed Asset item will be linked to FA Acquisition, or perhaps there's a way to print FA Acquisition (like a PLD) that i am not aware of?
Please do help.
Thanks upfront!
Rgrds,
Kevin
Edited by: Kevin Lau Sieh Huo on May 20, 2008 7:25 AM

Hi Kevin,
I am afraid to inform you that the print layout function is not
supported for Fixed asset transactions such as acquisition.
As you mentioned, if you want to use it as PO document, you will need to create PO in business one since no integration is realized between Purchasing in business one and acquisition in Fixed asset addon.
If you think this will have critical impact on your business process, please post your requirement in our SAP Business One Product Development Collaboration.

Report for Reorder point, safety stock, current stock and fixed lot size

Hi,
Purchasing Dept. is looking for a report which can give list of materials falling below the reorder point, so that they can go ahead and create procurement proposals for those materials.
They also want to see the Reorder Point, Safety Stock, current stock and fixed lot size in the same report.
Let me know if there ia any standard report availbale which displays the same or any approach to get the same.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Shankar Goud.

Hi,
There is no standard report because this is meant to be managed by the MRP run.
The MRP lists show all materials that have a problem (such as stock below reorderpoint) but MRP generates requirements for these anyway and so all you need to do is to look for the MRP generated requirements (requisitions?) and you have your list?
Are you using MRP?
If so then please use the standard functions in MRP to get this.
If not, then WHY NOT?
