Activity independent in a work center

In a work center, When you define an activity-dependent quantity, the cost estimate is based in quantity. i.e.: lot size is 1000 and activity price is 10 usd.
if you change the lot size to 500, activity price will be 5 usd.
So, in case of activity-independent (i.e.: time of setup machine) that is independent of the quantity, how you customize this in a work center?

Hello Cetalina,
Set up time is not an activity independent for the machine... If you really have set up time for a machine as an acitivity then you have to assign this activity via standard value key.
Set up also base quantity dependent (Lot size dependent). In material master "work scheduling view" you can define the set up time for suppose base quantity 1000 is 10 minutes then every time during scheduling this time will be multiplied with base quantity...You have to manintained formula also. For costing create as activity as set up time to cost center and assign this to work center in costing tab with formula.
If you want to define the lot size independent then you can define total in house production time as lot size independent in the same view. There is no key to define setup time as independent time.
IF helpful please rewrads your points.OR let me know any more doubts.

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

It is not possible to assign more tha six actvities to a cost center as per SVK defined in the WC.
Check with the business process field for assign with your CO guy in thw WC.

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 ..

Work center determination

Hi Experts,
Our warehouse is having different VAS activities.
say VAS A, VAS B, VAS C.
They always perform VAS A and VAS B in workcenter 1 and VAS C in workcenter 2.
Product X has VAS activities VAS A + VAS B in work center 1
Product Y has VAS activity VAS C in work center 2.
But for Product Z has VAS activities VAS A + VAS B + VAS C needs to be performed. In this case client needs to perform all VAS activities in work center 1 only. Third VAS activity also needs to be performed in work center 1 only not in work center 2.
how to map this requirement?

Hi Steve,
Can you tell me how you are going to select which vas activity you are going to select.
means product base or customer base or some indicator base.

Overhead for each Work center

Hi all,
Presently we are calaculating the overhead for the total operations in the service order.Now the requirement is client want to have overhead for each workcenter user in the service order.
Lets say,there are 3 workcenters were used in the service order with 3 operations.Now instead of single overhead,they want three overhead in the order.I know this is not the right place to post this and I just thought some one could experianced this scenario in their projects.If so pl share with me.
Regards
Sureshbabu Arunachalam

hi
you can do this provided you have customized the costing sheet as per the requirement .Create separate Activity type for each work center with different cost element .
while creating the costing sheet create separate base row for the respective cost element and then fix the overhead percentage
Also kindly consult your CO person on this

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.

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
regards
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

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.
regards,
kaushik

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...
