Sunitha
Hi, Sunitha,
Of course you can use any unit of measure, and you can use your-self defined unit of measure for the activity measure. e.g. some transportation department use the Kilometre for its activity type.
Usually the activity type is by time is due to the time is reasonable for labor or machine's cost allocation. Each activity type price is independent to products, so the more time processed to a product, the more cost should be charged to the product. And the time is easy for collection both for plan or actual.

Activity prices are not matching compare to previous year
Dear Sap Guru's,
Activity prices are not matching for the year 09 compare to 08.But standard cost estimation is correct.how it is possible.can you guide me how system calculates activity prices.
Ex: My client having business in egypt.Last year they started thier business at this time activity prices are maintained for INDO OH :13.81, Labur 0.44 per Min plan price 1.It is common for whole year -08.
Now I copied the same activity prices for this year through kp97 by selecting object currency for both plan and cost.under planning currency tab.
Activity prices are showing for IND oh is 17.14 ; instead of 13.81 and labour it is showing 0.55 instead of 0.44.
Pls guide me.
Regards
KUMAR.Hi,
guess you are using a controlling area currency (A) thats different from company code currency (B).
First check if the prerequisites within KP97 / button "planning currencies" are met when ticking "object currency" and using the F1-help especially the point
"It only makes sense to activate this indicator if you have activated all
currencies
1. when copying: in the source and target versions".
Whatever the reason is, your KP97 copy did the following thing:
For each CO area and plan version there are settings for each fiscal year to be made (IMG: Controlling / General Controlling / Organization / maintain versions, mark the relevant version choose "Controlling area settings", mark it again and choose "settings for ecah fiscal year".
Compare your 2 fiscal years, which exchange rate type (can be different, normally its "P") and value date (its often the first day of the new FY) is used?
If you have a difference in minimum one of the mentioned settings in CO version you might have different act. prices in comp. code currency.
Your KP97 process copied the values in controlling area currency (A) and converted this numbers to comp. code currency (B) based on your CO-version settings.

CK11n with activity prices from different plan versions
Hello,
We are looking for a simple & practical way to calculate a standard cost estimate for a material using activity prices from different CO plan version.
In the valuation variant of the costing variant the CO plan version is determined from where the activity prices are taken, eg version 0
So, we want to cost the same material using the activity prices of a different plan version, eg 90, or 91 ... but without using a different costing variant per CO plan version(so without having to create/customize a separate costing variant per CO plan version)
Is this possible?
Can we use costing versions in this respect?
Many thanks
AlainHi,
Thanks for quick feedback ... but how do you assign this valuation variant in the costing version... ?
Can you enter is in CK11n? or what transaction needs to be customized?
Thanks, Alain -
Fiscal year independent Activity price determination
Hi,
I have a question regarding the activity prices in Controlling.
We have a activity price plan(KP26 transaction) which is same every year. We do not want to copy this price every year . Is there a way to get this price for any year. Currently system gets the error KL023 'no control record for activity type controlling area/ cost center/ activity type in version 0000/ fiscal year activity planning /quantity planning.
Configuration also does not allow to eliminate/control KL type messages.
We have the activity type defined as follows.
1. Activity category as 1. manual entry manual allocation
2. Price category as 3. Determined manually
Best regards
DeepakHi,
Activity price in kp26 is used to valuate the production orders activity confirmation.
Plan Price in KP26 should be updated every month as per standard business practice.
If your business scenario does not necessiate the same than its fine.
Changing the same in the middle of the year is no such problem depending upon business scenario.

Dear All,
We are into cement industry and we are following the Process Order as a cost object.
Here I have an issue where in when we have process order and Activities also got confirmed now when I am seeing the cost analysis system is not showing the Activity prices in Actual.
As per the process before running the splitting structure system should consider the plan price and it show the same as Actual Activity but in the system it is not showing any values.
All the values are showing as u201C0u201D.
Can anyone help me out to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance for your great support.
Thanks,
KK.Hi,
check SAPNET notes 155282 and 380282 they can be really helpful for your analysis why the cost are missing.

Activity Price in Cost Component Structure
Hi,
After costing run I have updated Activity Price in KP26.. I want to see latest activity price in Cost component structure e.g. Labour Activity and Machine Activity..cost for this a) Is it require re-costing run? b) how can we calculate activity price? e.g. total base qty/confirmed qty *no.of hrs. can you please corret me my formula I have maintain in KP26 capcity 500 and fixed price 10. I am able to see machine hrs. 6 in Resource data..
Thanks
SrinuHi Srinu,
Do you mean that, just after changing the KP26 values, u are expecting the same to reflect in your cost component structure of materials? KP26 is only to plan the price of an activity type in a cost center. This will be applicable for the future period. ie when operations are confirmed in production orders in future, this costs will be absorbed to the production order.
Use S_ALR_87013611 or similar reports for actual activity prices(debits) and actual activity quantities. Former divided by later will give you the actual per unit activity price for the last period.( in case of 1 to 1 relationship between cost center and activity).

Higher activity price in cumulative run in Material Ledger
Hello,
Scenario:
The company is using material ledger and doing periodic run. After the periodic run, company post financial transaction and run cumulative run to take impact of financial transactions.
During cumulative run, system is using actual price of the last month and revaluation the cumulative qty with this price. Due to no catual activity, the prices are very high. Due to this, system is revaluating cumulative quantities of all months with very high price (of last month).
Please suggest to resolve this issue?

Revaluation of activity prices in CO
Did anybody tell me about what it mean by revaluation of activity prices??
Is revaluation is necessory at the period end??
If we want dont want revaluation then what should be do???Hi ranjeet,
The activity prices for each activity should be regularly updated by costing person so that the material valuation can be corrected over the changing period.
Due to variances in raw material's price it may be the case that one raw material may have diff. price range in different period.So for correct valuation of material prices at each period end, it should be changed as per the costing dept's need.
If you dont want to maintain this, you have to go for the <b>Standard price</b> for the material other than Variable price.
Reward if it hepls.

CK11N :: Activity Price calculations
Hi Friends,
During the costing run in CK11N transaction, we are facing a little bit issue with activity value calculation. System is providing accurate times as per routings and also displaying correct rate as mentioned in activity, but during calculation, it is making something else value.
e.g. for an activity according to routing system is calculating 0.04 Mins, which is accurate, and displaying activity rates as 148.89 Inr/Hr. According to calculations, system should calculate as
148.89 / 60 * 0.04 = 0.10, whereas system is generating the value of 0.15.
Can you please suggest how system is calculating the values and are we doing some wrong calculation or we have to make some another way for calculating the activity values.
Your kind response is appreciable.
Rgds, Krishan Raheja.Activity Price is calculated on Interative basis. See whether you have run the Actual Activity price calculation through TC: KSII.

Error while updating the Actual Activity Prices
Dear All,
While calculating the Actual activity prices under test run (KSII) ,the system is calculating the prices correctly, but when I run the KSII after deselecting the test run ,the system is giving the following error message:
Cost center EE04301000 activity type RWKHRS: costs exist although activity 0
Message no. KP250
Diagnosis
The plan or actual activity for cost center EE04301000, activity type RWKHRS is 0. However, costs were planned or posted in period(s) 1.
System Response
The SAP System cannot calculate activity prices for this activity type as this would involve division by zero. The plan or actual costs are ignored in activity price calculation.
Procedure
Check activity price calculation in planning for activity type RWKHRS in cost center EE04301000 and the costs planned for period(s) 1.
Activity Type Planning
Primary Cost Planning
For activity price calculation in actual, actual costs are allocated onto the activity type through splitting, although no activity posting was made on this activity type.
The scenario is that we have 4 activity types and planned costs/activity qty for all the 4 activities and calculated plan prices and posted actual costs for all the four types. Production Order created and confirmed only 3 activities out of 4 activities. And when we calculate the Actual prices for all 4 activities the system is giving the above said message.
Please suggest as how to solve this issue.
Regards
SubbuHi Subbu
The error is very much justified.. If your actual qty for any act type is zero, then division by zero would yield an error during activity price calculatoin
You need to ignore this error, if the zero qty for 4th act type is justified.. System would post act price for remaining 3 act types...

Activity price not getting updated at Production order
Hi All,
I have made activity dependent planning at cost centre and calculated the activity rate. The activity rate is showing correctly for the cost centre in KP26, but while confirming the production order (CO11N) the the activity price is not getting updated in production order. But material price is getting properly updated at production order.
Plz help me in identifying the possible areas of mistakes.
Regards,
BKDHi,
Please check the Period for which you have created the ht activity price is same as the period in the conformation. In the workcenter in which you are confirming please check whether the activities are assigned to the work center.

At the time of actual activity price calculatoin with diffenrent currency
Dear Friends,
I am facing some problems. Followings are the information/Problems:
Controlling Area Currency - USD
Company Code currency - INR
Exchange rate - M type - 46.90
Exchange rate - P type 46.90
This problem is due to problem-1. At the time of actual activity price calculatoin, I am geeting huge price because system has multiplied (problem-1) and now system is taking posted amount in usd to calcualte actual activity price and according to my observation after calcualtion in usd system is converting price into INR
Questions - 1. What is the logic of calculation of actual activity price.
2. As I feel after analyses that sytems is taking posted cost in controlling area currecy and then calculating price and then converting into INR,
Is my theory correct in term of SAP standard functionality. is there any method by when system take only posted figure in inr for activity price calcualtion.
Please reply as soon as possible.
Thanks1. If you are using common controlling area with two different participating company code currency, then you have to use group controlling currency and integrate the other company code currency with parallel currency defined in the FI ledger. Hope this is design principle based on which you have selected group currency.
2. In case group currency controlling then non-participating currency should calculate the activity rates in group currency. Meaning you have define the activity rates at EUR currency and remember this has to accepted globally.
This is key drawback where you cannot define activity rates in INR, whereas there is no option activity type creation to give object currency as INR.
Hope this clarifies. -
Actual activity price does not exist for cost center / activity type
Hi,
We are trying to upload the time sheet related data(number of hours an employee workred on a project) ect from Non SAP to SAP.
We have used a customized program and have loaded the data from se38.
All this HR data will be saved in CAT2
Later we transfer the time related data into SAP FI/CO using CAT7.
+When tested with a couple of employees time sheets, they got uploaded in SE38 proerly and when transfered it through CAT7 it was properly taking the hour*rate is cost and was reflecting in the respective cost element.
For a few time sheets in SE38 we were getting an error saying that the cost center(100501)/ activity type(EAT001) does not exist for 2010.
Hence we have taken, FY 2010, the cost centes and activity types in KP26 and have given the planned Activity as 1. No planned cost in KP06.
We have run the price calculation forr the FY 2010.
Then we were able to uplaod the time sheets, but when we tried to transfer the data through CAT7, it throws an error saying no activity price exist for cost center 100501/ activity type EAT001. If I ignore the warning an proceed, no amount is being calculated.
When uploaded employee time sheets before, all the cost were getting claculated and were entering into the respective cost elements, but now no amounts are being calculated and it is taking Zero.
When checked the previous years data i.e, 2009 all amounts are fine, in KSII I can see the activity quantity filled with some numbers in 2009, where from are they comming? I have checked KBk6 nothing was mentioned.
PLease assit
Regards,
shilpaHi
I never used CAT* though, but the error means that you need to maintain a activity price in KBK6 (Actual price)

PO: Condition type maintained in header level affect the price per unit
Hi,
When I create a PO (Tcode ME21N) with 2 line items:
Line Item 1: $5.00 per unit, order 1 unit
Line Item 2: $10.00 per unit, order 1 unit
Then I put a condition type: Transportation Charges of $10.00 at header level.
The system will auto calculate and proportionate the transportation charges into that 2 line items. So now, the price per unit of the 2 line items has been change:
Based on the formula [ (original price per unit * Transportation Charges / total order value) + original price per unit ]:
Line Item 1: $8.33 per unit [ ($5.00 * $10.00 / $15.00) + $5.00 ]
Line Item 2: $16.67 per unit [ ($10.00 * $10.00 / $15.00) + $10.00 ]
There are 2 things here that we want to do:
1. We donu2019t want the transportation charges affect the price per unit. Means we do not want the price per unit to be changed. We want the transportation charges stand alone on it owns.
2. Also, sometimes the transportation charges is paid to a different supplier, meaning the original order value paid to supplier A, and the transportation charges paid to the supplier B (which is a transportation company).
Can anyone advise how can I do this?
Thank you.hai;
give the transportation charges in item level
go to 'item details' tab and select individual item ,go to condition ,maintain the 'frb1' value seperatly for the two items in the PO.You can also assign seperate transportation vendor for items sepertly.
For selecting the transportation vendor ;you just select the line where you maintained the frieght value and click on the 'condition detail' button shown in the bottom of the screen then on next screen there is an option for giving the transportation vendor acccount no.
try
hope this will help you

Price per minute of Flash animation?
Hi,
I need to create 2 minutes of animated info graphics in Flash. What is the general formula for price per minute of Flash animation? I know it varies, though this would be high-end animation requiring lots of things to be animated, such as bar graphs, etc.
Thanks,
DanYou're right. It totally varies. Might be better to estimate how many hours you think it will take to complete and then decide on your price per hour.
