Activity Prices as Zero and in Decimal

Dear Gurus,
In accordance to our project requirement we need to fulfill the following two scenarios:-
a) Activity Prices as Zero.
b) Activity pricess in 4 decimal places, eg, 4.8989.
The problem is
a) When I put the activity price as 0, the system does not update it once I save it.
b) When I put the activity price as 4.8989 and I save it becomes 48.989
Regards,
Vidyarthi.

Please tell what do you mean by "the system does not update it once I save it". Does the field grey out?
Regarding point b) if you want to change the decimal places for currency you can do so in OY04 (its cross client). But it is not recommended as this will impact the existing records in your system and make all the current records invalid (due to change in decimal place). Can you please tell me which currency with four decimal places you are presently using?
Regards,
Ajinkya

KSII - Trying to split the activity price in fix and var

Hi gurus,
does anibody know if is possible calculating the actual activity price split in fix and var?
I know the percentage in which i'd like to split the price, for example 75% and 25% for Cost Center Group XXX; 60% and 40% for Cost Center Group YYY and so on...
Is it possible to do something in the system in order to obtain the price split?
As it is now, the price is all fix.
Thanks,
Enrico

Hi Enrico
It is possilbe... For that you need to plan costs in KP06 like that.... i.e. You need to do activity dependant planning in KP06 so that you will be able to enter Plan values - Both Fixed and variable
You would agree that Act Price is Plan Cost / Plan Qty... So, the Numerator i.e. Plan Cost has to be planned as such in order to get the output as fixed and variable price
Thats the only possible way and no other option exists

Activity price calculation without activity not possible.

Hi,
I got the following error when I execute KSII ;
Activity price calculation without activity not possible.
Message no. KP230
Diagnosis
A program error occurred during activity price calculation. The SAP System could not determine the activity price for activity type 250902 in cost center 25093015 because only costs were entered, not activity quantities. The SAP System calculates the activity price by dividing the costs by the activity quantity.
System Response
The SAP System sets the activity price to zero.
Procedure
Inform your system administrator.
Please advice why the error occured?

Hi SAP Genes,
I am finding an error in One of our Product line "HPI India" where our Cost of Sales Accounting actual COGS cost is very less in comparison with the standard as in the past.as it is marked, as expected as we set it up in the begining of the Year we use Standard Cost we use Aug-July FY, only we are facing this error for this FY 11-12.
Please take a look at the COGS for HPI. which is marked in Blue all these cost are Highlited, The actual COGS cost is very less in comparison with the standard as in the past.
And for rest of the Product Line item is working fine,
Please suggest me the cause, i am attaching the Analysis sheet as well for your guidance.

KSII activity prices not calculation (actual)

Hi
During Actual Price calculation KSII following is error message :
All activity prices are manually entered
Message no. KP211
Diagnosis
All activity prices in controlling area HGC, fiscal year 2011, and version 0 were determined and set as manually entered prices.
In actual price calculation, all plan activity prices, meaning those calculated automatically (activity price indicator 1 and 2) and those set manually (activity price indicator 3), are treated as if they have been set manually.
System Response
The SAP System cannot calculate activity prices automatically.
Processing is cancelled.
Procedure
Check your activity type planning. To calculate the activity price automatically, you must set the activity price indicator accordingly.

Hi Imdad
Go to KL02 and set your Actual Price Indicator so that it allows to calculate Actual Price through system
There are 2 such fields - Plan Price Indicator and Actual Price Indicator... I think you have presently chosen MANUAL price indicator

Activity prices maintained manually..Is KSII/MFN1 possible?

Hi Experts,
We have this scenario:
1. Activity prices are entered manually in KP26.
2. All Costs are maintained as Activity independent costs.
3. For Production Cost centers, some costs (primary costs) are Activity relevant and others not relevant at all for Activity.
4. No Splitting structure maintained so far.
Now, we are considering calculating Actual Activity prices through KSII and then MFN1 for revaluating Process orders.
I tried KSII in our test system, where I got the following error message # KP211. I even tried by maintaining the Actual Activity type category '01' and Actual price indicator '05' in AT master, but no luck.
Short Text
All activity prices are manually entered
Diagnosis
All activity prices in controlling area , fiscal year , and version were determined and set as manually entered prices.
In actual price calculation, all plan activity prices, meaning those calculated automatically (activity price indicator 1 and 2) and those set manually (activity price indicator 3), are treated as if they have been set manually.
System Response
The SAP System cannot calculate activity prices automatically.
Processing is cancelled.
Procedure
Check your activity type planning. To calculate the activity price automatically, you must set the activity price indicator accordingly.
Proceed
Questions:
1.Given our case, is it possible to do KSII/MFN1? If yes, what configuration and master setup is required?
2. What accounting/CO entry posted MFN1. Especially, want to know if value also posted to CO-PA?
Thanks much for your time.
SC

Hi SC, 
 
sorry for my delay. 
 
Yes, you can process KSII even if you maintained planned activity prices manually. For this, the Activity type master should be activity price indicator "5" for Actual, hoever it's defalt value for planning (KP26). 
Could you check activity planning value in your period as follows; 
 
1. Go to transaction KP26 
2. Selection screen; 
 Set your version and year/period and also cost center/activity types in problem. 
 Push Next Layout button (Ctrl + F8) and set layout 1-204 (named "Control indicators"). 
3. Push "Overview screen" (F5) 
 
You can see plan price indicator and also ACTUAL price indicator, so you have to check if actual price indicator is not "7" or "Blank". If not, please set it with value "5" or "6". 
Hope you can understand what I wrote above, but if you have any queries, please feel free to ask me. 
 
Additonaly about your question regarding "activity independent" cost planning 
In F1 help document for field "Equivalence Numbers", there're useful description how activity-independent costs allocates activity type and activity prices calculates. If you do not use cost split or activity-depend planning, you can process activity price calculation by "Equivalence Numbers". it's easy-way to allocate cost to each activity type. you can see this field also in KP26 with layout 1-201 (sample) 
the following passage from field "Equivalence Numbers" F1 document. 
 
- Equivalence Numbers 
Weighting factor for distribution of activity-independent plan costs of a cost center onto the available activity types. 
- Use 
This field group serves to weight the activity types created in a cost center. After weighting, the activity-independent plan costs of a cost center are distributed onto the available activity types. 
-Procedure 
If you want to change or create equivalence numbers in planning, this field must be defined in the planning layout. If this field is not defined, any existing equivalence numbers will be displayed, but they cannot be changed. 
Examples 
You have planned the following activity types for cost center 4420: 
Activ. type Plan quantity Equiv. nr. 
 
FST 400 hrs 3 
REP 50 hrs 1 
RST 20 hrs 1 
 
 Total: 5 
This cost center has planned activity-independent costs worth $20,000 . These costs are distributed according to activity price calculation onto the iteratively calculated activity prices (cost rates) of the activity types: 
ATyp Fixed costs Fixed portion of activ. price 
 
FST 20,000 X 3/5 = 12,000 $12,000 / 400 hrs = 30 $/hr 
REP 20,000 X 1/5 = 4,000 $4,000 / 50 hrs = 80 $/hr 
RST 20,000 X 1/5 = 4,000 $4,000 / 20 hrs = 200 $/hr

Br, Vivek Srivastava

Hi Vivek,
"The error message KP211 is display by the system due
to the SAP System cannot calculate activity prices automatically.
(can you review the settings in the system).
The procedure that you have to follow is to review transaction code
KP26 and your activity types.
From viewpoint of actual price iteration all plan prices are political
in the sense that 'prices does not change during actual price
iteration'. If all activity types have indicator 1 then everything
will be evaluated with plan price in actual. So actual price iteration
has nothing to compute because no price will be changed. You have to
set price indicator to 5 or 6 in actual price indicator for at least
one activity type in order to calculate the actual activity price.
When you change some activity type master data in transaction KL02,
these changes take effect in all relevant tables, BUT please notice
that the values of TARKZ, TARKZ_I etc. are only DEFAULT values for
activity planning and therefore ONLY READ ONCE when the relevant
planning set is created. Subsequent changes to the master data (default
value) take not effect in the planning sets. You have to change the
values in every single planning set manually."
You indicates that for the activity types you have set in the master data
actual price indicator to 5 (Actual price, automatically based on
on activity). But this is only a default value and can be overwritten
for example during planning.
Please see table COKL for cost center / activity type if have an empty field for
the actual price indicator. Thus the system only finds the plan price
indicators during price calculation and message KP 211 is justified if
you consider the following part of the long text:
In actual price calculation, all plan activity prices, meaning those
calculated automatically (activity price indicator 1 and 2) and
those set manually (activity price indicator 3), are treated as if they
have been set manually.
In order to run KSII as expected by you, you have to execute trans.
KP26 for the cost center and activity type using layout 1-204
(Activity Types: Indicators).
Here you can set the actual price indicator to 5.
Afterwards there should be no further problem with KSII.
I hope helps,

I want to set up my spreadsheet to display 2 digits to the right of the decimal, even if zeros, and not have to do it to each individual cell.

I want to set up my spreadsheet to display two digits to the right of the decimal point, even if zeros, and not have to do it for each individual cell.

Select all the cells you want formatted that way (or the entire table if that's what you want)
Open the cell inspector
Set the format to "number" with 2 decimal places

Activity prices in KP26 used for actual and plan in version 0

We plan activity prices via KP26 in version 0. We then plan activity consumption via KP06, and run the plan reconciliation via KPSI.
During the year, we need to update the activity prices used in actual activity allocation. This price also comes from version 0.
When we change the activity price, the planned amounts change also. We are looking for a way to maintain a separate price for actual activity allocation.

Ajay,
Your answer definitely sent me down the right path...thank you!
For other's benefit, these are the steps I took to make this work:
1) set the "Purely Iter. Price" indicator in plan version 0
2) import planning layout 1-N01 from client 000 (OBKF)
3) add planning area "Cctr: Manual actual prices" to planning layout SAPALL (KP34)
4) add planning layout 1-N01 to planner profile SAPALL (KP34)
5) create and run custom program from note 551309 to add cost element field to the input screen in KBK6 (SE38)
6) transport planning layout for planning area "Cctr: Manual actual prices" (OKEX)
Now we can plan a price in KP26, and maintain a different price in KBK6 which is used in the actual activity allocation.
Thanks again,
Linda

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
Subbu

Hi 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...

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,
shilpa

Hi
I never used CAT* though, but the error means that you need to maintain a activity price in KBK6 (Actual price)

How to calculate actual activity price using cost center balance

I have a problem,the case is that: i have two pro.order. orderA settlement to cost center M; orderB is a standard pro.ord,and the work center of orderB link to cost center M. when i calculate the actual activity revaluation.the activity price update the PRO.ordA and B,and the cost center is zero.
when i settlement the order A,the cost center M is not balance,so i must calculate the actual activity revaluation again.
now,i want to calculate the actual activity revaluation from the cost center's balance,not the Dredit balance.so how can i calculate the actual activity revaluation

did you also assigned the cost centre to splitting structure?
what is not working? the cost are equally distributed on both activities?

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,
BKD

Hi,
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.
Thanks

1. 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.

Vendor code in Purchase order changed after invoice,net price showing zero.

Dear Experts ,
In one purchase order , user had done GR & invoice for a line item ( service ),item category "D" , and
thereafter somehow the system allowed user to change the vendor code. The PO line is now having amounts in
the sub-service line items , but net price for the line item is showing as zero. Since the PO was made
directly without any contract/RFQ/PR , there is no reference document or info record shown against the line
item.
In the conditions tab of Item details,the condition for basic price is not seen & since there are no amounts
applicable for the other conditions such as insurance , octroi etc., the NET price shown for the item is
Zero, which is also getting printed in the PO as zero , which is not acceptable , as we can not send to the
vendor PO copy having prices for individual services printed correctly but the total gross price showing
zero.
Pl advise what can be done so that Net Price is shown correctly & not zero.

I think the new vendor is having a different pricing schema than the old vendor. Check the pricing schema for the old vendor (in purchasing view in field 'Schema Group. vendor) and compare it to the new vendor. I think they're different.
If it is then what i think happening is the user already input the price for the condition type in pricing schema A, then the vendor is changed and the new pricing schema is kiciking in thus making the old condition type missing.
Try to either:
A. Change to the old vendor back,
B. Change the pricing schema of the new vendor to be the same with old vendor
