Material ledger activity rate revaluation account determination modification

Scenario:
SAP ECC 617
Material ledger activated with activity rate revaluation (i.e. cost center over/under absorption posts to ML and not to production orders)
Standard SAP setup has PRV transaction key used to post both multi-level price differences to inventory and to capture the offset to the cost center clearing entries (GBB-AUI) causing the values to get comingled in the same account
Question:
For reporting purposes I would like to determine a unique account for the activity rate revaluation entries. There is no relevant general modifier available for transaction key PRV. Is it possible and practical to modify table T169A for a specific value string / field name combination that represents this material ledger transaction? If so, what is the combination? Or will this cause major issues with ML processing?
I'm trying to find a creative way to fill this gap without account substitution.

Hi Eric,
This is an interesting one.
Modifying value string might be an option but in my opinion is quite a serious "brain surgery" on the system :-).
You may want to try another option.
In SPRO -> Controlling -> General Controlling -> Organization -> Maintain Versions
for version 0, Controlling Area Settings, Settings for Each Fiscal Year in tab Price Calculation there is field Revaluation.
One of the options there is 'Own business transaction'. With this option posting to sending Cost Centre resulting from actual activity price revaluation will be posted with different Business Transaction (although same secondary cost element as original activity allocation).
In reports you can separate postings based on Business transaction.
It definitely works for Activity Update 1 (revaluation of production orders).
I'm not sure if it works for Activity Udate 2 (no revaluation of production orders).
Please let us know the results of your investigation.

Szymon

Planning Layout for Activity Rate

Hi
My Client is a German Company. Controlling Area currency is EURO, It has operations in India also.
For India, required to create BDC for Activity rate planning.
1. Is it necessary to create separate Planning Layout for INR currency?..I did not find any currency in standard layout.
2. Please explain how it works. whether it takes Cost Center currency or Controlling Area currency?
Regards
Pradeep Veer

Hi,
The standard setting for the leading currency plans the transaction currency for costs and the controlling area currency for prices. This is the Standard design. Please review 100379 & 183556 for further information on this.
Please pay attention to the following section of note 100379:
'Note: you can only change these settings in the following Transactions: KP97 (as of Release 3.1I) and KP98 (as of Release
4.6), as well as CP97 and CP98 (as of Release 4.6C). However, you should only carry this out after you have taken Note 183556 into account.'

Process after planning activity rates in CO

Hi:
My question may sound very basic to you but please bear with me as i am new to this process. I have defined planned activity rates for two cost centers in CO.. Now i want to do the PP process using these cost centers. These cost centers contains rate for FOH,VOH and LABOR. I want to do PP process because only then i will be able to create standard cost estimate run and actual price calculation with variance analysis. We open process order as we are in fast moving consumer group company. Please guide me through the process. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Br

Hi,
If standard cost estimate is your goal, process orders have nothing to do with it.
Afterwards, you will be able to do cost object controlling, to control production costs.
These subjects are vast, and I don't think that you should expect to learn them in such a forum. Nevertheless, provided that your CO settings for standard cost estimate exist and are correct, on the PP side you need to have the so called "quantity structure", which basically covers your variable costs; in other words, a BOM and a Master Recepie.
In the phase of a MR you use a resource; you should link the cost center to the resource, and the avtivity type to the phase standard values.
Then you are able to run the SCE. There's also a later procedure of releasing these estimates.
Production cost controlling is even more complex.
In general, I think that it is a good idea that you get help from a knowledgeable person in the beginning.

KSII doesn't recalculate activity rates

Hi,
I've taken the following steps in order to configure cost splitting through activity types:
Configured transactions OKEQ and OKET
Created an activity type in KL01
Created a splitting structure in OKES, defining cost splitting to a certain group of cost element and an activity type
Associated the cost centers to the splitting structure in OKEW
Planned activity rates in t-code KP26
and, after real expenses posts...
executed transaction KSS2 (and it seems to be ok. The activity type appears on the details screen, etc.)
executed transaction KSII (as a test)
But, the real price isn't recalculated. The activity price planned (KP26) was:
Capacity: 176h - Unit.P $ 200,00.
Real posts were:
5h of activity (that generated posts of $ 1.000,00), and $ 5.500,00 of fixed costs in the period.
So, I'm trying to recalculate the activity rates in order to split the other $ 4.500,00 not alocated.
But, KSII doesn't update the activity rates. It keeps the planned values.
Is there any other configuration I'm forgetting?

All the relevant screens...
KL02
OKES
REPORT
KSPI
KSS2
And after KSII...

Activity Rate change

Hello Gurus,
I want to know how to change the activity price rate manually and also
Last month production order also I want to change the new activity rate (confirmed orders)
Can anyone give me the clarity on this,
(because I have confused on the below t code KP06,KP26 ,KBK6,KSII,KPSI,MFN1)
Regards
Sri

Hello Sri
Changing the price in KP26 now will not serve any purpose. You can not run the standard cost run at back date. The standard cost takes the planned activity price (if so configured). So your standard cost will remain the same. As far as charging to production orders is concerned, this will be taken care of by the revaluation. It does not make any difference if you update the KP26 plan and then confirm the production orders and then run the revaluation or you run the revaluation now. The total amount of the activities will be the same.
So I suggest you run the cycle for revaluation at actual prices rather than changing the KP26 rate. For the next month you may update the KP26 plan. The T. Codes you use for the entire cycle are as below:
KSU5 Execute actual assessment cycle (If you have assessment cycles defined)
KSS2 Actual cost splitting
KSII Actual price determination
CON2 Actual revaluation of orders
This is a month end process.
Trust this helps.
Best,
Sangram

Activity rate mismatch

1) I have set a manual price for the labour hour activity as 50.30 (Fixed 48.30 and variable 2) GBP however the standard cost estimate has calculated a total value of 937.20 for a quantity of 30 hours which means the activity rate used is only 31.24
Why is there such a mismatch?
2) How can i check the labour hours activity rates used in the CK11N itemization view?

Activity Rate Planning

Hi,
i wanted to know that is there any way where system proposes the activity rate for the next month.
For Example..we have maintained activity Rate for Period 1 in KP26, for the next period i.e. 2 before updating the same in KP26 is there any functionality available where system proposes the activity Rate for the next period.
If it exist the how it works.
Regards,
Vivek

HI,
what do you mean "propose"? You can do the CO-OM planning process and calculate activity rates (maybe for the whole fiscal year) or enter the rate manually for all periods of a fiscal year at once, but a "proposal" from SAP does not exist for your next months activity rate.
Best regards, Christian

Plan Activity rate coming wrong

Hi Gurus,
Plan Activity rate coming wrong while im creating production order.
In kp26 the prices are assebly 500 rs and Set up IS 500 RS.
In routing hours maintained is assemly 200 , setup 200 hrs
price should come in production order as assebly 100000 and set up is 100000,
but system not calculating price as above , its give price as 95000(apox) for assebly and set up is 97000 like that its showing.

Hi
The issue seems to be with Periodic Rate and Average rate for the year
Check your Valuation Variant for Prod Orders as to which rate it uses Vs which rate you want

Wrong activity rate pickup

Dear experts,
when I am doing cost estimate thru CK11 , system is not picking the current activity rates . The current rates are correctly updated in KP26. The valuation strategy is " plan price as average of remaining period of fiscal year". Can anyone please explain in detail, how this average is calculated?
I have seen that system is picking last FY's rates. Why is this happening?
urgently in need of help
Vijaya

Hi,
Please check the Check Box for Average Price
If it is checked then it means that activity prices for cost centers/activity types remain constant for the entire fiscal year
This takes place either on the version level or per cost center/activity type in planning.
1. Version
Activity prices for cost centers/activity types remain constant for the entire fiscal year in the version. The total plan costs and activity are taken into account when activity prices are calculated. Monthly fluctuations are ignored. Activate the "Average activity price" indicator from the fiscal-year dependent version parameters in the version as a planning method.
2. Cost center/activity type
If you have not defined an average activity price for your version, you can define a constant activity price for the fiscal year for individual cost centers/activity types. Activity price calculation smoothes out fluctuations in the cost center/activity type activity price. Activate the appropriate indicator in activity type planning.
A default value for planning can be saved in the activity type master record. This value can be overwritten during planning.
If you have checked box for Average Price then you should remove it according to above explanation.
I hope you found it useful.

Jigar

ACTUAL ACTIVITY RATE CALCULATION

Hi Gurus,
Is it possible to calaculate actual activity rate based on plan hours......
I know that we can splitt the actual cost based on plan hours by selecting splitting rule 22...
Now im doing actul activity rate calculation through ksii...
Then system considering actul hours confirmed in production for actual activity calculation.....
Pls suggest me.
RAM

Thank you for prompt reply.
Suppose this month we have produced only . 10 finished products.... But actual capacity is 20..... What ever cost moniterd by the production cost centers will be loaded on total 10 products only at the time of revaluation of production orders if we calaculate actul activity rate based on actual hours....... so the cost of the product is getting increased... so that he want to calculate actual rate aslo with planned hours..... Is there any other solution for this..
Pls suggest me ...... its very urgent.
Ram

KP26 need to allow the Activity rates by Date instead of period

Dear Friends
Currently KP26 only allows you to enter activity rates by period.
To simulate the product cost during off season we need the to load rates
Do you have any ideas to overcome this?
Thanks
SB

HI,
activity rates are planned/stored per period+year not for a single date.
Create a planning layout (T-code KP75) by copying an existing suitable layout and remove the period from the general data section. Create a new lead column using "period".
Add this layout to the planner profile used and plan the act. rates per period.
Best regards, Christian
