Hi,
What do you mean by 'automatic' update of actual costs? Whenever you will post a transaction on the activity type you have defined, you will create actual costs based on the tariffs you have provided.

Physical significance of activity type on cost center

Hi,
I want to know what is the phsical significance of definiing activity type on cost center.In my situation the activity type is defined on the cost center assigned to the maint. work center.Due to this actual cost is geetting reflected on my order due to the activity rate but physically no such cost is being incurred by the maintenance people.As when any material is consumed on a PM order then the MAP of material is shown as actual cost in PM order.This is ok.Then how this activity type defining is valid on the cost center when no such work is being carried out.Pls. reply.

As mentioned in earlier posts, we will assign Cost center & Activity types in Labor work center. In KP26, for this Cost center, Activity type & period (say Jan to Dec 2011), cost (Fixed & Variable) will be maintained.
Reason to maintain the KP26:
In Business, sometimes contract labors will be paid on hourly basis. If those people do the Maintenance job, as we are paying them, we need to calculate the labor cost.
For Permanent employee, company used to pay salary (fixed & variable component on monthly basis). That will be converted into hourly basis & the same will be maintained.
So that, for expense company doing (paying salary), there should be some offset (getting the work). If you have integration with HR & PM, you can capture the actual hours entered in IW41 in HR time sheet.
Even though there is no such cost explicitly, these cost should be calculated to arrive at the actual work done on equipment.

Usage of Activity types under Cost Centre.

Hi
I would like to know the usage of activity types under cost centre.
How to do direct and indirect activity type allocation. Please explain indetail from scratch to finish with necessary t.codes at the earliest.
Appreciate your cooperation at the earliest.
regards.

Hi,
as far as usage of activity types under cost center is concerned it is addressed by ist reply to your query by another SAP Guru.
with respect to Direct activity allocation,
When we know the source cost center and target cost center then we allocate the activities from source cost center to Target cost center (T.Code KB21N)
The cost is picked from the planned price given at KP26.
Withe respect to Indirect activity allocation:
We do not know the Traget Cost center in this case.
First we need to enter the activity consumption in the sender cost center (source cost center).
Then we need to allocate then indirectly to the target cost centers on some allocation basis using distribution cycles
I am sure this will clear your query.
Please assign points suitably

Actual Cost not updating to Network Activity from CATS

Dear All,
Am back here for the expert suggestions / guidance.
I am facing issue with respect to system not updating the actual cost in network activity / projects posted through time sheet i.e. CATS. I have planned my resource cost through work centre assigned with activity type, formula and cost centre. I have kept the employee master data in place with maintaining the 315 infotype. In CAT2 i am posting the respective time sheet on the particular network activity and am transferring the cost into projects by CAT5, the plan cost is getting updated but actuals are not hitting the projects.
Kindly do the needful and suggest me if am missing something out of the track
Thanks
Praveen Mohanachary

HI Gokul,
There wasn't any error during confirmation and i have also checked in CN30 as well as COFC transaction. It is posting the time and the activity is getting the PCNF status set but there isn't any actuals posted. I used CATA for some activity and also used CAT5 for certain activity both are not posting actuals on projects.
Thanks

Activity Types and Cost Centres

Our PP is not yet live now.
While going through the system settings, it is found that many activities (approx. 15 for indirect expenses also) are planned in the Production Cost Centres.
However, these activities are not included in the master data of the Work Centre. Only one activity type is mentioned there for machining.
Then, what is the purpose of other activity types planned if they are not mentioned in the Work Centre ?
Is there any other way these activity costs will appear in the Cost report ?

Hi,
You are almost on the right line, activity quantities will be triggered in the cost center report based on the routing master and through the confirmation from the production orders.
For the creation of the work center - Activity Planning KP26 is required. Cost center/Activity
where we can plan the activity quantities.
Prior to that KP06 is required to plan the primary cost combination of (Cost Element/Cost center/Activity Type) where we can plan the cost.
Based on the above information we can calculate the plan price - KSPI
Based on the confirmation from the production orders activity quantities will be updated in the center report. cost will be updated with actual postings in the cost center.
So that you can calculate the actual activity price.
Please look into the blog for better understanding:

Actual Costing - CKME update in group and local currency - split

Hi Experts,
We are using Actual Costing and running CKMLCP and CKME to update our standard price, in local currency and in group currency.
The result it is one PR accounting document, with group currency and local currency booked in it.
Now, we have this requeriment where they want to have 1 PR document with local currency booked and $0 group currency and another PR document with local currency as $0 and Group Currency booked.
It is like doing MR21 and not doing automatic translation into foreign currency, that is what we want.
So, the question is, Is there a way of archiving this in a simple way?
Thanks for your comments!
Enrique

Hi Enrique,
The final step in CKMLCP enters future prices for all materials based on the actual prices of the period.
You could Use CKMPRPN the 'maintenance of future prices' with it's rule based approach to change the data before activating with CKME.
You could
1. delete the group currency future prices (CKMPRPN)
2. release the new standard prices in company code currency (CKME)
3. create future prices in group currency by adopting the (previous month's) V-price as future price (CKMPRPN)
4. release the new standard prices in group code currency (CKME)
I am not sure if you could also distinguish the validity dates between both currencies with CKMPRPN. If yes, that might be better than deleting and rebuilding the price.You could change the date for one currency into the future, use CKME, change the date back and use CKME again.
A disadvantage of the procedure would be that you will not release the cost component split from CKMLCP. In step 4 only the new price will be released and the split will be created from the former split. In step 2 the original split from CKMLCP will be activated.

Activity Type and Cost Relationship Configuration

Hi SAP Gurus,
In ERP, the recipe of Material GN2425A1H, the activity is ZDL - Labour. When the activity time is increased, the material cost does not change, e.g., if labour hour is changed from 1.52HR to 3.4HR, the cost remains unchanged. In case of other materials, if the time of activity ZDL is changed, then the material cost changes accordingly.
Please help me understand the configuration that needs to be checked for activity labour hours with cost associated.
Thanks.

Dear Samir,
I am not sure if such a relation ship exists between Material and Labor.
Normally, the costs are charged independently based on the valuation variant used for the Actual costs in the Process Order (defaulted from order type) ex:Material costs are picked as per the valuation indicator (V/S) from the Material Master when the goods issue is posted to the Process Order.
Labor costs are picked when confirmations are done from the Transaction KP26 (planned prices for activitites) as per the valuation variant.

Activity Type with cost elements

Hi,
I'm trying to find out whether it is possible to connect activity types with a group or range of cost elements, which should be allocated using activity allocation.
I don't want to allocate all costs gathered on Cost Center, but only a range of cost elements. Can I achieve that using direct activity allocation and if it's possible, how can I do it?
Best wishes,
Karol

Hi Karol,
It is possible to link the cost elements to the activity using the splitting structure in the SPRO of cost center accounting.
First the costs are debited to other cost centers using the plan activity type. At the end of the period when you calculate the actual price of the activity then based on the cost element range assigned to the activity in the splitting structure the actual cost of the cost elements are debited through the activity.
I hope it is clear now.

Suraj

Condition type - actual cost component strecture

Hi,
When actual costing activated, how to map a value (amount) in a condition type to a new Cost Component Group.
Ashok

Hi
You choose Strategy Sequence L in your Valuation Variant
System would open new fields to choose Sub-Strategy and you will also see a button "Delivery Costs".. Click here and assign Cond Type to Origin Group....
Assign the Cost Ele / Origin Group to a different Cost Comp Str in OKTZ

Revaluation of Activity type is not getting updated in Production Order

Hi,
I have run KSII , for actual activity price calculation. After this , the revalution of production orders was done.
But I am not finding any entry in Production order with a value of variance between Actual Price and Plan Price of the Activity type.
It sould come in the production order.
What can be the reason?
In OKEQ, for the Version '0' and the fiscal year, Revaluation has the entry ' 1.Own Business Transaction'. I hope this is correct.
But still the revalaution line item is not showing in Production Order.
Please help.
regards
Kamlesh

Hi Paolo,
Yes, MFN1 ran perfectly and I am also able to see the details in the screen.
My concern is, this revaluation should also have affect on Production order, thats what not happening.
Or let me know where can I see the affect of revaluation on Production orders.

Kami

Issue is after having this setting actual cost is not updating in Pm order and pm report.
Same is getting updated in mseg against pm order.
With regards
Anand.M

Hi Anand
Please add the budget profile at Plant maintenance order level no need to add any substitution rule
budget should also be control at order level

Use of activity types and cost splitting

Hi All,
We would like to track activities for cost centers, but don't necessarily have the need for a sending cost center/object. I understand in a traditional manufacturing set-up, you have sending and receiving cost objects that incorporate the use of activities. Our business is a service that we provide, not a tangible product that we produce.
Here is the scenario. We have activities that a cost center performs. Cost center 1 will perform 2 types of "pick-up" activities, so this would require two activity types. Throughout the course of the month, the activity quantities would get posted to the cost center. So my first question is how can you post only quantities to a cost center--what is the t-code? We're not concerned with incorporating an activity price, we just want quantities.
Second, as primary costs get posted to the cost center in FI, we want to split the costs onto the activities. I have researched t-code KSS2 and can't seem to split the primary costs based on the activity quantities. It keeps refering to target costs, which I don't really want to have to worry about.
What we're trying to do is a makeshift ABC scenario. Since the use of true abc seems almost non-existent, there's not much info out there on it. Does anybody have any good docs on abc in SAP?
Thanks
Kory Squire

Hi,
1. I understood your case in this way .
Cost Center A performs 2 activities . The cost center collects cost by Fi posting through out the month.
Now you want the activity type should nt have price , only it should have quantities.
And now you want to allocate the cost of the cost center to other object by activity types.
If i am right..
then instead of activity types why not create SKF(statistical key figures) . At the month end by t.code Kb31n post the activity qts. for combination of cost center and SKFs.
Then as per your requirement run allocation cycle.
The kind of you are planning , in that case activity types to be converted as cost object ( it can be done in control area setting) and then you want to allocate.. seems to be little complicated..
Hope i understood and in turn i conveyed the message properly..
Assign points if found helpful
