Activity type calculation

Hi all
Can any body told me how to calculate the Actual activity price calculation.
Please let me know the details configuration as well as how its work
Regards
Ansuman

Hi
Firstly the cost centre is planned with activity price in KP26. There you can provide for the total activity value (say 600 hours) and then give the fixed and variable price.
You can set the actual activity price manually in KBK6. The actual activity entered would be multiplied by the fixed/variable rates and the actual rates would be calculated.
Hope this helps,
Regards

How rate is calculated for activity types

Hi Gurus,
There is activity type XYZ created and when in do KB21N and enter the cost center and activity type the rate is calculated.
I do not know where is the rate maintained. It is coming 27.96 hence how the system is taking 27.96 rate for 1 Qty.
Regards.

Planned Activity rates are calcualted in KPSI and updated in KP26. Actual rates are calculated in KSII and can be viewed in KBK7.
Please check the rate in KP26 for the period/cost center/activity combination

Activity type and skf calculation

Dear Forum,
I would like to seek advice of the difference of both calculation.
1 skf - 1 big amount allocated to all cost center. if the skf measurement is number of employee, then the cycle will apportion the amount according to the number of employee. correct?
2 activity type - if the measurement is hour, then base on amount per hour defined in kp26 to get the total amount. correct?
3 kp26 only can be used by activity type. not applicable to skf. correct?
please advise me.
Thanks

hi,
1 . As long as you have the Variable portion type as SKF defined in your Allocation cycle you can distribute the cost according to the SKF defined for each cost center. hence you are correct.
2. yes based on the per unit price of the activity type defined in the KP26 the total amount of the activity is calculated.
(FOR ACTUAL the tcode is KBK6)
3. absolutely its only for activity types.
Hope this helps.

Actual price calculation for multiple activity types

Gurus,
I am working on a scenario where we have 2 main cost centers (A & B) from which services are used in different cost centers one of which is C. C is assigned to a work center. Now for the cost center C,two activity types are defined ATA and ATB which are actually the services from cost center A and B respectively.
Now for standard cost estimate I can define planned rates for those two activities based on the cost center C. Now at the month end I want to draw the costs from A and B based on the % of the services drawn by C and then calculate the actual price for those activities, i.e. run revaluation cycle. My question is, when I would run the revaluation cycle, how am I going to differentiate the cost of each activity types based on the cost input from respective cost centers (A and B) ?
I short, with more than one activity type and more than one input cost center, is it possible to valuate the activities on actual prices?
Thanks in advance!
Snigdho

Hi Snigdho
Yes, you can!!
If I have understood your question well - What you want is that the Cost allocated to From A to C should be divided by Act type ATA and cost allocated from B to C, should be divided by ATB, at the period end... Is that what you want?
You can achieve this in SAP...
1. Create 2 separate secondary cost elements for each Act Type ATA and ATB
2. Create a Spliting structure in OKES... You would assign Secondary cost ele 1 to ATA and Sec Cost ele 2 to ATB
Assign cost center C to this splitting structure in OKEW
3. now, when you calculate Act price, you will get what you want

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.

Confirmation of activity type in Process order -Impact in FI.

Dear All,
On doing a confirmation of a activity type for a process/ Production order - values get posted to secondary cost element which has been assigned to a acitivity type. This means only a impact in controlling but not in FI
How woould the booking happens in FI ?is it not required to book in FI, if yes, why.
Please suggest.
Thanks.

Hi Daya
1. You can calculate activity price for plan in KSPI and for actual KSII for respective CCtr and activity type...but some times people manually update price at KP26 directly which in my opinion is not right way because price is either more or less than the real calculation in KSPI and KSII...
2. However in your case price is directly updated in KP26 against activity type..when confirmation is done in order this rate * activity qty is your value posted in order level and at the same time respective CCtr is also credited by this amount which you can see in CCtr report
   Example: CCtr XXXX01
                   Activity type 999999
                   Sec cost Element for activity type 999999 (43 cat)
    Suppose you have booked FI entries for some expenses like Salary in F-02/FB50...against CCtr XXXX01   So your CCtr XXXX01 is debited by Salary amount and this amount will be absorbed in product through activity for which you need activity price and confirmation.
    FI entry is booked your expense in GL a/c Salary and same time debited your CCtr through CE salary....Now when you charging this expense in product through prod order you are doing it through confirmation of activity qty which in turn calculating value by taking price from KP26 and qty from confirmation.

PM Order Confirmation using Personnel's Cost Center and Activity Type

Hi All,
Is it possible to have PM Order confirmation (IW41) using Cost Center and Activity type from Personnel instead of default from Work Center? If it is, can it be done with some configuration or user exit? Please advise. Thank you.
Dai

Hi friend,
Order confirmation will be done for order operations.While doing confirmation we post the actual work done by the repective work center and respective activity type assigned to the same workcenter.
But these activity types are assigned to cost center for cost calculation.confirming the respective operation in maintenance order through workcenters gives the report of planned work and actual work done by the respective workcenter.
We cannot confirm the operation using costcenter and activity type directly through transaction IW41.
If you want to develop new confirmation screen and making confirmation of the respective order operation with only costcenter and activity type fields, you can do it .

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 type i process order

Where the activity type data in process order flow from and how?

Hi
In general activity type date will flow during plan / actual cost calculation. The order / confimed qty will be taken and the the required hrs for that quantity will be calculated from the routing data. Then finally total hrs required will be calculated by the system. After calculating the total hrs. The amount spent for Hrs will be considered from the Activity type . Finally total cost will be calcuated for that total activity
The activity data will flow at that point only.

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)

Activity type in routing that was pick to compute the PO date

Hello,
Where in SAP could i find where does a production order pick what activity type it will pick to compute the production order finish date?
Thanks
Ryan

Hai mangalraj,
Thanks for your reply. In case of the formulas which we use in work centre. The values for calculating the formulas in case of Capacity and scheduling will they come from Operations assigned to the workcentre timings. In case of costing will they come from the activity type specified for them?
Is this right?
Can you please correct me if i m wrong?
Thanking you in advance.

Kris.S

Activity is calculated on Production Order Quantity based .

Hi Experts,
My requirement is Planned Activity cost should be calculated based on Production order Quantity. and not on timing mentioned in Routing.
For Example- My PO Quantity is 10 - and activity assigned rate is 1 then = 10 RS is my planned activity Price
IF PO quantity is 1 then planned Activity Price is 1 RS
pour some light on this
Regards,
Girish

Hi
Create an Activity Type and assign in work center / Routing... Keep the Activty Qty same as Base Qty in Routing....
if you create Prod Order for 10, system would automatically propose Qty as 10.... Assign a fully variable formula in the work center to this activity
Then maintain a price for this n KP26

Actual activity price calculation for production order

Hi
Can any one guide me in how many ways we can assign actual activity price calculation for production order?
I knew only one way by assigning PPP2 costing variant?
I have another doubt is: if we don't mention any material valuation indicator (moving average, standard) in valuation variant, how system will calculate material prices? is there any other way, to recognize the prices by system?
regards,
Ramesh B

Dear,
Costing variant PPP2 is linked to some valuation variant inn OPL1
System will check the valuation of material and activity according to this valuation variant
For material valuation there are many stg acceding to which system will take the price the raw material,
Valuation strategy for material component
Strategy sequence that determines the valuation of the materials used in the cost estimate.
Use
The materials are valuated using the price in the material master record or the values calculated in a material cost estimate.
Procedure
You can enter a single strategy, or you can enter multiple strategies in the form of a strategy sequence. If you enter multiple strategies, the priority of the strategy determines what price or what values are selected.
Examples
Assume that the following strategy sequence is entered for material valuation:
1. Planned price 1
2. Standard price
3. Moving average price
If the system finds a value in the Planned price 1 field (costing view), this value is taken as the value for valuating the material.
If the system does not find a value, the value in the Standard price field (accounting view) is used.
If the material does not have a standard price, the system uses the value from the Moving average price field.
if you have not mentioned, then system will give error that "valuation stg not found"
Valuation strategy for internal activities and processes-
Strategy sequence that determines how internal activities and processes are valuated in costing.
Use
The activities and business processes used are valuated with the prices from Cost Center Accounting or Activity-Based Costing to determine the production costs or process costs. The prices can either be calculated iteratively through price calculation, or entered manually by the user.
Procedure
You can enter either a single strategy or more than one strategy in the form of a strategy sequence. If you enter more than one strategy, the priority of the strategy determines which price is selected.
Examples
The following strategy sequence is entered:
1. Actual price of the previous period
2. Plan price of the previous period
3. The most current plan price
If the system finds a price for the activity type, this price is used for valuating the internal activities. If no price was calculated for the previous period, the plan price from the previous period is used to valuate the activity type.
If the system cannot find a plan price for the previous period, it looks for a future plan price, using the next price in the posting period to valuate the internal activities. For example, if plan prices have been entered for periods 2 and 3, and a plan price is calculated in period 1 for period 4, the system uses the price from period 3 in accordance with the valuation strategy Most up-to-date plan price.
Again if you have not mentioned, then system will give error that "valuation stg not found".
You can use any costing variant for actual (PPP2)and planned(PPP1) according to your requirement.. check in OPL1
