Activity Type cost allocation

Hello,
I have an activity type for labor which i have setup in the routing of a BOM and have maitained the cost in KP26. When I check the itemization costs in the production order, it displays the cost of the labor. I issue and recieve the order, then go to KO88 to settle the order, but the labor cost does not get added to the cost of the finished goods. Anyboy have an idea why the activity costs do not get added to the finished goods?
Thanks in advance.
Scott

Hello
Please check cost variant(planning and actually) if assignedto order type.
Thanks

Activity types cost Elements not reflecting in Cost Centre Report.

Hello SAP Gurus,,
1. Here we are facing one issue in Zreport. total is not matching, compare with KSB1.
Values are more in Zreport, in other words activity type cost elements are not reflecting in Zreport, but it reflecting in KSB1.
example: flow from PM module.
Actually we had used logic based on the Cost Centres, in that cost centre by taking Object number and it passes to COEP table, then we are getting values as same as KSB1.
As per investigation i found that the object number is differ from COEP table and CSKS table.
Exapmple : 1410000 object number in CSKS table, 1410000EL in COEP table, thats why in Zreport these values are not reflecting.Finally our requirment is , Zreport values should same as KSB1 vlaues.
2. We need same functionality as same as KSB1 for match code or drop down menu functionality for Cost Centre Group and Cost Element Group, but while user wants select from match code or drop menu (F4), as of now i didnt given any logic to abap for match code functionality or drop down menu (F4),so in this case which logic or table i have to use.
So please give me inputs or logic how to over come the above points.
Regards,
Raj.

The OBJNR field structure is as follows :-
AABBBBCCCCCCCCCCDDDDDD
AA = object type eg. KS (cost center)
BBBB = controlling area
CCCCCCCCCC = cost center
DDDDDD = activity type
Based on the structure, you will be able to filter the relevant cost center/activity types. You can also use other fields eg. cost element, partner object, source object, value type, etc. to get your desired figures as per KSB1.

Activity Types and Allocation Cost Element

Hi
What are the impact of having same Allocation Cost Element for different Activity Types. Is there any where we use this condition. SAP allows to have same allocation Cost Elements to different Activity Types, but i did not understand where we can utilizes this feature.
Thanks
Sivaram

Hi Sivaram,
in WIP customizing OKG5 you can assign specific cost center/activitity type combinations to different line-IDs, even though the same cost element is used. By this you can e.g. differentiate the value flow of one cost element in 2: one for capitalization, the other for non-capitalization.
Personally I would not recommend to use this and stick to the rule "one activity type - one cost element" - makes it easier for IT and controlling departments.

Activity Type: cost element does not exist

Dear All,
I am working on ERP configuration for PP module as an academic exercise. I am already through with FI, CO and MM modules.
I am not able to get through the Activity assignment step in PP module. (Accounting u21D2 Controlling u21D2 Cost Center Accounting u21D2 Master Data u21D2 Activity Type u21D2 Individual Processing u21D2 Create). While creating activity type labor (labor hours), I am getting error "cost element does not exist for aggregated period"
In CO module I have created primary cost element for "Labor"(Category: primary cost/ cost reducing revenues). Also created secondary cost element for labor (cost element category: Internal activity allocation).
Can anybody guide me on how to go further?
regards,
Supriya

Dear
Please revivew the following steps when you are creating a New Acvity type :
OP51 - Check Settings for formulas
OP54 - Check formulas for Costing
Ensure that usage of the parameters are indicated. Some parameters are appropriate for capacity calculation but not for schedule calculation. If you like to find out the parameter id, you could use the Search Fld. for Param. pull down button to do so.
KLH2 - Maintain hierarchy of Activity type group.
OP19 - Define standard value key
The purpose of standard value keys is to group together a set of parameters for the purpose of ensuring that the standard values for the parameters are supplied in the operations of the routing. This is so that the formula (for calculating cost, schedule, and capacity) could have the necessary figures to work with. Once the parameters are associated with the standard value keys, work centers quoting this standard values will be able to dictate whether or not the parameter values are optional or mandatory entry in the operations of the routing. The pre-requisite for using this transaction is that the parameters must have been pre-created.
KA01 - Create Primary Cost Element for the new activities type. Maintain Correct From and To date inline with Activity Type KL01 - Create Activity Type tied to the primary cost element. (the Cost element field)
KP26 - Change Activity Type/Activity Price Planning - maintain the Variable price
If the user include the additional activities in their work center, the routing that used the work center will required more time to finished the jobs.
The operations Start and Finish date will be extended due to the extra time spent on the work center. The cost of production increases in line with the extra activity which will be reflected in the Factory Output when you do a cost analysis in the production order. The new activity will have a price attached to it and the moving average price will increase.

Is there a way to bypass activity type/ cost element for CJ20n Activity?

Hi Experts,
Is there a way to bypass the activity type set in the Internal tab of a particular activity in CJ20n?
Here's a background of the scenario:.
- In CJ20n, under WBS element 100->Network 10->Activity 1, under the internal tab, the activity type set up is ACT1
- Under person assignment, I have 2 resources assigned Person 1 and Person 2, with the following values:
Person 1 Work: 1.0h Dur. 10D
Person 2 Work: 2.0h Dur. 15D
- In infotype 135, person 1 has a cost element set as ACT2 and person 2 has a cost element ACT3.
- The problem is that when you bring up the Plan/ Actual comparision report (ctrl+F11 in CJ20n), the costs are consolidated for ACT1 and negates the cost elements for Person 1 and Person 2
Is there a way to bypass this and use the individual cost elements set up for person 1 and person 2?

I dont think this is possible for the scenario that you explained. I mean, you have a single activity which has 2 resources assigned and each of these resources has a different activity type. Standard SAP allows only 1 activity type for an activity.
Just a query, why dont you create 2 different activities for these resources since the activity types are diff for both?

Activity types&Cost Component Structure?

Hello All,
I would like to ask following**
*Can production cost centers have three activity types Produced Quantity, Machine Hour, Labor hour? Will the confirmation of these tree act types on work center form Production Cost of Material. Question is regarding line whish will have name Production Cost in Cost Component structure /OKTZ/*
Can only Primary Cost Component Split for Preliminary Costing be set and will it be visualized as itemization during precosting in CK11N? Which assignments regarding this have to be done?**
Best Regards,
Poly P**

Hi
I guess you need to educate your users a bit as to how the costing works as well as what is possible in SAP
Having these many itemizations is neither possble, nor recommended
The expenses like Discounts, Maintenance, Supporting costs etc are intended for analysis at Trial balance level.... These things are overheads from costing point of view.... So, you need to logically group them
Material consumption cost is very much possible provided the material components are part of the BOM
Direct Costs like Labor, electricity - you need to be create activity type for them.. ANd maintain a plan rate in KP26 for the same... You can not show original cost element in itemization for them
Other costs mentioned by you are indirect costs - Which are absorbed as overheads... Either as a % of other costs (Material + labor + electrivity) or as a rate per hr of Labor, etc

2.Create an activity type using T code - KL01.
3.Assign the Rates for an activity type & cost center combination using T code KP26.
4.In the input screen of T code KP26 ,enter version as 0, from period 1 and to period as 12 and the Fiscal
Year as 2008,enter the cost center, activity type click on overview screen (F5)---> enter the per hour Rate
under Fixed price and set value as 2 for distribution key and plan price indicator as 3.
5.After performing this ,while creating the work center ,this combination of activity type & cost center
should be assigned.Then while creating routing/task list this work center can assigned for performing
operations.
Check with this & revert back if you need any further help.

Master record for cost center/activity type

Hi all;
How create a master record between an cost center and activity type?
Thank you

Hi
You can create master data between cost center / activity type.
You can link the two by planning for activity qty the combination of a cost center / activity type in KP26. Then you do a detailed planning for costs for the cost center / activity type / cost element in KP06.
I hope it is clear..

Resource - cost center - activity type

Hello,
I can see the link Resource - Cost center (in the resource master data)
I can see the link Activity type - cost element
I can see where the activity type's planned cost is done, for such or such cost center
I cannot see the relationship Resource - Activity type
isn't there any direct link or is it only an indirect link, through the cost center
Thanks for your help
KR - Loï

I need to post 2 diferent type of costs to 2 different accounts (cost elements) my question is what impact is if I mantain in one resource with cost center 1000 2 activity types, one is also linked to CC 1000 but the 2nd is linked to CC 2000
In the costing tab at the Resource there is a field for the cost center so my question is what are de implication with this cost center and the link between the activity types and the cost centers
you can maintain 2 cost element for two activity.
But you can't combine two cc in one resource
then you need to create two resource, one with cc 1000 and other with cc 2000,
the second question is, I have to maintain these 2 different cost at the time of confirmation, Is it correct that I mantain the cost of an HOUR in KP26 so when the confirmation happens I just have to say in COR6N that 15 hours were used so based on rate given in KP26 system will calculate and allocate that cost properly, Is this how it works?
as per the formula in OP54, assigned in resource with respect to activity.
at the time of actual booking, system will calculate the actual cost of the activity ( as per the formula maintained in resource)
Also I want to ask if like the activity described before I can have 2 of these attached to the same work center and same phase? I know I can have up to six per Resource but how is the confirmation done, in one step at COR6N you give the 6 parameters to each of the activities or you have to go one by one and saving in this transaction??
In resource for each activity ( parameter) you need to assign formula and activity type, while creating process, system will copy all the parameter and formula in process order, while booking in cor6n system will copy all the parameter.

How we calculate product cost without taken activity type

Respected sir,
pls tell me without taking activity type costing can we calculate product cost? is it possible through Overhead costing to calculate product cost?
or if we taken quantity base costing how we calculate each product cost?
please help me.......
Than'x
Dhananjay

Hi
Without Activity type you cannot calculate Operation cost. It is not good practice. Why you want to do like this. Please explain.
I think Over head cost can be calculated without operation cost.

Update cost - activity type

Hi forum
I did confirmations in maintenance orders, but it was not the activity type to date. I have maintained the activity type in kp26 but the costs of the previous confirmations in the orders are not updated.
Could you help me to make it possible.
Best regards.

Hi,
If u have maintained cost for Activity type - Cost Center in KP26 then for earlier confirmation - try to cancel that confirmation using IW45 & again do confirmation via IW41 .. /i believe in this way it should udpate the costs ..

Cost allocation difference

Hi,
Wish to have advice from the forum.
May I know what is the difference for the below?
KB21N vs KB15N.
KB21N from 1 cost object to another using activity type whereas KB15N settle from 1 cost object to another using cost element? I still not quite clear of this. need explanation.
Thanks
Rgds

hi
KB21N = it allows you to perform allocation of ACTIVITY type cost among different cost centers
KB15N = it allows you to allocate cost of cost elements among different cost centers
hope dis helps
