hi
you can make the default cost element by creating the external profile in IMG and assigning to the order type ,also in easy access screen during order creation you can mention as default values in the menu Extras>settings>default values
As per what cost element has to be specified kindly consult with the CO team,regarding the mandatory field may be you have specified the fields as mandatory in IMG settings,kindly check

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

Assignment of Activity Types to Cost Centre

hi,
i am creating a work centre and for costing purposes i need to give the activity type and the cost centre.
even though i have defined an activity type and in it used an allocation cost element which in term is assigned to a cost centre,in the work centre when i search for the activity type the system shows an error.....No activity types assigned to cost center X, controlling area Y on 07.02.2007 where X and Y are variables ofcourse.
what could be the possible reason?
thanks and regards
shekhar

Hi shekhar,
Check using KL02 or KL03 again, especially the validity dates of the activity type and may be the coster center KS02, KS03 as well. I hope, that controlling area is fine.
There must be some settings wrong, ...
Please reward, wenn it is useful.

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:

Please note this can be done.
Go to Edit Cost Center
Goto Edit, Analysis Period.
Create a new validity period say today until 3112999
Change the data you want and save.
When you go into the CC again it will show two validity periods.

Activity Type in Capacity reqirement

Does activity type in work cetner as any influenc on capacity requirement?

Dear ,
Capacity Requirement is based on the available capaciy and overload in work centre and subsequently re-scheuling operation in CM21 and CM01.
However , Activity type are assinged to work centre and cost centre assinged to work centre .Here the Standar value key plays important role to caalcule the labour hors , machine and set up hrs based on Formula Key in work centre .Now the available capacity and capacity requirement (Hrs) will be calaculated based on the Capacity requirement in CM21 and cost of man hours , machin hrs will be calcualted throygh cost centre and activity type assinged under that work centre .
So indirectly , activity type has infuelnce in costing of capacity requirement
Hope it will clear ur idea

Problem while creating work centre

Dear friends when i am creating work centre i am facing problem in entering activity types. The error message occurs as activity type was planned in fiscal year 2008 as non allocatable. Can any body help me please

Dear Vijay,
While assigning the activity type,just confirm whether the activity type which you are trying to use in the work centre has got a rate for
that cost center (assigned in the work center).
In T code KP26,a rate will be assigned for the cost center+activity type combination.
1.Check the valid from date of the cost centre and work center.
2.Cost center's will be created in T code KS01.
3.Activity types will be created in T code KL01.
4.Assign rate for activity types to cost centre in KP26 for the financial period 2008.

Hi nivruti,
check ur work center whether u have put formula sap008 in other formula in capacity tab page. in schedulling tab page formula sap004 . check whether in costing tab page ur entries are correct regarding activity type and cost center.
In activity type put * in cctr catagory , activity type catagory 1, give secondary cost element (this can b a reason of ur problem) in allocation cost element.
Apart from this also check costing variant whether actual and planned has been maintained properly or not.

Costing for activity types in CS

Dear All
Hope you all are doing well.I want to perform costing on service order based on activity type for Customer Services. These activities should be assigned to service material. How can activities assign to service materail? Currently I have configured valuation catagories , assign cost elements to value catagories, define activity types,Price planning for activity type and assign these activity types to work center.
Your immedite response is higly appreciable
Thank you,
Nomi

Dear All
Really sorry for late reply! DIP Profile helps a lot in Configuring Quotation and Billing document. What I did was
1. I create activities with the help of CO consultant and give price to the activities type.
2. Setting performed for DISPLAY OF COST in Maintenance and Service       ProcessingBasic settings for these activities.
3. Assign Cost element for these activities.
4. Assign these activities type to the work center.
5. Define Services Materials for each activity type so that they can be displayed in my quotation and billing document.
6. Assign services materials to DIP Profile as such:
u2022     Define planned cost u2013 Total Record as source.
u2022     In Material Determination for profile I assign each of my service material to Transfer cost and Quantity and assign respective cost and revenue element of that activity type to the Service material.
When I create a service order with revenue u201CSM02u201D.I do not specify service material. I assign my activities types in operations and when I calculate costing it sums up all the revenue in costing for planned costs but when I create quotation and billing document for the service order it shows individual material for each activity type and its amount on item data and total is displayed in header data against EK01 condition type moreover planned and actual cost are displayed in service order.
The problem is, I have not create any condition record nor assign these condition type to my pricing procedure as value is arising from activity type.
Which condition types can be assigned to pricing procedure so that they can pick up the value of the activity type?
Thank you
Nomi

ACTIVITY TYPE IN CO

What is Activity type in CO

prasad

Hi
Activity types describe the activity produced by a cost center and are measured in units of time or quantity.
In activity type planning, control data determines whether the activity price for evaluation of the activity type is manually set or is derived iteratively through activity price calculation
Activity type creation at TCode KL01 - Create
Cost Centre creation at TCode KS01 - Create
Activity type and cost centres are assinged to Workcentre at TCode CR01

Routing Activity Type BUG!

Dear All,
I've created a work center and didn't put in the Activity Types in the costing tab. Then I created a routing and used this work center in (Activity Types field was empty). Afterwards, I linked the activity types in the work centers once I had them created from the Finance and went to CR02 to update the missing activity types in the operation.
When I run costing or when I create a production order, it !!!!doesn't!!!! see the activity costs. The only way that it sees it is when I go to the routing, delete the entire line! and create it again (it will automatically read the activity type from the work center now).
How can I fix this bug? is there anything I can do about this?

Dear All,
You have misunderstood me. I know that the routing won't read the new Activity Type in the Work Center after I update the Work Center. This is not my problem!
My problem is that when I created the routing the Work Center had no Activity Types therefore the routing operation had no activity types, later on I've added the activity types from the routing operation details. The system doesn't feel the change I've made in the routing! UNLESS I delete the entire operation and create it again (it will read direct from the WC).
HOWEVER!!!! if I had initially created the routing operation and it reads from the WC and then I change the routing operation's Activity Type, it works and the system reads the change!
Why is it when the operation is initially created with no AT, they system will no feel any changes.
This IS a bug, I traced it inside the tables.

Goods issue against work centre

is it possible to issue any material type against work centre.
if possible, please explain how. and which movement type will be use ?

It is not possible to issue a material with respect to a work center. Input materials are allocated to an operation in an order. The operation has the work center in it.
You issue materials to a reservation which is linked to an operation in the order.

Activity types- PC

Hi,
When an activity types is created what are the enties created in CO & in FI?
During the routing in the product costing will there be any entry created in CO?
Thanks,
Nivi

Hi,
Good evening and greetings,
Normally an activity type is attached to a secondary cost element and doesnt create any accounting entry at the time of creating activity type...the combination of activity type with cost centre is maintained in KP26 transaction code...Again at the time of creating a routing there will be no accounting entry...
Please go through the following link
