Activity type int processing activity

Dear All
I have creat activity type & assign this activity type to work center in "ActTypeProc." IN KP26 , i maintain activity price & all other things but when i maintain this activity type & work center in WBS for respective internal activity system not shown me plan cost as well as when i confirm the activity system not shown me actual cost also. Pl gave some input on this
Regards

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.

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.

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.

Valuation price with user Exit on activity types

Hi All,
Our customer could have different activity cost for different products even if they are processed on the same cost center, same activity type and same activity time. So I wonder whether SAP has valuation price with user Exit on activity types as what on material valuation, when we select "U" in the relevant valuation variant. Could anyone knows advise please?
Regards
Walter

Hi Walter,
an idea might be to include an ABC template into the costing. ABC tempaltes allow a big degree of freedom in determinin which processes to use and in which quantities. To use the product as a cost driver is certainly not an issue. I doubt that you can directly influence the process 'price' to be applied, but to change the quantity could bring the same result.
See the docu for more info:

1th Activity type confirmed copy value into 2th Activity type:

Hi Gurus.,
I had a problem in production order confirmed (PP-PI), COR6 transaction
I need what 1th Activity type confirmed (value) are copied in 2th Activitiy type cofirmed inside the one order production, so, both value corfimed are equal and the same time, I had customization all the parameters in resources who standard value key, Formule for processing capacity requirements in concordance with standard value key and the calculation of costs of a work center's activity type.
But in the cofirmation Activity (COR6) the user´s key put Quantity in first Activity manually and execute (enter), and this first quantity activity don´t population the second field activity type.
Insite the Resource the costs formule is:
Activity type one: ZPP001
Activity type two: ZPP001
Capacity calculation formule: ZPP001.
What happen about this fault?
Best Regards.,
Julio César Villegas

Hi,
You do not get Second Activity same as first Activity in this scenario.
When we give value in First Activity manually for say about 10 Hrs, it doesn't copy to Second Activity.
As you said Activity 1 and Activity 2 are have same activity types and formulaes then also it will take Actual Values from Master Recipe and will be displayed.
If you want to achieve your requirement you should get ABAP help to write Program. you can use Enhancement.

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.

Argon GAS in activity type.

Is it possible to map the cost of activity type "welding process" where I am using argon gas as raw material. I want to map gas consumption for every miute in activity type. I have a work center where only welding is done. I have defined a standard key with processing time only. Now in this processing time I want to define the activity type with gas consumption as mentioned above.
Here I want that by entering the processing time in routing, all the cost encurred (material including GAS) mujst be updated and also GI should be done automatically.
Please help me whether this can be done or not??
If yes then hoe to proceed for it?

Hi Animesh,
You can define Gas consumed as parameter then assign that Standard value key......... now assign that standard value key to the workcenter ......... in this way you can capture the amount of gas consumed ....
Also mainatain the price for the gas consumed per unit qty in KP26..........
But I am not sure that GI will be done for the gas consumed as you have mentioned in the requirement automatically ........
Thanks

Error saying "Enter the sender activity type also"

While trying to upload the HR details from NON SAP to SAP through SE38, an error reflects asking to enter the sender activity type.
Can any body help me.

Hi,
Please refer to the online documentation help whose link is listed below :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/c3/c6c2a40f4f11d2956400a0c930669b/content.htm
This link mentions four different data entry scenarios that can be configured for data entry profile in CATS.
if you want to have the activity transfered to HR, you have to activate this Controlling object for pers. cost assignment in your
customizing:
- Personnel Time Management
- Time Data Recording and Administration
    - Integrating Time Management with Other R/3 Applications
      - Recording Personnel Costs
        - Enter Controlling objs permitted for pers. cost assignment
here you can find in the documentation:
'In this step, you specify which Cost Allocation or Funds Management objects the personnel costs can be assigned to.
and, in addition, for account assignment to activity type:
COBL-LSTAR Activity type
   In cac1 'cost accounting variant' is set to 'Assignment of personnel costs to master cost center'. In this case, the cost center is not transferred to HR. Activity allocation is done directly from cats through the other (non-hr) components. Check for 'activity allocation' in the online documentation.
the cost assignment variant 'B' (Assignment of personal costs to sender) needs a receiving accounting object.
If there is no receiving object the cost assignment variant changes to '0'.

Activity type in workcenter

Hi PP experts,
I have created the activity type and assigned it to work center. While saving it is showing the following error
Error: "You are attempting to assign the activity type to the workcenter, However this activity type is not been set up in controlling area for the cost center"
Please help me on this regard
Samarth

Dear Mr.Samarth,
Try with this T codes.
KS01,KS02 - Create & Change Cost centre Respectively.
KL01,KL02 - Create & Change Activity Type.
KP26 - Activity Output/Prices.
In CR01 while creating a work centre,you will be assigning a cost centre and activity types defined & valid for that cost centre.
Hope it will solve your issue.

Activity Type at cost center

Hi All,
Is Activity types are used only at production cost centers or u can use for any material use in general, i mean, Say i ahve 2 machinerys, i spend bearings and oil for repairs, i called this activity as antifriction. i issue bearings and oil towards this activty to machinery cost center. now i want a report like how much cost i spend on antifriction activity for machine 1 & 2. How should i map my cost ceners to get this report. Can any body tell me what exactly activty types used for?
Thanks in advance
Sarayu.

Hi
Activity types classify the activities produced in the cost centers within a controlling area. To plan and allocate the activities, the system records quantities that are measured in activity units. Activity quantities are valuated using a price (allocation price).
In Overhead Cost Controlling, costs based on the activity type are posted separately in fixed and variable portions. When you divide the activities of a cost center into activity types, you should consider whether the costs can be allocated effectively to the activity types.
You can plan, allocate, and control costs either at the activity type level of a cost center, or at the cost center level.
You can also assign the activity type of a cost center directly example: deprecitation postings.
You can assign one activity type, multiple activity types, or no activity types to a cost center.
I hope this helps.

Activity Type Planning, Cost Center Planning

Hi Friends,
I am learning SAP Controlling. I have few doubts.
1. Activity Type planning (or) Activity Dependent Planning (Cost Center +Activity
type) both are same.
2. Cost Center Planning (or) Activity Independent Planning (Cost Center + Cost
Element +Activity type) both are same.
Thanks,
Rams.N

Activity Planning and Cost planning are different. The first in quantity planning, while Cost planning is Dollar Planning.
While planning cost ($), you can mention, if such cost is activity dependent or not.
The purpose is to derive an actitivity price. This is derived by dividing, the cost by the activity quantity. If a cost center has more than one activity, then the cost need to be associated with the activity. This is where we require to identify, if a cost is activity dependent or not. When you mark a cost as an activity dependent, that cost is fully cosidered while deriving the associated activity price.
The activity independent cost are split amongst activities to derive the price for each activity. This step is done before the activity prices are computed.

Activity Type Master Data

In Activity Type master data we found these options allocation cost element feild.
1     Manual entry, manual allocation
2     Indirect determination, indirect allocation
3     Manual entry, indirect allocation
4     Manual entry, no allocation
What is its relevance? . When to select what?.
Please give example.

Hi,
We are using an activity type for Direct labour. eg of how we have defined the Master Data is below:
ATyp category - 1
1 is selected if Activity types use plan activity quantities. If you are going to plan the quantities for Activity type thru KP26 and then the Activity cost thru KP06 before calculating the Activity price thru KSPI, select 1.
Price indicator - 1
Act. price indicator - 5

ACTIVITY TYPE IN CO

Hi sap gurus
plz spare few minutues with this
What is Activity type in CO
how will u give link with cost center
plz look into this
rgds
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

Assignment of default activity type to individual person

Hi All,
I have following scenario.
One maintenance order is created with one operation. Three persons are assigned to the same operation. All these three persons are having different per hour rate and so having different activity types.
I have mentioned all these 3 activity types in assigned workcenter.
But while executing in maintenance order I can assign only one activity type in operation tab and so the same is appearing during time confirmation as default.
I need respective activity types to be appeared by default for each of persons. How can be achived this?
Sundar

Hi,
As 3 different activity types are having 3 different per hour rate, it would better to define sub operations based on the activity type & assign the activity types separately for each sub operations.
