Activity type issue

Hi Experts
We have maintained new P exchange rates ( USD >> AUD)yesetday with validity form October 2009. During the costing run today we've noticed that the activity types are not consideriing the latest rate for calculation (completed KP26 with period 1 to 12 for 2009).
Please advice me why this is happening? Are we missing anything here.
Thanks in advance.

Hi PK,
The title of your issue is rather confusing with what you did with your system because when you do Costing run or product costing, the system do the calculation of your product/products based on Costing variant assigned to the product in which plant the product is calculated.
You have to be aware of the function of Costing variant. The costing variant contain all the rule and parameter of how the system get the prices of your materials in the BOM and how the price of activity types are calculated in the Routing. For the point of activity type you need to check what strategies are determined in the valuation variant which is assigned in the Costing run. Please check by following menu path at IMG/Spro:
Controlling> Product Cost Controlling>Product Cost Planning> Material Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure>Define Costing Variants.
Once you get costing variant which is used in the Costing run/Product costing, then check the valuation variant assigned. Go to detail of valuation variant. The valuation variant determine of how the system get the prices as mentioned above.
Let's get back to your issue and what you did in the system. Changing the P exhange rate has nothing to do your costing run directly, especially for activity type. The price of activity type is defined by the "planning activity output price (t-code KP26) and based on strategy defined at "Activity types/Processes" tab in the valuation variant. Is it using "Plan price as average of all fiscal year period" or any other strategy priority defined for the activity types. I don't think you do planning the cost of cost center using foreign currency.
The only possibility of how your exchange rate change would affect your cost calculation if your materials are procured in foreign currency and if material valuation strategy in the valuation variant use the first priority "L" Price from purchasing info record". If the price defined in the "Material Val" tab are others than mentioned above, your change in E/R would not affect your costing run/Product costing.
Hope this help your understanding of how costing variant and valuation run better.

Activity type change issue in CAT2

Hi Experts,
In CAT2 timesheet we are using two fields, Activity type and Operation/Activity. The problem is, when we change the Operation/Activity field to another value the Activity type field does not change automatically. How can we set the fields that relate to Operation/Activity to change automatically when we change just Operation/Activity field value?
Thanks a lot.

Dear Raj,
Its very good question.
Once after making some BOM changes or rate routing changes if you are not updating or doing the
preliminary cost estimate once again in KKF6N,then while doing backflush in KKF6N,the system books
the old values or it picks the old BOM or rate routing only.
The made changes will not get refelected in MFBF.
You can check this in MFBF,say after making some BOM changes without updating the same in
KKF6N ,do the production booking in MFBF and you will be seeing the system picking the previous
BOM only.
Check and revert back.

Confirmation of activity types in CO11N

Dear Experts,
I have a small issue, while confirmation of production order in CO11N the activity type for the actual quantity is confirming but our requirement is that if we are confirming the half quantity means partial quantity, activity should also be confirmed for the half quantity.
Thanks & Regards,
Alok Tiwari

Dear Bhupendra Singh,
First of all thank you very much for your reply.
I am trying to do the way you said but it is not happening.
My requirement is if the production order quantity is 10 each and planned activity is 10 min for labor and if i want to confirm partially 5 each then the activity to confirm for labor should automatically propose me 5 min.

"Activity type 420 1002 2393074 in the fiscal year 2010 not valid" PM03

We have an issue with the PM03 for the year 2010. "When the scheduler tries to schedule the pm..He gets an error "Activity type 420 1002 2393074 in the fiscal year 2010 not valid" The planner will close the work order then re-open it. The error will go away, but when the work order is scheduled there is 0 hours scheduled.. This will be a big issue if there are not any hours assigned to work orders.
Can you help me?
Thanks!

Davison,
Please maintain the prices for the activity type, Cost center combination for the fiscal year 2010 using transaction KP26. The log generally disappears after you save and leave the transaction. You will see the log again only when you reschedule the order and are in the same transaction.
Also check whether "scheduling" has been activated for the PM03 control key for scheduling to be taken into consideration for the operation.You can view the same by using the drop down for the control key on the transaction.

Multi Resource Scheduling MRS - How to exclude certain Maint Activity Types

is there a way to exclude orders that have a specific maintenance activity type. We have standing work orders that in reality we should not have appear on the planning board. Well, we really shouldn't have any standing orders but we do.
Has anyone had this issue and been able to solve it. thanks, Linda

While a lot of MRS configuration includes maintenance activity type as a way to refine the circumstances in which something occurs (e.g., stretched assignments), that is not the case for defining which demands will be brought into MRS. However, while not positive, I believe "BAdI: Integration of Maintenance/Service Order with MRS (ERP)" can be used for this purpose.

Operations and Activity type.

Summary :- A service order was created with an operations.The complete confirmation was done and 3 operations were confirmed. 1st and 2nd operation have same activity type and 3rd has different activity type. A document was created through DIP profile, but it has entry of only 2 materials.We wanted 3 materials. When checked in DIP profile, the summarization of activity type is not ticked; it means it will summarize the activity types.
Problem:- The activity types should not summarize. We do not want to use the activity summarization in DIP profile in Usage --> characteristics, as if we change that it will affect other documents using the DIP profile. Kindly suggest any other solution for this issue.
Thanks.

Hi Satish,
In Materail determination define 3 service products
and in criteria assign those three activity types to those service products so that in billing you will get three materials
try and pls let me know
if it is useful to you pls reward me with points

Activity Type ENGINE not set up for cost center

Hi all,
Currently, we have set up a work center in our system, which has the following intergration:
- Controlling Area --> TECH
- Cost Center --> TECH001
- Activity Type --> ENGINE
- Plant --> PN01
- Work Center --> PL01
Based on the above, the work center PL01 has the relationship of where Activity Type ENGINE and Cost Center TECH001 are linked together, where Cost Center is tied to Controlling Area TECH.
However, when a user tried to create General Task List (Trxn IA05), under Work Center PL01 and Plant PN01, and inserted Activity Type ENGINE in Operation item. It gives the following error:
Activity Type ENGINE not set up for cost center
I have also checked KP26 that everything is setup correctly.
Please can someone shed some light on the above?
Many thanks and regards,
Patrick
PS: Full point guaranteed for helpful answer.

Hi all,
I have solved the issue by changing the Start Date of the Work Center. Now everything works well.
cheers,

PO Condition Type Issue

Hi All,
I have encounter a PO condition type issue, hope to get someone to enlighten me.
I have create both cuztomize condition type ZOT2 AND ZOT3.
With config in Control data 1
Cond. Class - A Discount or Surcharge
Calculat. type - B Fixed Amount
Cond. category - B Delivery cost
Group Condition
Select for Group cond. & RoundDiffComp
GrpCond.routine - 1 Overall Document
ZOT2 in header condition should be divided into item via value.
ZOT3 in header condition should be divided into item via quantity.
Both condition type havemanually enter with value 300
In the test PO I have created 3 materials:-
Material     Quantity     Net Price     Item Net
A     100     1,615.00     161,500.00
B     100          16.15         1,615.00
C     1000          16.15       16,150.00
In the Item view calculation for both condition type as stated below:-
ZOT2 - 270.27 : 2.70 : 27.03 (Ratios base on Value 100:1:10)
ZOT3 - 270.27 : 2.70 : 27.03 (Rations base on Quantity 1:1:10) the amount result should be 25: 25: 250 but the result I get from the system for condition type ZOT3 is the same as ZOT2.
Please advise how to reticfy the configuration. Thank you.

Hi Eugenia...
I tested scenario with values you have mentioned. It works perfect both ways. Pls follow this....
1. Pls avert the changes I had suggested in my prev reply for changing the condition types. (group condition active, round diff condition & group cond routine, keep them as they are)
2. While you enter value in header with condition type ZOT2. the value gets properly distribute by the ratio 100:1:10 and thats perfect......Now
3. While you enter the values for condition type ZOT3 in the header...Pls note that your Total Qty is 1200 and the total condition value is 300 this means per unit qty the value is 300/1200 =0.25...
Now while you enter the values for ZOT3 in the header, enter 300 in the Amount column and 1200 in the Per column, meaning that the total of 300 shoud be divided into 1200 units irrespective of quantities per Line Item
Now check the results and you will have the distribution ratio 1:1:100
NB:For ZOT3 (Qty base) to work the UoM for all the line items must be similar
Pls check and revert

Shiva

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:

Document Collaboration with In-Place Editing Activity Type

Hello,
My client needs to use the Document Collaboration with In-Place Editing Activity Type.
He currently uses the Microsoft Office 2000 but unfortunately this version triggers an error.
what are Microsoft Office versions that support this functionality?
Would you please proveide me an official list to give to him?
I could only find the following passage of the NPD pdf documentation:
"...Note that Office 2007 extensions are not supported with NPD
in-place editing...
Thanks and regards
Daniele Domenicucci

I would actually be curious to know what version most customers are using. 2000 is now 4 releases behind the current, and soon to be 5.
Although I think Office 2000 should technically work, it was also the first release with a built-in webDAV client, there might be some additional configuration to get it to work. maybe some digging on the microsoft support site regarding webdav and Office 2000. But, I also think it's a question of support b/w Office and WebDAV; not Office and PLM4P.
Instead, I would recommend using a newer release of Office to avoid this issue, altogether.

SAP HR Active Sync Issue

I encountered SAP HR Active Sync issue: The IDM seems can't receive the IDOC but SAP side says the data already passed to port OK.
I enabled the verbose mode of the Active Sync logs and it is repeating:

3. Enter an Employee's ID for the Object ID or select a range of employees.
4. Click Execute.
5. Ensure that the status is set to passed to port okay.
6. The IDoc has been created. Check the Active Sync adapter log file to verify that

Now why I can't see the IDOC logs in the active sync adaptor log file?

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 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.
Regards
Kavitha
