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.

How to assign activity type to cost center

hi Gurus,

( Error :No activity type assigned to cost center #1301,Controlling area ABCD on 01.02.2008)
Pls provide me the solution where the activity type should be assign to cost center.
Than'x & Regards,

Hi,
Planning at KP26 for Activities itself is integration between Activity and Cost center.
Once you do this, your problems is solved.

Physical significance of activity type on cost center

Hi,
I want to know what is the phsical significance of definiing activity type on cost center.In my situation the activity type is defined on the cost center assigned to the maint. work center.Due to this actual cost is geetting reflected on my order due to the activity rate but physically no such cost is being incurred by the maintenance people.As when any material is consumed on a PM order then the MAP of material is shown as actual cost in PM order.This is ok.Then how this activity type defining is valid on the cost center when no such work is being carried out.Pls. reply.

As mentioned in earlier posts, we will assign Cost center & Activity types in Labor work center. In KP26, for this Cost center, Activity type & period (say Jan to Dec 2011), cost (Fixed & Variable) will be maintained.
Reason to maintain the KP26:
In Business, sometimes contract labors will be paid on hourly basis. If those people do the Maintenance job, as we are paying them, we need to calculate the labor cost.
For Permanent employee, company used to pay salary (fixed & variable component on monthly basis). That will be converted into hourly basis & the same will be maintained.
So that, for expense company doing (paying salary), there should be some offset (getting the work). If you have integration with HR & PM, you can capture the actual hours entered in IW41 in HR time sheet.
Even though there is no such cost explicitly, these cost should be calculated to arrive at the actual work done on equipment.

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.

Kavitha

Assign the desired activity type to cost center 1102 within cost center acc

Dear all,
I am facing the problem mentioned as subject during entering the activity type.
please guide me to overcome this problem.
rgds,
Vijay Mankar

Hi Vijay,
The problem is as expected by me it is due to assignment and acitivty price details missing. This needs to be created in KP26.
Once you enter txn KP26 you need to type active version generally "0", then enter period 1 to 12, Fiscal Year "2007" and populate field "Cost Center" and "Activity type" now use "F5".
In the overview screen populate the value "Fixed Price" and "Variable Price" and save the transaction. (We are entering price for individual period but same across all period)
Now try creating Workcenter and assigning the Cost Center and Activity type. It should work.
Reward your points,

Cost center planning in BW-BPS 3.5 ?!

We did not manage to find any planning areas (applications) for cost center planning (the former SEM-BPS 4CCP0001) and the simplified resource planning (the former SEM-BPS 4RES0010) on BW-BPS 3.5.
Using BPS_TRANS we can not see in client 000 any planning areas, sequences and folders relevant to these planning applications. The same applies for BPS0.
We have several questions about this:
1. Are the SEM 3.5 planning applications (or equivalent) delivered with BW 3.5 BPS?
2. How we can enable/get them on our system? Do we need to install the SEM-BPS 4.0 addon on top of BW 3.5?
Thank you,
Narcis

Thank you for the answer. For lazy people here is your answer from the implementation forum.
-- by Inga Wiele -
1. In order to get the SEM-BPS planning applications you need to install the SEM 4.0 Add-On. As SAP SEM is a part of mySAP ERP it is currently in Ramp-Up and not generally available.
However, SEM 4.0 includes the planning applications Financial Statement Planning, Profitability Planning, Cost Center Planning, Simplified Resource Planning, Investment Planning, Sales Planning and Personnel Cost Planning.
There is a how-to paper on the SAP Service Marketplace which describes the activation of SEM-BPS planning applications.
http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/011000358700004423522001E/INSTALL_PL_APPS30B.PPT
Besides the SEM-BPS planning applications SAP delivers planning applications in the area of CRM, Retail and PLM with the BI Content Add-On 3.51.
2. There are no plans to make the SEM-BPS planning applications available with SAP BW 3.5.
3. You don't need to upgrade to SAP BW 3.5 in order to get the SEM-BPS planning applications.
However the BI Content Add-On 3.51 includes new features for the planning applications of CRM, Retail and PLM.

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
Best Regards

Cost center planning for overhead calculation

Gurus,
I have a doubt regarding the cost center planning for overhead calculation.
My scenario is:
There is a service cost center from which a certain percentage I want to allocate to the products as overhead. Now while doing so I have created a cost center and a cost element of type 43 (internal activity allocation). This cost element is the base for overhead calculation. Also I have created one cost element of type 41 (overhead rates). I have defined the credit (of cost sheet) with the cost element of type 41 and the cost center as mentioned.
Now I am facing a problem while planning the cost center with cost element type 43 through KP06.The system is throwing the error message: 'Cost element xxxx can only be used for activity input'. My understanding is we must carry out the planning for the cost center to allocate a certain percentage to the product cost estimate. If I am not allowed to use the cost element of type 43 to plan, what should I use for the planning?
Request your suggestion.
Thanks in advance!
Snigdho.

Hi
Since you mentioned catg 43 cost element, I thought you are using Activuty Type
To apply overhead on the product during CK11N, you need not plan any value on the cost center... The values planned in the cost center can not be used as a BASE in your costing sheet....
It goes like this
1. Your cost estimate has BOM + Routing
2. So, the cost elements that you would see during CK11N, can be broadly classified into 3 types
a. Primary cost ele - Material Consumption accounts for BOM components
b. Secondary cost ele (Catg 43) - If you use any actvity type in the routing
c. Secondary cost ele (Catg 41) - These cost elements are parasites... They need some basis to calculate the overhead value... That basis can be either the (a) or (b) above.....
I think, what you are planning to do is Plan Primary cost ele in a cost center and trying to use the same as the Basis.. That wont work!
What you need to do is
a. PLan the values in the cost center, say, 100,000 USD
b. Absorb it on the basis of 2.a or 2.b
If 2.b is not applicable in your case, since you are not using activity types, then 2.a is the Only option left for you
Hope it is clear....

Copy cost center planning to profit center

Hi dear,i did cost center planning with KP06,then i try 1KE0 to copy cost center planning data to profit center,but seems it does not work,because there is no relevant planning data when i use KE5Z to check planning data
can someboyd kindly tell me what i need to do to transfer cost center planning to PCA,THANKS

Hi,
To integrate cost center accounting (CCA) planning with PCA, for each fiscal year in Maintenance of Versions, the Integrated Planning checkbox should be checked . Also in PCA, maintenance of plan versions -> settings for Profit Center Accounting, the Online Transfer checkbox should be checked so that the postings are transferred to Profit Center Accounting for each activity automatically
Tcode KE5Z is for Profit Center Actual Line Items. So even if you select record type 1 here, it will not give planning data. Similarly, tcode KE5Y is for Profit Center Plan Line Items. If you select record type 0 here, it will not give actual data. If Integrated Planning is activated (as mentioned above), then KE5Y will give you all planning data, irrespective of whether it is planned using PCA or CCA.

Cost Center Planning done but correct price is no shouing in Costing run

Hi,
In cost center activity planning (KP26). i have planned cost of Setup Activity type is 10 rs per 1 min (Fixed). but when i am running Costing run (CK11N) it is not showing correct price which we have given in cost center planning (KP26).
Cost Element category is 43

So What is the problem. is this problem related to CO or from Workceter.
anybody could help on this.
Thanks

Dear,
If it is low consumable material then remove its cost relevency from BOM item details. So it will not come in costing run.

Cost center planning data table and transaction code to view

Hi,
I want to see the cost center planning document. In which transaction code, I can see this document.
In which table, cost center planning data is stored?
Regards,
VS ramaiah
Moderator: Please, search SDN

Hello,
I do not think that COEP contains the plan line items*. For plan line items it is COEJ. But as suggested by Christian the better option in case you want to create a report is you use COSS/COSP and COST. The latter is for activity type planning (KP26) and the other two are for cost planning (KP06).
The transactions to view the plan document is KABP and line items is KSBP.
* Christian, do correct me if I'm wrong. I was not able to see anything with value type 01 in COEP.
Kind Regards // Shaubhik

Cost center planned values to profit center

Hi All,
Can anyone help to know the customization setting where the cost center planned values are automatically moved to profit center...
Blessy.

Hello,
Can you please check:
IMG => Controlling => General Controlling => Organization => Maintain Versions
Select your version and click on
"Settings for Profit Center Accounting"
See whether "Online transfer" has been check for each year.
In 0KE5, check whether year and activity indicator has been ticked.
Also check in GB02 whether document numbers are maintained for local documents.

SAP - Cost Center Planning - Version 1

Dear All
Recently we have started to use the cost center planning through KP16 under plan version -1
However we are unable to down the plan data in excel with a cost center break up through KSBP report.
We are not using any special ledger
System is showing the following error
No plan cost line items recorded.
Message no. KB419
Diagnosis
No planned costs line items are written to controlling area DXES in version 1 of fiscal year 2009.
System Response
The report cannot be executed.
Procedure
Check your selection criteria or activate the line item update function.
Note
The line item update function is controlled depending on the application:
Cost center planning
Here you can define the update for each version and fiscal year. You can maintain the corresponding indicator (integrated planning) in the version maintenance (settings for the fiscal year).
This indicator you can either
set manually when creating a version or
set later via the menu sequence "Planning -> Planning aids -> Integration active".
Regards
Anilkumar

Hi,
The impact is that the planning is stored also as line items and the planning is integrated between the CO-PCA components. In SAP words:
- All available plan records for controlling area/version/fiscal year are posted as line items. The R/3 System posts these line items to the AC interface.
- Any existing line items in the plan allocation transactions (plan assesment, distribution, or accrual calculation) are posted to the AC interface as well and made available to other components.

Eli
