Actual Activity allocation and Planned and actual activity comparison issue in Product Costing
Friends,
I have tried to explain the issue i am facing currently under Product Costing......
1.Cost Component Structure
10 – Material
20 – Labour
30 – Diesel
40 – Electricity
2.KP26 – Planned under Fixed Price
Labour – 2.0 HR
Diesel – 1.0 HR
Electricity – 5.0 HR
3. When I run CK11N system collecting correct rates for all activities (Costing Lot Size- 1)
Like;
1 E LAB10 994310 2.00 2.00 AED 1.0 HR Labour Cost New
2 E DIE20 994320 5.00 5.00 AED 1.0 HR Diesel Cost New
3 E ELE30 994330 1.00 1.00 AED 1.0 HR Electricity Cost
4 M 1100000042 5.00 0.00 AED 1 PC RAW MATERIAL BAKERY CONSUMED
5 G 994201 0.00 0.00 AED Depriciation Cost
6 G 994202 0.00 0.00 AED Sales & Distribution Cost
13.00 AED
4.When I do process order Cost analysis for the produced goods it shows me different figures as my
BOM – RM is 1100000042 1 Quantity
Routing – All activity time is 1 Hr
40002 RAW MATERIAL BAKERY CONSUMED 1005/1100000042 5.00

994330 Electricity Cost CBAKYPDDXB/ELE30 0.67
2.67- AED
Note :- As per my understanding it should be
Labour Cost New 2.00
Diesel Cost New 5.00
Electricity Cost 1.00
5.Now after Process Order confirmation
40002 RAW MATERIAL BAKERY CONSUMED 1005/1100000042 5.00

6.For Month end actual Activity calculation and load the activaty actual rates on product
I have configured the system in below manner
1 Work center = Mapped to 1 Production Cost center
Three Different Activities mapped to Secondary Cost Element with 43 Category
For Electrictity Activity assesment from Primary to secondary 1 more cost element created with

CBAKYPDDXB Production Dxb ELE30 183.33
CBAKYPDDXB Production Dxb LAB10 183.35
1100.00
Issue – System Split Electricity cost between all the activities assigned to Workcentres Cost Centre.
But I want to post that cost only to ELE30 Activity and not for all
When I RUN KSSI for actual Price determination system shows
OTy Object Name AUn Act Qty Total price Price (Fixed) PUnit
ATY CBAKYPDDXB/DIE20 Production Dxb HR 5.0 366.66 366.66 10

ATY CBAKYPDDXB/LAB10 Production Dxb HR 2.0 916.75 916.75 10
2200.06
2200.06 is almost double than 1100.00 which is actual electricity cost and the same is actually determined for all the activities.
After revaluation of the process order system posting below values
40002 RAW MATERIAL BAKERY CONSUMED 1005/1100000042 5.00 5.00
40015 COST OF GOODS MANUFACTURED 1005/4400000071 13.00- 13.00-

994330 Electricity Cost CBAKYPDDXB/ELE30 0.67 183.33
2.67- 542.01
Production Variance is posted as 542.01….
I strongly believe there is some issue in configuration for activity allocation….
Main issue is
Point No. 4 – Different Figures in Process Order Cost Analysis
Point No. 7 – Assessment cycle run
Point No. 8 – KSS2 and KSII for Actual cost Allocation and Production variance…
Friends… I have tried to explain maximum please help me to understand the concept or missing configuration/Process.
Thanks

Dear Rajneesh,
I have made the changes as suggested....
It seems now my Order Cost analysis and Product cost analysis are showing the same figures.
I have also maintained cost center splitting structure for ELE30 Activity allocation.

In my case actual activity confirmed is 3.1 for 2 orders in period 5
Order 1 - QTY 2
Order 2 - QTY 1.1
Total actual Electricity exp is 1150 in period 5
followed procedure to post actual activity on product is mentioned below
KSS2 Actual cost splitting - Result as expected 1150 for ELE30
KSII Actual price determination - Result as expected 3.1 actual confirmed QTY for ELE30 with actual price
QTY 3.1 Tot Price 3,709.68 Planned(FIX) 3,709.68 Per Units 10
(System is doing 1150/3.1*10=3709.68)
3.CON2 Actual revaluation of orders
Here while reevaluating the Process Orders system calculation is different
Order 1 - QTY 2 - 558.00
Order 2 - QTY 1.1 - 407.56
Total - 965.57
4. After CON2 system is changing the value of other activities like
LAB10 - Actual confirmed Value 10 to 0
DIE20 - Actual confirmed Value 10 to 0
Which should not be the case....

If we want to just post Electricity cost based on actual Electricity expenses and Labor and Diesel are based on planned activity rates.
What setting is required in current system.....

I just changed phones and data plans and was told that I would NOT a data usage alert again. I just got one. What's up with that?
Do you have Wifi at home? Do you do a lot of social media, internet surfing, video etc? Go to settings/data usage/ and scroll up to see what is consuming your data. You can restrict any of these apps from data usage by selecting one, then scrolling up and checking "restrict background data" for each app you wish to limit. Ones restricted will still function on wifi if available. Data can be restored to any app by unchecking a checked box. That's a start.
I keep my S5's data turned off unless I have a particula need when not near wifi. This month I'm near mid way through my billing period and have consumed around 29MB. Not as much fun for sure but much easier on the wallet. Caution, public wifi is likely not a secure connection.
You also can set alert and limit levels for data use by your phone on the Data Usage screen of your phone. -
Hey guys,
as I am familiar with the Query Designer, I'm looking for a way, to select dimension members on rows. Anyway, I don't now how to achieve the following selections:
ACTUAL / APR.2008 -- ACTUAL / MAY.2008 -- ACTUAL / JUN.2008 -- PLAN / JUL.2009 -- PLAN / AUG.2009 -- PLAN / SEP.2009 --
I don't know how to achieve. I can select mimbers 2008 and 2009, and ACTUAL and PLAN...but then the cartesian product is shown.
How to achieve the above mentioned structure?
So far...
ChristianChristian,
If this is a static report...in the sense that, you do not want to have your plan and actual categories to move with time...i.e next month in Aug , you do not want your actual till july and rest as plan....
this shld be achievable by hard coding the values of your categories...
1)when you open your evdre ..and click on the column headings plan/actual..you see a EVCVW() formula...telling you tht it is being pulled from current view....delete that formula and hard code the value to Actual/plan... and make your colkeyrange NOEXPAND.
But if the above situation is not your case, and you need a rolling forecast scenario...then one of the ways to achieve this is with excel functionality... as previously pointed by subramaniam.... you have to use the now () functionality to get the month and year and concatenate these (TEXT(NOW(),"mmm") " "YEAR(NOW()))...
and based on the current month you have to define the categories Actual and plans and these have to be maintained in your excel...and once you have your column headers right and have the colkeyexpansion locked with noexpand....you shld be set...
hope this helps...

Material Ledger Active - K088 Settlement doesnt use Actual Cost Comp Split
Production Order quantities are all scrap (in confirmation) thus order balance contains Consumed Materials and Activity Allocation
When KO88 Settlement is run, the system uses Standard Cost Component Split to allocate the residual to Cost Components instead of the Actual Cost Component Split
When we run the flow trace, the message says:
"Splitting according to output material S-Price CCS"
Expectation was that costs would flow according to Actual Cost Component split.
There is note 756167 - This note activates the update of the actual cost component split information in the material ledger document when you perform the order settlements.
However current release is 604, so its expected that this is already applied.
Any help or insight on how to settle using Actual Cost Component split is appreciated.
Edited by: Chris Gibson on May 5, 2010 8:57 PM
Edited by: Chris Gibson on May 5, 2010 8:59 PMThe second option you mentioned of using separate value field for transferring the standard cost component split from the actual cost component split is the way SAP designed this integration between CO-PA and the Material Ledger. But 40 value field for cost component split is excessive. CO-PA allows up to 120 value fields maximum, so I agree it does not seem prudent to use 80 of them for this purpose.
I suggest you reexamine the level of detail you think may be needed in CO-PA and try to use CO-PC reports at the cost element level to report on more detail. Keep the CO-PA view more aggregated and you can stick with the standard solution for comparing standard to actual costs in CO-PA.

Iteraton in Indirect Activity Allocation
Hi All,
At the outset, I WISH YOU ALL A HAPPY N PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR 2009.
Issue:
There are around 15 Service and Utility Cost centers and about 50 Administrative Cost Centers.
The cost to be planned for these cost centers includes Fixed Cost and Variable Cost. But in SAP, Cost Element Planning for these cost centers in KP06, will allow only planning of Fixed Cost because there is no activity planning for these cost centers.
IS THERE ANY WAY TO PLAN VARIABLE COST IN ACTIVITY INDEPENDENT PLANNING?
For Service and Utility Cost Centers above, I created activity types and could plan both Fixed and Variable costs. But, Clientu2019s business process demands iteration to take place among Service and Utility Cost Centers. Once the system does the iteration, then what ever the cost Per Unit comes in each of the Cost Centers is considered to be their final Per Unit Cost of services.
I created Plan Cycle for Indirect Activity Allocation. But there is no u201CIterationu201D possible in that. The Activity Type Category in Plan is 2/3 and in Actual u201CBlanku201D (As in Planning).
Because there is no Iteration available in Plan Indirect Activity Allocation, I created cycle for only Service Cost Centers (to get the Service Cost Per Unit) and Assessment Cycle to allocate the cost from Service Cost Centers to Production Cost Centers. When I run the Indirect Activity Allocation cycle, the system is allocating the cost from sender Service Cost Center to all Receiver Cost Centers by taking the Ratio of SKF instead of considering the Actual SKF Value.
Example:
Sender Service Cost Center A has Planned Activity Quantity of 1000 hr and Planned Cost of USD 100000. So, Planned Cost per Hr is USD 100. The receiver Service Cost Centers B, C, D has consumed 10, 20 and 30 hours respectively and balance of 940 hours were consumed by Production Cost Centers.
My Plan Indirect Activity Allocation Cycle is as followsu2026
Sender Cost Center Receiver Cost Center RTF
Service Cost Center A Service Cost Center B 10
Service Cost Center C 20
Service Cost Center D 30
So, I expect the system to allocate cost of USD 1000, USD 2000, and USD 3000 from Cost Center A to B, C, and D respectively.
But I found the system taking the ration of B: C: D i.e., 10:20:30. So, the allocated amount isu2026
To Cost Center B = (10/60)* USD 100000
To Cost Center B = (20/60)* USD 100000
To Cost Center B = (30/60)* USD 100000
Though in u201CTarget=Actualu201D (which is based on u201COperating Rateu201D) method iteration is possible, this method is not suitable for clientu2019s business process, as, the actual activity hrs will be calculated by the system automatically based on the changes in output of final receiver cost centers. (Ex. When I do Plan Reconciliation).
I seek your suggestion regarding this.

Edited by: Srikanth Munnaluri on Jan 5, 2009 7:15 AMHi Srikanth,
Did you get a way to plan varriable costs in activity independant planning? Even I am looking for a solution to the problem. Let me know if you found out a way to do it.

How to Capture Logistics activity in overall Product costing?
Can anyone guide me and suggest me some ideas for capturing the logistics activity (both material inward and outward) to adding it to the overall product cost.
Sorry in fact, it was a typographical error. CO forum is the ideal forum to get suitable suggestions.

Activity prices in KP26 used for actual and plan in version 0
We plan activity prices via KP26 in version 0. We then plan activity consumption via KP06, and run the plan reconciliation via KPSI.
During the year, we need to update the activity prices used in actual activity allocation. This price also comes from version 0.
When we change the activity price, the planned amounts change also. We are looking for a way to maintain a separate price for actual activity allocation.Ajay,
Your answer definitely sent me down the right path...thank you!
For other's benefit, these are the steps I took to make this work:
1) set the "Purely Iter. Price" indicator in plan version 0
2) import planning layout 1-N01 from client 000 (OBKF)
3) add planning area "Cctr: Manual actual prices" to planning layout SAPALL (KP34)
4) add planning layout 1-N01 to planner profile SAPALL (KP34)
5) create and run custom program from note 551309 to add cost element field to the input screen in KBK6 (SE38)
6) transport planning layout for planning area "Cctr: Manual actual prices" (OKEX)
Now we can plan a price in KP26, and maintain a different price in KBK6 which is used in the actual activity allocation.
Thanks again,

Planned and Actual costs at the Activity level
Hi all,
Can you tell me if there is a R/3 report which lists out the planned and actual costs for a project and displays it for each network and activity? I want these values at the activity level.
I found a report which lists out these values for each network, but I cannot drilldown to the activity level. Please help.
Thanks,
Satyajit.Hi,
There is setting in network type. Please go through transaction OPUV i.e.
Change view- Network type paramaeters : overview " Overview.
Uner Network type parameters there is one radio button in front of ActvtyAcctAssgn. Just activate it.
Hope this helps.

Actual activity allocation is not allowed for order .
hi ,
During confirmation of operation at co11n (also at co11), got one error massage i.e "actual activity allocation is not allowed for order "
Due to this error confirmation is not possible .
pls help me to solve this problem.
AMOL WAGHDear,
What is message number? Did you assign the usersttus in BS02?
For allocation activity costs, we need to define activity type in KL01 by specifying the unit of measurement of the particular activity type (like machine - Hours etc.). While creating activity type, we will assign a secondary cost element (with category 43) in the activity type through which the activity cost will flow.
After that we will plan for cost center in KP06 (cost elementwise). Then we will plan machine hours in KP26 where we will link the activity type to a particular cost center.
When we do price calculation in KSPI, system checks the planned costs for cost center (in KP06) and also checks the machine hours planned (in KP26) and gives the cost for the particular activity type.
Please check the above in the system

Hi SAP Gurus,
I am facing one problem in Actual activity allocation
In production cost center, cost centers are credited with plan price (Re.1) for every activity qty confirmation
the system posted from Jan to May plan price
in the month of June system posted price Rs.2.02 for five transaction for the rest of the transaction it is taking Re.1. I don't from where this has been picked/calculated by the system
Please help in finding this
regards
VSN
Edited by: priyas78 on Sep 5, 2011 2:23HI,
- What is displayed in KSBT - plan must be the same of kp26; executing the report select only period 6, otherwise the system show average values.
- May be I did not understand correctly your question; for clarification, what do you mean with "Re" and "Rs"? are them two different activity type?

Actual activity allocation / revaluation
Hi All,
My company is using SAP ISH (healthcare) in order to book Services to patient cases. We have linked the Services to some activity types which are generated by the Performing Unit in ISH. The Performing unit is linked to a cost centre in CO where the planned Activity rate has been set up (KP26). The patient case is linked 1:1 with an internal order in CO which receives the activity posting.
My company would like to ensure that all of the costs relevant to these activities are allocated out of the cost centre on to the receiving internal orders at month end. I have not worked in CO for a few years but I believe that this will involve a couple of steps in the month end process.
1 Re-calculate the actual activity prices
2 Revalue the actual postings
Each cost centre generates 2 or more activities which need to be valued. Example below
Performing unit THEATRE1 - Operating theatre, performs operations on 2 patient cases
CASE1 - Knee replacement
Activity type - Consumables = 100 units @ £2ea = £200
Drugs = 10 units @ £30ea = £300
CASE2 - Hip Replacement
Activity type - Consumables = 200 units @ £2ea = £400
Drugs = 50 units @ £30ea = £1500
Total credit to the THEATRE1 cost centre
Consumables - £600
Drugs - £1800
At month end the actual costs posted to the cost centre are as follows
Consumables - £800
Drugs - £2000
In order to credit the full amount to the Internal orders from the cost centre the prices must be recalculated and the activity allocation transactions need to be revalued.
Can you please confirm the steps to configure the month end price calculation (specifically around the splitting rule on the cost centre to determine which costs belong to which activity type), and steps to process the revaluation of the transactions?
Many thanks
PhilHi Philip,
When u work with cost center independent planning system can't underunderstand which GL account and cost center should plan with respective activity. For that reason we create splitting structures.
Cost center splitting is used in Cost Center Independent Planning where in KP06 you have cost center and cost element only. In this screen, you will not find Activity.
So, to give a relationship between Cost center, cost element, and activity, we will do splitting structure in OKES, and assign it to cost center in OKEW.
When you do KSS2, it will split the costs based on the splitting structure between activities and cost centers.
In this case, you have to maintain qty values in KP26 and later do KP06.
E.g.: we have 3 cost elements:
Salary - 100000
Depreciation - 200000
Electricity - 100000
Total = 400000
Activities:
Labour - 500 hrs
Machine - 1000 hrs
Total = 1500 hrs.
Here, when u calculate per hour rate system wi'll consider total amount / total activity hours.
= 400000/1500 = 226 INR/per hour
Here, if you want to consider salary amount only with Labour hours and deprecation and electricity for machine hours.
For this we will create splitting structure to provide link between cost elements and activity.
In the alove example salaries Wilkinson be linked to labour activity abduction dep and electricity will be linked to .machine hours.
When you run KSPI it will split the cost between respective cost elements and activities. Here, for salary per hour cost would be 100000/500 = 200 per hour.
Also machine per hour rate would be 300000/1000 hours = 300 per hour.
Same will happen in the case of KSII. I.e. actual cost/ activity hours Between respective cost elements and activity.
Hope you understand the basic concept of splitting structure.

PLANNED AND ACTUAL COST IN A PROCESS ORDER
From where the planned cost of material and activity types in cost itemizationafter creation flow ?From where the actual cost of a material and activity types in cost analysis of process order after confirmation flow?
You may be knowing you give Costing Variants ( Both actual as well as Planned ) in Order type. These Costing variants contains Valuation variants which says which costs are to be taken while creation ( for Planned Cost ) and Actual cost ( while confirming and Moving Goods) to be calculate. These Variants decides mode of Cost Flows.
Now, Data in Planned costs are Standard Cost figures or Current prices for material or Planned Prices of Activities.
As far as Actual costs are considered it may be the price for the consumed quantity @ the moving average price of the day or activity price for the qty. consumed which include up planned consumption too.....

Hi,
I have one requirement in progress analysis that system can find out the date wise planned and actual POC e.g:-
A1 activity having ear start date -01.03.2011 fin date- 15.03.2011
A1 Actual date-01.03.2011 to 03.03.2011 processing =30%
But when i run CNE1 and putting To Period =march 2011 and then cne5 system is showing result month wise planned and actual poc.
My requirement is to get planned POC as per date .If i will select for 3 days then planned POC also comes for 3 days and not for 15 days(01-mar to 15-mar)
We want to use progress analysis for activity date only
Progress version-100
Planned method- Time Proportionality.
Actual Method-Degree of processing from confirmation
So when we confirmed the activity 30% then in actual POC it is showing 30 and in plan also for 3days(01.03.2011 to 03.03.2011).
