Actual price calculation - acutal price indicator KSII

Hi Friends
I am trying to calculate actual price (KSII) and am getting the following message.
All activity prices are manually entered
Message no. KP211
Diagnosis
All activity prices in controlling area 1000, fiscal year 2009, and version 0 were determined and set as manually entered prices.
In actual price calculation, all plan activity prices, meaning those calculated automatically (activity price indicator 1 and 2) and those set manually (activity price indicator 3), are treated as if they have been set manually.
System Response
The SAP System cannot calculate activity prices automatically.
Processing is cancelled.
Procedure
Check your activity type planning. To calculate the activity price automatically, you must set the activity price indicator accordingly.
Pl suggest what the actual price indicator should be in activity master data
I am putting 5 there (after some actual data is posted) but it is not working. it is still giveing the above error and not calculating the actual price.
Pl suggest the way out.
Regards,

Hi,
In activity type creation check whether you maintained activity category as "1" and actual price indicator as"5"

Hi
when you gone to the transaction code Kp26 Activity typ price/ planning after give the input press period screen or F6 function key and check what price was maintained for your period 12.
And even you do one thing go to the transaction code KS02 or 03. Give the cost center and press enter . Then from the meny bar select Environment -> whereused list->.
And let me confirm how you run the cost estimate for the material

Actual Activity Price calculation; KSII

Hello,
I am trying to calculate actual activity price but the system does not calculate the price though I have soecified the appropriate price indicator '5' in the Activity type master record.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Something doesn't seem right here. You created an Activity Price and plugged in the Plan Fixed and Variable price for the Activity in KP26.
So why are you running KSII now? KSII is for Actual Activity Price Calculation, run at month-end after all your POs have been closed and activities booked.
Can you provide additional info.?
Cheers.

Actual Price Calculation (KSII)

hi,
I am not able to get the actual prices for my production order.
I maintained certain settings for actual price calculation in OKEQ.
Does it is mandatory to run the MFN1 (Revaluation of actual prices) before the KSII.
Srinivas

Hi Sateesh,
Please find below the process for calculation of Actual Activity Prices:
1. Define Splitting structure, rules (method). I am sure you would have done this
2. Assign the splitting structure to Cost Centers. I hope you would be done this as well
3. Actual values (Costs and quantitative details) will get collected to cost centers in the following way:
- Quantities will get collected to Cost Centers once the confirmation of activities are done for the production order. Please make sure that "Record Quantity" check box is selected for the relevant secondary cost elements.
- Values will get collected from FI to the primary cost elements
you may check whether the values have been properly collected to the cost center using the cost center reports
4. Execute cost Split using - KSS2
5. Then calculate Actual activity unit price - KSII
6. Once the prices are successfully calculated, you can check the prices in KP26
7. after this process is completed then you can revaluate you production orders using the actual activity prices
I hope i made is clear.
Let me know if you need further details in this regard

KSS2 KSII Actual activity price calculation

Dear Grus !
I want to carry out actual activity price calculation. I assigned activity type act 100 to act500 to different cost element, and also assigned splitting rule 12.
also entered activity plan price in KP26. cost element planning in KP06.
When I carry out KSS2, system distribute cost of one cost element to activity types according to the target cost maintained in KP06. I want the result that cost distributed as maintained in the splitting rule.
is there any specific configuration that i missed?
Thank you all ~
Lynn

Check whether you have maintained the Equivalence number for the activity type and cost center combination in KP26.
Also you have to run the KSPI before running KSII, because KSII result is the iterative one.
Hope this will help you.

KSII (Actual Price Calculation)

Gurus
When I execute the said KSII; result for activity prices is as follows:
ACTIVITY TYPE 1 = ACTUAL COST/ACTUAL HRS = RESULT OK
ACTIVITY TYPE 2 = ACTUAL COST/ACTUAL HRS = RESULT OK
ACTIVITY TYPE 3 = RESULT WRONG
ACTIVITY TYPE 4 = NO RESULT
Same rule is assigned to all activity types in Cost Splitting Structure.
Actual activity quantity is also posted for each activity, I am confused why not system's behaviour is same for all activity types price calculation.
Thanks
bukhari

Hi,
Just check if you have done the Cost Element planning for the correct Cost Element & Cost Centre combination as defined in the Splitting structure and further the Splitting rule is based on the Activity quantity.(KP26)
Also ensure that you have planned for the Activity quantity for the same cost centres for which you have planned the costs. (KP06)
Award points if useful.

CALCULATION OF ACTUAL PRICE CALCULATION - KSII

Dear Friends,
We are using Make to Order scenario and NOT USING Sales order based costing, I would like to calculate Automatic activity price calculation and revaluate my production order with actual prices (MFN1), for this I need to create & assign splitting rules to cost centers & follow the t.codes KSS2, KSII, KBK7 (DISPLAY) and finally MFN1.
For Calculation of KSS2, how Plan Quantity has to be decided, this because for calculating Operating rate system take the formula as below, whether the below formula is correct?
Actual quantity/ Planned quantity * variable price
If for a cost center, postings are happened in FI for 10000/- then how system calculate & segregate this?
if possible with an small example, when checked in KSS2 it shows the amount of postings from FI with cost elements.
But when we checked t.code KSII it was showing the some different Actual Activity and variable price. How system takes the Actual activity and Variable Price and is there any report to check this?
please guide me
Regards,
Sandeep

Hi Paolo,
You were exactly right that it was rounding off.
But still am not able to get the calculation working for me.
In Cost Center Report Actual/ Plan it shows
Debit Assessment Cost Element 10000
Credit Machine Hour 458.16-
Credit labour Hour 124.96-
over/under Absorption 9,416.88
This are all actual cost.
When i run KSII the result is as below

Actual price calculation

Hi Experts,
We have this scenario:
1. Activity prices are entered manually in KP26.(Activity type indicator=5)
2. At the time of CO11N only POWER activity will confirm.
3. Executing CPTA for overhead allocation.
4. KSS2 for power activity
5. No splitting for other cost elements
6. KSII Actual price calculation
7. MFN1 Revaluation of order
After revaluatin of order when i am checking actul cost for activities only power cost is coming.
Please find the enclosed print screens for same above process.
Please guide me how to get the actual price calculation for other activities.
KP26 :
KSS2:
KSII:
CO03:
Regards,
Vivaan

Hi Rajneesh,
Yes Splitting rule is Activity only.
Ex.
1.Order Quantity = 1000
2. I confirmed yeild 500 Qty & power activity 200 in CO11N.
3. Now when i execute CPTA for that order its calculating like below.
4. KSS2:
KSII:
Now actual price is coming same for other activities except power.
If i maintain no split structure that time in KSII only power actual price coming as print screens posted in original query posted.
Please advise me on Actuall price calculation as per our business scenario.
Regards,
Vivaan
Now my client is asking is as below
Cost center report xxxxxx
Water GL cost = 60000
Water Qautnity=1000(This is PO Total order quantity)
Water actual price=60000/1000 =60
Confirmed Quantity= 500
Actual price calculation for water = 500*60=30000
same for other activities also.
Please advise.

Vivaan

Authorization control for actual price calculation

Dear all,
I found that there is no authorization control for actual price calculation(KSII), this means user can calculate actual price for all cost centers, even this cost center belongs to other company. Is there a way to control this?
Thanks,
Ben

Hi Ben,
By SAP standard we do not have the control. we also have the same situation. We are venturing in to Realisation phase and we decided to have some kind of program (development) to control this.
Please let me know if you find some better solution

Actual Price Calculation Issues

Hi,
I need explanation on how the system calculates actual prices in KSII.
In my cases i maintained Rs 1.00 as variable price for my activity type and cost center combination in KP26. My planned activity is 1000 Mins and actual activity is 3600. in KSII system is showing 2129.64 as actual price calculation. how the system is calculation as 2129.64. If i see cost center report it is showing that over absorption as -2600.
Please guide me on the actual price calculation.

HI,
KSII - Actual Cost/Actual Qty.
Please check what is your actual cost and Actual qty. in your cost center report and check. Planned qty. or Planned cost is not taken for consideration during KSII.
Bye,
Ramesh

Actual activity price calculation for production order

Hi
Can any one guide me in how many ways we can assign actual activity price calculation for production order?
I knew only one way by assigning PPP2 costing variant?
I have another doubt is: if we don't mention any material valuation indicator (moving average, standard) in valuation variant, how system will calculate material prices? is there any other way, to recognize the prices by system?
regards,
Ramesh B

Dear,
Costing variant PPP2 is linked to some valuation variant inn OPL1
System will check the valuation of material and activity according to this valuation variant
For material valuation there are many stg acceding to which system will take the price the raw material,
Valuation strategy for material component
Strategy sequence that determines the valuation of the materials used in the cost estimate.
Use
The materials are valuated using the price in the material master record or the values calculated in a material cost estimate.
Procedure
You can enter a single strategy, or you can enter multiple strategies in the form of a strategy sequence. If you enter multiple strategies, the priority of the strategy determines what price or what values are selected.
Examples
Assume that the following strategy sequence is entered for material valuation:
1. Planned price 1
2. Standard price
3. Moving average price
If the system finds a value in the Planned price 1 field (costing view), this value is taken as the value for valuating the material.
If the system does not find a value, the value in the Standard price field (accounting view) is used.
If the material does not have a standard price, the system uses the value from the Moving average price field.
if you have not mentioned, then system will give error that "valuation stg not found"
Valuation strategy for internal activities and processes-
Strategy sequence that determines how internal activities and processes are valuated in costing.
Use
The activities and business processes used are valuated with the prices from Cost Center Accounting or Activity-Based Costing to determine the production costs or process costs. The prices can either be calculated iteratively through price calculation, or entered manually by the user.
Procedure
You can enter either a single strategy or more than one strategy in the form of a strategy sequence. If you enter more than one strategy, the priority of the strategy determines which price is selected.
Examples
The following strategy sequence is entered:
1. Actual price of the previous period
2. Plan price of the previous period
3. The most current plan price
If the system finds a price for the activity type, this price is used for valuating the internal activities. If no price was calculated for the previous period, the plan price from the previous period is used to valuate the activity type.
If the system cannot find a plan price for the previous period, it looks for a future plan price, using the next price in the posting period to valuate the internal activities. For example, if plan prices have been entered for periods 2 and 3, and a plan price is calculated in period 1 for period 4, the system uses the price from period 3 in accordance with the valuation strategy Most up-to-date plan price.
Again if you have not mentioned, then system will give error that "valuation stg not found".
You can use any costing variant for actual (PPP2)and planned(PPP1) according to your requirement.. check in OPL1

Actual Activity Price Calculation

Dear Gurus,
1. I have defined activity type say "Power" through KL01
2. Maintained the planned price through KP26 for the cost center which is going to use this activity type. say
    cost center is "CCTR1"
3. Now there is something as actual activity price calculation at period end
4. When i execute through KSII i get the actual price which is the debited cost elements of the "CCTR1"
    divided by the Activity Type "Power"
5. The debit balance of cost elements in "CCTR1" is Rs 10000 and activity type consumed through process
    order is 200 KWH, hence the Actual price comes to Rs 50 Rs/KWH. While the planned price in KP26 is
    Rs 6/KWH
How logical is this....
With Regards,
Amit

Hi Amit,
Let me give some insight into the Activity price calculation and cost obsorption from Cost Center to Prodcution
1. Normally we incur the production cost through FI like Direct Labor, Power, Indirect Labour and other indirectct production overheads
2. This cost is posted to Production Cost Centers
3. Now this cost need to be obsorbed to product cost using either Activity costing through Routing or Overhead costing using costing sheet.
Since you question is for Activity costing, let us focus only on activity price and absorption to Product Cost
1. All the direct cost that can be tracked with certain reasonability with activity types can be absorbed through activity costing to product costing
2. Now in your case, take for example - the industry you are working is power intensive, then we can track the consumption of Power using activity costing
3. At the first instance, you need to forcast the activity quantities for the month (based on the production planning)
4. Based on this, you forecast the cost that would be incurred for the expected output
5. Calculate planned Acvitiy Unit price and update it in KP26. The updation can be manual or automatic (using Cost Splitting and Price Calculation in case of Activity independant cost planning)
6. For all the activity confirations to the production/process order, the cost obsorption will take place based on the planned price
Actual
7. The cost of the power will be booked in FI and posted to Production Cost Center for the month.
8. The actual Activity quantity will be booked from Production confirmation for the month
9. At the end of the month, you need to do the actual price calculation. This calculation will be based on the TOTAL COST BOOKED FOR THE MONTH TOWARDS POWER FOR THAT COST CENTER DEVIDED BY TOTAL QUANTITY CONSUMPTION RECORDED IN THE COST CENTER
10. Once this is done, You can revaluate the activity quanitities booked on each of the production order.
This is how the activity cost aborption will take place in product costing
Please let me know if you need further details in this regard

Wrong actual price calculation

Dear Sap Experts
I'm running KSS2 to split costs into cost centers and getting a value of $ 12.461,66.
Volume of activities is 83,94, according S_ALR_87013611 and KSII.
Thing is that actual activity price given by the system is $ 151,56 and not $ 148,46 instead.
Some idea you could provide in order to investigate it?
Tks a lot, cheers
Patricia

Hi Sateesh,
Pls go through the following example to understand Plan Activity Price and Actual Activity Price:
For Cost Center A, you do Cost Element Planning in KP06 (Ex. Rs.1,00,000). In KP26, you do the planned Activity Quantity (100 Hrs) - you will not update any price in KP26 screen usually . Now, to calculate the Planned Activity Price, you use the transaction code KSPI. The gives the result of Planned Activity Price of Rs.1000 per Hr.
Now, when you confirm the activities in Production Order in CO11n, the activity cost on the Production Order is updated with the Planned Price of Rs.1000. So, by the end of the period, if total actual hrs confirmed is 60 Hrs. ie., total cost loaded onto Production Orders is Rs.60,000.
Now, think of the actual cost that is booked to the Cost Center A (either through FI postings or distribution / assessment from other cost centers). If the actual cost that was posted to that cost center is only Rs.84,000. (Where as Planned Cost was Rs.1,00,000).
Now, when you run KSII transaction code for actual activity price calculation, the system will calculate the actual activity price by 84,000 / 60 Hrs =1,333.33.
This is the way how the system clearly shows and takes care of Under-Absorption / Over-Absorption in cost centers.
Then you run the transaction code MFN1 / CON2 to revaluate your Production Orders with the Actual Price of Activity.
After alll these steps only, you need to settle the Production Orders.
If you settle Production Orders before revaluating with Actual Activity Price, then again there will be some loaded on to Production Orders, so, you have to do the settlement again.
Hope my explanation is clear...
cheers....

Cost splitting and Actual price calculation

Dear all,
What is the difference between cost splitting and actual price calculation?
Thanks & Regards,
Ar

Hi,
KSS2 (splitting) is fixed cost splitting based on defined splitting rules. Fix cost splitting means, although the cost are activity unindependent (=FIX) they are splitted to each actual activity unit,... (based on the splitting rule you use)
This is/can be a prerequisite for calculating actual activity rates, which is done by KSII (actual price calculation).
best regards, Christian
