BAPI - Enter Indirect Acty Alloc.Reposting

Hi ABAP Gurus!
I would like to use a BAPI to create Indirect Activity Allocation Reposting (Transaction KB65).
Anyone can direct me to a BAPI or do I have to create a BDC?
Thanks!

Please see note 368972.

Activity Allocation Reposting BAPI

Hi,
I would like to run Activity Allocation Reposting using a BAPI. I could not find one in transation BAPI. Does any of you know of such a BAPI?
Thnx,
Avihay

Hi Avihay,
I believe you can use BAPI_ACC_ACTIVITY_ALLOC_POST (sorry, that's for plain posting, for reposting I'm afraid there is no BAPI, but you can call a transaction).
Regards,
Eli

Variable Costs using SKF in Indirect Activity Allocation

Hello
I am trying to use indirect activity allocations and KSPI to transfer costs from an activity in an indirect cost center to multiple direct cost centers. The Receiver tracing factor is planned SKF (i.e. number of employees). The issue I have is that when doing this allocation, the variable cost at the indirect cost center gets transferred as a fixed cost to the direct cost centers. We need to have this as a variable cost on the direct cost centers. Can anyone suggest anything or let me know if I'm doing something wrong?
Here are my sender/receivers:
Sender:
Quantities Calculated Inversely
Plan Values
Receiver tracing factor:
variable Portions
Planned SKF
No Scaling
Thank you

Hi Mark
I was able to achieve this in the past...as below
1. On the indirect Cost center - Use an activity type Catg 2 (indirect entry indirect allocation)
2. On the receiver cost centers - Use an act type Catg 4 (Instead of SKF)
3. Enter the Plan Act Qty for this Act Type on the receiver direct cost centers in KP26 and Actual Qty in KB51N
4. In cycle definition - Var Portion Type would be based on Plan Act Qty instead of SKF
5. Execute KSCB - Folllowed by KSPI.....
You can also try the above using SKF on receiver cost centers - But Act Type Catg 2 on the Sender Indirect cost center.... I guess, this is what you have done... In my opinion, this should also work...
I believe, to transfer the costs as variable - You need to plan them in KP06 as variable (i.e. Activity Dependant Planning)....
So, Plan your expenses on the indirect cost center in KP06 with reference to the Act Type Category 2

Plan Indirect Activity allocation

Hi everybody,
during the execution of Plan Indirect Activity allocation, after filling the cycle I detected the following error message:
"You are not authorized to run cycles on CC : Z910
Message no. 00368
Diagnosis
Error message of the batch input with variable text. A more precise explanation is not possible."
Any suggestion on this, please?
Thanks in advance,
Barbara

Hi Ramakrishna,
I've thought this but the strange thing is that the error message appears only for some cycles and not for all. As a matter of fact one of the cycles that I've created has been successfully executed without any problems.
Any idea about this strange system behaviour?
In the meanwhile I'll check in relation to the authorization profile.
Thanks in advance.

Problem in Indirect activity allocation ( KSCB)

Hi!
I am getting the error while executing kscb like below:
Cycle OSVIUSTES2, start date 20110301, does not include any senders.
No valid sender entries were found.
Message no. GA710
I have maintained planning for sender cost centre & activity ype (KP06).
properly given sender cost centre /activity type and receiver cost center/activity ype in cycle ( KSC7).
sender activity type category is 3 ( manual entry, indirect),, receiver activity type category is 1 ( manual entry, manual allocation).
can any one suggest where could be wrong.
regs,
ramesh

Hi!
I am explaining my scenario here:
I have done cost centre planning in KP06 for production cost centre and production activity type for example cost centre 1 & cost centre 2 and activity type 1 with some cost elements.
I have executed LTP and passed the Planned activity quantity to KP26.
Now I have some costs like energy , which I want to distribute to production cost costre using indirect activity allocation. So I have defined IAA cycle ( as you suggested using rule 3. quantity calculated inversely and sender cost centre is costcentre3 and activitytype2 ( category 2 indirect entry,indirect allocation) and receiver as cost centre 1 & 2 and activity type1 . sender values 1000 and receiving tracing factors cost centrea 85% & cost centre2 15%.
I have maintained cost centre planning for sender i.e cost centre3 & activity type2 in KP06.
Executed the IAA cycle (KSCB) with out errors.
Now exeucted KSPI, then system is picking the costs maintained for cost center 1 & 2 , it is not picking the costs which were mainttained for cost centre 3 & activity type 2.
my assumption is, once IAA is executed, system has to transfer the costs to production cost centres and then arrive activity prices.
Please suggest me where I went wrong?

Problem in indirect activity allocation to CO-PA (transaction KEG3)

Hi experts,
I am in process of testing indirect activity allocation (KEG3) to CO-PA.
Sender is cost center and activity.
Receiver - a set of characters like Co Code, Product and so.
Sender rule is Posted quantities.
Question - how is this sender quantity picked by system ...I mean the combination of cost center and activity....where to set it so that system picks the data.
I tried through confirmation to a prod order but that did not help as - in indirect activity allocation we use activities of category 2 and 3 which are not used in confirmation of prod order
Thanks,
SKD

Hi SKD ,
Can you please elaborate what logic is used for indirect activity allocation to COPA ..
Why are you transferring activities to COPA directly .. not to cost centers...whats the business logic .. and also let us know the parameters used in Indirect Activity Allocation cycle.. to answer your queries further

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.

Hi 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.
Thanks

Indirect act alloc Vs BCS Activation

Hello,
The customization documentation to BCS component assignment - Fund and Func area tells that BCS is not supported for indirect activity allocation (RKIL).
I cannot understand - "is not supported" means that this operation never works with BCS active or it works correctly just some BCS functions are not available?
Has someone used RKIL (KSC5) with Fund and Func area active in 6.0?
Thanks,

Thanks a lot, its good news for us
Have you used IAA with BCS Active? Maybe we forgot some customizing?
FMDERIVE shows that all BCS assignments are derived, the Func area in cost center master data is present, but the F6804 error message (BLANK value of Fund) comes

Modify posting period in KB65 - Internal Activity Allocation reposting

Hi Gurus,
I have lots of documents originally created in CATS.
The user who did the CAT7 transfer made a mistake and put in posting date (01.03.2010) on the selection screen of CAT7. All items have been posted on 01.03.2010 instead of the original date of the records in CATS.
When I try to repost these items in KB65 and modify the posting date to February, 2010 the system issues an error message (BK214) that the new posting period is earlier than original and it is not possible to modify.
Message BK214 can't be switched off either.
Is there any chance to bypass this? Or any other idea how to modify the posting date of these items from March to February?
Thanks,
Jeno

Try KB21n......we used to change the activity allocation through this transaction.....should work in your case
Thanks

Activity allocation reposting issue

Hi gurus,
I allocated maintenance cost to maintenance order using activity type MAINT1 ( allocation cost element MAINT1_ACT , category 43) , now I want to repost the cost to MAINT2 with a different allocation cost element MAINT2_ACT... so it should look like as below on the cost center report:
Dr. MAINT2_ACT
CR. MAINT1_ACT
I tried KB65 but it won't update the allocation cost element; I also try to create reposting cycle using KSC5, but I don't know how to add activity type and cost element field on the receiver side. Please help.

Just to reword my question, as it's a bit confusing on the initial question:
Maintenance cost has been allocated to maintenance order using activity type MAINT1 ( allocation cost element MAINT1_ACT , category 43) , but business wanted to post to a different allocation cost element. So I created a new activity type MAINT3 with new allocation cost element MAINT3_ACT, and try to use KB65 to do reposting ( see below ), but this doesn't seem to have option of updating the receiving allocation cost element, the sending and receiving cost element still pointed to MAINT1_ACT. Idealy, it should empty out the postings on MAINT1_ACT and post to MAINT3_ACT.
I also try to create reposting cycle, but don't know how to add activity type and cost element field on the receiver side. Please help if you can, thanks!!

Indirect costs allocated to specific activity type

I am trying to take costs from an indorect cost centre, and based on cost element groups, post it into a specific (production) cost centre activity type.
(I know the best way to do this is with KSCB, but the users entered thewrong master data in KP26, so it is either finding another solution, or recreate all the cost centres, with everything that that implies....)
Currently I am assessing using separate secondaries for each activity type. But because they are secondaries, I cannot get them included into specific activities via KP06 at the direct production cost centre. Alternatively I am trying to get the spliiting to link the secondary to a specific activity type, but I am not getting that working.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Distributions rather than assessment?

Now that I have actually assigned the splitting structure to the cost centre, it works a lot better....

BAPI For CA02 - Assign Component allocation for routing

Hello Gurus,
I m searching for the bapi for the component allocation in routing.
Since routing is already created my work is to assign component allocation to the operation.
i tried with the BAPI_ROUTING_CREATE and /SAPMP/BAPI_ROUTING_PROCESS
BAPI_ROUTING_CREATE can be used only to create new routing.
But the /SAPMP/BAPI_ROUTING_PROCESS is going to short dump.
So any alternate please suggest.
Please provide sample code to assign component allocation.

Please have a look at following thread:
http://scn.sap.com/thread/2084329
Also,check tcode :CWBQM

Difference between Indirect & direct activity allocation?

Hello all,
please send any information on the subject. Thanks.
Ashwini

Direct activity allocation is used when quantity is known for the work done e.g machine hours or time hours. Allocation is done via KB21n in CO.
Indirect activity allocation is used when quantity is not directly known and cost is allocated on the basis of statistical key figures e.g. number of employees.
