Booking on incorrect activity type

Hi,
If you book an incorrect activity type on a network and then update in CATS you get an error message. If you then change the activity type and update again there is no error message. You can then change the activity type back to the incorrect one and save.
Does anyone know if it's somehow possible to make this way of incorrect booking not possible?

You need to implemenyt User exit to check the correct combination of activity

Timesheet Booking - Master record for CC and Activity Type

Hi All,
We have maintained the Personnel number HR Master Data for Info Type = 315 as follows:
Period: Start 01.02.2010 to 31.12.9999
Sender Cost Center: 101067106
Activity Type: 007000
Period: Start 01.05.2009 to 31.01.2010
Sender Cost Center: 101067101
Activity Type: 006240
I am trying to book/edit the time for Week 04.2010 [Data Entry Period 25.01.2010 - 31.01.2010] in CAT2 Transaction Code then getting an error message as-
u201CCreate a master record for 101067106/007000u201D
Message no. KL001
Also Price Planning is not yet done for new/latest combination of CC and Activity Type i.e. Period: Start 01.02.2010 to 31.12.9999
I think system is picking up latest/current Cost Center and Activity Type in an error message and not according to Data entry Period entered CC and Activity type in CAT2.
Also one thing we have observed that in CAT2 Transaction Code CC filed is showing current Period cost Center only for all Period.
Is it standard behaviour from Logic point of view.?
Please suggest the solution regarding the above mentioned situation.
Many Thanks in advance.

note that
When are default values used from the employee master record?
The default values are only used for new CATS records, not for changing,
not for copying. If you also want to use the default values changing,
not for copying. If you also want to use the default values from the
employee master record when changing and copying from the work list, you
can use SAP enhancement CATS0002.
The system only uses default values, if you enter a number of hours and
choose 'Return'.
The cost center from infotype 0001 ('Organizational Assignment') is
proposed, if in Customizing of the data entry profile, you selected the
'Master cost center' field in the 'Default values' area.
The system proposes the cost center and the activity type from infotype
0315 ('Time Sheet Defaults'), if in Customizing of the data entry
profile you selected the 'Cost center' field (or the 'Activity type'
field).
If you have chosen both fields, the cost center from infotype 0315 has
priority, if you have defined it for the corresponding period.
read the note 333884 it explains that only creating new values the data from 0315 defaults

Hi,
Use T.code KP26.
Here enter the version as '0' & then enter the activity type, cost center & then click the overview icon in the top.
A new screen will appear, here you can enter the fixed/vairable price.
This activity type is to be assigned in the work center (T.code cr02), costing tab.
Hope this helps, pl. reward.

Confirmation of activity type in Process order -Impact in FI.

Dear All,
On doing a confirmation of a activity type for a process/ Production order - values get posted to secondary cost element which has been assigned to a acitivity type. This means only a impact in controlling but not in FI
How woould the booking happens in FI ?is it not required to book in FI, if yes, why.
Please suggest.
Thanks.

Hi Daya
1. You can calculate activity price for plan in KSPI and for actual KSII for respective CCtr and activity type...but some times people manually update price at KP26 directly which in my opinion is not right way because price is either more or less than the real calculation in KSPI and KSII...
2. However in your case price is directly updated in KP26 against activity type..when confirmation is done in order this rate * activity qty is your value posted in order level and at the same time respective CCtr is also credited by this amount which you can see in CCtr report
   Example: CCtr XXXX01
                   Activity type 999999
                   Sec cost Element for activity type 999999 (43 cat)
    Suppose you have booked FI entries for some expenses like Salary in F-02/FB50...against CCtr XXXX01   So your CCtr XXXX01 is debited by Salary amount and this amount will be absorbed in product through activity for which you need activity price and confirmation.
    FI entry is booked your expense in GL a/c Salary and same time debited your CCtr through CE salary....Now when you charging this expense in product through prod order you are doing it through confirmation of activity qty which in turn calculating value by taking price from KP26 and qty from confirmation.

Multiple Activity Types with one Production Cost Centers

Dear Experts,
I have One Cost Center 2 Activity typesu2026I can plan in kp06 in single shot thatu2026
1Ctr-1ActvtyRs.100 and 1Ctr-2Actvty----Rs.200u2026.(Same Cost Elements)
Here my confusion is while doing actual posting we can post cost element to Cost Center i.e.Rs.300 to 1Ctr.
Here how I can map that 100 belongs to 1Activity and Rs.200 belongs to 2Activity because there is only cost center.
I know that solution is simple we can maintain separate cost center for both activity types i.e 1 to 1 mapping of cost center to Activityu2026So Actual posting weu2019ll be fineu2026.
Then what is use of Kp26 to maintain 1 cost center to multiple activity types?
Kindlyu2026..Clear my problemu2026
Regards,
Balaji Bhonsle.

Hi Balaji
You have pointed out a valid concern.. There is a solution to it as well, however, very cumbersome and less practical
In OKKP - You allow some control indicators i.e. CCA, IO, PCA, COPA, etc.. Here, you need to allow Activity Type as Addiitional Account Assignment Object.... (This is below Cost Center Accounting)
While booking expenses from FI, you can specify the Act TYpe along with the cost center... Provided you have that much patience and it is identifiable....
Also, you can assign act type in Asset MAster so that while posting depreciation in AFAB, the same gets assigned to Act Type

CO substitution for sender activity type

Is it possible to substitute the sender activity type during a KB21N activity allocation? I attempted to do this at the line item level (callup point 1) by changing field COBL-LSTAR but the substitution was not reflected in the controlling document. I later found note 392273 which states that this isn't possible at the line item level... "In activity allocation (KB21, KB21N) or in the reposting of an activity allocation (KB65), the system prevents a substitution of the sender."
Is there another way to substitute the sender activity type?
Thanks

Hi,
For booking of time sheet through CATS, it requires mandatory fields.
Cost center
Activity type
CO object(internal order, n/w or activity, WBS, SO, Cost center)
For booking the time sheet through CATS:-
- rates should be maintained in cost center w.r.t activity type.
- personnel number with the responsible cost center.
- data entry profile.
Also whenever we are booking the time sheet, we are booking the hours against some of the activity performed in business such as project management, erection, commisioning etc. So that we can check the cost on the project related to various business activity.
Thanks & regards,

CATS billing thru PS | internal Order, WBS, Activity Type

Hi,
I am a HCM consultant, therefore I have zero knowledge in PS/SD.
Currently I am working on a task, where I need to create the bill on the CATS data (Time Sheet Data: HCM). I want to know how the CATS data is transferred to WBS, and how the billing of the same is done in PS the WBS element and Activity Type. I ll be transfering the time data to Internal Order (I dont know how to assign these internal orders to WBS elements) and in Activity type I ll be storing the rates of the activities/tasks. Now on the basis of these Internal type, WBS and Activity type, How can I generate a bill in PS? (We are inactivate in SD module).
A more clear explanation would be better as said, am new to PS..
regards
Tahir

HI Tahir,
wbs and internal order is the object where we can book time via time sheet so clear here when you are booking time in CAT2 transaction then time sheet ask it's receiver object that would be either wbs nor I/O. once you have done this activity, then need to transfer it to object area like PS CS CO HR PayRoll
such transaction path is below in CATS
CAT2
Time Sheet: Maintain Times
CAT2_ISCR
CATS: Maintain Times (Init. Screen)
CAT3
Time Sheet: Display Times
CAT3_ISCR
CATS: Display Times (Initial Screen)
CAT4
CATS: Approve Data
CAT5
Data Transfer CATS -> PS
CAT6
Transfer External -> Time Management
CAT7
CATS: Transfer Data to CO
CAT8
Time Sheet: Document Display
CAT9
Data Transfer CATS -> PM/CS
i m telling you in PS area next take help from SD guys

Standard report for Activity types in REM scenario.

Hi PP Gurus,
Is there any standard report like MCRP, MCP6, MF12 in REM scenario to capture time booked for Activity types? Please revert.
Thanks & Regards,
Abu Arbab

Hi R. Brahmankar,
Thanks for your prompt reply. We need to track Activity types booked in terms of quantity. We checked all the transaction code that you suggested.
The track of Activity type is also possible in standard SAP system provided we do Separated Backflush only.
T-code- MF12:
Field Name- Production Activities:*
Production activity posting in worklist
If you select this indicator, the system only displays the document logs for which production activities still have to be posted.
The selected documents provide you with a worklist which you process using the separate backflush transaction.
Thanks & Regards,
Abu Arbab

Resource - cost center - activity type

Hello,
I can see the link Resource - Cost center (in the resource master data)
I can see the link Activity type - cost element
I can see where the activity type's planned cost is done, for such or such cost center
I cannot see the relationship Resource - Activity type
isn't there any direct link or is it only an indirect link, through the cost center
Thanks for your help

I need to post 2 diferent type of costs to 2 different accounts (cost elements) my question is what impact is if I mantain in one resource with cost center 1000 2 activity types, one is also linked to CC 1000 but the 2nd is linked to CC 2000
In the costing tab at the Resource there is a field for the cost center so my question is what are de implication with this cost center and the link between the activity types and the cost centers
you can maintain 2 cost element for two activity.
But you can't combine two cc in one resource
then you need to create two resource, one with cc 1000 and other with cc 2000,
the second question is, I have to maintain these 2 different cost at the time of confirmation, Is it correct that I mantain the cost of an HOUR in KP26 so when the confirmation happens I just have to say in COR6N that 15 hours were used so based on rate given in KP26 system will calculate and allocate that cost properly, Is this how it works?
as per the formula in OP54, assigned in resource with respect to activity.
at the time of actual booking, system will calculate the actual cost of the activity ( as per the formula maintained in resource)
Also I want to ask if like the activity described before I can have 2 of these attached to the same work center and same phase? I know I can have up to six per Resource but how is the confirmation done, in one step at COR6N you give the 6 parameters to each of the activities or you have to go one by one and saving in this transaction??
In resource for each activity ( parameter) you need to assign formula and activity type, while creating process, system will copy all the parameter and formula in process order, while booking in cor6n system will copy all the parameter.

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.

Authorization need in Sales Activity Type

An Account(Customer) moved to discarded (Sales Activity Type), can be brought back to Active, but only thr' Authorization of GM.
How we can do it?
This all about Real Estate - Where Sales Activity Type is Created. Sales Activity Types Can be -- New, Hot, Negotiation, Pending Brochure, Discard, Pending Decision, Sales Completed....etc
There is Authorization for Partner Function in Sales Activity - For Change or Display Sales Activity. But it doesn't solve the problem.
Client needs Authorization, by which anybody can be able to change the customer's Discard Activity Type (If he turns back, to buy the Villa again) to Other Type.

There is an OSS [Note 818276 - Sales activity change: incorrect language for messages|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/818276] that may help you to solve your problem.

Difference between Activity Types & SKFs

Hi SAP Gurus,
Could someone tell me the difference between Activity Types & Statistical Key Figures (with examples).
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sangeeta

Dear all,
Please let me rephrase/extend a bit what was stated so far:
Statistical key figures can be also understood as properties/attributes of a cost center being an "object": area, number of cars, headcount,... They can be used for descriptive/statistical purposes but mostly they act as indexes in cost center allocations. For example, an invoice for energy consumption is booked on one "collective" cost center and then alocated to other CCs e.g. by number of employees.
Activity types are used to valuate typical cost center activities. Amongst other purposes, they are used for direct activity allocations to PP orders where indirect overheads are not suitable. Another purpose is to reallocate internal activities between cost centers to avoid intracompany invoicing. As example, Engineering supports sales dept. with some special drawings. This activity is valuated per hour and used to debit the receiving CC via TC KB21N.
Result of both SKF and AT postings is in crediting the sender -> cost center over/underabsorption.
Kindly check also http://scn.sap.com/thread/1067453 and http://www.erpgreat.com/financial/what-is-activity-type-and-statistical-key-figure.htm

Revaluation of Activity type is not getting updated in Production Order

Hi,
I have run KSII , for actual activity price calculation. After this , the revalution of production orders was done.
But I am not finding any entry in Production order with a value of variance between Actual Price and Plan Price of the Activity type.
It sould come in the production order.
What can be the reason?
In OKEQ, for the Version '0' and the fiscal year, Revaluation has the entry ' 1.Own Business Transaction'. I hope this is correct.
But still the revalaution line item is not showing in Production Order.
Please help.
regards
Kamlesh

Hi Paolo,
Yes, MFN1 ran perfectly and I am also able to see the details in the screen.
My concern is, this revaluation should also have affect on Production order, thats what not happening.
Or let me know where can I see the affect of revaluation on Production orders.

Kami
