Change of activity type of operation overview through object dependency

Hi,
I am working on variant configuration project and I am using the global object dependencies (procedures) to change the BOM item quantities, Operation standatd values and activity types in super bom and super routings. When I use these dependencies BOM quantities and routing standard values are changed but activity types are not updated.
If anybody have any idea about this, how to use the dependency to update the activity type? or any prgram error / any OSS note for this?
We are working on ECC6.0.
Advanced thanks...
B Venkat

Hi Venkat,
As you may be having idea of usage of reference characteristics usage in changing the fields because you are already told that you are able to change the Qty field, same like this you need to have the reference char relevant to this field and table .
Now the activity type comes from the work center. so you need to change actvity type in work center or you have to change the workcenter ( expected workcenter should have your required activity type) by the object dependency. It's looking a bit thoghtful one. Just think in your functionality it will work.
Thanks

Update of project planning after change in activity type

Hello Experts,
we are doing manual activity input planning ( CJ40 ) via customer report per year equal to project dates.
This means if we change activity plan price ( KP26 ) in future years, we need to recalculate the planned values in project system.
If we manually change values in CJ40 after changes in KP26 the system calculates the new monetary value in background
Example: Planned on project 10 Hrs a 20€ = 200€ // change price of activity type to 30€ // Plan 1 additional hour in CJ40: Monetary value changes to 11 Hrs a30€ = 330€ and posts +1 Hr with +130€ price difference.
Is there a opinion to adjust/update the monetary value after changes in KP26 without changing plan values?
Thanks

Hi Frank,
I am not sure what kind of project cost planning you are using. Usually it is either direct WBS cost planning with CJR2 or cost roll up from Network Activities and Orders or ECP.
The system will take AType price relevant for the period. If you have 100 hours with price 20 for Year N and 50 hours with price 30 for Year N+1, the planned cost will be 2000 + 1500 = 3500.
CJ40 is the Overall Planning, but you still can select a year (as a period). In the Overall view you have no button for Activity Input, it will show up only when you select a year.

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.

Activity Type Changes in Work Center

Hi Experts,
We now want to change the activity type in a work center, and hope all the routings that have the work center being changed automatically. Currently, the existing routings can not be changed automatically. Is there a way to have all the routings changed as well?
Best Regards,
Helen

Hi,
In Costing tab next to the activity you should find a check box for Reference Indicator. If this is ticked, then the changes done in work center will be automatically read into routings.
If it is not, then you will have to manually change in routings. For individual, you can use CA02, for mass work with CEWB, working area as SAP_OPERATION

MASS activity type in router

I'm hoping someone has any ideas if CA85N can really MASS change activity types. I have been testing the transaction in our test client and have entered the material, plant, work center in the selection criteria and then in the change tab I have entered the new activity type and click the copy button.
However, the system keeps giving me errors that there isn't an activity type for standard value for setup. But I'm not changing setup, I'm trying to change labor.
I also get another error "consistency check is not successful when changing operation 0004. But for this one material I'm not changing operation 0004. I'm changing operation 0030.

Hi,
Activity Type will for a Work Center and not for the Standard Value Key. Hence when you are trying to change the activity type system will try to modify for the standard values for Setup / Operation / Labour etc. In your case I think you have not entered any activity type for the Setup, hence it is showing that error.
I suggest you to go tcode : CR02/CR03 and check in the costing tab whether you have maintained the activity type for Setup or not.
Hopw this will help you.

2.Create an activity type using T code - KL01.
3.Assign the Rates for an activity type & cost center combination using T code KP26.
4.In the input screen of T code KP26 ,enter version as 0, from period 1 and to period as 12 and the Fiscal
Year as 2008,enter the cost center, activity type click on overview screen (F5)---> enter the per hour Rate
under Fixed price and set value as 2 for distribution key and plan price indicator as 3.
5.After performing this ,while creating the work center ,this combination of activity type & cost center
should be assigned.Then while creating routing/task list this work center can assigned for performing
operations.
Check with this & revert back if you need any further help.

IW41 using HR data (cost centre and activity type)

Hi all,
Does anyone know the steps required to make IW41 determine the Cost Centre and Activity Type from the HR master?
We can change the Activity Type by user-exit CONFPM04, but not the Cost Centre.
Also posted [here|http://www.sapfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=329923].

Hi Pete,
Which cost center field are you using? SKOSTL (sender cost center) should be changeable in export structure AFRUD_EXP. It is this field that is written to the AFRU table (not KOSTL). I did a quick check through debug and it looks possible to set a value in the exit that gets written to AFRU-SKOSTL.

Activity type problem

Dear pp brother's
Here by i am confirming production order (co15) but at the time of saving
it show the msg that
A master record for C10030/STEAM exists only in 2007
it ask me to go KP26 T-code
pls help me for the same
With regards
Amit Naik

Dear,
What is the error now?
Follow the below steps,
1. Check Cost center using T code - KS02
2.Create an activity type using T code - KL01.and check KL02 (Steam)
3.Assign the Rates for an activity type & cost center combination using T code KP26.
4.In the input screen of T code KP26 ,enter version as 0, from period 1 and to period as 12 and the Fiscal
Year as 2008,enter the cost center, activity type click on overview screen (F5)---> enter the per hour Rate
Under Fixed price and set value as 2 for distribution key and plan price indicator as 3.
5.After performing this ,while creating the work center CR02 ,this combination of activity type & cost center should be assigned.Then while creating routing/task list this work center can assigned for performing operations.
EX,
If you have very limited no.of activity types you can plan manually in KP26 for new fiscal year 2009.
e.g
Version:0
From Period:1
To Period :12
Fiscal Year:2009
Cost center: 1000
Activity type :123
click on overview(F5)
enter fixed price 99.00
Hope it will help you.

Activity Type and Cost Element Assignment wrong

The cost element appearing in Transaction code KP26
( Activity type planning), should come through the master data of the activity type.
What I am observing in my system, that for the combination of the Cost center and Actvity type , in KP26 the same cost element is not appearing as per the master data of Activity type. And also the cost element filed is gray. It is happening for 2008 financial year only.
How to correct this problem?
Is there ant note to be applied.?
Kamlesh

This is normally a result of changing the CE while the Activity Type was active and in use (planned against and/or activity confirmed for some production orders).
One solution is to curtail the activity to the end of the period you are in and create a new one from the following period. Just beware that you may need to change the routings, splitting rules, etc. as well.
Cheers.

Activity types in time confirmation (IW41)

Hi,
I create an activity type and assign it to cost center with price using transaction KP26. This activity type is being included in the work center. When I create a time confirmation for the specific work center which has been used in a work order I have in the selection list of activity types in IW41 several options of activity types. How can I restrict to use only the ones I require?
What is the logic behind the selection of activity types in the time confirmation transaction?
Thanks
Ed

Dear,
It is not possible to change the activity type this with Enhancement CONFPM04 PM/SM order conf.: Customer specific input
or CONFPM01 fields are AFRUD-LEARR (activity type) and AFRUD-LOARR (wage type)

Assignment of default activity type to individual person

Hi All,
I have following scenario.
One maintenance order is created with one operation. Three persons are assigned to the same operation. All these three persons are having different per hour rate and so having different activity types.
I have mentioned all these 3 activity types in assigned workcenter.
But while executing in maintenance order I can assign only one activity type in operation tab and so the same is appearing during time confirmation as default.
I need respective activity types to be appeared by default for each of persons. How can be achived this?
Sundar

Hi,
As 3 different activity types are having 3 different per hour rate, it would better to define sub operations based on the activity type & assign the activity types separately for each sub operations.

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?
BR
Magnus

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

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

Operations and Activity type.

Summary :- A service order was created with an operations.The complete confirmation was done and 3 operations were confirmed. 1st and 2nd operation have same activity type and 3rd has different activity type. A document was created through DIP profile, but it has entry of only 2 materials.We wanted 3 materials. When checked in DIP profile, the summarization of activity type is not ticked; it means it will summarize the activity types.
Problem:- The activity types should not summarize. We do not want to use the activity summarization in DIP profile in Usage --> characteristics, as if we change that it will affect other documents using the DIP profile. Kindly suggest any other solution for this issue.
Thanks.

Hi Satish,
In Materail determination define 3 service products
and in criteria assign those three activity types to those service products so that in billing you will get three materials
try and pls let me know
if it is useful to you pls reward me with points
