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,
KK

Error saying "Enter the sender activity type also"

While trying to upload the HR details from NON SAP to SAP through SE38, an error reflects asking to enter the sender activity type.
Can any body help me.

Hi,
Please refer to the online documentation help whose link is listed below :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/c3/c6c2a40f4f11d2956400a0c930669b/content.htm
This link mentions four different data entry scenarios that can be configured for data entry profile in CATS.
if you want to have the activity transfered to HR, you have to activate this Controlling object for pers. cost assignment in your
customizing:
- Personnel Time Management
- Time Data Recording and Administration
    - Integrating Time Management with Other R/3 Applications
      - Recording Personnel Costs
        - Enter Controlling objs permitted for pers. cost assignment
here you can find in the documentation:
'In this step, you specify which Cost Allocation or Funds Management objects the personnel costs can be assigned to.
and, in addition, for account assignment to activity type:
COBL-LSTAR Activity type
   In cac1 'cost accounting variant' is set to 'Assignment of personnel costs to master cost center'. In this case, the cost center is not transferred to HR. Activity allocation is done directly from cats through the other (non-hr) components. Check for 'activity allocation' in the online documentation.
the cost assignment variant 'B' (Assignment of personal costs to sender) needs a receiving accounting object.
If there is no receiving object the cost assignment variant changes to '0'.

Want to change the cost element for a activity type (KP26)

Hi,
I want to change the Allocation cost element for an activity type in KP26. I have already changed the cost element in the activity master data in KL02. Now i want to change it in KP26. I am trying to delete the existing line item in KP26 to create the new line item with the new cost element, but system not allowing to delete the existing one. It throws the error message ""Allocations with XXXXXXX/XXXX (Cost center/Activity type) exist ; deletion not possible". Can someone please help me to change the cost element?
Regards
Dev

Hi Rao and Lalit,
Thanx for you people for helping me. i havin gone doubt here. If i am deleting the existing line in KP26 and create new line with appropriage cost element will it be cause the existing datas? I don't want to go for another activity type, because our process is a complex process exist all over the world in more than 300 company codes. So i want to use the existing activity type but want to change the allocation cost element alone. Is there any possibility to change the cost element alone?

Actual price calculation for multiple activity types

Gurus,
I am working on a scenario where we have 2 main cost centers (A & B) from which services are used in different cost centers one of which is C. C is assigned to a work center. Now for the cost center C,two activity types are defined ATA and ATB which are actually the services from cost center A and B respectively.
Now for standard cost estimate I can define planned rates for those two activities based on the cost center C. Now at the month end I want to draw the costs from A and B based on the % of the services drawn by C and then calculate the actual price for those activities, i.e. run revaluation cycle. My question is, when I would run the revaluation cycle, how am I going to differentiate the cost of each activity types based on the cost input from respective cost centers (A and B) ?
I short, with more than one activity type and more than one input cost center, is it possible to valuate the activities on actual prices?
Thanks in advance!
Snigdho

Hi Snigdho
Yes, you can!!
If I have understood your question well - What you want is that the Cost allocated to From A to C should be divided by Act type ATA and cost allocated from B to C, should be divided by ATB, at the period end... Is that what you want?
You can achieve this in SAP...
1. Create 2 separate secondary cost elements for each Act Type ATA and ATB
2. Create a Spliting structure in OKES... You would assign Secondary cost ele 1 to ATA and Sec Cost ele 2 to ATB
Assign cost center C to this splitting structure in OKEW
3. now, when you calculate Act price, you will get what you want

Automatic substitution for network activity

Hi.
I have managed a substitution for network activities. But I want this substitution automatic when saving network or all project (CJ20N). On IMG on network profile, I have not the "automatic substitution indicator" I have usually on "project profile".
Have you an idea, please ?

Your requirement is that you want the substitution automatic when saving network or all projects.
On IMG on network profile, you are not getting the "automatic substitution indicator" that is standard.
infact you network activity susstitution rule will flow to project via assignment of that network profile to project pfofile.
Please follow below steps.
1. you have to tick mark the filed 'automatic substitution indicator' in all the project profile for which you want substitution automatic when saving.
2. in that above step no. project profiles you have to use the network profile in which you have defined your substition for the activities.

Costing for activity types in CS

Dear All
Hope you all are doing well.I want to perform costing on service order based on activity type for Customer Services. These activities should be assigned to service material. How can activities assign to service materail? Currently I have configured valuation catagories , assign cost elements to value catagories, define activity types,Price planning for activity type and assign these activity types to work center.
Your immedite response is higly appreciable
Thank you,
Nomi

Dear All
Really sorry for late reply! DIP Profile helps a lot in Configuring Quotation and Billing document. What I did was
1. I create activities with the help of CO consultant and give price to the activities type.
2. Setting performed for DISPLAY OF COST in Maintenance and Service       ProcessingBasic settings for these activities.
3. Assign Cost element for these activities.
4. Assign these activities type to the work center.
5. Define Services Materials for each activity type so that they can be displayed in my quotation and billing document.
6. Assign services materials to DIP Profile as such:
u2022     Define planned cost u2013 Total Record as source.
u2022     In Material Determination for profile I assign each of my service material to Transfer cost and Quantity and assign respective cost and revenue element of that activity type to the Service material.
When I create a service order with revenue u201CSM02u201D.I do not specify service material. I assign my activities types in operations and when I calculate costing it sums up all the revenue in costing for planned costs but when I create quotation and billing document for the service order it shows individual material for each activity type and its amount on item data and total is displayed in header data against EK01 condition type moreover planned and actual cost are displayed in service order.
The problem is, I have not create any condition record nor assign these condition type to my pricing procedure as value is arising from activity type.
Which condition types can be assigned to pricing procedure so that they can pick up the value of the activity type?
Thank you

When entering the price for Activity type which is attached for this Cost Center.
Tell me know in whcih currency can I maintain the price for this activity type and what is the impact on this ?

Since the controlling area currency if EUR, the activity rates will be in EUR. In itemization you can display the cost in INR as well as EUR.

Activity type in time sheet

Hi all,
In PS we donu2019t capture any cost. In such case, While entering timesheet, the system through an error message, to enter sender Activity type and it is not allowing to enter timesheet.
Now, what should be done to skip entering activity type and enter timesheet without entering activity type?
I guess it is controlled through work center, by not maintaining costing tab, but the system does not allow to save the work center without entering the cost center under costing tab.
Please suggest, in entering time sheet without activity type
Thanks,
Chandru

Hi,
Go to --> SPRO --> Cross Application Components --> Time Sheet --> Settings for all User Interfaces --> Time Recording --> Choose Fields -->Data Entry section --> Activity types
Double click and in reference to data entry profiles we can restrict the entry for the activity type whether it is required / Display / Hide / Input.
Check and confirm whether the problem is solved

"Activity type 420 1002 2393074 in the fiscal year 2010 not valid" PM03

We have an issue with the PM03 for the year 2010. "When the scheduler tries to schedule the pm..He gets an error "Activity type 420 1002 2393074 in the fiscal year 2010 not valid" The planner will close the work order then re-open it. The error will go away, but when the work order is scheduled there is 0 hours scheduled.. This will be a big issue if there are not any hours assigned to work orders.
Can you help me?
Thanks!

Davison,
Please maintain the prices for the activity type, Cost center combination for the fiscal year 2010 using transaction KP26. The log generally disappears after you save and leave the transaction. You will see the log again only when you reschedule the order and are in the same transaction.
Also check whether "scheduling" has been activated for the PM03 control key for scheduling to be taken into consideration for the operation.You can view the same by using the drop down for the control key on the transaction.
