Confirmation of PM activity types in Plant Maintenance or Controlling

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if there is a possibility to Confirm activity types of PM workers on PM orders? Which transaction is used for this?
I would like to settle indirect costs of PM Cost center to PM orders. The tracing factor in this case would be the PM activity types confirmed by the PM workers.
However, I don't know the PM module and I don't know whether it's possible to confirm activity types using some PM T-code?
Should I use for this purpose KB21N (enter direct activity allocation) in Controlling, or is confirmation done somewhere in PM module?
Best wishes,
Karol

Hi,
You are right...
Confirmation of the activites are always done thorugh PM module transaction only... if i am not worng T.code IW41.. any how check the t.code otherwise consult to your PM consultant
Only very rarely KB21N is used to rectify or to add some xtra cost
In day to day lifr the confirmation is done by PM department not by costing department.
As suraj written for planning activity you use KP26.
Yah..for allocating the indirect cost to PM order where the basis of allocatio is on confirmed activity cost...this is a simple case of using costing sheet in PM order... where in Base put the activity allocation cost element which you have used in activity type master data and in over head key put % and in credit put cost center which incurrs the indirect expenditure and
the costing sheet assign in the valuation variant of the order type of the PM order..
Hope i am clear to you...
IF helpful assign the points..
Cheers

Settings for costing data in order types for plant maintenance

i want to know the purpose of settings for costing data in order types for plant maintenance. do we need to do it for sure i mean are those settings mandatory to analyze the costs on work order

Yes you need to maintain those settings, as the plant maintenance orders are also considered as cost objects and in order for you to post any cost, you need to have a cost object. Unless you maintain these settings, the cost you posted cannot be settled to a cost center.
Assign points as a way to say thanks.

Origin Object Type for Plant Maintenance Orders in Profit Center Accounting

Hi,
I want to make a selection for plant maintenance orders in transaction KE5Z, report for line items in Profit Center Accounting. When checking possible input options for the selection field <b></b>Origing Object Type<b></b> the system shows value 15 for Maintenance Orders. However I discovered in our system the maintenance orders are reported as Origing Object Type 03, which is Overhead Orders according to the selection list. So I cannot distinguish between overhead orders and maintenance orders in this report.
What is the cause our maintenance orders are assigned to Origin Object Type 03 in stead of 15 and what is the customizing transaction to correct this ?

Looks like, this is no longer supported. Refer to note 168004 and 102434.
Cause and prerequisites
These functions were not programmed to meet the above requirements.
As of Release 4.0, the object type is transferred directly.
Solution
Once you have implemented the advance correction. the origin object type 'Overhead cost order' (03) is assigned irrespective of what is the SCOPE for orders.
As a result of implementing this note or as of Release 4.6B, the order category distinguishes between overhead cost orders and production orders in the origin object type. In this case, the following origin object types result (as described above in 1.):
Order category 04 to 10, 40 => 04 (production order)
All other order categories => 03 (overhead cost order)
The logic that the origin object type was set depending on the object class (as described above in 2.) is no longer supported. The object class can be evaluated separately in Reporting. -
The corrections of this note refer in Release 4.0B to the corrections from Note 102434.

Activity type field in Maintenance Order

Hi all
My client requirement is that activity type (LARNT)should me mandatory in maintenance orders to capcture the cost with out fail.
Could any body suggest me that when we need to do that?
Regards
Srinivas

Hi
Since the work center is mandatory you can make the activity type mandatory for workcenter master data record in OPFA IMG
or check in OIOPL where you can make the activity type as mandatory ,but i think it will only work once you nagivate the operation tab
or check whether user exit order at save will be useful

Making Activity Type Mandatory in Maintenance Plan

Hi PM Gurus,
Can someone please let me know how to make the field "Activity Type" and "Planner Group" mandatory (Required Entry) in Maintenance Plan at screen level.
Cheers

Hi ,
If you do not want to go for user exit then you can also get it using transcation variants via tcode SHD0 ... for IP41 /IP02/IP42/IP43 Tcodes ..
Search this forum for steps as it was discussed many times ..

Production Order confirmation/ work center activity type calcuation

Hi All,
In the parameters defined through standard value key in work center, we have defined ZZI_06 which calculates its value based on the other parameter using a formula as shown below.
change over ZZI_01     ZZI_01
startup          ZZI_02     ZZI_02
run-time        ZZI_03     ZZI_03 * ZZI_09 / ZZI_08 / ZZI_11
overheade    ZZI_06     ( ZZI_03 + ( ZZI_01 + ZZI_02 ) / 2 )
After confirmation when we checked in C014 we noticed that the overhead hours calculation ZZI_06 was always picking the planned parameter values(from the routing) and not the actual values from CO11N.
Just wondering if the reason for this is the way I defined the formula or am I missing any setting?
Ideally I am looking for value of ZZI_06 calculated from values of the ZZI_01, ZZI_02, ZZI_03 which I enter in the CO11N screen.
Thank You.

Have u run the over head calculation for your order KGI2?

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.

Plant Vs.Activity Types

Hi,
Where we can see the relationship Plant and Activity Types. I checked in KL03 but not able to see plant. I have plant "X" and plant "Y" and I have many activity types. But some activity types belongs to X and some belongs to Y. I need to update price in
KP26 for activity types and cost ceters for both the plants. ideally I have updated price for some cost centers and some activity types.. I want check those activity types belongs to Plant X or Y?
Thanks
Srinivas

Hi Srinivas,
Apart from reply by Sharda, you need to understand the logic, Activity Type is someting which is produced by cost center (e.g. a cost center may produce say consulting hours in case of consulting org, labout hours may be other example). On the other side material is always related to a specific plant, therefore the price of material is important for plant. Both activity type and plant are different, you should analyzed again with this prospective.
Hope this helps!!!

Plant Maintenance Activities

Dear Colleagues
We are relooking at the configuration in our SAP PM module. Am particularly interested in going with the best practice in allocating the correct Plant Maintenance Activity types to the correct Work Order Types for both Preventative and Unpreventative/Unscheduled maintenance. What is the conclusive list of activity types and what rule or determination can we make in the assignment of these maintenance types to the order types
Regards
Gibson

Dear,
The advantage of the PM activity types is that, it helps the maintenance department to execute the reports based on PM activity type.Because for some users it may be difficult to execute reports based on Maintenance Order type if you have several types for different plants in same company code.
And also it helps to trigger automatic "PERMIT" for the maintenance order activities if you configure the "PERMIT" system with classification controls.I mean to say is that, you may be using similar maintenance order type for different activities at shop floor.But only few of them needed "Permit" from safety or process department to execute Maintenance work.In such cases it helps engineering team to have automatic assignment of PERMIT to the maintenance order.
WE can not have bench mark for these PM activity types, as this configuration depends upon the business finally.
You may choose, as follows(This is just example for you):
Preventive Maintenance - Preventive Maintenance activity type
Calibration - Calibration maintenance activity type
Predictive - Predictive Maintenance Activity type
General Maintenance - Shut down and Oppurtunity and Insulation/Cladding and Painting etc...

Pardhu

Activity Type ENGINE not set up for cost center

Hi all,
Currently, we have set up a work center in our system, which has the following intergration:
- Controlling Area --> TECH
- Cost Center --> TECH001
- Activity Type --> ENGINE
- Plant --> PN01
- Work Center --> PL01
Based on the above, the work center PL01 has the relationship of where Activity Type ENGINE and Cost Center TECH001 are linked together, where Cost Center is tied to Controlling Area TECH.
However, when a user tried to create General Task List (Trxn IA05), under Work Center PL01 and Plant PN01, and inserted Activity Type ENGINE in Operation item. It gives the following error:
Activity Type ENGINE not set up for cost center
I have also checked KP26 that everything is setup correctly.
Please can someone shed some light on the above?
Many thanks and regards,
Patrick
PS: Full point guaranteed for helpful answer.

Hi all,
I have solved the issue by changing the Start Date of the Work Center. Now everything works well.

ACTIVITY TYPE INPRODUCTION ORDER

Can u tell me from where activity type data flows where is displayed in the second screen of production order confirmation?

Hi
Activity type are mentioned in WC costing view.
The data for activity type is stored in KP26 for a particular financial year.
This data is passed on to costing. The hourly rate is stored in this . As per the WC formula and the timing data from routing. The hours required are calculated then this is multiplied with the data available in Activity type.
