Control to not posts costs during activity confirmation

Hi PS gurus
Is there a way in config to prevent costs to be booked while confirming an activty through CJ20n transaction
i want the costs to be booked only through CATS and not through any other transaction
Is it possible. I couldnt find any config to control this???
Amit

Yes definately. Planned cost will be zero for that activity. For tracking plannined cost he has to do manual plannning inn WBS Elemetns or in some other exteranl activity where material planning filed.
I do have some other ideas. Fundamnetally not complementing each other so I have not sahred here. Just sharing someone can check. As CATS and manual confirmation CJ20n both are confirmation so both will not work out, but stilll some doubt for option 1 in my mind.
1. In activity set cotrol key confirmation not possbile and see how system behaves while doing confimration from CJ20n and CATS
2. Remove Costing tick from control key and check how system behaves in CATS perticularly

Cost plannig & Activity Confirmation

Hi Experts,
I want to do the cost planing at activity level so for this i have create one sub activity with selecting of control key PS03 which having select indicator Gen. Cost ACt. to allowed to doing cost planning. But I am doing confirmation on main activity level hense when i have seen the report in CNE5 result get display like Cost planning i can see at Subactivity level & confirm progress i can see at main activity level.
So is it possible to do it at main activity level. (Cost planning & Progress Confirmation)
Best Regards,
Vishal

I think you want to update the progress and actual cost of sub-activity to main activity like a parent child relationship between the sub-activity and main activity.
It is not possible to update the progress and the cost of sub-activity to main activity be cuase it is not parent-child relationship between those. This is the one requirement coming from many customers even where I have worked, unfortunately it is not sub-activity of main activity but activity element.

Controlling Document not posted upon GRS of PO with account assignt type A

My company is going to upgrade our SAP ERP system from version 4.6C to ECC5.
In version 4.6C, when a Purchase Order (PO) is created and assigned to:
(1) project wbs element
(2) asset
Upon GRS, the following accounting documents are normally posted:
(1) Accounting document
(2) Profit center doc.
(3) Spec. purpose ledger
(4) Asset transaction
(5) Cost accounting doc.
Following, if I want to view the Actual Cost line items posted for the project wbs element in mind, I am able to view the details via transaction CJ74.
However, in ECC5, simulating the same scenario as described earlier, i.e. a Purchase Order (PO) is created and assigned to:
(1) project wbs element
(2) asset
Upon GRS, the following accounting document is NOT posted:
(1)Cost accounting doc.
(which in ECC5 is termed Controlling Document)
As a result, I am unable to track the Actual Cost line item of the wbs element via transaction CJ74.
This is because in normal instances, a corresponding CO document posted for the FI document posted upon GRS. What I understand is that CJ74, pulls data from CO tables and because CO tables aren't updated, I can't view this statistical cost postings.
I would appreciate if anyone could advise the following:
(1) Why this occurs in ECC5
(2) How to rectify the problem
Thank you.

Auto GR not posting in CO12 Mass Confirmation Screen

Dear All,
I m using Auto GR control Key PP03, But while doing mass confirmation operations are getting confirm but Auto GR is not taking place , but if I do the confirmation using CO11N auto GR is posted, please let me know the reason i want to do auto GR in CO12.
Regards
Nishj

Hi Nishj,
Please check in production order, in header there is an Total quantity & then check operation tabs there is a operation qty. in your case these two should be different. yield is your operation quantity & gr comes in goods movement tab depends upon the ratio of total & operation quantity, Operation quantity is comes different because of operation scrap , so check it, it should be in routing operation.
And also try using COGI t-code so that you can find the reason for that OK.
I hope it helps you any questions please revert me back.

Cost Element Error during Activity Confirmation

Hi,
We are using assembly processing to create projects. After project is created, a requirement arises and we manually assign few internal activities in CJ20N. When we do like that, a cost element gets picked automatically in the cost element field of External TAB along with Purchase Org & purchase group though it is an internal activity. This doesnt happen in already created activities during automatic creation.
We don't need the system to bring these values for cost element, purchase org. & group. We are not using this cost element anywhere. In network profile cost element field is blank.
So whenever we confirm the activity it throws an error message. CK197, G/L account for company code / costelement does not exist.
Kindly advice.
Regards,
Rahul

Hi, Rahul,
Have your system is gone for any recent upgrade for EHP4 ?
This error is due to EHP4 please implement following said notes
1285728, 1277967.
And after that remove the cost element from activities present in external tab which are created before not implementation which are giving error.
revert after resolving the issue.

Process order variance calculation not taking the GI+Activity confirmation Cost

Hi,
Process oder was settled in the Month of June,2014. Accounting document was generated,but system only considered the GR cost. System was not considered the GI as well as activity cost on variance calculation. Variance posted GR= Variance.
22nd June,2014 Variance calculated, on 30th WIP entery also reversed with the same amount.
1st July,Order done untecho and no transactions are posted in the Month of July.
Now they would like to settle the Process in the Month of July. system is throwing the error " Status DLV/TECHO reversed after settlement period 006.2014"
Order status was TECO PRT CNF PRC CSER BASC BCRQ CRF No variance calculation status.
Any one faced any similar issue , please suggest me how to proceed.

Hi,
Please check SAP Note 386816 for error KV181.
In general it is recommended to use the Cost estimate of the Process Order (Planned Cost Estimate) for the WIP at target calculation. In additional please pay attention to SAP Note 386816 which explains this procedure and which prerequisites must be met to calculate WIP at targets or the scrap variance. Even if the group counter of the routing is different you can still calculate WIP at targets but only if the message type of message KV181 is set to SPACE by Customizing settings.
Hope this will a bit help to you.
Best regards, Takashi

How to post back for activity confirmation

Dear QM guru here,

but i would like to post back to the previous. so can we config to change this screen to show date that allow to change during confirmation.
Thank you in advance.
Konnapa

hi,
Yes u may change the screen content but for that u need the screen no. and u may also take the help of an ABAPr, for screen modifications. and if u want back date posting than use user exit QLCO0002 for this.
or if u simply want the proposed dates or confirmation dates (Previous) than u need to check ur config. -

Automatic Material Issue on Activity Confirmation

Dear All,
I am trying to setup the system so that on internal activity confirmation material assigned to the activity is automatically Issued to the WBS.
Issue:
BS, but when i confirm the activity system does not issue the material automatically when stock is available as unrestricted stock in the correspondign WBS.
When there is stock available in the Storage location mentioned in CJ20N for the material automatic GI happens on activity confirmation.
Can you please let me know why is system not issuing the material available as unrestricted stock on the corresponding WBS??
Warm Regards,
Jatinder

Dear Gokul, Srikant,
Fine i can use CN25 for confirmation.
Requirement is that i want to track stock on WBS level, and then issue it to Network/Activity from WBS stock? is this not possible via activity confirmation??
Is it that if i want to automatically post GI on activity confirmation, it is not possible from Project/WBS stock?
Warm Regards,
Jatinder

Quantity not posted to object error in while activity confirmation

Hello All,
i am getting below error while activity confirmation , please help me on this below.
Note : Activity and cost center and KP26 no changes are made compare to preview year and current year , for the fiscal year 2014 i didn't get any error , only for the fiscal year 2015 i getting below error.

Dear Hari,
If the activity type of the confirmation has set the flags as
mentioned (indicator MANIST in table COKL is set) the system will simply
NOT post any quantity on the sender cost center/activity type during
the confirmation.
So all quantities which are currently missing (as these were not
updated by the confirmation) must be posted with transaction KB51N.
If you implement the coding corrections of #760437 you have the
possibility to change the message BK263 from "I" to "A" in transaction -
which is however not recommended.
So the advised procedure is:
-post all mising quantities with transaction KB51N first
-then run the report ZRKMANIST_RESET to remove the flag MANIST (which is
the reason why the confirmations did not post quantities on the
sender cost centers)
After this procedure, the quantities will again be updated when you
post confirmations.
Best regards,
Jason

Activity can not post when do confirmation

Dear Gurus!
I have an issue now, when I do confirmation for production order. But some order can post actvity(in CO03 -> Cost analisys -> Activity actual) but some can not.
Do I miss any steps? I use BAPI to create comfirmation.
Regards,
Tony

It is hard to guess some reason, you should carry out some comparative study between the production orders that are displaying this different behaviour. There are many factors to be considered....
1) The production orders are for the same material or different materials? If different, then check routings....
2) Use the same work centers or activity types....
3) Belongs to the same cost center ?
4) the operation is really confirmed but no values for activities ( chack if the problem is quantity , i.e. hours, or currency, based on the price od each activity type)
5) Check prices for activities in KP27....
and so on...

Actual Cost not updating to Network Activity from CATS

Dear All,
Am back here for the expert suggestions / guidance.
I am facing issue with respect to system not updating the actual cost in network activity / projects posted through time sheet i.e. CATS. I have planned my resource cost through work centre assigned with activity type, formula and cost centre. I have kept the employee master data in place with maintaining the 315 infotype. In CAT2 i am posting the respective time sheet on the particular network activity and am transferring the cost into projects by CAT5, the plan cost is getting updated but actuals are not hitting the projects.
Kindly do the needful and suggest me if am missing something out of the track
Thanks
Praveen Mohanachary

HI Gokul,
There wasn't any error during confirmation and i have also checked in CN30 as well as COFC transaction. It is posting the time and the activity is getting the PCNF status set but there isn't any actuals posted. I used CATA for some activity and also used CAT5 for certain activity both are not posting actuals on projects.
Thanks

FI documents effect when controlling was not activated

Hi Experts,
I have one issue regarding when the controlling was not activated.
I posted some FI documents relating expenses etc. that time contrllong module was not configured. Now controlling was configured. Can i show that expense documents effect in controlling which are posted in FI previously.
Thanks and Regards
Balu

Hi,
If the controlling Module is activated subsequently, the earlier will not get updated automatically. System will not be able to identify to which cost center the document should get updated.
Probably, some custom program needs to be used to update the Cost Centers for the earlier documents.
Thanks
Murali.

Change of bin not possible during TO confirmation

Hi all.
I am trying to change the destination storage bin during transfer between bins (WM movement 309).
The strategy is fix bin (maintained in material master), so the TO is created with fix destination bin and operator must change it before confirmation.
For example, in GR it is possible to change destination bin during confirmation in transaction LT12 but not for transfer. The receiving storage type is the same in both cases. Is there any customizing missing?
Apart from this, is there any way to confirm items separately inside a TO? For example, during GR I try to confirm a TO in transaction LT11 for just one item and waiting for the rest to be placed physically in order to confirm all the TO but destination bin can not be modified in LT11. Is there any way to confirm item per item but allowing changing destination bin? it is possible to do it in LT12 but not in LT11.
Many thanks in advanced and best regards.

Hi,
Generally, it is possible to change the destination bin during TO confirmation. However, this is not possible under the following conditions:
o With dynamic coordinates
o If the destination bin location is specified in the movement type
o For posting change transfer orders
o For the physical inventory using a putaway
o For the addition to existing stock for storage units
o For the transaction Confirm Single Item (transaction LT11)
o If a bulk storage type is involved in the stock movement
o In the event of an individual putaway strategy
o If the first item of a TO with storage units is already confirmed
   since all the other items of the storage unit relate to the same
   storage bin. When you save the first TO item, the system changes
   the destination storage bin for all dependent items.
o If this is a replenishment transfer requirement for a fixed
   storage bin.
Please see SAP Note number 443916 for an explanation.
Thank you.

Controlling Document Not Getting Posted

Dear All,
We have a peculiar scenario of Controlling Document not getting posted. Any pointers on wat could be the issue will be highly helpful.
Scenario:
We have an interface which posts an accounting document.
Dr. Expense
Cr. Balance Sheet.
The Cost Center is supplied thru the interface and FI document and Profit Center Document is posted without any issues. However, CO document is not generated, not sure wat could be the issue. We have performed the basic checks. Also, for the same expense account, we observe some postings have gone into CO where are some didnt'. The difference between documents posted with corresponding CO and documents without corrsponding CO posting is only the "Transaction Key". When we maintain blank Transaction key.. the system posts CO document, when transaction key is "WRX" for that specific GL the system doesn't post.
Not sure why Standard SAP behaves like that. Please advice wat items i need to check to resolve
this.
regards
Diwakar
