Cost element/activity type planning upload

Hi,
When doing the cost element/activity type planning upload via KP06, can I assign only one characteristic in the element definition level? Because I want to put in the excel upload layout the cost elements, cost centers and activity types. But ECC 6.0 is allowing only one characteristic in the element definition level. Has anyone encountered this problem?
Thanks and best regards,
Thess

Hello,
This is controlled by planning are in your planning profile. You need to use "Cost ctrs: Cost element/activity inputs" planning area for this purpose.
Hope you are conversant with Integrated excel upload.
To do integrated excel upload of cost center plan data.
IMG ==> Controlling ==> Cost Center Accounting ==> Planning ==> Manual Planning User Defined Layouts - Create your own layout or copy from standard layout and change it.
IMG ==> Controlling ==> Cost Center Accounting ==> Planning ==> Define User Defined Planner Profiles
Copy the SAPALL to ZSAPALL. You cannot change SAPALL as it is standard.
In ZSAPALL planner profile, select proper planning area and enter your layout.
Tick Integrate Excel.
Once the popup for KP06 comes, you need enter the data and save it. It would generate the file name.
With the same file name you need upload the plan data by using KP06.
In KP06
Extras ==> Excel Planning ==> Upload
Select the file as prepared in accordance with format at the time of generating the file name.
Hope this solves your problem.
Please let me know if you need futher help.
Regards,
Ravi

o   OBJECT_INDEX - Index uniquely identifying the row and thus the
    object. The index must be greater than zero and may only appear once
    in the table. If the index does not exist in INDEXSTRUCTURE, the row
    is ignored.
o   COSTCENTER    - Cost center that includes the activity.
o   ACTTYPE       - Activity type that includes the activity. You must
    fill this together with COSTCENTER. You only need it for an activity
    input that is activity-dependent.
o   CO_BUSPROC - Business process that includes the activity.
o   ORDERID       - Order that includes the activity.
o   WBS_ELEMENT - WBS element that includes the activity
You may fill one object only,for example COSTCENTER, CO_BUSPROC,
ORDERID, or WBS_ELEMENT.

Activity Type Planning, Cost Center Planning

Hi Friends,
I am learning SAP Controlling. I have few doubts.
1. Activity Type planning (or) Activity Dependent Planning (Cost Center +Activity
type) both are same.
2. Cost Center Planning (or) Activity Independent Planning (Cost Center + Cost
Element +Activity type) both are same.
Thanks,
Rams.N

Activity Planning and Cost planning are different. The first in quantity planning, while Cost planning is Dollar Planning.
While planning cost ($), you can mention, if such cost is activity dependent or not.
The purpose is to derive an actitivity price. This is derived by dividing, the cost by the activity quantity. If a cost center has more than one activity, then the cost need to be associated with the activity. This is where we require to identify, if a cost is activity dependent or not. When you mark a cost as an activity dependent, that cost is fully cosidered while deriving the associated activity price.
The activity independent cost are split amongst activities to derive the price for each activity. This step is done before the activity prices are computed.

Other tips could be found in sapnote 1770587 and sapnote 380282.
I hope this help to solve the issue.

Master record for cost center/activity type

Hi all;
How create a master record between an cost center and activity type?
Thank you

Hi
You can create master data between cost center / activity type.
You can link the two by planning for activity qty the combination of a cost center / activity type in KP26. Then you do a detailed planning for costs for the cost center / activity type / cost element in KP06.
I hope it is clear..

Hello Ravi,
I repeatedly used the following programms Ajay might refer to.
First guess: xx29 might help.
"Best practice?": I would not call it best practice. At least it is SAP-reports and not
customer-specific reports.
I hope it helps.
With kind regards

also

Activity type LABOR not planned on any of the cost centers used here
Message no. K8103
when I check activity type setting, it is: activity type category:1, price indicator:1
how can I change activity type and cost center to allow kp06 posting

Hello
You have to enter the plan against the cost element in KP06.
Check if the activities are assigned to work centers and work centers are mapped to cost centers. Also in the activity master You allow the cost center category in which the cost center C231000 is created. You may enter * in the field CCtr. category.

Inform your CO colleague to do the same. It is not a PP activity to upload rates.
But if you're the CO person & want to know how to do it, then do a search in CO forum, there will be quite many threads on it.

Routings and activity types planning

hi,
can any body explain how we will fix values for acitivities like set up time, processing time etc.. in the routings. whether the cost center-activity price planning fixed first or standard values for activities would be fixed first.
thanks in advance
Robert

Rob
if you have the workcenter with the activities defined in teh costing view it means that you have carried out the price planing for the activities for the Cost center within a controlling area. after that while creating the operations in routing you can see activities defaulting in operation details.
So do carryout KP26 first and then go for routing.
Hope this helps

PS: planned costs by activity type

Hi experts,
I have a problem about an activity type.
I have created an activity type and planned it on a cost center. This activity type is inserted in a work center with standard formala key "SAP003".
I insert my activity type in an internal processing of WBE and I calculate costs for this internal processing.
When I see the cost report of internal processing, the system returns this message: "No costs were calculated for the activity".
Why? Is it correct?
Thank you
Nicola

Hi Ashish Jain,
I have planned activity type/price with the transaction KP26, but the system doesn't return any value in planned costs of WBE.
Why?
Thanks
Nicola

Actual activity price does not exist for cost center / activity type

Hi,
We are trying to upload the time sheet related data(number of hours an employee workred on a project) ect from Non SAP to SAP.
We have used a customized program and have loaded the data from se38.
All this HR data will be saved in CAT2
Later we transfer the time related data into SAP FI/CO using CAT7.
+When tested with a couple of employees time sheets, they got uploaded in SE38 proerly and when transfered it through CAT7 it was properly taking the hour*rate is cost and was reflecting in the respective cost element.
For a few time sheets in SE38 we were getting an error saying that the cost center(100501)/ activity type(EAT001) does not exist for 2010.
Hence we have taken, FY 2010, the cost centes and activity types in KP26 and have given the planned Activity as 1. No planned cost in KP06.
We have run the price calculation forr the FY 2010.
Then we were able to uplaod the time sheets, but when we tried to transfer the data through CAT7, it throws an error saying no activity price exist for cost center 100501/ activity type EAT001. If I ignore the warning an proceed, no amount is being calculated.
When uploaded employee time sheets before, all the cost were getting claculated and were entering into the respective cost elements, but now no amounts are being calculated and it is taking Zero.
When checked the previous years data i.e, 2009 all amounts are fine, in KSII I can see the activity quantity filled with some numbers in 2009, where from are they comming? I have checked KBk6 nothing was mentioned.
PLease assit
Regards,
shilpa

Hi
I never used CAT* though, but the error means that you need to maintain a activity price in KBK6 (Actual price)
