Cost of Activities

Hi,
In which transaction, the costs for various activities(sayy 1420,1421..) are defined?
regards,
K.Kumaran.

Dear Kumaran,
1.First the activity types will be created in KL01 with validity dates.
2.Cost centers will be created using KS01 with category F - production.
3.Activity type+cost center combination rates will be defined in KP26.
4.Then this combination can be used in the work center.

GL Accounts -- Cost element -- activities

The cost elements are linked to activities and GL accounts are mapped to cost elements. Is there any cube give us GL account mappings to cost elements that are linked to activities.
Good answers -- assured points.
REgards,
Maninder.

There are a couple of options. First you could create a multi provider and link the cost element to the GL account. Second you could create an info set and link cost element to GL account.
pls assign points to say thanks.

Fixed Cost of Activite price

I am looking for a clarification.
In activity price entry KP26, we can mention fixed price as well as variable price portions. I have planned 1000 hours for this month for full production.   In this month, we are not producing the full capacity. only 50% is done. In this context, how the system will treat the fixed portion of the activity cost ? Will it take the full fixed cost planned for 100h hours (full production capacity) or will it calculate only the 50% of capacity entry ? My doubt is eventhough full production is attained, fixed cost will have to be incurred for the full capacity.

Hi
In the 1st place - If you dont want it then you shoud use Act price based on Act and not capacity
If you want it though - then the under/over absorption amount is assessed to COPA (KEU5) in a separate value field.. It is your choice whether you want to allocate it to products or simply allocate to the company code level in COPA
If you allocate it to the company code (i.e. in Receiver chars if you specify only comp code as the receiver and no products) - then your KE30 reports would look like
Product A - Sale 100 - COGS 50 = Grosss Prof 50
Product B - Sale 125 - COGS - 65 = Gross Prof 60
Total Gross Profit (Prod wise)      = 110
+ / -: Over/under abs                   = XXXX
This Over/under abs will not be available prod wise if you dont allocate it to products

Link beteen cost centers and activities

Hi
We have 180 + cost centers and I want to have 100 + activities.. I want to link these cost centers & activities..Eventually what should happen is when processing transactions with a CO object (cost center, internal order, WBS) in AP posting, recurring entry, depreciation, PO ect the value should also hit the activities at the time it hitting the cost center
I just want to know whether a link can be maintained in the cost center master data to link an activity..
Thanks

HI,
the linkage of cost centers and activity types is done in cost center / act. type master data using the field "cost center category". if you set cost center category to "X" in the cost center, the cost center can only "use" act. types with cost center category "X" (or * which is a wildcard).
In act. type master data you can key in up to 8 different CCtr categories, which allows you to limit activity type "test" to be used for cost center category X and Y and Z.
The possible combinations can be seen in act.rate planning (kp26). Planning is only possible for the combination of cost center / act. type given by the linkage described above.
Best regards, Christian

Costing Issues

Dear All,
             Please give me the solutions for below
u2022     We are having 2 co.codes (A=Biscuit,B=Bread), u2018Au2019 is manufacturing biscuits.
u2022     u2018Bu2019 manufactures bread, but here the issue is, such manufactured bread relates to u2018Au2019
u2022     u2018Au2019 issues material to u2018Bu2019, including fuel.
u2022     Remaining expenditure bear by u2018Bu2019(Production Happens in u2018Bu2019)
u2022     For such manufacturing u2018Bu2019 receives job work charges from u2018Au2019
u2022     Now the issue is how can we give profitability(profit and loss) of u2018Au2019 Bread(manufacturing in u2018Bu2019)How will be arrive the exact manufacturing cost of bread at u2018Bu2019
u2022     Coming to Co.code u2018Bu2019 How can we calculate Activity Cost(Manufacturing Bread)
u2022     Whether we can do production implementation in u2018Bu2019 co.code without material(Other than Bread Nothing this Co.code will do u2018Bu2019)
u2022     B.O.M is preparing in u2018Au2019 co.code,
u2022     How can we map this scenario:Co.code u2018Au2019 want to see cost of such Bread
u2022     How ca we map this scenario: Co.Code u2019Bu2019 want to see the cost of activites (machine cost, labour cost,setup cost)(remain that material from u2018Au2019 co.code including fuel and u2018Bu2019 manufactured bread)
u2022     Atlast u2018Au2019=Biscuit Division wants Finished Good of Bread Cost(Which is manufactured in u2018Bu2019)
u2022     u2018Bu2019=Bread Division Wants of Bread Manufacturing Cost(without raw material and fuel supplied by u2018Au2019=Biscuit Division) (Which is Manufactured in u2018Bu2019).
Another Issue:
u2022     While extending material from plant to depot(depot is also a plant)
u2022     Error message is u201CDO want to change the profit center, but in material stock still existsu201D
u2022     Plant (phillaur) and Depot(ahmadabad),Phillaur having one profit center,ahamdabad is having another profit center.
u2022     Here it should allow the material(plant-phillaur) to extend (depot-ahmadabad).
Another Issue:
u2022     In Vendor Line item Display FBL1N(Profit Center updation is not showing)
u2022     In Customer Line item Display FBl5N(Profit Center Updation is not Showing)
u2022     But in General Expenditure Fd10n(Profit Center is updating)

Hi,
The Co codes A & B can transfer the material using the inter comany transfer scenario which will rasie bill to the supply company & do the production further process in company B.
If the BOM is in the Company A then if the production is in B then you can transfer the price to other company using the functionality Transfer Pricing control.
Bu2019 receives job work charges from u2018Au2019 this case you create the A & B as vendor as raise the service PR for the job done by A to B & once raise the Bill do the SES for accept bill then invoice to A.
The pricing control can be determined seperately for both CC A & B.you can get the COGM for both the plant seperately.you define same material code for this & extend to two company code.
See when extending the material you can change the profitcenter for the extended plant,for ex Plant having X profit center & Depot can have Y profit center.
while creating the material master newly you have to maintain this data,if there is any stock exists you cant change the profitcenter,you have to make the stock to zero then change the data.then updtae the stock.
see you can maintain profit center seperately for two different plant it is plant dependent data only thing is no stock should not there.
It will show the line item posted to the vendor & customer in the FBL1N & FBL5N.select the layout from the transaction it will show all option of profitcenter,costcenter,purchasing document everything,select & check.
Regards,
Raj.

Real Cost from WBS to Activity

Hi,
We are entering hours using Acct Assgt to a WBS elements by CAT2.
I guess that some settlement or distribution process exists in order to allocate these costs to activities? Could anybody enlighten me or just give me a hint of how it works?
Thanks

KB15N seems a good way but we where looking for something not that manual. I'll try to find how settlement rules work.
About your question, as we have a multilevel WBS structure, we first confirm work at the higher level, (highest WBS of the project), second we distribute these cost along all the activities, and finally to the WBSE of each activity. It might seem a bit crazy, but our customer usually repeats parts of the projects and this seems the only way to record the actual cost of each of these parts.
Thanks

Cost estimate currency

Hello Gurus,
Once the cost estimate is run for a material, we could see the values in controlling currency. But i need Company code currecny. Could any body let me know the configuration for this.
Thanks in advance,
SK

Hi,
Currencies in Costing
You can update and display the costing results (cost component split, and itemization) in both the company code currency and the controlling area currency. The cost component split is then rolled up in both currencies. The controlling area currency is only valid for the legal valuation level.
If the controlling area currency is different from the company code currency, the itemization will be updated in both currencies. The value in the company currency is converted into the controlling area currency.
The additional currency information is required in variance calculation to calculate the target costs.
If the material ledger is active, you can update raw material prices in the material master record in three currencies. You can transfer the material price in the controlling area currency directly into the cost estimate. For semi-finished products, the cost estimate is updated in both currencies.
If the material ledger is active, the marked and released costing results are updated in the company code currency and the controlling area currency in the material ledger master data, provided that the corresponding currency types are used in the material ledger. (In this case, release is carried out in material price determination.)
Costing can also access prices in company code currency and controlling area currency in the Material Ledger master data.

How to avoid actual cost error log while confirm production order activity

Hi
I dont want to post actual activity cost via production order activity confirmation. But i want standard value keys for my production duration purpose. So,i defined activites(strd value key) in work center without assigning cost center to that work center. While i confirm in CO11N, system throws erro log as Actual cost calculation contain errors and allows me to confirm the activities. I am doing MB31 and all CO settlement activities also. But when i try to close the order it says error log exists,so closing of order is not possible. How to overcome this problem as i dont want to capture any cost of activites via production order,but i want confirmation only for production analysis.

Hi
Issue is resolved thru PP forum. Thanks for ur reply.
Solution lies in Control key of routing and BOM costing relevancy.

Sudhar,
You can make the operation not relevant for Costing by using a Customized Control key which is not relevant for Costing or else in the operation details you need to leave the "Costing relevancy" field blank.

Project Costing for Creating Quotations and Man power planning

Hi All,
I need advice about the following issues:
1.I need to do costing for projects so that i can create quotations.
Some times i have Sales Enquiry and some times there is no enquiry.Also sometimes they create PRs rest they are directly issuing POs.
Pls suggust which cost planning i should do.if i am doing Network costing by assging the material componnets to various activitites,but if they dont prefer PR generation then what should i do.
2.The project are turnkey so lot of departments are involved so how i plan manower as lot of cost centers are involved but they want to plan the total manpower seperately,
Muzamil

Hi,
1. Costing for the Quotation: For you I recommend to go for the Easy cost planning option.
Please go through the following link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/86/98853478616434e10000009b38f83b/frameset.htm
2. For the workforce planning: you can carry out in SAP via capacity planning and if you wish to do it outside SAP then only the cost can be captured for the labour cost via activities in Project System.
Please see the link below:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/ed/b7853488601e33e10000009b38f83b/frameset.htm

Activity Types and Allocation Cost Element

Hi
What are the impact of having same Allocation Cost Element for different Activity Types. Is there any where we use this condition. SAP allows to have same allocation Cost Elements to different Activity Types, but i did not understand where we can utilizes this feature.
Thanks
Sivaram

Hi Sivaram,
in WIP customizing OKG5 you can assign specific cost center/activitity type combinations to different line-IDs, even though the same cost element is used. By this you can e.g. differentiate the value flow of one cost element in 2: one for capitalization, the other for non-capitalization.
Personally I would not recommend to use this and stick to the rule "one activity type - one cost element" - makes it easier for IT and controlling departments.

Harald
