IW41: automatic update of activity type when changing the work center?

Hello colleagues,
when doing a time confirmation with IW41, we have following problem:
In the PM order the operations are assigned to a neutral executing work center, as it not known which individual technician is completing the operation later on.
Now when the individual technician is entering the time confirmation with IW41, system is proposing the work center indicated in the operation from the PM order, then technician is overwriting the work center proposal with his own individual work center ID (and pressing Enter), but the activity type is not getting updated automatically. So the technician must jump to field "activity type" and choose the correct activity type.
Is there any solution (hopefully with user exits!) to have the field "activity type" automatically updated with the one indicated in the work center, which was entered manually?
Thanks for your ideas!
Regards,
Patrick

Hi Maheswaran,
yes, as usual all PM work centers have only 1 activity type assigned in the costing tab.
We also checked the settings of the activity type (KL03), but we just found one difference: the price indicator was set on 3 "Determined manually" - we've changed to 1 "Plan price, automatically based on activity" (..same setting as for the act. type of the work center with working update of act.type).
We tested already all possible constellations and scenarios, but we have not found any good reason for the behaviour.
Thanks for your efforts so far!

PM Order Confirmation using Personnel's Cost Center and Activity Type

Hi All,
Is it possible to have PM Order confirmation (IW41) using Cost Center and Activity type from Personnel instead of default from Work Center? If it is, can it be done with some configuration or user exit? Please advise. Thank you.
Dai

Hi friend,
Order confirmation will be done for order operations.While doing confirmation we post the actual work done by the repective work center and respective activity type assigned to the same workcenter.
But these activity types are assigned to cost center for cost calculation.confirming the respective operation in maintenance order through workcenters gives the report of planned work and actual work done by the respective workcenter.
We cannot confirm the operation using costcenter and activity type directly through transaction IW41.
If you want to develop new confirmation screen and making confirmation of the respective order operation with only costcenter and activity type fields, you can do it .

Can some one pls guide me how to fill these two fields?
Thanks and regards,
Pankaj Bist.

Hi Marcin,

Operations and Activity type.

Summary :- A service order was created with an operations.The complete confirmation was done and 3 operations were confirmed. 1st and 2nd operation have same activity type and 3rd has different activity type. A document was created through DIP profile, but it has entry of only 2 materials.We wanted 3 materials. When checked in DIP profile, the summarization of activity type is not ticked; it means it will summarize the activity types.
Problem:- The activity types should not summarize. We do not want to use the activity summarization in DIP profile in Usage --> characteristics, as if we change that it will affect other documents using the DIP profile. Kindly suggest any other solution for this issue.
Thanks.

Activity types needs to be synchronised form CRM to MSA.

Hi,
We have a requirement in which the some of the activity types needs to be synchronised form CRM to MSA.
So for that I've added up a new Potential Criteria Field [Segment Field name - PROC_TYPE from the table SMOVBKA] for the Replication object ACTIVITY_OBJECT.
Then I created a new publication that refers to this replication object.
Finally while creating a Subscription with this publication I'm not able to place the filter in the criteria values for the activity types.
Kindly help me out at the earliest in explaning how I can place the filter so that I can filter out only the needed Activity types
Regards,
Rasmi.

Hi Kai,
Thanks for your reply.
As I've already said, I've created a new Potential Criteria Field(PROC_TYPE) for the Replication Object - ACTIVITY_OBJECT. Then I created a new Publication (Activity(by Types)) and assigned that particular replication object to it. Finally while creating the subscription I need to place a filter for the Activity Types which in turn gets its value from PROC_TYPE of table SMOVBKA. When i tried to give the Segment Field Name(PROC_TYPE) as the filter criteria in the subcription,i'm not able to determine the values for it.Even if I try to give a value in the criteria part(ZACC - Call), the publication itself gets vanished.
Thanks for your understanding.

Rasmi.

In CATS, where can I assign "Activity type to default Time sheet",

Hi gurus,
In CATS, where can I assignt Activity type to Default time sheet. Please help me asap.
If any cats doc. available plz share with me.
Thanks in advance,
Sadana.

If you have defined activity types then you can define them with the right price in KP27 for each costcenter.
the costcenter is connected with the personelnumber.. in infotype 315 you can define which is the default activitytype for each person.
if you have only 1 activitytype you can also programm the user exit to fill it in by default
see EXIT_SAPLCATS_002 to implement a fixed activitytype for whole cats

IW41 using HR data (cost centre and activity type)

Hi all,
Does anyone know the steps required to make IW41 determine the Cost Centre and Activity Type from the HR master?
We can change the Activity Type by user-exit CONFPM04, but not the Cost Centre.
Also posted [here|http://www.sapfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=329923].

Hi Pete,
Which cost center field are you using? SKOSTL (sender cost center) should be changeable in export structure AFRUD_EXP. It is this field that is written to the AFRU table (not KOSTL). I did a quick check through debug and it looks possible to set a value in the exit that gets written to AFRU-SKOSTL.

Maintenance activity type - PM order

Hello,
I have to configure the field "activity type" on PM order (tcode IW31).
I want to make this field obrigatory and It can't come with default values. It must comes empty.
In SPRO, when a take off the link between the Order type and the default value for activity type (table T350), occurs the error bellow, on tcode IW31:
"No maintenance activity type could be determined"
After that, occurs a runtime error, and I can't enter in the IW31 to create the PM order.
Somebody knows how can I do what I need?
Tks, Camila.

Activity Types

at the time of confirmation of Production order by CO11n i get error : No Price could be determined for Object Activity Types 1000/1031101/43003, where 1000 is comtrolling area, 1031101 is Cost Centre and 43003 is activity. i have check all the possible best ways to solve.
please help its urgent.

Dear Yuvraj,
1.Check the validity Date of the Activity Type - in T code KL03.
2.Check the validity dates of the Cost center under Costing tab in Work Center in CR03.
3.For the common valid from date of this activity type,Cost center maintain the rates in T code KP26.
For Eg: If the activity Type is valid from 01.04.2007 to 31.12.9999 and the cost centre assigned in the work center is valid from
01.06.2007,then a rate can be maintained for the period say 03,2008 to 12,2008 in T code KP26.This is as per the Financial Year
Calculation.
I hope by the above checks you will be able to sort out the issue.

Activity type issue

Hi Experts
We have maintained new P exchange rates ( USD >> AUD)yesetday with validity form October 2009. During the costing run today we've noticed that the activity types are not consideriing the latest rate for calculation (completed KP26 with period 1 to 12 for 2009).
Please advice me why this is happening? Are we missing anything here.
Thanks in advance.

Hi PK,
The title of your issue is rather confusing with what you did with your system because when you do Costing run or product costing, the system do the calculation of your product/products based on Costing variant assigned to the product in which plant the product is calculated.
You have to be aware of the function of Costing variant. The costing variant contain all the rule and parameter of how the system get the prices of your materials in the BOM and how the price of activity types are calculated in the Routing. For the point of activity type you need to check what strategies are determined in the valuation variant which is assigned in the Costing run. Please check by following menu path at IMG/Spro:
Controlling> Product Cost Controlling>Product Cost Planning> Material Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure>Define Costing Variants.
Once you get costing variant which is used in the Costing run/Product costing, then check the valuation variant assigned. Go to detail of valuation variant. The valuation variant determine of how the system get the prices as mentioned above.
Let's get back to your issue and what you did in the system. Changing the P exhange rate has nothing to do your costing run directly, especially for activity type. The price of activity type is defined by the "planning activity output price (t-code KP26) and based on strategy defined at "Activity types/Processes" tab in the valuation variant. Is it using "Plan price as average of all fiscal year period" or any other strategy priority defined for the activity types. I don't think you do planning the cost of cost center using foreign currency.
The only possibility of how your exchange rate change would affect your cost calculation if your materials are procured in foreign currency and if material valuation strategy in the valuation variant use the first priority "L" Price from purchasing info record". If the price defined in the "Material Val" tab are others than mentioned above, your change in E/R would not affect your costing run/Product costing.
Hope this help your understanding of how costing variant and valuation run better.
Best regards,
Irhasni

Activity Type Price

Is it possible to maintain Activity Type Price in Currency other than Co Code and Cont Area?
If yes then How?

Hi,
Check with this.The activity amount you are planning in KP06 & KP26 with activity quantity & after run KSPI the rate will calculate & appear in KP26.
Now when you update the KP06 or KP26 it is based on the costcenter only.
Now do one thing even though your controlling area currency is different,now change the currency in cost center master data.Now do the update in KP06 & KP26 & try withh KSPI now check what curremcy it is updated in KP26.

Raj

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
Nomi

Activity types with zero prices.

Hello all
I'm trying to to assign a cost centre to a work centre. I understand that we need to do the activity type price planning for the cost centre before we assign it to the work centres.
The situation is, the activivty types are not planned for few cost centres and the prices are not determined yet for those activity types for those cost centres for the moment. I'm trying to do lsmw to load work centres and it would not let me assign those cost centres as there is no activity type price planning done for those cost centres.
Is there any way that we can create these work centres and assign them to cost centres without actually doing any planning for the activity types.?
Many thanks

They need to have prices. Maintain 0.01 just so that you can load your master data.
Subsequently you can go back and change them to the prices they should be.

Activity Type Master Data

In Activity Type master data we found these options allocation cost element feild.
1     Manual entry, manual allocation
2     Indirect determination, indirect allocation
3     Manual entry, indirect allocation
4     Manual entry, no allocation
What is its relevance? . When to select what?.
Please give example.

Hi,
We are using an activity type for Direct labour. eg of how we have defined the Master Data is below:
ATyp category - 1
1 is selected if Activity types use plan activity quantities. If you are going to plan the quantities for Activity type thru KP26 and then the Activity cost thru KP06 before calculating the Activity price thru KSPI, select 1.
Price indicator - 1
Act. price indicator - 5
