Different activity type for different capacity category in a work center

Hello,
Multiple capacity categories can be created in a work center like
Engineer
Sr. Engineer
Architect
Rates for all of them will be different (obviously) , however we can only have 1 activity type as default in a work center . We intend to 'HR assignment' corresponding to each capacity category . how can we have multiple activity type for different capacities (Engineer , architect etc).
With regards,
Mrinal

Hi Paulo,
thanks for your quick reply.
Requirement is to assign all persons (Engineer, architect ) to 1 work center and to 1 activity , but to default different activity type (corresponding to capacity category) in worklist of time sheet .

BAPI for reading capacity of a workplace/work center?

Hi,
I'm looking for a BAPI/RFC using SAP MII to read the capacity of a workplace/work center in a given time period (eg. one or more days/weeks/...). I would like to use the import parameters plant ( WERKS ), date from, date to, workplace/work center (eg. CRHD-ARBPL ) and capacity category (eg. KAKO-KAPAR ). As output I would like to get a list of (planed/used) capacities as the working time for the given time period at the specified workplace/work center.
In theory the BAPI CBP_EXC_WC_CAPACITY_REQUEST nearly does what I want. The only drawback is, that it outputs the "wrong" time.
Let me give an example: The work center uses at a given day a capacity from 6 to 22 clock, including one hour break. This gives us a working time of 15 hours for this workplace and day. And "15h" is the time I need. But as there are working 5 worker at this work center the BAPI CBP_EXC_WC_CAPACITY_REQUEST returns 75 hours (which is 5 * 15). But the result "75" is useless for me as long as I don't additonal get the number of workers.
I've searched in our SAP system and in this forum, but wasn't able to find another BAPI that gives me the correct time. As an alternative I would need another BAPI to get me the number of workers for a workplace/work center at a given time. But I also was out of luck finding one.
Looking out for help,
Simon

Thanks for your fast reply!
I have looked to both functions before. Beside that they are both not remote enabled (which is not such a big problem as I could copy them or build a custom BAPI around them) I'm not quite sure how they could solve my problem.
If I got it right, I would first use CR_CAPACITIES_OF_WORKCENTER to get the KAPID and using it as input for CLOI_WC_CAPACITY_READ. But I have problems to understand the output of CLOI_WC_CAPACITY_READ. The data type of the capacity is a float ( FLTP ) and the number seems to be to big, eg. 9.800000000000000E+01= 98h for one day.
Could you try to explain your solution once again?
Thanks,
Simon

Why I cannot enter an "Activity Type" for a trip with only one destination?

Hello experts,
Doing a travel expense the user must specify the type of activity (u201CAu201D, u201COu201D or u201CSu201D) that the trip expense is involved, but this option itu2019s only available when the trip has more than one destination (inside the table u201CAdditional Destinationsu201D):
[Screen Shot # 1|http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/1789/acttype.jpg]
[Screen Shot # 2|http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/8812/ptk05.jpg]
When I make a travel expense report, the field activity does not
appear, only on additional destination. Why cannot I enter an activity
type for the first destination, only for additional destination?
I think that the system should allow to enter an activity on general
trip data.
Thanks on advance

Hi,
Sorry I gave you the customizing entry for transaction PR05 and not for TRIP.
So, go there :
Tx FITVFELD.
--> Your Trip Provision Variant. --> Trip Schema --> Travel Manager (Travel Expenses Only) --> General Trip Data --> Trip Itinerary
The Field "Trip Activity Type - PTK05_N-KZTKT " should have the parameters "Field Is Visible" and "Field ready for input" checked.
As you can see, the entry point is in "Trip itinerary" Subscreen and not in "General Trip Data Subscreen".
This means that unfortunately the Trip Activity Type is not available in the subscreen General Trip Data.
If I do like this in my test system, in the TRIP tx I can see that the field Activity Type appears also in the subscreen "Mileage and Per Diem Reimbursement". So If I enter my activity type here, then it populates the value in my first destination (in Trip Itinerary) even if I have only one destination.
Hope this help ;o)

Christophe

Hi,
In CM01 transaction Menu click on Settings -> General;
In the data area Interval to be evaluated start field will be blank by default. you can enter in -value so that start date would go in past.
click on Time periods button . check Period of database selection From date. You can get details only from the date for the Overall profile attached.
if this has not solved your purpose, you have to change OverallProfile.
Planning -> Profiles -> Overall Profiles.
Select another Overall profile.

Valuation type for two account category reference

Hi Experts
I created valuation type for
1) DOMESTIC & IMPORT with account category reference 0001 (for raw material)
it is applicable only with ROH material type.
2) Same Valuation type DOMESTIC & IMPORT system donu2019t allow to create for other account category reference 0003 ( it is for ZESS spares)
Here requirement is material type ROH & ZESS need to DOMESTIC purchase and IMPORT purchase. hence both material type need DOMESTIC & IMPORT valuation type How to solve this?
karan

Assign both the valuation class to the account category reference. And then assign both the material types to the same account category reference.
You can assign multiple valuation class to an Account Category Reference.
A valuation class can only be assigned to only one account category reference
Only ONE account category reference can be assigned to a material type
where as multiple Material Types can be assigned to a account category reference.
Hope this helps!!

BCS Authoirzation activity types for tasks

Hi All,
The following activity types exist for tasks, the wildcard (*) and the next 5 are self explanatory to me
but how about A3 "change status"?
how can it be used in any way that the others couldn't acheive? it appears redundant to me.
Activity     Description          My assumption
03     Display          Display last results
05     Lock          Lock task
16     Execute          execute task in update mode
48     Simulate          execute task in test mode
95     Unlock          Unlock task
A3     Change status     change status of task, eg from locked to unlocked, red to yellow or green
So, what would happen if a user had 03. 05, 16, 48 & 95 but not * or A3? and then tried to run a task?

Hi,
The following activity types exist for tasks, the wildcard (*) and the next 5 are self explanatory to me
but how about A3 "change status"?
how can it be used in any way that the others couldn't acheive? it appears redundant to me.
- I do not think that this is redundant. There is a new functionality that may prohibit a user from changing the statuses of the tasks. Looks like this activity will allow it.
So, what would happen if a user had 03. 05, 16, 48 & 95 but not * or A3? and then tried to run a task?
- Let me quess: everything will be as usual: tasks lock/unlock, execution. The user just will not be ably to change the tasks status manually. If the status changed the usual task run - no problem.
But again, these are my quesses. You might be the first who may give an answer after experiments. And if it is please share the results with us.

Capacity Planer Group --- Maintenance work center

Hi,
I have a query
1. like do we have to create capacity planner groups same as the planner groups in equipment master data....Do they have any link??
2. What would be the start time and end time in maintenance work center, for 24 hrs open manufacturing industry with 3 shifts???
thanks
DM

Hello Deepak,
There is no relation between capacity planner grp & Maintenance planner group...These are 2 different things..
Now the work centers can be defined for the technicians if HR module is not implemented...
To perform the capacity planning for the technicians, there daily working hrs must be maintained in the system..Though the maintenance is working for 24 hrs,Single technician cannot work for entire 24 hrs..
Hope this will help..
Thanks

Pooled Capacity Not updating in Work center

Hi All, I want to update pooled capacity in Work center. But when i delete the existing capacity it is giving error that " Capacity still being used". Can any one suggest,how to tackle this problem? I want to give solution to Client. Thanks in Advance..!

HI,
Capacity Utilisation rate = Actual Capacity / Theoritical Capacity
Theoritical Capacity= Shift period * No. of machines available
= 8 hrs * 2 = 16 hrs
Actual Capacity value depends on how the company decides it. Say if the break 30 mins has to be considered, then the actual capacity will be 15 hrs for 2 capacities and hence,
Capacity Utilisation rate = 15 / 16 = 93.8%
So, decide the utilisation rate based on the Company's requiremnt.
Hope the above gives you an idea.

What will happen if a maitain both standard available capacity and grouping key ( shift definition and shift sequence) in the capacity header of a work center?

Hi all,
Im little confused with the capacity header in work center. In the capacity header there is one place to give start time, end time, length of break and number of individual capacity. And in grouping key i can define the shift and shift sequence. So if im maintaining both of these ( standard avilable capacity and grouping key), which will be considered to calaculate avilable capacity?

Hi
If you are running three shifts ,please maintain the data as given belwo
start :00:00:00
End:23:59:59
Break :03:00:00 ( 1 Hour per shift so 3 hrs for 3 shifts)
No.of individual capacity :1
System will understand that it is round the clock operation with total three hour brak and you will get 21 hour per capacity
Hope this helps

What's the difference between text and value type for SO item category?

Dears,
Could anybody help me on this question?
Many thanks!
Regards,
Shiliang

Hi Shiliang,
In a Bill Of Material the main item is a composite item which represents what is being sold to the customer. For eg. a computer typically would consist of Monitor, Keyboard,mouse and CPU, speakers. Here computer refers the collection of all these items which are physically existing and basically items present in our inventory ( Value Items ). Where as computer is just a text item meant to describe the collection.
Also to add the for Usage we use it as text sometimes, which is used to say the item has been authenticated by the quality dept and we print " Tested " on it or these days all the items come out with unique article numbers for identification purpose. So we use this usage as text.
Hope it adds. Pl reward if useful.
