Error - KP06 Activity/Prices

Hello SAP Experts,
After entering price in 'Planned Activity' field and posting it in T.code KP26, i am getting an error as "Update was terminated" received from author "FIUSER" while exit. i have also checked the error in T.code SM13, it displays the error status in Module name (function) "OBJECT_NUMBER_INSERT_GENERIC". I have also checked the number range in T.code SNUM
and Object "CO_ABRECHN" number range exists in the company code and also assigned to Element/Group- "Group without text" Where have i gone wrong? Due to this the PP Consultant is not able to assign "Activity type" in Work Center. Please Guide.
Regards
Ashwin

Just check the dump in ST22
Go through the error dump, what happened......
Show it to your ABAPER
It seems some duplication was happend. Check with the Number range given, external number check - SNUM
Thanks

Error while updating the Actual Activity Prices

Dear All,
While calculating the Actual activity prices under test run (KSII) ,the system is calculating the prices correctly, but when I run the KSII after deselecting the test run ,the system is giving the following error message:
Cost center EE04301000 activity type RWKHRS: costs exist although activity 0
Message no. KP250
Diagnosis
The plan or actual activity for cost center EE04301000, activity type RWKHRS is 0. However, costs were planned or posted in period(s) 1.
System Response
The SAP System cannot calculate activity prices for this activity type as this would involve division by zero. The plan or actual costs are ignored in activity price calculation.
Procedure
Check activity price calculation in planning for activity type RWKHRS in cost center EE04301000 and the costs planned for period(s) 1.
Activity Type Planning
Primary Cost Planning
For activity price calculation in actual, actual costs are allocated onto the activity type through splitting, although no activity posting was made on this activity type.
The scenario is that we have 4 activity types and planned costs/activity qty for all the 4 activities and calculated plan prices and posted actual costs for all the four types. Production Order created and confirmed only 3 activities out of 4 activities. And when we calculate the Actual prices for all 4 activities the system is giving the above said message.
Please suggest as how to solve this issue.
Regards
Subbu

Hi Subbu
The error is very much justified.. If your actual qty for any act type is zero, then division by zero would yield an error during activity price calculatoin
You need to ignore this error, if the zero qty for 4th act type is justified.. System would post act price for remaining 3 act types...

Activity Price thru KP26 & KP06

I want a clarification regarding activity price calculation:
- I know that we can manually enter the activity quantity and variable/fixed rates in kP26. If that is the case, what is the purpose of quantity that is entered in KP26 ?
- Other way, we can plan the cost element in the cost centre and later on maintain the quantity in KP26 and do the KSPI (plan run) and the system will calculate the prices. In this case, I hope, system will be calculating the fixed price only. What about the variable price then ?

hi nikitha..
   I am really confused to see the various comments on this issue. Basic requirement is to calculate fixed & variablr price after KSPI run
If you follow the steps below your purpose will serve:
KP06      1-101     Cost Centre Planning - element planning (Fixed value & Variable Value)
      1-102     Activity Distribution to findout Fixed/Variable Price
          if both are required paln Variable quanty
          otherwise Fixed qty
KP26      1-201     Activity Planning (Activity qty)
You have to use both the layout in KP06 & remember the total activity qty you have planned in KP26 that should match you activity distribution in KP06 (1-102 layout)
thanks

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)

KSII activity prices not calculation (actual)

Hi
During Actual Price calculation KSII following is error message :
All activity prices are manually entered
Message no. KP211
Diagnosis
All activity prices in controlling area HGC, fiscal year 2011, and version 0 were determined and set as manually entered prices.
In actual price calculation, all plan activity prices, meaning those calculated automatically (activity price indicator 1 and 2) and those set manually (activity price indicator 3), are treated as if they have been set manually.
System Response
The SAP System cannot calculate activity prices automatically.
Processing is cancelled.
Procedure
Check your activity type planning. To calculate the activity price automatically, you must set the activity price indicator accordingly.

Hi Imdad
Go to KL02 and set your Actual Price Indicator so that it allows to calculate Actual Price through system
There are 2 such fields - Plan Price Indicator and Actual Price Indicator... I think you have presently chosen MANUAL price indicator

Activity prices in KP26 used for actual and plan in version 0

We plan activity prices via KP26 in version 0. We then plan activity consumption via KP06, and run the plan reconciliation via KPSI.
During the year, we need to update the activity prices used in actual activity allocation. This price also comes from version 0.
When we change the activity price, the planned amounts change also. We are looking for a way to maintain a separate price for actual activity allocation.

Ajay,
Your answer definitely sent me down the right path...thank you!
For other's benefit, these are the steps I took to make this work:
1) set the "Purely Iter. Price" indicator in plan version 0
2) import planning layout 1-N01 from client 000 (OBKF)
3) add planning area "Cctr: Manual actual prices" to planning layout SAPALL (KP34)
4) add planning layout 1-N01 to planner profile SAPALL (KP34)
5) create and run custom program from note 551309 to add cost element field to the input screen in KBK6 (SE38)
6) transport planning layout for planning area "Cctr: Manual actual prices" (OKEX)
Now we can plan a price in KP26, and maintain a different price in KBK6 which is used in the actual activity allocation.
Thanks again,
Linda

Activity prices maintained manually..Is KSII/MFN1 possible?

Hi Experts,
We have this scenario:
1. Activity prices are entered manually in KP26.
2. All Costs are maintained as Activity independent costs.
3. For Production Cost centers, some costs (primary costs) are Activity relevant and others not relevant at all for Activity.
4. No Splitting structure maintained so far.
Now, we are considering calculating Actual Activity prices through KSII and then MFN1 for revaluating Process orders.
I tried KSII in our test system, where I got the following error message # KP211. I even tried by maintaining the Actual Activity type category '01' and Actual price indicator '05' in AT master, but no luck.
Short Text
All activity prices are manually entered
Diagnosis
All activity prices in controlling area , fiscal year , and version were determined and set as manually entered prices.
In actual price calculation, all plan activity prices, meaning those calculated automatically (activity price indicator 1 and 2) and those set manually (activity price indicator 3), are treated as if they have been set manually.
System Response
The SAP System cannot calculate activity prices automatically.
Processing is cancelled.
Procedure
Check your activity type planning. To calculate the activity price automatically, you must set the activity price indicator accordingly.
Proceed
Questions:
1.Given our case, is it possible to do KSII/MFN1? If yes, what configuration and master setup is required?
2. What accounting/CO entry posted MFN1. Especially, want to know if value also posted to CO-PA?
Thanks much for your time.
SC

Hi SC, 
 
sorry for my delay. 
 
Yes, you can process KSII even if you maintained planned activity prices manually. For this, the Activity type master should be activity price indicator "5" for Actual, hoever it's defalt value for planning (KP26). 
Could you check activity planning value in your period as follows; 
 
1. Go to transaction KP26 
2. Selection screen; 
 Set your version and year/period and also cost center/activity types in problem. 
 Push Next Layout button (Ctrl + F8) and set layout 1-204 (named "Control indicators"). 
3. Push "Overview screen" (F5) 
 
You can see plan price indicator and also ACTUAL price indicator, so you have to check if actual price indicator is not "7" or "Blank". If not, please set it with value "5" or "6". 
Hope you can understand what I wrote above, but if you have any queries, please feel free to ask me. 
 
Additonaly about your question regarding "activity independent" cost planning 
In F1 help document for field "Equivalence Numbers", there're useful description how activity-independent costs allocates activity type and activity prices calculates. If you do not use cost split or activity-depend planning, you can process activity price calculation by "Equivalence Numbers". it's easy-way to allocate cost to each activity type. you can see this field also in KP26 with layout 1-201 (sample) 
the following passage from field "Equivalence Numbers" F1 document. 
 
- Equivalence Numbers 
Weighting factor for distribution of activity-independent plan costs of a cost center onto the available activity types. 
- Use 
This field group serves to weight the activity types created in a cost center. After weighting, the activity-independent plan costs of a cost center are distributed onto the available activity types. 
-Procedure 
If you want to change or create equivalence numbers in planning, this field must be defined in the planning layout. If this field is not defined, any existing equivalence numbers will be displayed, but they cannot be changed. 
Examples 
You have planned the following activity types for cost center 4420: 
Activ. type Plan quantity Equiv. nr. 
 
FST 400 hrs 3 
REP 50 hrs 1 
RST 20 hrs 1 
 
 Total: 5 
This cost center has planned activity-independent costs worth $20,000 . These costs are distributed according to activity price calculation onto the iteratively calculated activity prices (cost rates) of the activity types: 
ATyp Fixed costs Fixed portion of activ. price 
 
FST 20,000 X 3/5 = 12,000 $12,000 / 400 hrs = 30 $/hr 
REP 20,000 X 1/5 = 4,000 $4,000 / 50 hrs = 80 $/hr 
RST 20,000 X 1/5 = 4,000 $4,000 / 20 hrs = 200 $/hr

All activity prices are manually entered (Message no. KP211 )

Dear All,
I have maintained Activity Rates through KP26. On Activity Master I have set Act. price indicator = 5.
Now when i am executing KSII it is giving me error message as :
All activity prices are manually entered
Message no. KP211
Diagnosis
All activity prices in controlling area FLGP, fiscal year 2011, and version 0 were determined and set as manually entered prices.
In actual price calculation, all plan activity prices, meaning those calculated automatically (activity price indicator 1 and 2) and those set manually (activity price indicator 3), are treated as if they have been set manually.
System Response
The SAP System cannot calculate activity prices automatically.
Processing is cancelled.
Procedure
Check your activity type planning. To calculate the activity price automatically, you must set the activity price indicator accordingly.
Proceed
Please let me know if I need to done any additional settings.
Br, Vivek Srivastava

Hi Vivek,
"The error message KP211 is display by the system due
to the SAP System cannot calculate activity prices automatically.
(can you review the settings in the system).
The procedure that you have to follow is to review transaction code
KP26 and your activity types.
From viewpoint of actual price iteration all plan prices are political
in the sense that 'prices does not change during actual price
iteration'. If all activity types have indicator 1 then everything
will be evaluated with plan price in actual. So actual price iteration
has nothing to compute because no price will be changed. You have to
set price indicator to 5 or 6 in actual price indicator for at least
one activity type in order to calculate the actual activity price.
When you change some activity type master data in transaction KL02,
these changes take effect in all relevant tables, BUT please notice
that the values of TARKZ, TARKZ_I etc. are only DEFAULT values for
activity planning and therefore ONLY READ ONCE when the relevant
planning set is created. Subsequent changes to the master data (default
value) take not effect in the planning sets. You have to change the
values in every single planning set manually."
You indicates that for the activity types you have set in the master data
actual price indicator to 5 (Actual price, automatically based on
on activity). But this is only a default value and can be overwritten
for example during planning.
Please see table COKL for cost center / activity type if have an empty field for
the actual price indicator. Thus the system only finds the plan price
indicators during price calculation and message KP 211 is justified if
you consider the following part of the long text:
In actual price calculation, all plan activity prices, meaning those
calculated automatically (activity price indicator 1 and 2) and
those set manually (activity price indicator 3), are treated as if they
have been set manually.
In order to run KSII as expected by you, you have to execute trans.
KP26 for the cost center and activity type using layout 1-204
(Activity Types: Indicators).
Here you can set the actual price indicator to 5.
Afterwards there should be no further problem with KSII.
I hope helps,

Fiscal year independent Activity price determination

Hi,
I have a question regarding the activity prices in Controlling.
We have a activity price plan(KP26 transaction) which is same every year. We do not want to copy this price every year . Is there a way to get this price for any year. Currently system gets the error KL023 'no control record for activity type controlling area/ cost center/ activity type in version 0000/ fiscal year activity planning /quantity planning.
Configuration also does not allow to eliminate/control KL type messages.
We have the activity type defined as follows.
1. Activity category as 1. manual entry manual allocation
2. Price category as 3. Determined manually
Best regards
Deepak

Hi,
Activity price in kp26 is used to valuate the production orders activity confirmation.
Plan Price in KP26 should be updated every month as per standard business practice.
If your business scenario does not necessiate the same than its fine.
Changing the same in the middle of the year is no such problem depending upon business scenario.

Actual activity price calculation for production order

Hi
Can any one guide me in how many ways we can assign actual activity price calculation for production order?
I knew only one way by assigning PPP2 costing variant?
I have another doubt is: if we don't mention any material valuation indicator (moving average, standard) in valuation variant, how system will calculate material prices? is there any other way, to recognize the prices by system?
regards,
Ramesh B

Dear,
Costing variant PPP2 is linked to some valuation variant inn OPL1
System will check the valuation of material and activity according to this valuation variant
For material valuation there are many stg acceding to which system will take the price the raw material,
Valuation strategy for material component
Strategy sequence that determines the valuation of the materials used in the cost estimate.
Use
The materials are valuated using the price in the material master record or the values calculated in a material cost estimate.
Procedure
You can enter a single strategy, or you can enter multiple strategies in the form of a strategy sequence. If you enter multiple strategies, the priority of the strategy determines what price or what values are selected.
Examples
Assume that the following strategy sequence is entered for material valuation:
1. Planned price 1
2. Standard price
3. Moving average price
If the system finds a value in the Planned price 1 field (costing view), this value is taken as the value for valuating the material.
If the system does not find a value, the value in the Standard price field (accounting view) is used.
If the material does not have a standard price, the system uses the value from the Moving average price field.
if you have not mentioned, then system will give error that "valuation stg not found"
Valuation strategy for internal activities and processes-
Strategy sequence that determines how internal activities and processes are valuated in costing.
Use
The activities and business processes used are valuated with the prices from Cost Center Accounting or Activity-Based Costing to determine the production costs or process costs. The prices can either be calculated iteratively through price calculation, or entered manually by the user.
Procedure
You can enter either a single strategy or more than one strategy in the form of a strategy sequence. If you enter more than one strategy, the priority of the strategy determines which price is selected.
Examples
The following strategy sequence is entered:
1. Actual price of the previous period
2. Plan price of the previous period
3. The most current plan price
If the system finds a price for the activity type, this price is used for valuating the internal activities. If no price was calculated for the previous period, the plan price from the previous period is used to valuate the activity type.
If the system cannot find a plan price for the previous period, it looks for a future plan price, using the next price in the posting period to valuate the internal activities. For example, if plan prices have been entered for periods 2 and 3, and a plan price is calculated in period 1 for period 4, the system uses the price from period 3 in accordance with the valuation strategy Most up-to-date plan price.
Again if you have not mentioned, then system will give error that "valuation stg not found".
You can use any costing variant for actual (PPP2)and planned(PPP1) according to your requirement.. check in OPL1

Error the actual price could not be determined while executing CKMLCP

Hi!
we are facing the problem while executing CMLCP, the error message is "The actual price for 10VN000012/MHR could not be determined" ( error message number CKMLLA102).
Our scenarios is as below:
we have 4 activity types out of which activity type "MHR" are used only for Indirect activity allocaiton tracing factor that means all service costs from service cost centres will be distributed to production cost centres in the ratio of actual quantity confirmed for MHR activity type.
for this activity type we will not have any actual cost distribution, so there will not be any actual cost for this activity type.
So, as actual quantity is confirmed during production process and while executing CMLCP is expecting actual price for the same ( we are executing KSII for actual activity price calculation before costing run). is there any enhancement to avoid this error, because our client don't want to allocate cost to this activity type.
regs,
ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
Message CKMLLA102 is standard system behaviour when the actual
price of an activity is zero because cost center accounting does not
allow actual prices to be zero.
Unfortunately the system can't distinguish an actual activity price
of zero from a not yet calculated activity price, so for activities
with actual price zero the message CKMLLA 102 is sent.
Have you check the SAP note 361379?. It provides you some options to overcome
the issue.

KSII actual activity price issue

Hi All
I want system to calculate the activity price automatically after running KSII and should update it in KBK6 so that i can revaluate production order with actuals by running MFN1. Now i have done all the configuration required and my plan cost are getting updated after i run KSPI and same is getting update in KP26 and are also showing in KBK6 under plan cost nd can be seen in Cost center reports under plan cost. Problem is with actuals
I have been reading the forum regarding this issue and all the inputs given by experts is been checked but i think iam missing something either a step in calculating the actuals or may be some tick in configurations
Kindly let me know the solution for an issue iam facing .
Thanks in advance
Invin

Hi Surya
I had already done the setting in OKEW and all splitting structure configuration. Base on that my plan cost is been distrbuted in two different activities. Planning has been done in KP06 and after doing that only i ran the transaction KSPI.
But ya you got a point thats what iam feeling that there is some thing missing in my config settings which i already mentioned in my earlier posts.
What is the prb iam not able to recoganize kindly if you can give me some detailed information what could be the reason?
For your information i would like to tell briefly what i did so far:
1. IN configuration i defined splitting structure Say T1
2. then by selecting T1 i cllicked in assignment and assigned splitting rule say T10
3. then by selecting T10 i clicked on "Selection for assingment" in this screen i mentioned only one cost element say 55000000 in "from value" "to value" and in activity type i mentioned "from" 106010 "to" 106030
4. then i clicked back icon and selected "Splitting rules" which is T10 in my case and method i mentioned is "12- Activiy quanitity" and checkd the box called "Wt- Weighting Indicator"
5. then i selected my rule T10 and clicked on "Selection for rules" and here i mentioned my version that is 0
6. then i did config setting "Assign Splitting Structure to Cost Centers" over here i assined this rule to only one cost center say 31010401 in parameters i selected version radio box and entered 0 there
These all what i did in configuration settings
Now after this i did planning KP06 entered my cost center that is 31010401 and only mentioned my cost element which is 55000000 with my activity type 106010 and 106030 here i didn't took 106020 in consideration. Now these values are coming in my cost center plan report on debit side and then i ran KSPI cost got splitted in both the activiy types in credit side in planning section of cost center but the prb is the same which you know Actuals are not coming
Kindly put a light what could be the reason?
Thanks

KSS2 KSII Actual activity price calculation

Dear Grus !
I want to carry out actual activity price calculation. I assigned activity type act 100 to act500 to different cost element, and also assigned splitting rule 12.
also entered activity plan price in KP26. cost element planning in KP06.
When I carry out KSS2, system distribute cost of one cost element to activity types according to the target cost maintained in KP06. I want the result that cost distributed as maintained in the splitting rule.
is there any specific configuration that i missed?
Thank you all ~
Lynn

Check whether you have maintained the Equivalence number for the activity type and cost center combination in KP26.
Also you have to run the KSPI before running KSII, because KSII result is the iterative one.
Hope this will help you.
