Grouping cost elements to Activity types?

Hi friends,
We created Machine hours activity & Labor hour activity in production cost centers for charging to production orders.
We are able to see in cost center report the over/under adsorption for that cost center.
Since there are many primary cost elements making up these activity costs and since many activities are done at cost center, we are not able to find out what is Planned / Actual cost per each activity.
For the above problem, Is the any feature by which we can combine primary cost elements for that cost center under particular activity type?
Full points will be rewarded.
Thanks & Regards
Ravi

Change of Allocation Cost element in Activity type during Fiscal year

Hi,
An activity type was planned on a cost center in KP26 with a wrong cost element. Then actual activity allocations were posted with this acitivity type. Now I have reversed all actual allocations on this cost center with this activity type and keep trying to delete the plan line item in KP26 to be able to change the cost element.
Unfortunatelly the deletion is not succesful. I get the Message no. K8098:
"Costs already posted under cost element 12345. No deletion possible
Procedure
First reverse the posted record under cost element 12345."
I have reversed the allocations. The Balance on the cost center is 0. However the reversal seems not to be sufficient.
Do you have any idea what needs to be done to be able to delete the plan line item in KP26?
With best regards,
Robert

Robert,
Follow this note it may be helpful. I guess you need to delete the records from table before doing anything else.

Report by Internal Order that includes cost element and order type

Good Morning Gurus'
Is there an SAP Standard Report that shows Internal order, cost element and order type? I find many with order, but not order type.
Thanks a million!!

Hi,
No, I don't think so. You can create a workaround by defining order group based on order type by intervals. Or, of course, develop your own report.

What is Cost Center and Activity type

Can any one make me understand Conseptually, what is Cost Center and Activity Type

<b>Cost Center:</b>A cost centers is an organizational unit within a controlling area that represents a clearly delimited area of responsibility where costs are monitored against a budget.
Cost centers represent areas of responsibility (management areas) that generate and influence costs.
Cost centers are the locations at which the costs are incurred
<b>Activity types</b> describe activities produced by a cost center. They are measured in units of time or quantity. Activity quantities are valuated using a price.
For example: the maintenance department provides maintenance service at a labor hourly rate of SAR 2000 or USD 1000.
When the activities produced by a cost center are used by other cost centers, orders or projects, this means that the resources of the sending cost center are being used by the receiver objects.
By recording the planned and actual quantities consumed, you reallocate cost incurred on the sender into the receivers.
Activity Types can be grouped to facilitate reporting and cost allocation.
Hope it clears your basic doubt on Cost center and Activity type
Assign points if helpful.

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 .

Define a settlement cost element for receiver type FXA

Hi,
While settling the AUC internal order,i am gettingg the below error.Kindly advice me
Define a settlement cost element for receiver type FXA
Message no. KD506
Diagnosis
In allocation structure A1 (controlling area AFCO), you did not define which cost element should be used when settling costs/revenues of the sender. Nor did you define receiver type FXA.
Procedure
Assign a different allocation structure to the settlement sender (-> Master data -> Settlement rule -> Goto -> Settlement parameters), or maintain allocation structure A1.
Thanks
Supriya

Hi Supriya,
Go to SPRO-> Controlling > Internal orders>Actual postings>Settlement> Maintain Allocation structures & choose A1 and go to assignment, select the relevant category like raw material / consumption and then go to source, check the range of cost elements first then click the settlement cos t element and under that choose FXA and define the settlement cost element which must be created under 22 category.
After maintainig the above, you will not get the error anymore.
Thanks & Regards

Define a settlement cost element for receiver type CTR

Hi, i work for real estate company and we just implemented SAP. were on our process of closing our books and we are tied by error during PS settlement. House repair, which is an income statement account and cost element as well, are monitored in Project Systems with settlement rule set to GL. Postings will initially be posted as Project Cost WBS and will be settled to house repair GL. however, someone advised us that only balance sheet accounts should be settled to GL. Cost and expenses should be settled to Cost Center and so we changed the configuration and business process to posting costs directly to GL house repair and settlemet rule is to be settled to CTR. After the change in configurations and settlement rule, we still cannot process settlement due to this error "Define a settlement cost element for receiver type CTR". Please help, i may have missed a step in system configurations. Thanks thanks

Check in OKO6 whether you have defined the required Settlement Cost Element to the allocation structure.

Blocking of Cost centre and activity type

Dear all,
Please tell me how to block cost centres and activity types which will no longer be used
best rgds,
Manoj

Hi,
There are two ways .
If you wish to use the cost center number for any other cost center , then you need to delete the cost center by KS04 & you need to mention the future period for which the same should deleted, normally, starting would be 1st day of next year to 31.12.9999
Keep in mind, cost center can only be deleted , if no data (Actual/Plan/reversal) is posted in it. You may do it , before starting next year's budget processing.
If you wish to just block the same , lock Actual primary/Secondary & Plan primary/Secondary in the control tab.

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.

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.

How to change validity period of cost centre or activity type

Hi
How to change validity period for an Activity type or Cost centre?
Can we change the validity period once created?
regards
Prakash

Please note this can be done.
Go to Edit Cost Center
Goto Edit, Analysis Period.
Create a new validity period say today until 3112999
Change the data you want and save.
When you go into the CC again it will show two validity periods.

Cost center and activity type

Hi,
how can I link a cost center to an activity type ?
Regards

Hi..
You can defined a activity type to a cost centre category not a particular cost centre.
Suppose you have one activity 99xxxx you can defined it to cost centres cat "P" for prod
you can defined it in KL01 activity master creation.
If you want to assign one specific activity to be used for a particular cost centre then creat the cost centre under spl cat and creat master data for activity type for that cat.

Cost Element Group & Cost Element

Hi Friends,
Can you please tell me how cost element groups are linked with individual cost elements(Primary and Secondary).
Is there any standard cost element groups are there. Please let me know.
Priya

Hi,
Cost element groups, like any other group for master data, is used for reporting purpose. By creating a group you unite certain objects and make it possible to present it as one entity in the reporting or use it in allocation processes. There is no such a thing as standard group, as the user chooses for himself how he wants uniting the elements.

Eli
