Indirect act alloc Vs BCS Activation

Hello,
The customization documentation to BCS component assignment - Fund and Func area tells that BCS is not supported for indirect activity allocation (RKIL).
I cannot understand - "is not supported" means that this operation never works with BCS active or it works correctly just some BCS functions are not available?
Has someone used RKIL (KSC5) with Fund and Func area active in 6.0?
Thanks,

Thanks a lot, its good news for us
Have you used IAA with BCS Active? Maybe we forgot some customizing?
FMDERIVE shows that all BCS assignments are derived, the Func area in cost center master data is present, but the F6804 error message (BLANK value of Fund) comes

  • Indirect costs allocated to specific activity type

    I am trying to take costs from an indorect cost centre, and based on cost element groups, post it into a specific (production) cost centre activity type.
    (I know the best way to do this is with KSCB, but the users entered thewrong master data in KP26, so it is either finding another solution, or recreate all the cost centres, with everything that that implies....)
    Currently I am assessing using separate secondaries for each activity type. But because they are secondaries, I cannot get them included into specific activities via KP06 at the direct production cost centre. Alternatively I am trying to get the spliiting to link the secondary to a specific activity type, but I am not getting that working.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Distributions rather than assessment?

    Now that I have actually assigned the splitting structure to the cost centre, it works a lot better....

  • Template allocation based on activity consumed by receiver object.

    Dear all,
    We want to allocate overhead from CTR/ActType to production orders, network activities and sales orders based on the amount of some other activity that has been booked on these receivers.
    When trying to create a template I cannot find the function to do this. Although this seems like a pretty standard allocation base for overhead.
    Can anyone one throw some light on this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Spimic

    Hi
    Ideally you should use Indirect Act allocation if you want to allocate from Cost Center / Act Type to Other receivers based on the Activity Qty in those receivers
    If its a one off case - you can use KB21N....
    You can use T code KCAU to change the nature of CO objects as Senders / Receivers

  • Memory could not be allocated for the activation process. Please close all applications and try agai

    I have just had a Windows XP failure and took the opportunity to replace with Windows 7.  After I reinstalled PhotoShop CS(1) the message "Memory could not be allocated for the activation process. Please close all applications and try again"  is shown and forces PhotoShop to close.  I have 4Gb of Ram installed and a total of about 10Gb of Page File space on three partitions of a 500Gb HDD.  The system is not heavily loaded!  However, I cannot access Photoshop to check scratch disk allocation.  How to fix???

  • Memory could not be allocated for the activation process. Please close all applications and tr again

    Hello,
    Just purchased a new laptop:
    Intel Core 2 quad
    4gb memory
    1000 HDD
    Photoshop CS 8.0 disc dead/scratched/unreadable.  So I copied my Adobe folder from my Program Files Folder on my PC and pasted on laptop.  When I try and run PS I get the error message "Memory could not be allocated for the activation process. Please close all applications and try again". Which I do then Photoshop closes.
    Can anyone help (in layman terms please)?

    Not really. You are essentially FUBARd. Without a proper install, there is usually no way on to get the licensing stuff working. You might be able to get there by installing any other CS product, so PS could latch on to the licensing system that would be already in place, but otherwise it's a lost cause. Simply copying over the executables is normally not enough. I will admit though, that I skipped CS, so there may be some tool somewhere that I don't know about can do this post facto...

  • Memory Could Not Be Allocated For the Activation of PhotoShop

    CS2 Intel P4 3.0GhzHT, 3-4GB Ram WinXP
    Photoshop won't open for me. It used to. Any idea how I might fix this?
    When I try to open Photoshop, I get "Memory could not be allocated for the activation process. Please close all applications and try again."
    I've done this with no applications after a fresh reboot and get the same message.
    It only started recently. Photoshop used to open for me and was usable.
    I got 3 or 4 GB of ram. I can't remember, but WinXP only sees about 3GB anyway. Either way should be more than enough, no?

    In terms of symptoms, PS opens up and once open the prompt comes up. I hit okay and it shuts down.
    i have tried CTRL + ALT + SHIFT whilst PS boots up; i get the prompt "ÿou currently have Adobe Photoshops primary Scratch and Windows' primary paging file on the same volume, which can result in reduced performance. It is reommmended that you set PS Primary Scratch Volume to be on a differrent volume, preferably on a different physical dirve."
    I guess this means reinstall, partition and  set up on a partitioned drive? I don't particularly want to take this course of action if there is an alternative. It doesn't make sense given I've got plenty of space.
    No no need for that!
    The message about the scratch drive is normal: the CTRL + ALT + SHIFT resets the preferences to the default for a single HDD. If you have more than one, go into Edit > Preferences > Performance and set the primary scratch drive to the one without the paging file.
    Once you have OK'd that message it should go away if you do only have one HDD.
    Partitioning will not do anything. The object of the separate drives (if you have them) is to avoid conflict between Scratch and Page file.
    Do you still have your original problem?

  • Steps for FM closing. we have BCS activated and annual and multiannual budg

    Hi,
    We are in ECC 6.0, BCS is activated, PBET is activated, master data are year independant, the update profile is 101 and annual and multiannual budget coexist in harmony using fund type.
    I am confused on the different steps to follow in order to close annual budget. For multiannual no necessary to have closing.
    Best regards
    Salvator

    Hi all,
    Here my conclusions about Closing issues when you have in parallel annual budget and multiannual budget in ECC 6
    Finally SAP is designed like this in ECC 6.
    When you activate multiannual budget in BCS and you have PBET acivated and Budget profile 0101 you can manage in parallel annual and overall budget
    Conditions
    >BCS is activated
    >independant year master data  commitment and funds centers
    >create fund types  annual and multiannual and the field funf type has to be mandatory
    >in fund master data add the fund type
    >activa multiannual budget
    >activate PBET
    >in BCS availability  checking horizon  say that by default the checking horizon is multiannual  
    >create a substitution checking horizon annual and fill the values fund type is annual
    example on multiannual budget
    I have an investment budget on FMAA 2008-A/76432/510000 of 1000 EUR in 2008
    In fund 2008-A i add fund type multiannual
    In 2008 i create a funds commitment of 600 EUR and ain invoice of 400 EUR
    in 2010 i can pay the invoice of 400 EUR without carryforward nothing
    In 2011 i can have an invoice of 200 EUR referencing the funds commitment created in 2008 without any carryforward
    Example of annual budget
    I have an operational annual budget on the FMAA 7000/70001/315000
    In the fund master 7000 i have added the fund type annual
    I create with FMBB an annual budget of 1000 EUR in 2008
    It is impossible to create  a funds commitment in 2009. Logic
    It is impossible to create an invoice in 2009. Logic
    In 2008 i have a funds commitment of 700 EUR and an invoice of 500 EUR consuming the funds commitment.
    I have another funds commitement of 300 EUR without any invoice in 2008
    Closing
    I don't want to use the last funds commitment of 300 EUR in 2009  i close it with tcode FMMC
    I want to pay in 2009 my invoice of 500 EUR. i don't need to carryforward nothing it is payable. This ok for public sector needs
    I want to create an invoice of the remaining open funds commitment 200 EUR in 2009. The system accept without carryforward. This is an issue because many clients would like to carryforward this earmarked fund. here i had many headeaches to convince the client. And SAP said the system is designed now like this. i don't know if in the future they will improve the system
    Briefly no needs to carryforward open items when you have activated multiannual budget in BCS ECC 6 anb PBET and you want to manage in parallel operational and investment budgets in FM
    Good luck to all

  • Delimit resource allocation date in activity element

    Hi Experts,
    This refers to workforce planning. We're using WBS team and allocate few resources at WBS first and then PM allocate the resources to activity element (CMP2) out of that WBS team. After sometime when resource is deallocated from that WBS, we're delimiting the date and want that it should happen on activity element automatically or system should deallocate the resources on activity element also while deallocating from WBS. But its not happeing but after delimiting from WBS, resource is still there at activity element level and we have to do it again to delimit in CMP2. Is there any solution? It will save a lot of time since deallocating hundreds of resources from activity element (CMP2) takes lot of efforts.
    Thanks in advance

  • Allocation of Costs from Cost center to COPA

    Hi
    We are booking costs to a Cost Center with reference to a Primary Cost Element. However, in month end, the same cost has to be transferred to COPA. One of the Characteristics in COPA is also Profit Center.
    The issue is that we can allocate costs from Cost centers to COPA through Assesement Rule, system requirement is for Assesement Cost Element, which is a secondary Cost element. In such a case, the PCA Balances, after execution of Assesement cycle are shown with the Secondary Cost Elements.
    In a case, I have booked costs of INR 100000 in a cost center 103007 against a Primary Cost Element 423101. Since Profit Center 103007 is assigned in Cost Center 103007, the Profit Center Line Items will show a balance of INR 100000 against cost element 423101 for Profit Center 103007.
    After this at month end, we need to allocate costs from Cost Center to COPA. But the requirement is that after allocation also, the balances should be shown against Cost Element 423101 for Profit Center 103007
    Regards
    Sanil

    Hi Sanil
    That is not possible.. There is no "Distribution cycle" available for COPA.. In COPA you can have either an Assessment Cycle or an Indirect Act Allocation or a Template Allocation...
    I dont know about template allocation as I have never used that, but gut feel says even that wont serve the purpose...
    One work around is you allocate from Cost Center to an Internal Order using Distribution cycle... Then Allocate from IO to COPA using assessment... In order to use IO as sender in allocation cycle, use note 605281
    At best, what you can do is to use an Allocation Structure instead of one single assessment cost element per Segment... Using an Alloc Str, you can map, say, GL Accounts for Basic Salary, DA, HRA to one Secondary cost element... This way, create logical groupings of GL accounts and map to multiple secondary cost elements
    But bear in mind, The more you use Secondary cost elements, the more will be the line items in CE1XXXX table...

  • Variable Costs using SKF in Indirect Activity Allocation

    Hello
    I am trying to use indirect activity allocations and KSPI to transfer costs from an activity in an indirect cost center to multiple direct cost centers. The Receiver tracing factor is planned SKF (i.e. number of employees). The issue I have is that when doing this allocation, the variable cost at the indirect cost center gets transferred as a fixed cost to the direct cost centers. We need to have this as a variable cost on the direct cost centers. Can anyone suggest anything or let me know if I'm doing something wrong?
    Here are my sender/receivers:
    Sender:
    Quantities Calculated Inversely
    Plan Values
    Receiver tracing factor:
    variable Portions
    Planned SKF
    No Scaling
    Thank you

    Hi Mark
    I was able to achieve this in the past...as below
    1. On the indirect Cost center - Use an activity type Catg 2 (indirect entry indirect allocation)
    2. On the receiver cost centers - Use an act type Catg 4 (Instead of SKF)
    3. Enter the Plan Act Qty for this Act Type on the receiver direct cost centers in KP26 and Actual Qty in KB51N
    4. In cycle definition - Var Portion Type would be based on Plan Act Qty instead of SKF
    5. Execute KSCB - Folllowed by KSPI.....
    You can also try the above using SKF on receiver cost centers - But Act Type Catg 2 on the Sender Indirect cost center.... I guess, this is what you have done... In my opinion, this should also work...
    I believe, to transfer the costs as variable - You need to plan them in KP06 as variable (i.e. Activity Dependant Planning)....
    So, Plan your expenses on the indirect cost center in KP06 with reference to the Act Type Category 2

  • What's the diff betweeen Direct & Indirect Activity All

    Hello Experts,
    please lemme know the diff between Direct Activity Allocation & Indirect Activity Allocation.

    Hi Hussein,
    Direct Activity Allocation and Indirect Activity Allocation
    Hi Joshi,
    Direct activity allocation involves the measuring, recording, and allocating of business services performed. To do this, you must create the relevant (measurable) tracing factors (allocation bases which can be used as cost drivers). In Cost Center Accounting these are known as activity types. Activity allocation occurs, for example, when business transactions are confirmed or when posting activity quantities to accounts. The system multiplies the activity produced by the price of the activity type.
    To do so, for the cost centers or business processes involved, you must plan activity types either using prices set manually or using subsequent iterative price calculation.
    If the receiver of the activity allocation is not a cost object (such as, cost center, business process, or internal order), then the following applies: If no price was set manually, then the plan price is used. If you have not executed an iterative price calculation, then the manually set price for the activity type is used for direct activity allocation (the price in the plan/actual (000) version).
    If the receiver of the activity allocation is a cost object (such as, a production order or a product cost collector), then the price used for valuation is determined according to the valuation variant (which is linked to the cost object for the simultaneous costing via the costing variant). If the receiving cost object is not linked to a costing variant for the simultaneous costing, then the plan price for the valuation period is used.
    The service cost center "Plumbers" (1000) performs 2 hours of the activity type "Repairs" for production cost center "H" (5000). The plan price for the repairs activity type is USD 15 per hour. In direct activity allocation, this price is valuated as follows:
    2 hrs X 15 USD/hr = 30 USD
    The u201CPlumbersu201D cost center is credited with this amount and the HI production cost center is debited correspondingly.
    Indirect activity allocation can be used to automatically allocate planned and actual activities.
    You can specify keys to allocate activity, which is not possible when you use manual activity input in the plan or actual activity allocation. In addition, if calculating the sender activity quantities involves too much time or expense, the system can determine the activity quantity inversely based on the activity of the receivers.
    If you execute indirect activity allocation without completing planning for the combination cost center/activity type, you must activate the actual price indicator in the activity type master data.
    A special type of indirect activity allocation for actual allocation is the plan=actual activity allocation. In contrast to other types of indirect activity allocation, the plan=actual activity allocation allows for a multiple level activity network to be determined iteratively with the operating rate as the tracing factor.
    You can choose between two methods of indirect activity allocation, depending on the activity types category. These methods are determined for each segment and can be combined in one cycle.
    Activity quantities can be determined on the sender object:
    For certain activity types you can determine the total activity quantity for each sender. These are category 3 activity types, Manual entry, indirect allocation.
    Using indirect activity allocation, these posted activity quantities are distributed by the senders among the receivers defined in the segment according to their allocation bases. The corresponding segment must use the sender rule Posted quantities. Any receiver rule can be used, with the exception of Fixed quantities.
    The Quality control cost center uses 1000 hours of the Testing activity type. This cost center provides activity for the cost centers Goods receipt and Finished products. Allocations are made on the basis of the tracing factor Number of test items (TI). These are 4000 items for the Goods receipt cost center and 6000 items for Finished products. This corresponds to an activity input of 400 hours for Goods receipt and 600 hours for Finished products.
    The price per activity unit for the Quality control cost center is 50 USD/hr. This results in activity output costs of 50,000 USD. The receiver cost centers are debited with the following costs based on the tracing factor TI.
    Goods receipt: (50,000 USD X 4000 TI) / 10,000 TI = 20,000 USD
    Finished products: (50,000 USD X 6.000 TI) / 10,000 TI = 30,000 USD
    Pls revert back for futher explanation...
