Training and event management - Internal Activity Allocation for Attendees(PV18)
Dear all,
I run the PV18 transaction (Internal Activity Allocation for Attendees). Lets imagine that I successfully allocated 1000 EUR in the CO module. Then I realize that it was a mistake, and I want to correct this by sending -1000 EUR to CO.
My question is: how can I do that? Is PV18 capable of doing this? Or this has to be corrected manually in CO module?
Thanks
Nándor>>I tried to create it and the system generated a message about using the allowed name space.
if it is a warning message, I think, you can go ahead & create the HRTEM entry in TTYP table.. you can check if this will let you get past the Activity Allocation.

Define Cost Elements Range for Internal Activity Allocation
Dear All,
I have the following scenario, for SAP standard they have defined the Secondary Cost Elemenets 641000 - 641999 as the Internal Activity Allocation. I would like to ask where in SPRO configuration can I change this range with my own custom Secondary Cost Elements 400000 - 499999.
ThanksI have not come across any SAP standard number range. They are client specific.
Also your question regarding number range for Secondary cost elements is not clear. For creation of same you dont require any number range I suppose.
Number range in SPRO can be maintained in KANK

Modify posting period in KB65 - Internal Activity Allocation reposting
Hi Gurus,
I have lots of documents originally created in CATS.
The user who did the CAT7 transfer made a mistake and put in posting date (01.03.2010) on the selection screen of CAT7. All items have been posted on 01.03.2010 instead of the original date of the records in CATS.
When I try to repost these items in KB65 and modify the posting date to February, 2010 the system issues an error message (BK214) that the new posting period is earlier than original and it is not possible to modify.
Message BK214 can't be switched off either.
Is there any chance to bypass this? Or any other idea how to modify the posting date of these items from March to February?
Thanks,
JenoTry KB21n......we used to change the activity allocation through this transaction.....should work in your case
Thanks

Cancellation Error during Internal Activity Allocation in Event Management
Hi,
we use Internel Activity Allocation in Event Management.
The User wanted to cancel a document, so he did.
But now the status is (red-lihted) "Error in doc. cancellation 1".
Our systems, R/3 and HR, are located on the same server.
How could I cancel the document now?
Do I have to post the same negative worth in CO?

Difference between Direct activity allocation and internal activity allocat
Hello
I am pursuing SAP Management Accounting certification
Can somebody tell me what's the difference between direct activity allocation and internal activity allocation. Please give some example and also specifications as to cost element categorry, activity type, etc.
Asif
Moderator: Please, do not post certification queries. Regarding your issue, please, refer to help.sap.comHi,
Activity means e.g.. sales call, customer visit etc.
But service process means after you sale your product if some service related issue arrives then that is taken care by this transaction.

Actual activity allocation / revaluation
Hi All,
My company is using SAP ISH (healthcare) in order to book Services to patient cases. We have linked the Services to some activity types which are generated by the Performing Unit in ISH. The Performing unit is linked to a cost centre in CO where the planned Activity rate has been set up (KP26). The patient case is linked 1:1 with an internal order in CO which receives the activity posting.
My company would like to ensure that all of the costs relevant to these activities are allocated out of the cost centre on to the receiving internal orders at month end. I have not worked in CO for a few years but I believe that this will involve a couple of steps in the month end process.
1 Re-calculate the actual activity prices
2 Revalue the actual postings
Each cost centre generates 2 or more activities which need to be valued. Example below
Performing unit THEATRE1 - Operating theatre, performs operations on 2 patient cases
CASE1 - Knee replacement
Activity type - Consumables = 100 units @ £2ea = £200
Drugs = 10 units @ £30ea = £300
CASE2 - Hip Replacement
Activity type - Consumables = 200 units @ £2ea = £400
Drugs = 50 units @ £30ea = £1500
Total credit to the THEATRE1 cost centre
Consumables - £600
Drugs - £1800
At month end the actual costs posted to the cost centre are as follows
Consumables - £800
Drugs - £2000
In order to credit the full amount to the Internal orders from the cost centre the prices must be recalculated and the activity allocation transactions need to be revalued.
Can you please confirm the steps to configure the month end price calculation (specifically around the splitting rule on the cost centre to determine which costs belong to which activity type), and steps to process the revaluation of the transactions?
Many thanks
PhilHi Philip,
When u work with cost center independent planning system can't underunderstand which GL account and cost center should plan with respective activity. For that reason we create splitting structures.
Cost center splitting is used in Cost Center Independent Planning where in KP06 you have cost center and cost element only. In this screen, you will not find Activity.
So, to give a relationship between Cost center, cost element, and activity, we will do splitting structure in OKES, and assign it to cost center in OKEW.
When you do KSS2, it will split the costs based on the splitting structure between activities and cost centers.
In this case, you have to maintain qty values in KP26 and later do KP06.
E.g.: we have 3 cost elements:
Salary - 100000
Depreciation - 200000
Electricity - 100000
Total = 400000
Activities:
Labour - 500 hrs
Machine - 1000 hrs
Total = 1500 hrs.
Here, when u calculate per hour rate system wi'll consider total amount / total activity hours.
= 400000/1500 = 226 INR/per hour
Here, if you want to consider salary amount only with Labour hours and deprecation and electricity for machine hours.
For this we will create splitting structure to provide link between cost elements and activity.
In the alove example salaries Wilkinson be linked to labour activity abduction dep and electricity will be linked to .machine hours.
When you run KSPI it will split the cost between respective cost elements and activities. Here, for salary per hour cost would be 100000/500 = 200 per hour.
Also machine per hour rate would be 300000/1000 hours = 300 per hour.
Same will happen in the case of KSII. I.e. actual cost/ activity hours Between respective cost elements and activity.
Hope you understand the basic concept of splitting structure.

Interest Posting Periodic Allocation from Project System
Guys,
I am creating an automatic interest posting as part of the periodic allocations from the project system. We have new GL active and run parallel ledgers. The FI posting is into all ledgers, any idea how I can control posting to one ledger only?
Kind regards,
RudolfHi Anantharam,
I tried defining an extract layout which assigned to the project type I am using and then creating an evaluation layout using the extract layout.
However, it didn't really work as expected. In my scenario actual costs originate in cProjects (when the task is completed and the actual number of hours are entered in the confirmation field). Actual costs are not captured in the internal order. In this case if I define an evaluation will it update the actual cost if I define threshold value formula as follows (for testing I made it actual = planned just to see if I get a value).
actual cost = confirmation * unit cost for task/role
If the above is possible;
1. How do I define the attribute and object types for unit cost for task/role which is based on the cost/revenue rates setup for the role? For example how do I find out the values for attribute and type name fields?
2. I was under the impression that evaluations can only generate a report based on the existing values and update the criticality level field a threshold condition is defined. Is my understanding of this function incorrect?
Apologies for all the questions, but I am still unclear how to update the actual cost which originates as result of cProject task confirmation to the internal order.
Thanks for your help so far and appreciate if you provide some guidance on how I can get this working.
Cheers,

Internal activity material cost not displayed in report s_alr_87013558
Hi all,
I have an material attached to the internal activity.
this internal activity is inturn attached to a network
which inturn attached to a WBS.
After the PR and PO creation of the material attached
the cost report s_alr_87013558 shows values in the
WBS element not in the network activity to the material
was attached
How to catch the cost value to network activity instead of WBS elment
Can anybody have a clue why it is happening
Thanks and Regards
pvhi sreenivas,
thank you for the suggestion
in budget report the actual and commitment value is pulled
to respective network activity or wbs element depending upon the account assignment category during the automatic PR
creation from CJ20n
In my scenario during automatic PR creation it is Q(project make to order) instead of N(network).
Can you throw some light to this where in
i can generate auto PR with account assgnment category N
for a material attached to network through internal activity
Note:
to catch the cost we also need to activate the cost rel indicator in purchasing doc tab for material in cj20n
regards

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 youHi 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

MASS REVERSAL OF ACTIVITY ALLOCATION
Hi,
Could you please give Transaction code for mass reversal of activity allocation.
With regards,
V.kHi Krishnam,
Either plan or actual activity price calculation KSPI or KSII, you choose extrast -> reset from the top menu after you fill in all data like period, year, cost center group etc. Please note that you can not simulate reversal that means no test indicator when you want to reset the price calculation.

POC calculations of internal activity and service activities
Hi,
I need some help regarding POC.
In the scenario, I am using two activities----Internal and service.
The internal Activity is used only for scheduling and confirmation of activities. There is a work center attached to it, but there is no cost attached to it.
The service activity is only related to cost.
Now, I want to calculate the POC for internal activity similar to the MSP i.e, POC calculated at the activity level will role up to give the POC at the WBS level ( this POC will be related to the POC as per the confirmation of the work that is the actual % of completion).
To calculate the EV only the cost from the service activity will work. i.e, the actual cost which is coming from the RA Bill (ML81n) and the planned cost from the services in the service activity. So this POC will be different from the POC calculate in the internal activity confirmation.
How to map both the scenarios in the same project ?
Kindly furnish some idea.
Regards,
A. BoseHi Abhra,
You can use both activity types if required but I would recommed you to look up on the three types of activities so that you are able to choose the best option that fits your business requirement:
1) Internal
2) External
3) Service
You can use confirmations for both service as well as internal activities. This will help you with your POC calculation as the values will be aggregated to the WBS level. I tried to inquire from you which EV method you are using because that may assist you in determining the POC of activities (either service or internal) based on specific requirements.
Now for EV to work you need to plan cost at the activity level for fair reflection (please note that this is also aggregated at the WBS level therefore if you do not plan cost at activity level, you will however get some estimated value at the WBS) of earned value. Based on your statements, I assume that EV is being calculated for the service activity correctly (as it has planned and probably actual cost) but not for the internal activity. I'm afraid without planned and actual cost, EV cannot be calculated. Have you tried using cost from the work center (which is assigned to a cost center)? You may use activity types in the confirmations as well.
Please let me know if this is what you were looking for.

Syed Ammar Zaheer
