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.

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.

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 .

Send cost centre and attendence type not filled automatically

Hello,
I am configuring the time recording in ESS. I configured the recording profile and in cats2 it looks good. The send cost centre and attendence type get filled automatically. But when I do the same thing in ESS the values are not populated. Is there something I have to take into account in order to get this done?
Thanks a lot, Vanessa

Dear Venessa,
Please note that in contrast to personal templates, which enable you to prefill the data entry area when you start time recording, the system first displays default values when you create a new account assignment row with one receiver object and at least one working time.The system only proposes default values when you create a new account assignment row. In ESS, this is correct, because it does not make sense to provide default values for the sender cost center and activity type if you are only entering an attendance or absence type.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Roy

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.

NareN.

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.

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.

Timesheet Booking - Master record for CC and Activity Type

Hi All,
We have maintained the Personnel number HR Master Data for Info Type = 315 as follows:
Period: Start 01.02.2010 to 31.12.9999
Sender Cost Center: 101067106
Activity Type: 007000
Period: Start 01.05.2009 to 31.01.2010
Sender Cost Center: 101067101
Activity Type: 006240
I am trying to book/edit the time for Week 04.2010 [Data Entry Period 25.01.2010 - 31.01.2010] in CAT2 Transaction Code then getting an error message as-
u201CCreate a master record for 101067106/007000u201D
Message no. KL001
Also Price Planning is not yet done for new/latest combination of CC and Activity Type i.e. Period: Start 01.02.2010 to 31.12.9999
I think system is picking up latest/current Cost Center and Activity Type in an error message and not according to Data entry Period entered CC and Activity type in CAT2.
Also one thing we have observed that in CAT2 Transaction Code CC filed is showing current Period cost Center only for all Period.
Is it standard behaviour from Logic point of view.?
Please suggest the solution regarding the above mentioned situation.
Many Thanks in advance.

note that
When are default values used from the employee master record?
The default values are only used for new CATS records, not for changing,
not for copying. If you also want to use the default values changing,
not for copying. If you also want to use the default values from the
employee master record when changing and copying from the work list, you
can use SAP enhancement CATS0002.
The system only uses default values, if you enter a number of hours and
choose 'Return'.
The cost center from infotype 0001 ('Organizational Assignment') is
proposed, if in Customizing of the data entry profile, you selected the
'Master cost center' field in the 'Default values' area.
The system proposes the cost center and the activity type from infotype
0315 ('Time Sheet Defaults'), if in Customizing of the data entry
profile you selected the 'Cost center' field (or the 'Activity type'
field).
If you have chosen both fields, the cost center from infotype 0315 has
priority, if you have defined it for the corresponding period.
read the note 333884 it explains that only creating new values the data from 0315 defaults

How to Capture Multiple Cost centres and Business Unit information in a project?

Dear Experts,
With the help of UDA functionality in project super responsibility, I have captured Cost centre and Business unit information and this info will be used/reflected in CC and BU segments of all transactions gets recorded against that project.
Now, our user wish to have multiple cost centres and business units to be tracked in the same one project. How is this feasible? Below example describes my requirement in a summary, please advise.
An Indirect project is created when a defect on a machine reported from client's customer and all subsequent activities (purchases, travel to customer site to analyse and troubleshoot, purchases for any in-house analysis etc..involves costs spending internally) in resolving that defect/project involves 6 to 7 different departments (Sales, Tech Support, Quality team etc.,who actually work/travel and spend costs against project until defect resolution). And, each of the above departments will have 1 dedicated owner (project owners) to manage that project and each of these 6 or 7 owners owners will have their own cost centres (eg: 2345 - Sales team) against which they wish to see their transactions (travel, purchases during defect resolution) globally.
So, all I want to know is how can I make one single project to accommodate multiple cost centresand business unit information to be assigned using UDA? Please let me know if I am not clear.
Regards
Venkat

I think you should use the expenditure organization on the transaction itself to derive the CC/BU. Have AA lookups and define AA rules where you look at a Exp Org to BU or Cost Center to derive accounting.

Delimiting Cost Centre and Delimiting Company Code

Hi Team,
There is a business scenario I want to discuss and get your opinions;
A Country's Currency is changing from 01012009; I am getting stuck when I reach the cost Centres.
When i come to Cost Centre, is there a way where I can modify the Currency in the cost Centre and retain the earlier record delimited. If this is not possible then I guess the only other way os to create new cost cnetres with similar master data with new currency getting defaulted from the Company code table and assigning them accordingly. Am I right ?
A quick response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Naveen

Cost centre and Profit centre in one query - Authorisations not working!

Hiya,
I have another problem related to Analysis Authorisations.
I have created an AA with Cost Centre and Profit centre access restricted to a certain node of a hierarchy (type 1 - this node and below). For example, the User can only run a query at Cost Centres level of Country Belgium - the query works fine. Now, the user wants to drill down by the relevant Profit centres. According to the log, the system checks for Profit centres like * and says the user is not authorised. All this, despite the fact that all Profit centres belong to country Belgium and user has been given access to see these profit centres.
What do I need to do to enable drilldown by Profit centre? I can't make a "*" access to Profit centre as the user will be able to run other queries at global level, which is not what I can allow.
Any suggestions?

Hello,
I don't know if it is relevant, but I had a similar problem when I had two characteristic each with hierarchy restrictions in one authorization object.
I "solved" it by separting each characteristic into its own authorization object.
