Plan Activity rate coming wrong

Hi Gurus,
Plan Activity rate coming wrong while im creating production order.
In kp26 the prices are assebly 500 rs and Set up IS 500 RS.
In routing hours maintained is assemly 200 , setup 200 hrs
price should come in production order as assebly 100000 and set up is 100000,
but system not calculating price as above , its give price as 95000(apox) for assebly and set up is 97000 like that its showing.

Hi
The issue seems to be with Periodic Rate and Average rate for the year
Check your Valuation Variant for Prod Orders as to which rate it uses Vs which rate you want

Process after planning activity rates in CO

Hi:
My question may sound very basic to you but please bear with me as i am new to this process. I have defined planned activity rates for two cost centers in CO.. Now i want to do the PP process using these cost centers. These cost centers contains rate for FOH,VOH and LABOR. I want to do PP process because only then i will be able to create standard cost estimate run and actual price calculation with variance analysis. We open process order as we are in fast moving consumer group company. Please guide me through the process. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Br

Hi,
If standard cost estimate is your goal, process orders have nothing to do with it.
Afterwards, you will be able to do cost object controlling, to control production costs.
These subjects are vast, and I don't think that you should expect to learn them in such a forum. Nevertheless, provided that your CO settings for standard cost estimate exist and are correct, on the PP side you need to have the so called "quantity structure", which basically covers your variable costs; in other words, a BOM and a Master Recepie.
In the phase of a MR you use a resource; you should link the cost center to the resource, and the avtivity type to the phase standard values.
Then you are able to run the SCE. There's also a later procedure of releasing these estimates.
Production cost controlling is even more complex.
In general, I think that it is a good idea that you get help from a knowledgeable person in the beginning.

KSII doesn't recalculate activity rates

Hi,
I've taken the following steps in order to configure cost splitting through activity types:
Configured transactions OKEQ and OKET
Created an activity type in KL01
Created a splitting structure in OKES, defining cost splitting to a certain group of cost element and an activity type
Associated the cost centers to the splitting structure in OKEW
Planned activity rates in t-code KP26
and, after real expenses posts...
executed transaction KSS2 (and it seems to be ok. The activity type appears on the details screen, etc.)
executed transaction KSII (as a test)
But, the real price isn't recalculated. The activity price planned (KP26) was:
Capacity: 176h - Unit.P $ 200,00.
Real posts were:
5h of activity (that generated posts of $ 1.000,00), and $ 5.500,00 of fixed costs in the period.
So, I'm trying to recalculate the activity rates in order to split the other $ 4.500,00 not alocated.
But, KSII doesn't update the activity rates. It keeps the planned values.
Is there any other configuration I'm forgetting?

All the relevant screens...
KL02
OKES
REPORT
KSPI
KSS2
And after KSII...
KBK6
KSTB

Planning Layout for Activity Rate

Hi
My Client is a German Company. Controlling Area currency is EURO, It has operations in India also.
For India, required to create BDC for Activity rate planning.
1. Is it necessary to create separate Planning Layout for INR currency?..I did not find any currency in standard layout.
2. Please explain how it works. whether it takes Cost Center currency or Controlling Area currency?
Regards
Pradeep Veer
Edited by: Pradeep Veer on Feb 9, 2011 7:13 AM

Hi,
The standard setting for the leading currency plans the transaction currency for costs and the controlling area currency for prices. This is the Standard design. Please review 100379 & 183556 for further information on this.
Please pay attention to the following section of note 100379:
'Note: you can only change these settings in the following Transactions: KP97 (as of Release 3.1I) and KP98 (as of Release
4.6), as well as CP97 and CP98 (as of Release 4.6C). However, you should only carry this out after you have taken Note 183556 into account.'

Activity Rate Planning

Hi,
i wanted to know that is there any way where system proposes the activity rate for the next month.
For Example..we have maintained activity Rate for Period 1 in KP26, for the next period i.e. 2 before updating the same in KP26 is there any functionality available where system proposes the activity Rate for the next period.
If it exist the how it works.
Regards,
Vivek

HI,
what do you mean "propose"? You can do the CO-OM planning process and calculate activity rates (maybe for the whole fiscal year) or enter the rate manually for all periods of a fiscal year at once, but a "proposal" from SAP does not exist for your next months activity rate.
Best regards, Christian

Wrong activity rate pickup

Dear experts,
when I am doing cost estimate thru CK11 , system is not picking the current activity rates . The current rates are correctly updated in KP26. The valuation strategy is " plan price as average of remaining period of fiscal year". Can anyone please explain in detail, how this average is calculated?
I have seen that system is picking last FY's rates. Why is this happening?
urgently in need of help
Vijaya

Hi,
Please check the Check Box for Average Price
If it is checked then it means that activity prices for cost centers/activity types remain constant for the entire fiscal year
This takes place either on the version level or per cost center/activity type in planning.
1. Version
Activity prices for cost centers/activity types remain constant for the entire fiscal year in the version. The total plan costs and activity are taken into account when activity prices are calculated. Monthly fluctuations are ignored. Activate the "Average activity price" indicator from the fiscal-year dependent version parameters in the version as a planning method.
2. Cost center/activity type
If you have not defined an average activity price for your version, you can define a constant activity price for the fiscal year for individual cost centers/activity types. Activity price calculation smoothes out fluctuations in the cost center/activity type activity price. Activate the appropriate indicator in activity type planning.
A default value for planning can be saved in the activity type master record. This value can be overwritten during planning.
If you have checked box for Average Price then you should remove it according to above explanation.
I hope you found it useful.
Regards,
Jigar

Actual or plan activity as var portion type in cylce

hi,
i see in receiver tracing factor in cycle, there is a variable portion type actual activity and plan activity.
May I know what is the use if we choose actual activity or plan activity because normally we are using SKF.
For AT, normally it is fixed where rate in kp46 and quantity in kb21n.
may i know if there is actual or plan activity in cycle receiver tracing factor, how can it work? i mean where to define the rate and quantity?
thanks

Variable portions indicate that the tracing factors are determined automatically from the totals record file. You define the criteria for this database access in the    Tracing Factor screen.
As an example,   Sender A distributes $100,000 to three receivers. The tracing factors are the actual costs.
   Receiver             Cost Element         Amount
   B                    430000               $2000
   C                    430000               $1000
   D                    430000               $2000
       Total       $5000
       The SAP system calculates the following values:
       Receiver B: 100,000/5000 X 2000 = $40,000
       Receiver C: 100,000/5000 X 1000 = $20,000
       Receiver D: 100,000/5000 X 2000 = $40,000
Actual consumption is also similar to above, in the sense that it reads the value in cost elements of the receivers objects. Whereas actual activity will make the tracing factor to read the values posted in the activity types.
You can see the Receiving tracing factor change as you change the type.

Activity Rate change

Hello Gurus,
I want to know how to change the activity price rate manually and also
Last month production order also I want to change the new activity rate (confirmed orders)
Can anyone give me the clarity on this,
(because I have confused on the below t code KP06,KP26 ,KBK6,KSII,KPSI,MFN1)
Regards
Sri

Hello Sri
Changing the price in KP26 now will not serve any purpose. You can not run the standard cost run at back date. The standard cost takes the planned activity price (if so configured). So your standard cost will remain the same. As far as charging to production orders is concerned, this will be taken care of by the revaluation. It does not make any difference if you update the KP26 plan and then confirm the production orders and then run the revaluation or you run the revaluation now. The total amount of the activities will be the same.
So I suggest you run the cycle for revaluation at actual prices rather than changing the KP26 rate. For the next month you may update the KP26 plan. The T. Codes you use for the entire cycle are as below:
KSU5 Execute actual assessment cycle (If you have assessment cycles defined)
KSS2 Actual cost splitting
KSII Actual price determination
CON2 Actual revaluation of orders
This is a month end process.
Trust this helps.
Best,
Sangram

Revaluation of actual activity rates

<MODERATOR: please post in the appropriate forum.>
Dear all,
My client is having make to order scenario in which at the time of production order confirmation (co14) actual activity is confirmned and loaded to production order as per planned acticity rates maintained in kp26
i.e actual activity * planned rate , but when actual costs of activities are debited to cost center for these activities there is under/over absorption in cost centers .So i want to know what is to be done for these absorptions .Through sap help i came to know about revaluation tool at actuals ,but how it is done kindly provide some suggestions or any other method of knocking off over /under absorption so that cost of product should be according to actual activity*actual rate.
Thanks and regards

Hi Vijay,
I do not have any documentation but I can you the splitting concept one more time. It is more important to understand the concept.
Suppose you have a cost center 1000 that produces 3 activities in a month. You incur lot of expenses in the cost center, say $10,000, out of which $4,000 are fixed costs, which means these costs can not be identified to one particular activity. There are 10 cost elements which contribute to these costs.
The other $6,000 are incurred due to activity 1, 2 and 3. There are 5 cost elements which cause these costs.
Using KP06, you need pair the activity dependent cost elements to the respective activity types and plan the costs.
This way you can separate variable costs from the fixed costs.
Splitting job splits the acitivity independent (fixed) costs to 3 activities in the ratio that you set in KP26. You need to assign equivalence numbers in KP26 for each activity type. Let us say you assigned 1, 3 and 5.
Once you make the above settings, the splitting job will split $4,000 into the 3 activity types into the ratio of 1, 3 and 5.
When you run KSII, activity price is calculated for each activity, which will be the total costs per activity divided by the actual activity output. So, the KP06 costs will be added to the split costs to determine the activity price.
Please try the above concept and the t-codes and settings I mentioned yourself and let me know if you face any problems.

ACTUAL ACTIVITY RATE CALCULATION

Hi Gurus,
Is it possible to calaculate actual activity rate based on plan hours......
I know that we can splitt the actual cost based on plan hours by selecting splitting rule 22...
Now im doing actul activity rate calculation through ksii...
Then system considering actul hours confirmed in production for actual activity calculation.....
Pls suggest me.
RAM

Thank you for prompt reply.
Suppose this month we have produced only . 10 finished products.... But actual capacity is 20..... What ever cost moniterd by the production cost centers will be loaded on total 10 products only at the time of revaluation of production orders if we calaculate actul activity rate based on actual hours....... so the cost of the product is getting increased... so that he want to calculate actual rate aslo with planned hours..... Is there any other solution for this..
Pls suggest me ...... its very urgent.
Ram

KP26 need to allow the Activity rates by Date instead of period

Dear Friends
Currently KP26 only allows you to enter activity rates by period.
To simulate the product cost during off season we need the to load rates
Do you have any ideas to overcome this?
Thanks
SB

HI,
activity rates are planned/stored per period+year not for a single date.
Create a planning layout (T-code KP75) by copying an existing suitable layout and remove the period from the general data section. Create a new lead column using "period".
Add this layout to the planner profile used and plan the act. rates per period.
Best regards, Christian

Activity Rates

Hi Friends
In our project, product costing is carried out in 2nd phase which is yet to start. In 1st phase we just have to configure controlling area, cost elements, cost centres etc.
In PP we have to assign each work center to cost center.
Our PP guy wants to assign activity types to work centers also.
these activity types are Labor hours & Machine Hours.
Suppose we dont want to plan activity prices for cost centers now i.e. KP26,then whether it will affect any operations in PP module??
It means will it show any errors in PP while doing order creation, or order settlement???

Dear Mr.Rahul,
1.In T code - KL01,first you have to create Activity types like Labor type, Machine
type.
2.Using T code KP26 - you have to assign one or more than one activity type for a
cost centre.For the period 1 to 12,year 2008,cost centre,activity type you fix a
fixed amount or variable amount on per hour basis.That's your wish.
3.In work center creation - CR01,under Costing Tab we link (assign) the cost
centre which are planning.
For Eg :In some work centre only machine activity might happen,so here u have to
assign the cost centre where only machine activity has been assigned.
In some work centres both activity might ba happening,so assign a cost centre
where both activity types are included.
4.During routing creation for the HALB & FERT materials using T code CA01,for
each operation you will be mentioning on which work center it happens.
5.If you are not assigning any activity type for your work centre,while doing the
cost roll up& release,you may be facing some problem since the activity rate is
not mentioned for your work centre.
In case of any query revert to forum.
If useful reward points.

How can I get "Activity Rate"

When I have an activty number and how can I get this activity rate.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Simon,
Open your project in project builder using CJ20N t-code. Click on the required Internal activity, In the internal tab you will be able to view the activity element and respectivity cost center note down.
Use t-code kp26, It moves to SCR: change activity type / price planning: initial screen, Enter from period 1 to period 12 required fiscal year, cost center and activity type & Click on Overview button it will move to SCR: change activity type / price planning: overview screen and the rate in price (fixed) or Variable pric is the rate assigned. You can change if required and save.
Rgds,
Pradeep
