Planning activity price in various currency

Hi,
I have controlling area with currency EUR and two company code linked to it:
Company code A with currency EUR
Company code B with currency MXN
Is there any way to plan activity price in USD?
Thanks in advance
Regards

Hi ,
THere are 3 currencies which are available in CO. One is the CO Area currency ( the currency maintained in the CO Area ) , Second is the Object currency ( the currency maintained in the Object , if it is a Cost Center , then the Object currency will be the Company code currency to which the CC belongs to ) and Third is the Transaction currency ( the currency in which a transaction is posted , be it Plan transaction or Actual transactions ) .
You can enter cost element planning using any of those currencies ( by creating user defined layouts if std layouts do not suffice requirements ).
Activity output has to be planned in terms of quantities in Cost Centers.
Activity price is to be computed automatically in the system ( recommended ) . Activity prices are always maintained in only two currencies , Object currency and Co Area currency. All activity transactions will happen using the Object currency so that the absorption on Cost Centers is always proper.
We cannot have activity prices maintained in transaction currencies. Is there a real justification and a business reason to have the price to be maintained in USD ? Please let me know.
Regards,
Venkat.

Plan activity price change (how to trace the change documents)

Hi Gurus,
In KP26 the plan price is 10 but later (Both the prices are in same period) decided as 10.50 and posted the same.In the report i can see the current plan price 10.50 only.Is there any report that i can trace the first plan value 10.
For ex if i have posted 3 plan documents in KP26 by overwriting one bye one, i can see only the last one.how i can trace the first 2 documents.

You have to mark 'Plan integration' indicator in plan version settings for CO Area / Fiscal Year dependent data.
Unfortunatelly you cannot mark it if any plan data exist. Otherwise plan lane items are overwritten.

Activity prices in KP26 used for actual and plan in version 0

We plan activity prices via KP26 in version 0. We then plan activity consumption via KP06, and run the plan reconciliation via KPSI.
During the year, we need to update the activity prices used in actual activity allocation. This price also comes from version 0.
When we change the activity price, the planned amounts change also. We are looking for a way to maintain a separate price for actual activity allocation.

Ajay,
Your answer definitely sent me down the right path...thank you!
For other's benefit, these are the steps I took to make this work:
1) set the "Purely Iter. Price" indicator in plan version 0
2) import planning layout 1-N01 from client 000 (OBKF)
3) add planning area "Cctr: Manual actual prices" to planning layout SAPALL (KP34)
4) add planning layout 1-N01 to planner profile SAPALL (KP34)
5) create and run custom program from note 551309 to add cost element field to the input screen in KBK6 (SE38)
6) transport planning layout for planning area "Cctr: Manual actual prices" (OKEX)
Now we can plan a price in KP26, and maintain a different price in KBK6 which is used in the actual activity allocation.
Thanks again,
Linda

KSII activity prices not calculation (actual)

Hi
During Actual Price calculation KSII following is error message :
All activity prices are manually entered
Message no. KP211
Diagnosis
All activity prices in controlling area HGC, fiscal year 2011, and version 0 were determined and set as manually entered prices.
In actual price calculation, all plan activity prices, meaning those calculated automatically (activity price indicator 1 and 2) and those set manually (activity price indicator 3), are treated as if they have been set manually.
System Response
The SAP System cannot calculate activity prices automatically.
Processing is cancelled.
Procedure
Check your activity type planning. To calculate the activity price automatically, you must set the activity price indicator accordingly.

Hi Imdad
Go to KL02 and set your Actual Price Indicator so that it allows to calculate Actual Price through system
There are 2 such fields - Plan Price Indicator and Actual Price Indicator... I think you have presently chosen MANUAL price indicator

Activity prices maintained manually..Is KSII/MFN1 possible?

Hi Experts,
We have this scenario:
1. Activity prices are entered manually in KP26.
2. All Costs are maintained as Activity independent costs.
3. For Production Cost centers, some costs (primary costs) are Activity relevant and others not relevant at all for Activity.
4. No Splitting structure maintained so far.
Now, we are considering calculating Actual Activity prices through KSII and then MFN1 for revaluating Process orders.
I tried KSII in our test system, where I got the following error message # KP211. I even tried by maintaining the Actual Activity type category '01' and Actual price indicator '05' in AT master, but no luck.
Short Text
All activity prices are manually entered
Diagnosis
All activity prices in controlling area , fiscal year , and version were determined and set as manually entered prices.
In actual price calculation, all plan activity prices, meaning those calculated automatically (activity price indicator 1 and 2) and those set manually (activity price indicator 3), are treated as if they have been set manually.
System Response

Procedure
Check your activity type planning. To calculate the activity price automatically, you must set the activity price indicator accordingly.
Proceed
Questions:
1.Given our case, is it possible to do KSII/MFN1? If yes, what configuration and master setup is required?
2. What accounting/CO entry posted MFN1. Especially, want to know if value also posted to CO-PA?
Thanks much for your time.
SC

Hi SC, 
 
sorry for my delay. 
 
Yes, you can process KSII even if you maintained planned activity prices manually. For this, the Activity type master should be activity price indicator "5" for Actual, hoever it's defalt value for planning (KP26). 
Could you check activity planning value in your period as follows; 
 
1. Go to transaction KP26 
2. Selection screen; 
 Set your version and year/period and also cost center/activity types in problem. 
 Push Next Layout button (Ctrl + F8) and set layout 1-204 (named "Control indicators"). 
3. Push "Overview screen" (F5) 
 
You can see plan price indicator and also ACTUAL price indicator, so you have to check if actual price indicator is not "7" or "Blank". If not, please set it with value "5" or "6". 
Hope you can understand what I wrote above, but if you have any queries, please feel free to ask me. 
 
Additonaly about your question regarding "activity independent" cost planning 
In F1 help document for field "Equivalence Numbers", there're useful description how activity-independent costs allocates activity type and activity prices calculates. If you do not use cost split or activity-depend planning, you can process activity price calculation by "Equivalence Numbers". it's easy-way to allocate cost to each activity type. you can see this field also in KP26 with layout 1-201 (sample) 
the following passage from field "Equivalence Numbers" F1 document. 
 
- Equivalence Numbers 
Weighting factor for distribution of activity-independent plan costs of a cost center onto the available activity types. 
- Use 
This field group serves to weight the activity types created in a cost center. After weighting, the activity-independent plan costs of a cost center are distributed onto the available activity types. 
-Procedure 
If you want to change or create equivalence numbers in planning, this field must be defined in the planning layout. If this field is not defined, any existing equivalence numbers will be displayed, but they cannot be changed. 
Examples 
You have planned the following activity types for cost center 4420: 
Activ. type Plan quantity Equiv. nr. 
 
FST 400 hrs 3 
REP 50 hrs 1 
RST 20 hrs 1 
 
 Total: 5 
This cost center has planned activity-independent costs worth $20,000 . These costs are distributed according to activity price calculation onto the iteratively calculated activity prices (cost rates) of the activity types: 
ATyp Fixed costs Fixed portion of activ. price 
 
FST 20,000 X 3/5 = 12,000 $12,000 / 400 hrs = 30 $/hr 
REP 20,000 X 1/5 = 4,000 $4,000 / 50 hrs = 80 $/hr 
RST 20,000 X 1/5 = 4,000 $4,000 / 20 hrs = 200 $/hr

Br, Vivek Srivastava

Hi Vivek,
"The error message KP211 is display by the system due
to the SAP System cannot calculate activity prices automatically.
(can you review the settings in the system).
The procedure that you have to follow is to review transaction code
KP26 and your activity types.
From viewpoint of actual price iteration all plan prices are political
in the sense that 'prices does not change during actual price
iteration'. If all activity types have indicator 1 then everything
will be evaluated with plan price in actual. So actual price iteration
has nothing to compute because no price will be changed. You have to
set price indicator to 5 or 6 in actual price indicator for at least
one activity type in order to calculate the actual activity price.
When you change some activity type master data in transaction KL02,
these changes take effect in all relevant tables, BUT please notice
that the values of TARKZ, TARKZ_I etc. are only DEFAULT values for
activity planning and therefore ONLY READ ONCE when the relevant
planning set is created. Subsequent changes to the master data (default
value) take not effect in the planning sets. You have to change the
values in every single planning set manually."
You indicates that for the activity types you have set in the master data
actual price indicator to 5 (Actual price, automatically based on
on activity). But this is only a default value and can be overwritten
for example during planning.
Please see table COKL for cost center / activity type if have an empty field for
the actual price indicator. Thus the system only finds the plan price
indicators during price calculation and message KP 211 is justified if
you consider the following part of the long text:
In actual price calculation, all plan activity prices, meaning those
calculated automatically (activity price indicator 1 and 2) and
those set manually (activity price indicator 3), are treated as if they
have been set manually.
In order to run KSII as expected by you, you have to execute trans.
KP26 for the cost center and activity type using layout 1-204
(Activity Types: Indicators).
Here you can set the actual price indicator to 5.
Afterwards there should be no further problem with KSII.
I hope helps,

At the time of actual activity price calculatoin with diffenrent currency

Dear Friends,
I am facing some problems. Followings are the information/Problems:
Controlling Area Currency - USD
Company Code currency - INR
Exchange rate - M type - 46.90
Exchange rate - P type 46.90
This problem is due to problem-1. At the time of actual activity price calculatoin, I am geeting huge price because system has multiplied (problem-1) and now system is taking posted amount in usd to calcualte actual activity price and according to my observation after calcualtion in usd system is converting price into INR
Questions - 1. What is the logic of calculation of actual activity price.
2. As I feel after analyses that sytems is taking posted cost in controlling area currecy and then calculating price and then converting into INR,
Is my theory correct in term of SAP standard functionality. is there any method by when system take only posted figure in inr for activity price calcualtion.
Please reply as soon as possible.
Thanks

1. If you are using common controlling area with two different participating company code currency, then you have to use group controlling currency and integrate the other company code currency with parallel currency defined in the FI ledger. Hope this is design principle based on which you have selected group currency.
2. In case group currency controlling then non-participating currency should calculate the activity rates in group currency. Meaning you have define the activity rates at EUR currency and remember this has to accepted globally.
This is key drawback where you cannot define activity rates in INR, whereas there is no option activity type creation to give object currency as INR.
Hope this clarifies.

CK11n with activity prices from different plan versions

Hello,
We are looking for a simple & practical way to calculate a standard cost estimate for a material using activity prices from different CO plan version.
In the valuation variant of the costing variant the CO plan version is determined from where the activity prices are taken, eg version 0
So, we want to cost the same material using the activity prices of a different plan version, eg 90, or 91 ... but without using a different costing variant per CO plan version(so without having to create/customize a separate costing variant per CO plan version)
Is this possible?
Can we use costing versions in this respect?
Many thanks
Alain

Hi,
Thanks for quick feedback ... but how do you assign this valuation variant in the costing version... ?
Can you enter is in CK11n? or what transaction needs to be customized?
Thanks, Alain

Price Comparison List in various currencies

Dear SAP Experts,
My client wants to be able to generate the price comparison list in various currencies(that is the currency the quotation was maintained in. Note that different vendors will have quoted me in different currencies), pls advise, how can this be achieved?

hi
while coping the co code we will give INR so we can not get other currency

Activity prices are not matching compare to previous year

Dear Sap Guru's,
Activity prices are not matching for the year 09 compare to 08.But standard cost estimation is correct.how it is possible.can you guide me how system calculates activity prices.
Ex: My client having business in egypt.Last year they started thier business at this time activity prices are maintained for INDO OH :13.81, Labur 0.44 per Min plan price 1.It is common for whole year -08.
Now I copied the same activity prices for this year through kp97 by selecting object currency for both plan and cost.under planning currency tab.
Activity prices are showing for IND oh is 17.14 ; instead of 13.81 and labour it is showing 0.55 instead of 0.44.
Pls guide me.
Regards
KUMAR.

Hi,
guess you are using a controlling area currency (A) thats different from company code currency (B).
First check if the prerequisites within KP97 / button "planning currencies" are met when ticking "object currency" and using the F1-help especially the point
"It only makes sense to activate this indicator if you have activated all
currencies
1. when copying: in the source and target versions".
Whatever the reason is, your KP97 copy did the following thing:
For each CO area and plan version there are settings for each fiscal year to be made (IMG: Controlling / General Controlling / Organization / maintain versions, mark the relevant version choose "Controlling area settings", mark it again and choose "settings for ecah fiscal year".
Compare your 2 fiscal years, which exchange rate type (can be different, normally its "P") and value date (its often the first day of the new FY) is used?
If you have a difference in minimum one of the mentioned settings in CO version you might have different act. prices in comp. code currency.
Your KP97 process copied the values in controlling area currency (A) and converted this numbers to comp. code currency (B) based on your CO-version settings.
Best regards, Christian

Actual Activity Price Layout (KBK6)

Hi Masters:
I have the follow situation:
FI currency = XX (company Code)
CO currency = YY (Controlling Area)
I want to define the actual activity prices using tx KBK6, but it's present a layout with a CO currency. I need to change this, because the users introduce the price data in FI currency. I know that the layout used in this TX is "1-N01", but I've could not find where I can change it (make a copy, change this copy and asociate with a profile).
Caution: In the last time, i have been changing a lot of planing layouts (for example 1-201 has been transformated in Z-201), but mi problem is to find where i can modify the 1-N01 layout.
May someone help me?
Best regards,
Rodrigo, from Chile

Hi Rodrigo,
Generally, it is not possible to modify the SAP Standard Planning Layouts. The Layout set 1-N01 is a SAP Standard layout and it cannot be found in all the clients. The SAP Standard Planning Layouts are only available in client '000' and not in all the clients. SAP recommends to Import the planning layouts from client 000 and copy them into Z-N01 or so and make changes to the new layout.
You can import the Planning Layouts in IMG Menu Path (Controlling - General Controlling - Production Start Up Preparation - Transport Settings for Planning - Import Standard Planning Layouts.
PLEASE READ THE SAP HELP ON THIS STEP BEFORE YOU PROCEED WITH THE IMPORT.
Once you import the Planning Layout and copy it to a new one, make the changes you require to do and you can assign this new layout in Transaction Code KP34, choose the Profile SAPALL, double click on General Controlling, choose CCtr: Manual actual prices and double click on Layouts for Controlling and here you can assign the new layout.
If you want you can delete 1-N01 from this step too.
Hope this helps. Please assign points accordingly.
Thnaks,
Madhav Nanduri

Activity Price thru KP26 & KP06

I want a clarification regarding activity price calculation:
- I know that we can manually enter the activity quantity and variable/fixed rates in kP26. If that is the case, what is the purpose of quantity that is entered in KP26 ?
- Other way, we can plan the cost element in the cost centre and later on maintain the quantity in KP26 and do the KSPI (plan run) and the system will calculate the prices. In this case, I hope, system will be calculating the fixed price only. What about the variable price then ?

hi nikitha..
   I am really confused to see the various comments on this issue. Basic requirement is to calculate fixed & variablr price after KSPI run
If you follow the steps below your purpose will serve:
KP06      1-101     Cost Centre Planning - element planning (Fixed value & Variable Value)
      1-102     Activity Distribution to findout Fixed/Variable Price
          if both are required paln Variable quanty
          otherwise Fixed qty
KP26      1-201     Activity Planning (Activity qty)
You have to use both the layout in KP06 & remember the total activity qty you have planned in KP26 that should match you activity distribution in KP06 (1-102 layout)
thanks

Error while updating the Actual Activity Prices

Dear All,
While calculating the Actual activity prices under test run (KSII) ,the system is calculating the prices correctly, but when I run the KSII after deselecting the test run ,the system is giving the following error message:
Cost center EE04301000 activity type RWKHRS: costs exist although activity 0
Message no. KP250
Diagnosis
The plan or actual activity for cost center EE04301000, activity type RWKHRS is 0. However, costs were planned or posted in period(s) 1.
System Response
The SAP System cannot calculate activity prices for this activity type as this would involve division by zero. The plan or actual costs are ignored in activity price calculation.
Procedure
Check activity price calculation in planning for activity type RWKHRS in cost center EE04301000 and the costs planned for period(s) 1.
Activity Type Planning
Primary Cost Planning
For activity price calculation in actual, actual costs are allocated onto the activity type through splitting, although no activity posting was made on this activity type.
The scenario is that we have 4 activity types and planned costs/activity qty for all the 4 activities and calculated plan prices and posted actual costs for all the four types. Production Order created and confirmed only 3 activities out of 4 activities. And when we calculate the Actual prices for all 4 activities the system is giving the above said message.
Please suggest as how to solve this issue.
Regards
Subbu

Hi Subbu
The error is very much justified.. If your actual qty for any act type is zero, then division by zero would yield an error during activity price calculatoin
You need to ignore this error, if the zero qty for 4th act type is justified.. System would post act price for remaining 3 act types...

Activity price not getting updated at Production order

Hi All,
I have made activity dependent planning at cost centre and calculated the activity rate. The activity rate is showing correctly for the cost centre in KP26, but while confirming the production order (CO11N) the the activity price is not getting updated in production order. But material price is getting properly updated at production order.
Plz help me in identifying the possible areas of mistakes.
Regards,
BKD

Hi,
Please check the Period for which you have created the ht activity price is same as the period in the conformation. In the workcenter in which you are confirming please check whether the activities are assigned to the work center.
Bye,
Ramesh
