Plant Vs.Activity Types

Hi,
Where we can see the relationship Plant and Activity Types. I checked in KL03 but not able to see plant. I have plant "X" and plant "Y" and I have many activity types. But some activity types belongs to X and some belongs to Y. I need to update price in
KP26 for activity types and cost ceters for both the plants. ideally I have updated price for some cost centers and some activity types.. I want check those activity types belongs to Plant X or Y?
Thanks
Srinivas

Hi Srinivas,
Apart from reply by Sharda, you need to understand the logic, Activity Type is someting which is produced by cost center (e.g. a cost center may produce say consulting hours in case of consulting org, labout hours may be other example). On the other side material is always related to a specific plant, therefore the price of material is important for plant. Both activity type and plant are different, you should analyzed again with this prospective.
Hope this helps!!!

Confirmation of PM activity types in Plant Maintenance or Controlling

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if there is a possibility to Confirm activity types of PM workers on PM orders? Which transaction is used for this?
I would like to settle indirect costs of PM Cost center to PM orders. The tracing factor in this case would be the PM activity types confirmed by the PM workers.
However, I don't know the PM module and I don't know whether it's possible to confirm activity types using some PM T-code?
Should I use for this purpose KB21N (enter direct activity allocation) in Controlling, or is confirmation done somewhere in PM module?
Best wishes,
Karol

Hi,
You are right...
Confirmation of the activites are always done thorugh PM module transaction only... if i am not worng T.code IW41.. any how check the t.code otherwise consult to your PM consultant
Only very rarely KB21N is used to rectify or to add some xtra cost
In day to day lifr the confirmation is done by PM department not by costing department.
As suraj written for planning activity you use KP26.
Yah..for allocating the indirect cost to PM order where the basis of allocatio is on confirmed activity cost...this is a simple case of using costing sheet in PM order... where in Base put the activity allocation cost element which you have used in activity type master data and in over head key put % and in credit put cost center which incurrs the indirect expenditure and
the costing sheet assign in the valuation variant of the order type of the PM order..
Hope i am clear to you...
IF helpful assign the points..

Transfer posting Quality to Quality within plant ..mov type 323...

Hi All,
I am not able to process Transfer posting Quality to Quality within plant with mov type 323 through MIGO transaction.
Error : Change the inspection stock of material 936317 in QM only.(Change the inspection stock of material 936317 in QM only
Message no. QA495
Diagnosis
You want to make a stock posting to/from the inspection stock. This is not allowed for material 936317 because the quality inspection control has been activated by QM.
The following cases can occur:
The inspection stock should be increased, although an inspection is not foreseen for the current goods movement
The inspection stock should be released, although you can only do this using the QM transactions.
System response
You cannot carry out the stock posting.
Procedure
Check both the QM inspection setup data and the movement type for material 936317 in the quality management view of the material master.
Exception:
If you post a return delivery to a vendor with reference to a purchase order, or cancel a goods receipt, the stock indicator from the order is proposed.
Check and modify this proposal as required.
The stock may have been transferred already and is therefore no longer in inspection stock.
Kindly help me to resolve the issue.

Hi,
Please check the stock of material 936317 in MMBE , One lot will be in Quality Inspection.
Clear the lot to unrestricted lot
try now you will be able to do Transfer posting Quality to Quality within plant ..mov type 323

Activity Type ENGINE not set up for cost center

Hi all,
Currently, we have set up a work center in our system, which has the following intergration:
- Controlling Area --> TECH
- Cost Center --> TECH001
- Activity Type --> ENGINE
- Plant --> PN01
- Work Center --> PL01
Based on the above, the work center PL01 has the relationship of where Activity Type ENGINE and Cost Center TECH001 are linked together, where Cost Center is tied to Controlling Area TECH.
However, when a user tried to create General Task List (Trxn IA05), under Work Center PL01 and Plant PN01, and inserted Activity Type ENGINE in Operation item. It gives the following error:
Activity Type ENGINE not set up for cost center
I have also checked KP26 that everything is setup correctly.
Please can someone shed some light on the above?
Many thanks and regards,
Patrick
PS: Full point guaranteed for helpful answer.

Hi all,
I have solved the issue by changing the Start Date of the Work Center. Now everything works well.
cheers,

MASS activity type in router

I'm hoping someone has any ideas if CA85N can really MASS change activity types. I have been testing the transaction in our test client and have entered the material, plant, work center in the selection criteria and then in the change tab I have entered the new activity type and click the copy button.
However, the system keeps giving me errors that there isn't an activity type for standard value for setup. But I'm not changing setup, I'm trying to change labor.
I also get another error "consistency check is not successful when changing operation 0004. But for this one material I'm not changing operation 0004. I'm changing operation 0030.

Hi,
Activity Type will for a Work Center and not for the Standard Value Key. Hence when you are trying to change the activity type system will try to modify for the standard values for Setup / Operation / Labour etc. In your case I think you have not entered any activity type for the Setup, hence it is showing that error.
I suggest you to go tcode : CR02/CR03 and check in the costing tab whether you have maintained the activity type for Setup or not.
Hopw this will help you.

Activity type issue

Hi Experts
We have maintained new P exchange rates ( USD >> AUD)yesetday with validity form October 2009. During the costing run today we've noticed that the activity types are not consideriing the latest rate for calculation (completed KP26 with period 1 to 12 for 2009).
Please advice me why this is happening? Are we missing anything here.
Thanks in advance.

Hi PK,
The title of your issue is rather confusing with what you did with your system because when you do Costing run or product costing, the system do the calculation of your product/products based on Costing variant assigned to the product in which plant the product is calculated.
You have to be aware of the function of Costing variant. The costing variant contain all the rule and parameter of how the system get the prices of your materials in the BOM and how the price of activity types are calculated in the Routing. For the point of activity type you need to check what strategies are determined in the valuation variant which is assigned in the Costing run. Please check by following menu path at IMG/Spro:
Controlling> Product Cost Controlling>Product Cost Planning> Material Cost Estimate with Quantity Structure>Define Costing Variants.
Once you get costing variant which is used in the Costing run/Product costing, then check the valuation variant assigned. Go to detail of valuation variant. The valuation variant determine of how the system get the prices as mentioned above.
Let's get back to your issue and what you did in the system. Changing the P exhange rate has nothing to do your costing run directly, especially for activity type. The price of activity type is defined by the "planning activity output price (t-code KP26) and based on strategy defined at "Activity types/Processes" tab in the valuation variant. Is it using "Plan price as average of all fiscal year period" or any other strategy priority defined for the activity types. I don't think you do planning the cost of cost center using foreign currency.
The only possibility of how your exchange rate change would affect your cost calculation if your materials are procured in foreign currency and if material valuation strategy in the valuation variant use the first priority "L" Price from purchasing info record". If the price defined in the "Material Val" tab are others than mentioned above, your change in E/R would not affect your costing run/Product costing.
Hope this help your understanding of how costing variant and valuation run better.
Best regards,
Irhasni

Six activity types in a Resource but require more splits

Hi,
We got a limitation on the number of activity types to be assigned to the resource(work center) as such there shall be limitation on the splitting of Costs in cost component structure as well. So to tide over the difficulty, We can have one more dummy resource for utilities for assigning another six more activity types.
But without this arrangement of having extra resource, how template allocation aid in this. Pl explain in detail. Is there any way other than template allocation?. To be precise in my query, we need to use activity type for machine hour for splitting Repair & maintenance exp and Factory admn expenses, etc.
For your kind info, I do not want to use costing sheet due to its limitations.
Regards,
Ashok Singh

Hi Ashok
There is a way... Take your PP consultant for a good dinner at a Five Star Hotel
Well, I had to face a similar situation and the PP guys had a lot of reservation against confirming an extra operation... What we agreed to was as below
1. I made them agree to maintain a 2nd operationin Routing...
2. PP guys wont confirm this operation... This would be confirmed in a batch mode at the period end.... However, in my case, the activity qty in 2nd operation was based on a formula i.e. based on the Qty confirmed in the 1st operation....
If you wish to adopt this approach, you may have to confirm the Standard Qty....
3. The solution was that I used BAPI BAPI_PRODORDCONF_CREATE_TT... I created a Z T code which would execute Date / Plant wise....
I gave all the options like executing in test mode first... checking the result and then posting in update mode
It would confirm the 2nd op in all those Prod Orders in which 1st operation was confirmed.... Ofcourse, it took 2-4 months to stabilize.... But now, it is running smoothly for over 2 yrs

Settlement PM WO in Maintenance Activity Types (within a WO type)

Dear PM master,
i have a new requirement here, facing the issue in settlement rule (limiting and defaulting the specific maint act type to settlement receiver)
I already set-up default settlement rule by Work Order type is a standard functionality, but my company implement new accounting standard, that a major repair overhaul and Turn around (major maintenance, with a huge cost), must be settle to a deferred cost (i.e. WBS).
In My company business configuration, Work Order Turn around and Overhaul covered by maintenance activity type, which are linked by same WO type (preventive maintenance):
WO type:
PM02 (preventive maintenance), consists:
Mtc. Act Type:
001 (Turn around)
002 (Overhaul)
003 (Time Based)
004 (condition based)
005 (Plant Stop)
Now i want to default the settlement rule, in that PM02 order type which is within maint act type '001' or '002' to WBS or other costing receiver. when others maintenance act type remain same (defaulted by configuration in settlement rule profile in WO type)...
I just guessing, there will be a customer or user exit playing role in my case, but which one and how, that what i must figured it out.
Please do me a favour.
thanks

OK....
this will be my starting point to discuss with my ABAP team.
looking forward to discuss the progress further more.
thanks

CA03 tcode customization of workcenter, activity type

Hello Expert,
In CA03 Transaction Code, there are fields like Operating,workcenter, plant , control Key, Activity Type etc..
I just want to know where these all customization can be done want to check cost center and activity hours for one article.
where we assign operating, workcenter,plant, control key, Activity type ???
Thanks in Advance.
Sujeet

Dear Sujeet,
1.Work center and routing are also the master datas for PP Module.
2.Work center is the place at which the individual operations are carried out and its created using CR01.
3.Each work center will be linked to a cost center in the costing tab.
4.Before making this assignment, for a combination of cost center and activity type the activity per hour
rate will be maintained in KP26 for the periods.
5.If for the same activity type different rates are to be maintained means,then it can assigned to a
different cost center only.
6.One work center can be linked only to one cost center.
7.one cost centers can be linked to several work centers.
8.Cost centers will be created using KS01 and activity types using KL01.
9.While creating routing using CA01,for each operation a work center must be assigned.It means that
particular operation will be done in the mentioned work center.
10.Control key can be assigned either directly in the work center or else in the routing manually it can
be added or changed.
11.A control key tells the whether an operation is relevant to scheduling,costing,capacity
requirements,qualtity insepction characteristics.
12.Control key configuration can be made in OP67.
13.OP5A is for configuring the routing.
14.OPFA is for configuring the work center fields.

Plant Connectivity Active Monitor Service

Hi,
I was wondering if somebody could tell me exactly what the Plant Connectivity's ActiveMonitor service is used for. I tried to google and search the forums for ActiveMonitor and have not found anything useful. I have also done some testing with enabling and disabling the service, and have yet to figure out exactly how it is utilized.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Justin

I solved the problem!

Linking activity types with routings

Hi,
We have several work centres in one production line. But in costing side we have only one cost centre for one production line.If we use common activity types for all these work centres and if update the common activity rate in cost centre, how we are to differentiate costs among different work centres in same production line.
Please advice.
Regards,
Madhushika

Dear ,
What I understood from your requirement is that you have multiple work centre having same Activity Rate-Activity Type , Same Production Cost Centre .In that case you need to analysise Work Centre Wise operation cost or Operation wise cost at that Work Centre level . Basically , this should be differentiated at operation level based on the Standrad Values , total duration ( setup , machine , labout hrs ) , Formula Key invloved .
From reporting point of view , if you goto -COOIS -Operation -Standrad Profile with Order Type , Plant code and exceute then it will display with Operation Timings as well as if you can goto Select Layout-Change Lay out option -You can choose Price , Costing Variant for same cost centre with different Work Centre and operation combination .
You can check the same in COHV , CO02-Production Order Header-Costing -Cost Analysis -Itemisiton -Orgin Group
Hope this will give some idea

Activity types/ PMAT?

Hi,
I am new to EAM world. Could you guys help me understanding the differences between activity types and PM Activity types?

Dear Alex,
Controlling (CO): Activity type:
Unit in a controlling area that classifies the activities performed in a cost center.
Example:
Activity types in production cost centers are machine hours or finished units.
Plant Maintenance (PM): Maintenance activity type
A key for the type of maintenance activity provided.
Activities are divided into repairs, shutdowns, regular activities, inspections and so on.
In cost evaluations, for example, total costs or number of orders for each technical object, you can classify data according to maintenance activity type.
Hopes this is useful

Sandeep
