Posting Activities manually on a work center

Dear All,
Just wanted to see if there was an innovative way to post 'Downtime' activity hours on a cost center in lieu of not having that functionality activated on the PP/Plant Maintenance side.
Basically, we would like to post an additional expense for 'Downtime' via an activity type on the controlling side. I've tried it via KB51n which posts the hours on the cost center but they are not valuated (meaning no $ value posting on the 'secondary cost element' for that activity type).
Please let me know if the question is not clear.
Appreciate the help!

Thanks Ajay. I tried your option to capture the 'transfer' hours between departments and was successfully able to post the hours and dollars.
We will try and post hours manually using Stat Key Figures or activity types and make a journal entry for the dollar amounts.
Thanks again for your continued support on the forum!

Logical link / Work center for directly accessing "Business Activities"

Hi All,
We are upgrading from CRM 5.0 to CRM 2007. One unique challenge that I have encountered is the access to search, change or create - BUSINESS ACTIVITIES (Leading Transaction category: BUS2000126) in the CRM Web UI. We would like to directly access Business activities through a work center -> Logical link or a Logical link, in the SALESPRO business role.
This is available in the IC_AGENT business role. But you need to create a preceding Interaction record and then create a followup activity -> Business activity. We do not want to do this. We want to be able to access the business activites directly. For example, Leads and Opportunities can be accessed directly through the work Center: "Sales Cycle".
Does anyone know if there is a work center that I can use in SALESPRO business role that will give me direct access to Business Activities . I can use the transaction launcher to access the HTML version of the winclient transaction (T Code: (CRMD_BUS2000126) but I do not want to use the transaction launcher. Any ideas?

Well I am pretty Serious?!!!
The standard SAP delivered "ACTIVITIES" WORK CENTER has the following Logical links for CREATE:
Activity
Activity Scheduling
Activity Template
Appointment
E-Mail
Interaction Log
Task
Visit Plan
And when you use the Activity create - you ONLY have the option to create:
Interaction log - Channel report
Interaction log - Partner report
Task - Approve
Task - Recurring Task
I would expect to see more than this. There are other BUS2000126 Business Activity transaction types which are enable to be maintained online in SPRO. But they do not show up here. I can use the Search - Activity logical link and then use Activity Type to find the other Transaction types. But not in Create. I can control the transaction types that can be displayed for Leads and Opportunities. It doesn't seem to work for Activities!!!!
Is this part of standard CRM 2007 SALESPRO delivered role functionality??? I have SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW and have access to the other Business activities in my security role. My Ophthamologist did confirm that my eyes are doing fine so far. So this has something to do with the way this 'Work Center' has been designed. Apart physiological/anatomical impediments what am I missing???
Thanks,
Ramesh

Mass change of work center in production order

Dear All,
Is it possible to mass change work center in production order, i.e. i have around 100 production order of which i have to change the work ceter assigned in particular operation .
Thanks and regards
Manish

Hi Manish,
If you have not posted any activity or goods to the production order, then in header click on Functions -> Read PP Master Data.
The order will now read the routing with the new work centers, provided the same has been changed.
If you have posted some activities or goods movement done, then its a manual process.
Hope the above answers your query.
Regards,
Vivek

If in case you have posted some goods or confirmed some activity, check if you can reverse the same, re-read the routing & then post back the goods.

Estimated Start time in notification based on Time defined in Work center

Hi,
Following Satish post- I am trying to find solution to the same problem so i will appreciate any advise.
When the notification is created ,the estimated start time should be based on priority .This in iteslf is pretty straight & simple. However if the reported time is after work hours or towards the end of work hours or weekends , the estimated start time should be reflected accordingly based on factory calender & work center time schedule.
In other words the estimated start time should fall within the window of work hours available.
Example:
Presume the the working hours for the Organization are 8:00AM to 5:00 PM & a call comes for service at 4:00 PM. Also say , for high priority the defined response time is 5 hours. In such a instance the estimated start date should be set to next day at 11:00 AM.
Appreciate your help for the configuration that need to be done
Shirly

Hi,
I think ur talking about notification malfunction start time .. currently it just takes the system date and time by default .. and if you need work center timings i believe first u need the eqpt /F.loc to get the work center data in notificaiton ...
I think u can get these dates can be modified while saving by using user exit : QQMA0014 QM/PM/SM: Checks before saving a notification or BADI IF_EX_NOTIF_EVENT_SAVE , but at the same time the eqpt or F.loc have work center details in master record ...or work center needs to be entered manually in notification ..., pls check up ..

Request for detailed acts to upload Work center, BOM, Routing data in LSMW

Hello PP ANgels,
Request for detailed actions to upload Work center/Resource, BOM, Routing/Recipe data in LSMW.
Thanks in advance

Sanjay,
In the forum I found that you had used some "drops", that require a password to view.
In these forums, the only links I post are public (help.sap.com) and from SAP support (service.sap.com/support). SAP Support is mostly available only to customers and partners of SAP. If you meet these criteria, and need a login for the SAP support site, contact the license administrator for your company's SAP licence (this is usually a Basis person). If you cannot locate this person in your company, contact Service Marketplace directly (service.sap.com/mp). Alternatively you can contact your local SAP Sales office and speak to your account administrator.
Maybe it would be a better idea to group all standard solutions in one place.
I expect it will be so...in Nirvana. Here, life still entails suffering.
With respect to your detailed questions, I would have a hard time answering, I have never used recordings in LSMW to create work centers, I always use standard batch/direct input. I suspect that the VGEXX items are the units of measure from CRHD, I suspect LARXX items are activities from CSSL, and I couldn't comment on FORXX items without doing some research.
This is the SCM PP forum. You might get more answers posting this in the ERP PP forum SAP ERP Manufacturing - Production Planning (SAP PP) , since work centers/routings/recipes/BOMs are more or less irrelevant in SCM.
Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

Work center selection during UD

harhe e Hi,
We have the following scenario,
Production guys confirmed order confirmation or make backflushing confirmation to update the WIP/FG stock,
then quality cleared such stock through posting to unrestricted or blocked stock or rejection store location,
Quality person requires during UD posting ,work center/Machine selection should be there in QA32 transaction,
so that the analysis could be made for the work center,
Best Regards,
Devendra

Using Inspection Point assignment, you can record the Work Center / Machine.
But with Inspection Point, you can't have F4 selection option in standard. You have to type the Work Center code manually which may prone to error.
You can check for some user exits to define Sub screens to pop up.
QEEM0029 User-Exit for Characteristic Overview Subscreen
QEEM0030 User-Exit for Subscreen: Characteristic Single Screen
QEVA0004 Exit for changing information line in usage decision header
QEVA0005 User subscreen for displaying add. data for usage decision
QEVA0006 Entry to usage decision transactions

What are the control functions of Suitability and setup type key in work center?

Hi all,
Can any1 plz tell me what is suitability and setup type key in workcenter default values tab?
what are the functions controlled by these keys?

Hello,
Control Key in Defaut value keys screen is mainly for defining how the work center will be used in routings.
Almost in all the PP we define same Control key to the work center as well in the routing.
For example in work center control Key PP01 is used to define Routings/Internal proc. activities. When we go to the routing screen even if we do not see our components, work centers or control key we have to manually enter these details ans here control Key will remain the same as it was in Work center.
No. of individual capacity defines how many machines are there of the same type in the work center. E.g if I have 5 CNC machines then I will make One work center and in capacity screen I will put 5 as No. of individual Capacity.

Difference of work center Vs Cost center

Hi,
Let me know what is the difference between cost center vs work center with definition?
Thanks and regards
Ramesh

Cost Center One of the three types of cost objects currently used in the SAP system. Cost centers are centrally allocated funds, budgeted on the fiscal year.
Cost centers are used to track where cost occur in the organization.
As costs are incurred, they are assigned or posted to the appropriate cost center.
The posting and assignment of costs to cost centers is a critical step in using the CO module.
Cost centers are organized in a Standard Hierarchy.
The Cost Center Standard Hierarchy is used to structure the cost centers in an organization.
All cost centers must be entered in the Standard Hierarchy.
To display the standard hierarchy follow the menu path:
Accounting ->Controlling ->Cost Center Accounting ->Master data ->Standard Hierarchy ->Display
Work center its specific to which application you are using.
Logistics - General (LO)
An organizational unit that defines where and when an operation must be performed.
The work center has an available capacity. The activities performed at or by the work center are valuated by charge rates, which are determined by cost centers and activity types. Work centers can be:
Machines
People
Production lines
Groups of craftsmen
Quality Management (QM)
A place at which inspections are conducted.
In the SAP System, work centers are entered in the inspection operations. Several inspection characteristics can be inspected for each work center or inspection operation.
Warehouse Management
A physical unit in the warehouse, in which warehouse activities such as packing, distribution, and weighing, can be performed.
Example
Packing station

In the report level user wants two persons against each work center.

Hi Experts,
Please let me know the solution, I have provided scenario below.
check the query which the user is referring to report:
Example
Work center     Person
KNE33102     44003850
According to the user, the names for the Work centers should be as follows:
Work center          Person
KNE33102         44003850,
KNE33102        44003603
I have check the data in T-code-CR03, each work center getting two persons, as can be shown below.
Work center        Person
KNE33102           44003850,
KNE33102           44003603
In RSA3 it can be seen that both the records are being extracted
Work center     Start date     End date     Person
KNE33102     09.02.2009     31.12.2009     44003850
KNE33102     09.02.2009     31.12.2009     44003603
In BI , when checking in PSA, it can be seen that the data is also being loaded to BI (Two persons loaded against Work center-KNE33102)
Work center     Start date     End date     Person
KNE33102     09.02.2009     31.12.2009     44003850
KNE33102     09.02.2009     31.12.2009     44003603

The requirement is to leverage and copy all sub functionalities Appointments, Tasks, Phone Calls and Emails available within the standard activity work center. This feature is available within Accounts, Opportunities, Leads etc. (Refer screenshot: Std_Act_Screen.jpg)
We are unable to consume/embed the standard Activity (Work center) sub components Appointments, Tasks, Phone Calls and Emails within the custom work center. This is because of backend consistency check violation UI designer error message displayed. (Refer screenshot:Error while consuming standard activities.jpg)

Work Center

Hello Guru,
I have some question about the work center when pick up by the creation of production order. When we create production order manually via CO01, SAP pick workcenter BSBA111 for this order. And when we convert a planned order to a production order SAP pick work center CAWORK01. same finished product is been consider with this material number 1111002 in plant 0012. why in different way of creating production order, but the system is been picking two different work center with different formula? please explain deeply for my concern.
Thanks

In this case what is happening is that while creating manual Production order you are manually selecting the production version . therefore the routing assigned to that particular production version gets copied & subsequently the work centre assigned to th routing gets copied along with that.
Since you have used selection methood as 3 (selection only by production version) the system searches for the valid production version starting from the 1st production version in your list of production versions & stops as soon as it finds the valid one & selects it.(I.e. the 1st version which is valid for the date of exposion & within the lot size defined)
Now in this case the one which you selected & the one which the system finds during MRP can differ.
Thats why your work centres differ , because the production versions differ.
Therefore If you want the selection to be same in Manual PO & PO by MRP , in OPL8, for your plant & order type , select indicator 0 for Production version i.e. automatic selection of production version.

Work center Change

Hi All,
How to change the work center once its get combined?
Can I change my child order work center after creation of combined order?

Dear Hardik,
There are two options:
1. Change the workcentre in Routing and do Read PP master data which will pick up the current Workcentre (Provided no Goods Movements are carried out on order). The status of the order will be changed from REL to CRTD.
2. Manually change the Workcentre in Order.
