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.

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.

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

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.

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...

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.'

How to Close Planned Overhead Rates after production order/ CK40N

Hi,
While creating production order,it will pick planned overheads from Costing Sheet.After closing the production Oder,how will we close the planned overheads?
For example: We have maintained the planned overheads as 3% in the costing sheet.Over a period of time we have observed the actual overheads is only 2%.How to deal with this in the system.In this case how to close the planned overheads which we got from costing sheet?
Kindly advice me
thanks
Sunitha

Hi,
If i understand you correctly,currently your planned overhead rate is 3% and you wants to change to 2%.
if this is the case goto your Overhead rate in configuration and copy overhead rate key which is with plan overhead type(2). and change 3% end as of today and copied one with new rate (e.g 2%) as of tomorrow and till end of life(12/31/9999)....
hope this helps you.

Data Plan Activation Failure after I updating to 8.0.2

After I updated my Ipad2 to 8.0.2, I have not been able to use my cellular date. It keeps "searching" for connection and then pops up "Data Plan Activation Failure". What do I do?

I turned gmail off and turned on iCloud email. It won't load either.

Planned Order Rates

We run detail scheduling for our plant. We often change the duration of the planned order to either run longer or slower than what was created by the system (based off of the rates). If we change the planned order quantity the rate of the planned order will change back to original and the duration will change based off the new planned order quantity. How can I prevent the rate from reverting back to its original rate if we decide we want to change the planned order quantity after the rate has been changed?
Just in case you are wondering. We often change the duration of planned order or process order letu2019s say from 5 hrs to 8 hrs to fill in a shift and at the last minute we may decide to build more.
Thanks
Rob

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

Material ledger activity rate revaluation account determination modification

Scenario:
SAP ECC 617
Material ledger activated with activity rate revaluation (i.e. cost center over/under absorption posts to ML and not to production orders)
Standard SAP setup has PRV transaction key used to post both multi-level price differences to inventory and to capture the offset to the cost center clearing entries (GBB-AUI) causing the values to get comingled in the same account
Question:
For reporting purposes I would like to determine a unique account for the activity rate revaluation entries. There is no relevant general modifier available for transaction key PRV. Is it possible and practical to modify table T169A for a specific value string / field name combination that represents this material ledger transaction? If so, what is the combination? Or will this cause major issues with ML processing?
I'm trying to find a creative way to fill this gap without account substitution.

Hi Eric,
This is an interesting one.
Modifying value string might be an option but in my opinion is quite a serious "brain surgery" on the system :-).
You may want to try another option.
In SPRO -> Controlling -> General Controlling -> Organization -> Maintain Versions
for version 0, Controlling Area Settings, Settings for Each Fiscal Year in tab Price Calculation there is field Revaluation.
One of the options there is 'Own business transaction'. With this option posting to sending Cost Centre resulting from actual activity price revaluation will be posted with different Business Transaction (although same secondary cost element as original activity allocation).
In reports you can separate postings based on Business transaction.
It definitely works for Activity Update 1 (revaluation of production orders).
I'm not sure if it works for Activity Udate 2 (no revaluation of production orders).
Please let us know the results of your investigation.
Regards,
Szymon

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.
