PS: planned costs by activity type

Hi experts,
I have a problem about an activity type.
I have created an activity type and planned it on a cost center. This activity type is inserted in a work center with standard formala key "SAP003".
I insert my activity type in an internal processing of WBE and I calculate costs for this internal processing.
When I see the cost report of internal processing, the system returns this message: "No costs were calculated for the activity".
Why? Is it correct?
Thank you
Nicola

Hi Ashish Jain,
I have planned activity type/price with the transaction KP26, but the system doesn't return any value in planned costs of WBE.
Why?
Thanks
Nicola

Cost element/activity type planning upload

Hi,
When doing the cost element/activity type planning upload via KP06, can I assign only one characteristic in the element definition level? Because I want to put in the excel upload layout the cost elements, cost centers and activity types. But ECC 6.0 is allowing only one characteristic in the element definition level. Has anyone encountered this problem?
Thanks and best regards,
Thess

Hello,
This is controlled by planning are in your planning profile. You need to use "Cost ctrs: Cost element/activity inputs" planning area for this purpose.
Hope you are conversant with Integrated excel upload.
To do integrated excel upload of cost center plan data.
IMG ==> Controlling ==> Cost Center Accounting ==> Planning ==> Manual Planning User Defined Layouts - Create your own layout or copy from standard layout and change it.
IMG ==> Controlling ==> Cost Center Accounting ==> Planning ==> Define User Defined Planner Profiles
Copy the SAPALL to ZSAPALL. You cannot change SAPALL as it is standard.
In ZSAPALL planner profile, select proper planning area and enter your layout.
Tick Integrate Excel.
Once the popup for KP06 comes, you need enter the data and save it. It would generate the file name.
With the same file name you need upload the plan data by using KP06.
In KP06
Extras ==> Excel Planning ==> Upload
Select the file as prepared in accordance with format at the time of generating the file name.
Hope this solves your problem.
Please let me know if you need futher help.

Master record for cost center/activity type

Hi all;
How create a master record between an cost center and activity type?
Thank you

Hi
You can create master data between cost center / activity type.
You can link the two by planning for activity qty the combination of a cost center / activity type in KP26. Then you do a detailed planning for costs for the cost center / activity type / cost element in KP06.
I hope it is clear..

Distribution of planned cost of activity and its linked to PS cash flow

Dear PS Gurus
Kindly tell us how to distribute my planned cost (in result of internal,external activities ) should be equally distributed in the over planning period of activity (Say six months) and also it should have linked to my cash flow also.so that by fund get adjusted .
For Eg My activity A has planned cost 1,20,000 /- which is going to complete in 6 Months .Hence my planned cost should be distributed 20,000 / month and that should be reflects in cash flow.
Regards
Project Team 1

Hi,
You can distribute your planned costs at activity level based on the distributionkey you specified. The distribution is done for the entire duration of activity depending on the Dist key you select. If you do not put any Dist key, then the costs would be distributed equally across the entire duration of activity. If you want to have equal distribution of costs, you can use DK- SAP020 which distributes on earliest dates of activity using Factory calender. If you want you can also define your own DK in SPRO under: Production->capacity requirements planning->operations->capacity requirements->distribution.
Hope this clarifies..
Best regards..

Actual activity price does not exist for cost center / activity type

Hi,
We are trying to upload the time sheet related data(number of hours an employee workred on a project) ect from Non SAP to SAP.
We have used a customized program and have loaded the data from se38.
All this HR data will be saved in CAT2
Later we transfer the time related data into SAP FI/CO using CAT7.
+When tested with a couple of employees time sheets, they got uploaded in SE38 proerly and when transfered it through CAT7 it was properly taking the hour*rate is cost and was reflecting in the respective cost element.
For a few time sheets in SE38 we were getting an error saying that the cost center(100501)/ activity type(EAT001) does not exist for 2010.
Hence we have taken, FY 2010, the cost centes and activity types in KP26 and have given the planned Activity as 1. No planned cost in KP06.
We have run the price calculation forr the FY 2010.
Then we were able to uplaod the time sheets, but when we tried to transfer the data through CAT7, it throws an error saying no activity price exist for cost center 100501/ activity type EAT001. If I ignore the warning an proceed, no amount is being calculated.
When uploaded employee time sheets before, all the cost were getting claculated and were entering into the respective cost elements, but now no amounts are being calculated and it is taking Zero.
When checked the previous years data i.e, 2009 all amounts are fine, in KSII I can see the activity quantity filled with some numbers in 2009, where from are they comming? I have checked KBk6 nothing was mentioned.
PLease assit
Regards,
shilpa

Hi
I never used CAT* though, but the error means that you need to maintain a activity price in KBK6 (Actual price)

Costing for activity types in CS

Dear All
Hope you all are doing well.I want to perform costing on service order based on activity type for Customer Services. These activities should be assigned to service material. How can activities assign to service materail? Currently I have configured valuation catagories , assign cost elements to value catagories, define activity types,Price planning for activity type and assign these activity types to work center.
Your immedite response is higly appreciable
Thank you,
Nomi

Dear All
Really sorry for late reply! DIP Profile helps a lot in Configuring Quotation and Billing document. What I did was
1. I create activities with the help of CO consultant and give price to the activities type.
2. Setting performed for DISPLAY OF COST in Maintenance and Service       ProcessingBasic settings for these activities.
3. Assign Cost element for these activities.
4. Assign these activities type to the work center.
5. Define Services Materials for each activity type so that they can be displayed in my quotation and billing document.
6. Assign services materials to DIP Profile as such:
u2022     Define planned cost u2013 Total Record as source.
u2022     In Material Determination for profile I assign each of my service material to Transfer cost and Quantity and assign respective cost and revenue element of that activity type to the Service material.
When I create a service order with revenue u201CSM02u201D.I do not specify service material. I assign my activities types in operations and when I calculate costing it sums up all the revenue in costing for planned costs but when I create quotation and billing document for the service order it shows individual material for each activity type and its amount on item data and total is displayed in header data against EK01 condition type moreover planned and actual cost are displayed in service order.
The problem is, I have not create any condition record nor assign these condition type to my pricing procedure as value is arising from activity type.
Which condition types can be assigned to pricing procedure so that they can pick up the value of the activity type?
Thank you
Nomi

Resource - cost center - activity type

Hello,
I can see the link Resource - Cost center (in the resource master data)
I can see the link Activity type - cost element
I can see where the activity type's planned cost is done, for such or such cost center
I cannot see the relationship Resource - Activity type
isn't there any direct link or is it only an indirect link, through the cost center
Thanks for your help

I need to post 2 diferent type of costs to 2 different accounts (cost elements) my question is what impact is if I mantain in one resource with cost center 1000 2 activity types, one is also linked to CC 1000 but the 2nd is linked to CC 2000
In the costing tab at the Resource there is a field for the cost center so my question is what are de implication with this cost center and the link between the activity types and the cost centers
you can maintain 2 cost element for two activity.
But you can't combine two cc in one resource
then you need to create two resource, one with cc 1000 and other with cc 2000,
the second question is, I have to maintain these 2 different cost at the time of confirmation, Is it correct that I mantain the cost of an HOUR in KP26 so when the confirmation happens I just have to say in COR6N that 15 hours were used so based on rate given in KP26 system will calculate and allocate that cost properly, Is this how it works?
as per the formula in OP54, assigned in resource with respect to activity.
at the time of actual booking, system will calculate the actual cost of the activity ( as per the formula maintained in resource)
Also I want to ask if like the activity described before I can have 2 of these attached to the same work center and same phase? I know I can have up to six per Resource but how is the confirmation done, in one step at COR6N you give the 6 parameters to each of the activities or you have to go one by one and saving in this transaction??
In resource for each activity ( parameter) you need to assign formula and activity type, while creating process, system will copy all the parameter and formula in process order, while booking in cor6n system will copy all the parameter.

Cost center & Activity types

Res all,
how to define cost center for work center ?
and how to define activity types for SETUP , MACHINE , LABOUR etc activity?
plz send details with TCODES
regards

Hi Ajay
For defining Activity types T code KL01
Then you have to plan the activity by using T code KP26
Here you assign the activity type to particular cost center
To define cost center T code KS01
Then in CR01 (work center) u will assign the cost center and activity type
to that cost center
Thanks
