Rates in KP26

Hi guys,
for transaction kp26. Is there any functions available for me to check when the rate is being uploaded? Thanks.
Regards
Yiming

Hi,
it seems, you are calculating the prices out of SAP and loading / manually inputting the prices through KP26.
Use transaction KSBT which will give you the prices in a tabular format against each cost center and Activity type. you can check against the spreadsheet / other file which has been used for manual entry.
Cheers !!!

Fixed Rate in KP26

Hi,
We are using the scenario of automatic calculation of activity rates in KP26.
We have 7 activities maintained against particular cost center each of which has planned activity.
We have certain fixed costs assessed to each cost center with receiver tracing factor being one particular activity.
When the KSPI is run, the system distributes the fixed costs equally to all the activities maintained against the particular cost center. Thereafter, the system divides this fixed cost by the planned activity for each activity type.
Our requirement is, the result of the assessment cycle should be posted only to the activity mentioned in the receiver tracing factor, so that it is not subsequently distributed within all 7 activities maintained against the particular cost center.
Please provide some solution in this regard.

Hi Swapvik,
Pls try to configure the "Splitting Structure" available for this purpose. This is used to allocate the Activity-Independent cost (fixed cost in your case) in a Cost Centers among different Activity Types when there are more than one Activity Type planned on that Cost Center.
You can restrict your certain Cost Elements (fixed cost) to certain Activity/Activities in the splitting structure.
Pls refer the following link for better understanding...

How rate is calculated for activity types

Hi Gurus,
There is activity type XYZ created and when in do KB21N and enter the cost center and activity type the rate is calculated.
I do not know where is the rate maintained. It is coming 27.96 hence how the system is taking 27.96 rate for 1 Qty.
Regards.

Planned Activity rates are calcualted in KPSI and updated in KP26. Actual rates are calculated in KSII and can be viewed in KBK7.
Please check the rate in KP26 for the period/cost center/activity combination

Actual rates (KBK6) is not getting picked up for CPTA (template allocation)

Hello Experts,
I am using template allocation for the purpose of overhead calculation. I maintained rate in KP26. It is getting pulled up when I ran standard cost estimate. This is correct
Now I want to run CPTA (ie. charging overhead at month end) using actual rate. Hence I maintained actual rate in Tcode KBK6. Actual rate is little bit varying with KP26 rates. Hence I want to run CPTA with actual rate.
When I executed CPTA, I saw that system is picking up KP26 rate and not KBK6 rate. Please help me. How system will pick up KBK6 rate for CPTA.
--Meena.

Hi Meena,
The correct sequence of closing should be:
1. Template Allocation - CPTA
This will post activity allocation from CC to your production order at PLAN price.
2. Calculate Actual Activity Prices - KSII
This will calculate actual price based on costs posted to CC and activities allocated (try to avoid KBK6 in your testing but rather calculate actual price properly). It will also credit CC but will NOT debit the order.
3. Revaluate your production order - MFN1
This will debit the order with the difference between plan and actual activity price.
Please kindly read SAP Note 156563 - Settlement after activity allocation/revaluation.
It explains revaluation logic in detail.
If in your case CPTA generates activity allocation between CC and order (valued at plan price) and KSII calculates new actual activity price, MFN1 has to update the order.

Deletion KP26 planned values.

Hi Gurus,
When at the time of uploading planned activity prices in KP26, we entered wrongly cost centre and activity type.
Now we dont want that combination, we try to delete that but still it is coming again.
It is happening in Production, stilll we are not gone live, when we run CK40N this problem it showing.
we are not able to delete at all.
What would be solution.
Regards
Sreenivas.P

Dear Sreenivas,
Now the problem is occuring because of the wrong assignment or combination of Cost center/Activity Type.
Better create a new cost center, activity type and then fix the rates in KP26.
Now you can sssign this cost center in the costing tab key in the work center either in CR01/CR02 and
also the activity type.So if this work center is assigned to perform some operation either in routing/Rate
routing,while doing the cost rollup using CK11N or CK40N,the new cost for peforming the operations get's
picked up as per the new rates.Follow these steps.
1.Create a Cost center using T code - KS01.
2.Create an activity type using T code - KL01.
3.Assign the Rates for an activity type & cost center combination using T code KP26.
4.In the input screen of T code KP26 ,enter version as 0, from period 1 and to period as 12 and the Fiscal
Year as 2008,enter the cost center, activity type click on overview screen (F5)---> enter the per hour Rate
under Fixed price and set value as 2 for distribution key and plan price indicator as 3.
5.After performing this ,while creating the work center ,this combination of activity type & cost center
should be assigned.Then while creating routing/task list this work center can assigned for performing
operations.
Check with this & revert back if you need any further help.

KP26 understanding

Hi:
I have understood the process of KP06 now i am on to KP26. I have gone through Google but could not find any helpful material that could satisfy my queries. In KP26 we give cost center and then assign an activity type to it , give in plan activity and save, now what next...What system does when we have planned values in KP26 and what is the step next to it. I am not conceptually clear about KP26 usability. Request experts to guide me...
Regards
Moderator: No need to go through Google for this point; help.sap.com should be sufficient

Hi Farooq,
KP26 is used in product costing and cost center accounting and has two perspectives.
1. Product costing : When production is confirmed in the PP module (through CO11N) by the production person, the conversion cost (eg machine hour cost) is debited to the production order and credited to the cost center. The amount debited is equal to quantity (of machine hours) multiplied by cost per machine hour. This cost/ activity unit is mentioned in KP26 for every combination of costcenter and activity type. As explained above this is further used in automatic price calculation of activities using KSPI,KSII etc.
2. As explained in point 1, when production is updated cost center is credited with the amount as explained. The cost center is derived from the work center used and rate from KP26. This is used to analyse cost center over and under absorption.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards

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

Cost calculation error while saving the activity in network

Hi Experts,
We have created internal activty in the network at the time of saving it is giving an error.
"Error while calcualting Cost,log is deleted when saving do you want to save?".
When I checked the log through extraslogscost calculation in CJ20N,it is showing following reasons
1) Missing formula in work center
2) Operation 0020/suboperation(or cost comp):activity type not entered.
3) No control record for activity type in version 000/2009 activity planning/qty planning.
could you please help me in this?
Regards,
Abdul Rehman

In your work center, use "SAP008" formula in the costing tab.
Copy the activity type you have used in the work center (again in costing tab) & use this activity type in your project internal activity. Use the same unit of measure in your project internal activity, that you have defined in the activity type.
Define correct rates in KP26 for your activity type.
It should work now.
Good luck.

How to Pick differant price for same activity based on employee grade?

Hi,
My Requirement is -
1. We are using Machine -1 for manufacturing purpose. In this machine, There 3 employees who are authorized to work... (Eg. Employee A -Employee B -Employee C)
2. We have an Activity type for Machine hour. The price given in KP26 is 10$ per hour and assigned it in Work Center.
3. But Employee A hourly price is 12% & Employee B hourly price is 10$ -Employee C hourly price is 8$.
4. Now with the current set up, system is taking 10$ for any of the above employee which is not correct.
Requirement is - When Employee A works on this machine, system shoule take 12$ per hour and If employee B woks on this machine, system should take 10$ per hours and For Employee C, system should pick 8$ per hour. How to get different activity rate when using different employee?
Kindly help me how can i configure for this requirement. Please give me some inputs..
Thanks
F4N

hi..
You can map in the following manner :
             You creat One WC and define three operation against each Employee and define three activity and plan your rate in KP26 against each activity
                       WORK CENTRE     Machning
                         Activity
OPRN -1(Emp-A)     A-1
OPRN-2(Emp-B)     A-2
OPRN-3(Emp-C)     A-3
     So from operation One system will take hr * rate to calculate cost of oprn of employee and so on....
Please test and write back for any help.

Wrong planned cost calculation while actual is calculating correct for internal activities

Dear all,
I am facing an issue in which when i am doing network costing with work center, activity type, cost center and giving per hour rate in KP26. System is calculating correct actual cost but every time its calculating wrong planned cost. For example: If i have given per hour rate 60 usd when planning for 100 hrs in cj20n its showing 2500 while confirmation is working correct and for 10 hrs its showing actual cost of 600.
I have checked work kp26 also report KBST to make sure about rate. Also i have checked configuration related costing variant planned and actual and its standard PS02 and PS03.
I will really appreciate suggestions or some one face similar issue and got it resoved.
Thanks.

Dear All, this issue is resloved. I didnt give quantity in KP26. However i am more curious that most of the time i dont give any quantity in kp26 and always system works fine and calculate correct cost than why this time its calculating wrong planned cost.
Thanks all.

Link beteen cost centers and activities

Hi
We have 180 + cost centers and I want to have 100 + activities.. I want to link these cost centers & activities..Eventually what should happen is when processing transactions with a CO object (cost center, internal order, WBS) in AP posting, recurring entry, depreciation, PO ect the value should also hit the activities at the time it hitting the cost center
I just want to know whether a link can be maintained in the cost center master data to link an activity..
Thanks

HI,
the linkage of cost centers and activity types is done in cost center / act. type master data using the field "cost center category". if you set cost center category to "X" in the cost center, the cost center can only "use" act. types with cost center category "X" (or * which is a wildcard).
In act. type master data you can key in up to 8 different CCtr categories, which allows you to limit activity type "test" to be used for cost center category X and Y and Z.
The possible combinations can be seen in act.rate planning (kp26). Planning is only possible for the combination of cost center / act. type given by the linkage described above.
Best regards, Christian

Revaluation of production orders at actual prices

Dear All,
My client want to revaluate production orders at actual prices, but we have only one costing version for plan and actual. Exactly I don't know how to revaluate production orders. As we have only one version, I want to change the activity rates with actual rates in KP26 in order to revaluate the production order. But even I change no revluation is taken place. Any customizing has to be done or what is the procedure to revaluate production orders. I changed the costing version settings to allow revaluation with own business transactions.
Please help me.
ramesh b

Use transaction CON2 to revaluate the production order.
But before revaluation you have to run KSii to calculate the actual activity price. The price calculated here will be used for the revaluation.
I dont think there is need for any configuration if you have the plan activity prices set up and ready to go.Manually changing the price in KP26 will change th plan price but not revaluate it.
Keep us posted on the results
Happy to Help

All activity prices are manually entered (Message no. KP211 )

Dear All,
I have maintained Activity Rates through KP26. On Activity Master I have set Act. price indicator = 5.
Now when i am executing KSII it is giving me error message as :
All activity prices are manually entered
Message no. KP211
Diagnosis
All activity prices in controlling area FLGP, 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.
Proceed
Please let me know if I need to done any additional settings.
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,

CO and Process order without material using T. Code CORO

Hi
We need to use Process Order without material functionality for recording "changeover" time and cost (i.e. setting up process for production of other material in a production line).
For this purpose we have configured a separate process order type. We have created a separate activity for Changeover and planned rates using KP26.
Now we create Process Order without material using T. Code CORO and confirm it using COR6N. On confirmation system successfully credits Cost Center.
We need to know:
1) whether we should settle the process order as well or no need to assign settlement profile to Order Type
2) Or should we run Cost Estimate first.
Plz help, if any have idea

Thank you all for your valuable input.
Srinivasa, your suggestion is very good, especially when calculation of variances/WIP is required. But again as there is no cost relevant material where the WIP/Variances will be settled during settlement process?
1) PP need to create process order without material because changeover cost should not be charged to either material and capacity hours are consumed during changeover. 2) CO need to identify the cost of changeover which should be charged to cost center. So far we have achieved both of these two objectives by the following activities:
Creation of Process Order without material using CORO T.Code say 3 hours of changeover occurred we create order with quantity of 3 Hours. And confirmation of activities quantity 3 using COR6N so cost center is credited by 3 x rate per hour. As there is a separate Process Order type for Changeover we can identify changeover quantity and cost in a given period.
After contributors feedback in this thread I have come to conclusion that I don't need to assign Settlement Profile and PA Structure to Changeover Process Order type. So no need to run Process Order settlement. As there is no specific required for Changeover WIP/Variances as well.
