Routings and activity types planning

hi,
can any body explain how we will fix values for acitivities like set up time, processing time etc.. in the routings. whether the cost center-activity price planning fixed first or standard values for activities would be fixed first.
thanks in advance
Robert

Rob
if you have the workcenter with the activities defined in teh costing view it means that you have carried out the price planing for the activities for the Cost center within a controlling area. after that while creating the operations in routing you can see activities defaulting in operation details.
So do carryout KP26 first and then go for routing.
Hope this helps

PM Order Confirmation using Personnel's Cost Center and Activity Type

Hi All,
Is it possible to have PM Order confirmation (IW41) using Cost Center and Activity type from Personnel instead of default from Work Center? If it is, can it be done with some configuration or user exit? Please advise. Thank you.
Dai

Hi friend,
Order confirmation will be done for order operations.While doing confirmation we post the actual work done by the repective work center and respective activity type assigned to the same workcenter.
But these activity types are assigned to cost center for cost calculation.confirming the respective operation in maintenance order through workcenters gives the report of planned work and actual work done by the respective workcenter.
We cannot confirm the operation using costcenter and activity type directly through transaction IW41.
If you want to develop new confirmation screen and making confirmation of the respective order operation with only costcenter and activity type fields, you can do it .

Blocking of Cost centre and activity type

Dear all,
Please tell me how to block cost centres and activity types which will no longer be used
best rgds,
Manoj

Hi,
There are two ways .
If you wish to use the cost center number for any other cost center , then you need to delete the cost center by KS04 & you need to mention the future period for which the same should deleted, normally, starting would be 1st day of next year to 31.12.9999
Keep in mind, cost center can only be deleted , if no data (Actual/Plan/reversal) is posted in it. You may do it , before starting next year's budget processing.
If you wish to just block the same , lock Actual primary/Secondary & Plan primary/Secondary in the control tab.

What is Cost Center and Activity type

Can any one make me understand Conseptually, what is Cost Center and Activity Type

<b>Cost Center:</b>A cost centers is an organizational unit within a controlling area that represents a clearly delimited area of responsibility where costs are monitored against a budget.
Cost centers represent areas of responsibility (management areas) that generate and influence costs.
Cost centers are the locations at which the costs are incurred
<b>Activity types</b> describe activities produced by a cost center. They are measured in units of time or quantity. Activity quantities are valuated using a price.
For example: the maintenance department provides maintenance service at a labor hourly rate of SAR 2000 or USD 1000.
When the activities produced by a cost center are used by other cost centers, orders or projects, this means that the resources of the sending cost center are being used by the receiver objects.
By recording the planned and actual quantities consumed, you reallocate cost incurred on the sender into the receivers.
Activity Types can be grouped to facilitate reporting and cost allocation.
Hope it clears your basic doubt on Cost center and Activity type
Assign points if helpful.

Activity Type Planning, Cost Center Planning

Hi Friends,
I am learning SAP Controlling. I have few doubts.
1. Activity Type planning (or) Activity Dependent Planning (Cost Center +Activity
type) both are same.
2. Cost Center Planning (or) Activity Independent Planning (Cost Center + Cost
Element +Activity type) both are same.
Thanks,
Rams.N

Activity Planning and Cost planning are different. The first in quantity planning, while Cost planning is Dollar Planning.
While planning cost ($), you can mention, if such cost is activity dependent or not.
The purpose is to derive an actitivity price. This is derived by dividing, the cost by the activity quantity. If a cost center has more than one activity, then the cost need to be associated with the activity. This is where we require to identify, if a cost is activity dependent or not. When you mark a cost as an activity dependent, that cost is fully cosidered while deriving the associated activity price.
The activity independent cost are split amongst activities to derive the price for each activity. This step is done before the activity prices are computed.

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.

Activity dependant planning and Activity independent planning

Hello gurus,
Can anyone please explain the difference between the Activity Dependant Planning and Activity Independant Planning with some examples
thanks
rihana
Please, search Web

Hi Rihana,
Activity indipendent planning : Activity-independent cost planning covers both primary and secondary costs, but does not refer to a specific activity type. Eg : internal and external distribution
Activity-dependent planning : Activity-dependent planning of primary and secondary costs, on the other hand, enables you to plan both fixed and variable costs. You may require this functionality if your costing system uses flexible standard costing based on marginal costs. In this release you can carry out flexible standard costing based on full costs.
This means fixed costs are used to calculate the cost rates and are in effect converted to variable costs.

Timesheet Booking - Master record for CC and Activity Type

Hi All,
We have maintained the Personnel number HR Master Data for Info Type = 315 as follows:
Period: Start 01.02.2010 to 31.12.9999
Sender Cost Center: 101067106
Activity Type: 007000
Period: Start 01.05.2009 to 31.01.2010
Sender Cost Center: 101067101
Activity Type: 006240
I am trying to book/edit the time for Week 04.2010 [Data Entry Period 25.01.2010 - 31.01.2010] in CAT2 Transaction Code then getting an error message as-
u201CCreate a master record for 101067106/007000u201D
Message no. KL001
Also Price Planning is not yet done for new/latest combination of CC and Activity Type i.e. Period: Start 01.02.2010 to 31.12.9999
I think system is picking up latest/current Cost Center and Activity Type in an error message and not according to Data entry Period entered CC and Activity type in CAT2.
Also one thing we have observed that in CAT2 Transaction Code CC filed is showing current Period cost Center only for all Period.
Is it standard behaviour from Logic point of view.?
Please suggest the solution regarding the above mentioned situation.
Many Thanks in advance.

note that
When are default values used from the employee master record?
The default values are only used for new CATS records, not for changing,
not for copying. If you also want to use the default values changing,
not for copying. If you also want to use the default values from the
employee master record when changing and copying from the work list, you
can use SAP enhancement CATS0002.
The system only uses default values, if you enter a number of hours and
choose 'Return'.
The cost center from infotype 0001 ('Organizational Assignment') is
proposed, if in Customizing of the data entry profile, you selected the
'Master cost center' field in the 'Default values' area.
The system proposes the cost center and the activity type from infotype
0315 ('Time Sheet Defaults'), if in Customizing of the data entry
profile you selected the 'Cost center' field (or the 'Activity type'
field).
If you have chosen both fields, the cost center from infotype 0315 has
priority, if you have defined it for the corresponding period.
read the note 333884 it explains that only creating new values the data from 0315 defaults

How to get internal order and activity type other than from BSEG

We want the Internal order and activity type fields. From BSEG, it is taking a long time, and it hangs.
Is there any other table we can get these values from?
Our query is this:
select bukrs "Company code
gjahr "Fiscal year
belnr "Document no.
buzei "Document Item no.
aufnr "Internal order
lstar "Activity type
from bseg
into table gt_add_info
for all entries in gt_gl_detail
where bukrs = gt_gl_detail-rbukrs"Comcode from G/L acct detail
and buzei = gt_gl_detail-buzei "Doc item no. from G/L acct detail
and belnr = gt_gl_detail-belnr "Doc no. G/L acct detail
and gjahr = gt_gl_detail-gjahr."Fiscal yea
Can advise please how to make it faster. My internal table (GT_GL_DETAIL) has over 100000 records. ? thanks.

I did a SQL trace, and saw that tables CSLA, CSSL, COKL and COKA are being hit with the values I entered inthe Activity type in transaction FB50.
Still not clear but where it gets stored. If in any of these tables, how do I get the object key?

IW41 using HR data (cost centre and activity type)

Hi all,
Does anyone know the steps required to make IW41 determine the Cost Centre and Activity Type from the HR master?
We can change the Activity Type by user-exit CONFPM04, but not the Cost Centre.
Also posted [here|http://www.sapfans.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=329923].
PeteA

Hi Pete,
Which cost center field are you using? SKOSTL (sender cost center) should be changeable in export structure AFRUD_EXP. It is this field that is written to the AFRU table (not KOSTL). I did a quick check through debug and it looks possible to set a value in the exit that gets written to AFRU-SKOSTL.

Dynamic profile DP90: Tranfer personnel number and activity type

Hi gurus,
We have a process here where we need to tranfer personnel number and activity type to the Billing request created through DP90. Any idea how to do it?
Thanks,
VML

Hi Joshua,
thanks for your answer.
Could you please be a little more specific? the process we have is as follows:
Service Order (client) --> times notification to service order (using CATS) --> billing request --> Invoice
We need to link the data in the billing request/invoice items (which correspond to the times notified by CATS) to the rest of data not trasfered existing in CATS.
Can you please explain the difference between those characteristics that are used to create the dynamic items and those that can actually be transfered to the SD Document?
We are able to transfer today to the SD documents the service order number but that is not enough. Additionally we would need in the SD doc. the time confirmation number or another variable so we can find the rest of information for that item (personnel number, activity type...)
Thanks for your help in advance!

when I check activity type setting, it is: activity type category:1, price indicator:1
how can I change activity type and cost center to allow kp06 posting

Hello
You have to enter the plan against the cost element in KP06.
Check if the activities are assigned to work centers and work centers are mapped to cost centers. Also in the activity master You allow the cost center category in which the cost center C231000 is created. You may enter * in the field CCtr. category.

Operations and Activity type.

Summary :- A service order was created with an operations.The complete confirmation was done and 3 operations were confirmed. 1st and 2nd operation have same activity type and 3rd has different activity type. A document was created through DIP profile, but it has entry of only 2 materials.We wanted 3 materials. When checked in DIP profile, the summarization of activity type is not ticked; it means it will summarize the activity types.
Problem:- The activity types should not summarize. We do not want to use the activity summarization in DIP profile in Usage --> characteristics, as if we change that it will affect other documents using the DIP profile. Kindly suggest any other solution for this issue.
Thanks.

Hi Satish,
In Materail determination define 3 service products
and in criteria assign those three activity types to those service products so that in billing you will get three materials
try and pls let me know
if it is useful to you pls reward me with points

Cost center and activity type

Hi,
how can I link a cost center to an activity type ?
Regards

Hi..
You can defined a activity type to a cost centre category not a particular cost centre.
Suppose you have one activity 99xxxx you can defined it to cost centres cat "P" for prod
you can defined it in KL01 activity master creation.
If you want to assign one specific activity to be used for a particular cost centre then creat the cost centre under spl cat and creat master data for activity type for that cat.
