Template allocation based on activity consumed by receiver object.

Dear all,
We want to allocate overhead from CTR/ActType to production orders, network activities and sales orders based on the amount of some other activity that has been booked on these receivers.
When trying to create a template I cannot find the function to do this. Although this seems like a pretty standard allocation base for overhead.
Can anyone one throw some light on this?
Thanks in advance,
Spimic

Hi
Ideally you should use Indirect Act allocation if you want to allocate from Cost Center / Act Type to Other receivers based on the Activity Qty in those receivers
If its a one off case - you can use KB21N....
You can use T code KCAU to change the nature of CO objects as Senders / Receivers

  • 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.

  • CPTD - Actual Template Allocation on Process Orders - V.Urgent

    Hi,
    We are doing period closing for June'07.
    We are using Activity Based Costing templates for Overhead allocation.
    While executing T-Code CPTD (Collective processing) for Actual Template Allocation for Allocating Overheads for the month of June, the system is allocating
    Overheads on all Process Orders confirmed till today i.e.it is wrongly
    allocating Overheads for June, on process orders on which there has been
    no production confirmed in June, but the Production was confirmed only
    in July.
    We expected the system to allocate Overheads only on Process Orders on
    which the Production was confirmed in June,07.
    Points will be awarded for providing solution.

    Hi
    I am using environment 9 yes.
    My formula is very simple:
    On Object I have:
    SenderCostCenter = '130570' AND
    SenderActivityType = 'LABORA'
    And then I have simply put "1" in Plan Quantity and Actual Quantity.
    So what it does is it allocates the unit cost of the combination of cost center 130570 and act. type LABORA one time to each material/order no matter lot size.
    Should I perhaps have put "1" into the Plan Fix and Actual Fix instead?
    Thanks

  • Template Allocation

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    Can anyone help me understand what is a Template Allocation is and the configuration requirements.
    We have two activity types :
    1. Labour hours
    2. Machine hours
    User wants to distribute all the relevant expenditure based on these two activity types.
    Please advise.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Template is used for Over Head calculation, Template Calculation based on Goods Receipts from Production Quantity means out put quantity. This is another method of OH calculation in Product Costing.

  • Error in actual template allocation for Business Process

    Gurus,
    I am facing a strange problem in actual template allocation for business process (T-code: CPAS). When I am doing a test run, the system gives the result with a message "Processing completed with no errors", However when I have unchecked the test run and ran the allocation, system shows me the result, however no posting takes place. The message I am getting is:
    "Data not updated due to errors". The details of this error message are:
    No information was found
    Message no. GU444
    Diagnosis
    The system could not find the necessary information.
    I am absolutely clueless and have no idea where things have gone wrong. I have maintained the activity and cost center properly. The template I am using is also ok.
      Request your help on this. Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!
    Snigdho.

    Hi ,
    With such kind of error " "Data not updated due to errors". " its very difficult so determine the exact cause of the issue .
    Did your selection parameters in CPAS has a tick on detailed list . Please tick the detailed list icon and run KPAS again and let me know if you are getting more detailed error from SAP.

  • CPTD Error during actual template allocation

    Hi,
    When i am trying to do CPTD (Actual template allocation) i am getting the belwo error message
    System status CRTD is active (ORD 1094052)
    Message no. BS013
    Diagnosis
    Object ORD 1094052 has system status CRTD (Created).  According to this status, transaction 'Actual activity allocation' is not allowed.
    Procedure
    You can only carry out the requested function if this is allowed according to the status of the object.
    But I am running for period 3/2010 and this order is created in period 4/2010. I am not getting how this order is selected when i am running for period 3.
    Please help me
    Thanks & regards

    @Sudhakara Reddy,
    Could you help me understand how a costing run (CK40N/CK11N) is related to an order status?? Costing run is for product cost planning which is product specific.
    CPTD transaction is for actual templace allocation and not for costing run. I failed to understand the link between your response and the question asked!
    Newsap,
    I think creation date of an order not relevant for this transaction. You may also want to check sapnote # 309588.

  • Summarization level in template allocation

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    I have a PA with 20 custom characteristics, ALL RELEVANT and about 150 value fields.
    When I try to run CPPE or CPAE template allocation, I receive a warning message about summarization level.
    I read the help online but I have not understood what can I do with summarization level; is it an access performance improvement?
    Can I use it even if ALL MY CHARACTERISTICS ARE RELEVANT (I can't have some of them blank due to reporting)?

  • Overhead cost template allocation

    Hi All,
    Can anyone please provide overhead cost template allocation configuration steps with print screens.
    Regards,
    Vijay

    Hi Vijay,
    Templates are nothing but a tool for complex calculation of formulas . 
    Templates can be used for formula planning , activity allocation or overhead cost allocation . Enviornment of template tells you what you want to do with a template .
    If you want OH Calculation to product instead of a Costing Sheet .. use enviornment "1" for Plan and "9" for actual.
    You have lot of pre-defined SAP complex formulas available in the templates which you can use..
    Template Creation
    Enviornment varies with requirement and config will also varry , considering you are using templtes with enviornment 1 and 9 ( for Cost Allocation to Product )
    Transaction CPT1 :-
    1. Enter the name of the template and environment 001 2. Inside the template Type = Cost Center / Activity Type
    3. Description = as you please
    4. Object =   Use  the sender object .. either cost enter or combination of CC and AA whatever you need :
    SenderCostCenter = 'XXXXXX' AND
    SenderActivityType = 'AAAA'
    or you can use the screen in bottom right to input the formula
    5. Plan Quantity =  Use the screen bottom for formula or use your own one ..
    BomItemAlternativeQuantity( AlternativeQuantityUnit =
    MaterialBaseQuantityUnit, ConditionField = BomItemComponents,
    ComparisonValue = 'XXXXXX' )
    6. Plan Activation = ACTIVE
    7. Actual Quantity =  Use your own formula using predefined SAP formulas
    OrderMaterialQuantityConf( Material = 'XXXXX' )
    6. Actual Activation = ACTIVE
    Assignment of the Template
    1. Create a OH Key using SPRO > Controlling > Prod Cost Controlling > Product Cost Planing > Basic Settings for Material Costing > Overhead > Define OH Keys
    2. In Transaction OKZ2 Create OH group and assign that to the OH Key created in 1
    3. Create Cost Sheet (only code and name) in SPRO > Controlling > Prod Cost Controlling > Product Cost Planing > Basic Settings for Material Costing > Overhead > Define Costing Sheets
    4. In Transaction KTPF assign Controlling Area : Costing Sheet : OH Key : Template Environment : Template
    5. In material master costing 1 view assign the OH group to the material (standard cost estimate reads this)
    6. In the master data of the order assign the costing sheets and OH key etc so that the actual template allocation can happen.
    Execution
    Plan template is not required to be executed. At the time when you run CK11N or CK40N it is taken care of.
    Actual Template allocation can be done with transaction CPTA - Individual Processing and CPTD - Collective Processing
    I hope you would find this useful and you can further explore templates for the various formulae that you can define using th bottom right hand side in the screen of CPT1 to create magic in allocation. What I told here is very basic.
    Thanks

  • Template allocation - TotalOfRoutingOperations

    Dear Gurues
    I want to calculate in costing run ( CK11N )  the sum of an activity type "Working hours"   In a Master recipe
    In the master recipe there are 11 steps.
    2 steps  have 1 HR in the   "Working hours" activity type
    So I want to get the calculation = 2 HR
    In order to do so  I use the template allocation formula :
    TotalOfRoutingOperations( FlexibleFunction = '$1' )
    RoutingFieldValue( OutputField = RoutingOpActyDefaultValue,
                       ActivityType = '3000',
                       ConditionField = RoutingOpActivityType,
                       ComparisonValue = '3000' )
    3000 is the activity type no.
    The result I get is 11 ( the no. of steps in the master recipe )
    Instead of 2
    Any suggestion for solutions would be highly appreciated

    Hi Moti ,
    Welcome to SDN .  ..
    It will not work the way you have done . I think  You need  have to create a Z formula in CTU6 ( Maintain Enviornment and Hierarchies)..
    Make RoutingOpActyDefaultValue   = ZRoutingOpActyDefaultValueX ( X= the step where you have HR).. hours
    Then i think it will work . We have such situation in a project 3-4 years back and a senior of mine solved the issue in this way ...
    I can recall this much only.. please revert back for any further clarifications..

  • Memory could not be allocated for the activation process. Please close all applications and try agai

  • Memory could not be allocated for the activation process. Please close all applications and tr again

    Hello,
    Just purchased a new laptop:
    Intel Core 2 quad
    4gb memory
    1000 HDD
    Photoshop CS 8.0 disc dead/scratched/unreadable.  So I copied my Adobe folder from my Program Files Folder on my PC and pasted on laptop.  When I try and run PS I get the error message "Memory could not be allocated for the activation process. Please close all applications and try again". Which I do then Photoshop closes.
    Can anyone help (in layman terms please)?

    Not really. You are essentially FUBARd. Without a proper install, there is usually no way on to get the licensing stuff working. You might be able to get there by installing any other CS product, so PS could latch on to the licensing system that would be already in place, but otherwise it's a lost cause. Simply copying over the executables is normally not enough. I will admit though, that I skipped CS, so there may be some tool somewhere that I don't know about can do this post facto...

  • Memory Could Not Be Allocated For the Activation of PhotoShop

    CS2 Intel P4 3.0GhzHT, 3-4GB Ram WinXP
    Photoshop won't open for me. It used to. Any idea how I might fix this?
    When I try to open Photoshop, I get "Memory could not be allocated for the activation process. Please close all applications and try again."
    I've done this with no applications after a fresh reboot and get the same message.
    It only started recently. Photoshop used to open for me and was usable.
    I got 3 or 4 GB of ram. I can't remember, but WinXP only sees about 3GB anyway. Either way should be more than enough, no?

    hey john, thanks for resuscitating the topic. I on XP and it’s PS8
    I have defragged, cleaned disc, etc.
    In terms of symptoms, PS opens up and once open the prompt comes up. I hit okay and it shuts down.
    i have tried CTRL + ALT + SHIFT whilst PS boots up; i get the prompt "ÿou currently have Adobe Photoshops primary Scratch and Windows' primary paging file on the same volume, which can result in reduced performance. It is reommmended that you set PS Primary Scratch Volume to be on a differrent volume, preferably on a different physical dirve."
    I guess this means reinstall, partition and  set up on a partitioned drive? I don't particularly want to take this course of action if there is an alternative. It doesn't make sense given I've got plenty of space.
    No no need for that!
    The message about the scratch drive is normal: the CTRL + ALT + SHIFT resets the preferences to the default for a single HDD. If you have more than one, go into Edit > Preferences > Performance and set the primary scratch drive to the one without the paging file.
    Once you have OK'd that message it should go away if you do only have one HDD.
    Partitioning will not do anything. The object of the separate drives (if you have them) is to avoid conflict between Scratch and Page file.
    Do you still have your original problem?
