Unit Cost Planning (UCP) - Plan Integrated Object error.

Dear All,
Presently I am using Network Planning and have Plan Integrated Object Active. So that system does not allow to use UCP and gives following error.
Error: Unit costing is not allowed in plan integrated objects
My question is how can system will allow to use unit costing in this setting and what will be effect after removing plan integrated object.
Your inputs are appreaciated in advance.
Regards.

Hello Pal,
Thanks for your kind and immediate response. If i remove the integrated planning ticked then my planning will be only for the sake of statistical purpose right and from that i cannot trigger any quotation.
Could you please guide me on this
Regards

Detailed Report on Unit Cost Planning.

Hi friends,
I am doing Unit Costing in my Project in Version 1.
Is there any standard report where I can get a display of all the Materials & services or (say) any Misc cost obtained thru Arithmatic Operation in the Unit Costing?
That is to say the detailed report of whatever is done in the Unit Cost Planning.
I am only getting the report of Planned Cost on Overall Basis.
Secondly, in Unit Costing if I do any arithmatic Operation on the total value or on a particular row, then the value obtained from the arithmatic operation is not getting displayed in the cost Planning report.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Abhra Bose.

Hi Abhra,
UC Method is only to plan the project cost estimates. There is no such standard report to get the detailed plan report in terms of material, resources and Miscellaneous (tru Arithmatic calculations) except cost element report ( that to interms of cost only).
As you said, you can only get the Overall Planned total in Hierarchical report (i.e like S_ALR_87013532 - Plan/Actual/Variance ) including arithmatic calculations. but If you check in Cost element report ( i.e like S_ALR_87013542 - Actual/Commitment/Total/Plan in CO Area Currency ) you can get all planned cost that is planned against specific cost element, since it is a cost elements based report only.) If you want the planned cost tru arithmatic calculations also, you need to specify a cost element against that line item either in BPO or at WBS level.
Hope this will help you some extent.
Appreciated for giving points.

Report Painter - Use SKF to calc act/plan unit costs in CCtr report

Hi Report Painter Gurus,
I am an end user working with our Report Painter consultant and I have asked for a Cost Centre report with columns for Actual Costs, Actual Unit costs, Plan costs, Plan Unit costs for Month and Cumulative. I have seen this report in my previous business so I know it can be done but consultant says it's impossible.
The report I previously used had the SKF values at the bottom of the cost centre report and then the unit costs columns (both actual and plan) referenced these SKF cells in the formula which divided Cost by SKF.
We have created the SKF using KK01 and posted dummy amounts in KB31N but consultant says he cannot reference the SKF values in the formlas.
If you can spell it out to me (I have dabbled in Report Painter myself), then I am sure I can explain it to consultant.
Any help gratefully appreciated!
Cheers,
Matthew.

Matthew,
I think it is quiet simple. When you add a column to the report painter report you can choose from the drop down menu for 'Basic Key figure' whether it is Costs, Activity quantity, Statistical quantities, etc.
So if you have a column with Costs (X1) and one more column with quantities (X2), you can easily come up with another 'formula' column and use the equation (X1/X2).
I think this should serve your purpose.
Best regards,
Vishal Thakur.

Clarification on Cost planning version

Hi Gurus,
I need a clarification... as per the client's business requirements, cost planning is to be executed in various versions before it is finally approved. As of now it is decided to copy this into zero version (approved version). What will happen if components & services are assigned to network when real execution starts ?
Let me give an example, Unit cost planning is executed for $1000. This cost plan is copied into zero version. when the user start executing the project, they assigned components & service in the network amounting to $800. As system takes this planning directly to zero version, will the total planned cost will become $1800 ? If so, should i not take the approved cost plan into zero version instead to copy into some other version and only use Plan 1/Plan 2/ Actual Report to see the comparison ?
Whether my understanding is correct ?
Regards,
Vinodh

Hi Vinod,
Goto OPSV ( Define Order Value Updating for Orders for Projects ), remove the Check box "addit" for Order category - 20.
You can copy the Planned cost from other versions to active version - "0" but you can keep order settings to avoid appending planned cost to WBS Element Level. So, even though user do network costing, network planned cost not appended to WBS Element. Hence your initial approved planned cost remains same and you can see in all reports.
Hope this clears you !!

Transfer cost planning to operative

hi
We r using CJ40 and unit costing where v r planning materials.
i want to transfer these planned material to be transferred to projects ( networks). How?
Regards
KP

It is not possible to transfer material codes you have used for unit cost planning. Actual material will have to be attached to network activities manually. As of now i.e. in ECC 6.0 there is no facility to transfer the material codes used in unit cost planning to be used for procurement directly. However, there is a facility called easy cost planning. Material code used there can be converted as procurement item using easy execution services.

Defaulting CO plan versions specific to cost plan method.

Hi Experts
I wish to have dedicated CO plan versions as shown below:
Z01: Overal planning
Z02: Detailed planning
Z03: Unit cost planning
Z04: ECP
For ECP, the CO plan version can be defauled. Similarly is there any provision to default the specific CO plan versions for the remaining cost plan methods?
This helps in preventing the selection of inappropriate version. And also provides clarity that the version it self indicates the cost plan method.
Request experts to comment.
warm regards
ramSiva

Dear Prasad
Thanks for prompt response, Is there any impact if we create new version ? Is there any SAP suggested documentation
Kindly revert

Personnel Cost Planning: creating cost item for Org unit

Hi experts,
I am trying to attach a cost item to an org unit by maintaing feature hcp02 but the somehow the cost item applies itself to both org unit and position. Could anyone please let me know the how this can be done?
Thanks

It is extremely difficult to answer your question without knowing all the details of your scenario.
I can briefly explain the scenario I used:
1. I have maintained IT1005 on job level to further distribute this information along the organization structure.
2. First of all i had to run data collection on job level using method "Infotype planned compensation: 1005" and cost item that was a base for other items, e.g. basic salary. System creates records in infotype 5010 "Planning of Pers. Costs" for evaluated jobs.
3. Then I collected cost items for positions using method "Data from related cost planning objects", calculation type A, basis that I previously set up, evaluation path O_O_S_C (I started from head org.unit) and object type source C. I did it for positions to have possibility to adjust cost items on position level using transaction PHCPDCUI - Edit Data, e.g. you can ask managers to review your defaults on position level before staring consolidation on org.unit level.
4. Then you start data collection on org.unit level using cost items on position level. Process similar to step 3 but with different evaluation path and source object.
5. When it's done you run cost planning (PHCPADMN - Manage) using special plan for planning based on OM data.
There are plenty of other scenarios, so can't really give you exact answer on your question, as I don't which scenario you use.

Personnel Cost Planning through org objects

Can anybody help?

Cost Planning Error

Hi to All,
My name is Samad Farooq, currently using SAP Version 4.6C
When creating a cost plan using the transaction code KP06, error is encountered when we try to save the planned data. Error that is displayed is as follow Ledger 4A has fiscal year variant V6 instead of K4.
This specific case is happening only when using the controlling area JVCS and company code MAZ. Company code MAZ uses a calendar year.
Thanking You,
Samad Farooq

Samad.. chech out the process...
The fiscal year variant contains the number of posting periods in the fiscal year and the number of special periods.
You can define a maximum of 16 posting periods for each fiscal year in the Controlling component (CO). To define the fiscal year variant, go to Customizing for Financial Accounting (FI), Financial Accounting Global Settings--->® Fiscal Year -
Maintain Fiscal Year Variant.
Integration
You need to specify the fiscal year variant for each company code.
When you create a controlling area, you also need to specify the fiscal year variant. The fiscal year variants of the company code and controlling area may only differ in the number of special periods used. You need to ensure that the fiscal year variants match, in other words, they may not have a time conflict.
You can assign a company code using a fiscal year variant with 12 posting periods and four special periods to a controlling area that has a fiscal year variant with 12 posting periods and one special period. The time frame, for example, from April 1 to March 31 in the following year, must be identical in each fiscal year variant.
However, it cannot be assigned to a controlling area with 52 posting periods for example.
For more information on fiscal year variants, see the SAP Library under AC Financials -
FI Financial Accounting -
FI General Ledger Accounting(FI GL) -
FI - Closing and Reporting in Posting Periods and Fiscal Years.
Thank you

Primary cost planning other than object currency

Dear All,

Please help to provide your suggestions. Is it possible to select currency field in KP06 primary cost planning? Moreover i donot want to change cost center objec currency from USD to SGD.

HI,
the planning layout change for primary cost happens in KP66.
Ensure that the exchange rate type / date you need from planning currency to CO-Area currency is maintained in CO version definition.

Cost Planning in CRM Campaigns--Value Distribution Is Incorrect---Error

Hi,
Im working on CRM 2007 (6.0)
I used the standard ones
Planning profile Group--4MKT
Profile--4CRMMP03,
Plan Type--Cost planning
Planning Area--4CRM0001(Marketing Budgeting/Cost Planning)
This is assigned to the category CP in the define planning profile groups node in IMG.
Im able to view this in WEB UI 2007, however when i choose DISTRIBUTE, im not getting the BPS Layout appearing from BI Planning.It is appearing in Tcode-BPS0(BI) perfectly but not in CRM WEB UI.IM getting the error------Value Distribution Is Incorrect
Im basically looking at that layout to appear in the campaign where i can key in my planned costs, resources and then i would like these values to be sent to ECC and BI will extract them and provide reporting.
Is this a standard functionality or should i necessarily use a EEWB field, if so how?

Hi Noah.
Please check the following things:
- Whether the Planning Profile 4CRMMP03 has been activated from Client-000 of BW system and transported to Client-800
- After activating the Planning Profile 4CRMMP03 in Client-000 and transporting to Client-800, go to transaction bps0 in BW system and select the planning profile tree. Right click on it and set the profile.
- Check whether Planning Profile 4CRMMP03 is associated to multi Planning Area, which will consist of basic planning areas.
- Check whether at Planning level, Characteristics and Key Figures are selected and filtered.
Wish this will be useful to you.

Hi Pramila,
    Check weather the version is allowed for planning.
   In SPRO, Costs- >Create CO Versions , check weather the version 0 is defined and also check weather the Plan check box is checked.
   Hope it helps

Error in CJ40 Cost planning

Hi Experts,
When i am going to do the cost planning in the CJ40 cost element wise it is giving an error message as
Layout 1-701FG contains errors.
Message no. K9156
Diagnosis
One of the elements of planning layout 1-701FG contains values of a characteristic which is not part of the current application. Thus, the planning layout is not compatible with this application.
The characteristic here is FKBER
I had created the planning profile & in that planning profile i had assigned the Cost element group & that cost element group i had mentioned the cost elements also..
The cost element group i created in KAH1 & assigned the cost elements to it..
Can u please suggest from your vaild inputs.
Thanks & regards
Raman T S

HI,
For this i raised the OSS message & i got the solution that if we had activated the Funds management, & want to use the standard Layout is the SAP, then only two opitions are there as per the SAP standard,
1) We should activate the Funds & the Functional area,
2) We should activate the Funds, Funcational area & Grants.
Reply in the OSS message
Funds activated can be seen in the table FMISPS in SE16.
In general the layout 1-701FG could only be used if as in combination
both components 'Fund' ! AND ! 'Functional area' are active.
No SAP-Standard-Layout exists for using ONLY 'Functional Area' or 'Fund'According note 489315 please create your own planning layout as
a copy from 1-701FG as you have checked before.
SAP does only support the following combination:
- fund and functional area activated
- fund, functional area, and grant activated
Therefore in order to use the Standard Layouts you must activate
BOTH Funds Management AND Functional Area.
If you would like to use only your own-defined layouts, then you have
to modify the standard coding as described in the attached note
47207 CJ40/KO12:User-def. plan. layouts for detailed planning
You can go through the some of the SAP notes 47207 & 489315.
