Updating Activity Type.

Hi,
Can you please tell me how to update Activity type present in Cat2 sheet?
Thank you.

Hi
Changing Activity type is not possible in CAT2.
However you can acheive this by changing in the work center or HR personal master data of that person.
I suggest you to read and understand the PS in this forum or SAP helo sites to better familarize with terminology and adopting the PS module very quickly.
Regards,

IW41: automatic update of activity type when changing the work center?

Hello colleagues,
when doing a time confirmation with IW41, we have following problem:
In the PM order the operations are assigned to a neutral executing work center, as it not known which individual technician is completing the operation later on.
Now when the individual technician is entering the time confirmation with IW41, system is proposing the work center indicated in the operation from the PM order, then technician is overwriting the work center proposal with his own individual work center ID (and pressing Enter), but the activity type is not getting updated automatically. So the technician must jump to field "activity type" and choose the correct activity type.
Is there any solution (hopefully with user exits!) to have the field "activity type" automatically updated with the one indicated in the work center, which was entered manually?
Thanks for your ideas!
Regards,
Patrick

Hi Maheswaran,
yes, as usual all PM work centers have only 1 activity type assigned in the costing tab.
We also checked the settings of the activity type (KL03), but we just found one difference: the price indicator was set on 3 "Determined manually" - we've changed to 1 "Plan price, automatically based on activity" (..same setting as for the act. type of the work center with working update of act.type).
We tested already all possible constellations and scenarios, but we have not found any good reason for the behaviour.
Thanks for your efforts so far!

Activity type - actual cost automatic updation

Hello Gurus
I have done KL01 KP06 and KP26 transactions. That is I ahve defined the activity and assignes a cost conter to it.
i need some report , when i will check the tcode S_ALR_87013611 - Cost Centers: Actual/Plan/Variance
Here my actaul cost want to update actumatically , is it possiable
can Anybody give me the solution

Hi,
What do you mean by 'automatic' update of actual costs? Whenever you will post a transaction on the activity type you have defined, you will create actual costs based on the tariffs you have provided.

Update of project planning after change in activity type

Hello Experts,
we are doing manual activity input planning ( CJ40 ) via customer report per year equal to project dates.
This means if we change activity plan price ( KP26 ) in future years, we need to recalculate the planned values in project system.
If we manually change values in CJ40 after changes in KP26 the system calculates the new monetary value in background
Example: Planned on project 10 Hrs a 20€ = 200€ // change price of activity type to 30€ // Plan 1 additional hour in CJ40: Monetary value changes to 11 Hrs a30€ = 330€ and posts +1 Hr with +130€ price difference.
Is there a opinion to adjust/update the monetary value after changes in KP26 without changing plan values?
Thanks

Hi Frank,
I am not sure what kind of project cost planning you are using. Usually it is either direct WBS cost planning with CJR2 or cost roll up from Network Activities and Orders or ECP.
The system will take AType price relevant for the period. If you have 100 hours with price 20 for Year N and 50 hours with price 30 for Year N+1, the planned cost will be 2000 + 1500 = 3500.
CJ40 is the Overall Planning, but you still can select a year (as a period). In the Overall view you have no button for Activity Input, it will show up only when you select a year.

Update cost - activity type

Hi forum
I did confirmations in maintenance orders, but it was not the activity type to date. I have maintained the activity type in kp26 but the costs of the previous confirmations in the orders are not updated.
Could you help me to make it possible.
Best regards.

Hi,
If u have maintained cost for Activity type - Cost Center in KP26 then for earlier confirmation - try to cancel that confirmation using IW45 & again do confirmation via IW41 .. /i believe in this way it should udpate the costs ..

Revaluation of Activity type is not getting updated in Production Order

Hi,
I have run KSII , for actual activity price calculation. After this , the revalution of production orders was done.
But I am not finding any entry in Production order with a value of variance between Actual Price and Plan Price of the Activity type.
It sould come in the production order.
What can be the reason?
In OKEQ, for the Version '0' and the fiscal year, Revaluation has the entry ' 1.Own Business Transaction'. I hope this is correct.
But still the revalaution line item is not showing in Production Order.
Please help.
regards
Kamlesh

Hi Paolo,
Yes, MFN1 ran perfectly and I am also able to see the details in the screen.
My concern is, this revaluation should also have affect on Production order, thats what not happening.
Or let me know where can I see the affect of revaluation on Production orders.

Confirmation of activity type in Process order -Impact in FI.

Dear All,
On doing a confirmation of a activity type for a process/ Production order - values get posted to secondary cost element which has been assigned to a acitivity type. This means only a impact in controlling but not in FI
How woould the booking happens in FI ?is it not required to book in FI, if yes, why.
Please suggest.
Thanks.

Hi Daya
1. You can calculate activity price for plan in KSPI and for actual KSII for respective CCtr and activity type...but some times people manually update price at KP26 directly which in my opinion is not right way because price is either more or less than the real calculation in KSPI and KSII...
2. However in your case price is directly updated in KP26 against activity type..when confirmation is done in order this rate * activity qty is your value posted in order level and at the same time respective CCtr is also credited by this amount which you can see in CCtr report
   Example: CCtr XXXX01
                   Activity type 999999
                   Sec cost Element for activity type 999999 (43 cat)
    Suppose you have booked FI entries for some expenses like Salary in F-02/FB50...against CCtr XXXX01   So your CCtr XXXX01 is debited by Salary amount and this amount will be absorbed in product through activity for which you need activity price and confirmation.
    FI entry is booked your expense in GL a/c Salary and same time debited your CCtr through CE salary....Now when you charging this expense in product through prod order you are doing it through confirmation of activity qty which in turn calculating value by taking price from KP26 and qty from confirmation.

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

Activity type origin text doesn't have been showed on Cost analysis report

I have defined three acitivities TMAQ, TMO, CIF. But the origin text column of these acitivities is not showing in cost Analysis report(althoug the origin is showed), i.e. when we go to an order & navigate to "Cost Analysis". TCODE:CO02 (Production order)
Anyone knows how to show the origin text ?
Thanks a lot for your comments.
Vero

Hi Veronica
I think maybe it´s missing the description in language you are running the report.
Check transaction KL03 to see if the activity type has the description in the language you are logged.
If not go to KL02 and update the description and try to run it again.

Activity type is mandatory: enter value between 01 and 07

Hi guys,
I would like to ask you for help..
Recently I updated the App CRM Sales to 2.0.3
Now, when I try to create an activity/task in IPhone(IOs6), it shows me this error "Activity type is mandatory: enter value between 01 and 07".
Do I need to apply any SAP note?
Does anybody have any idea?

Eder.

Six activity types in a Resource but require more splits

Hi,
We got a limitation on the number of activity types to be assigned to the resource(work center) as such there shall be limitation on the splitting of Costs in cost component structure as well. So to tide over the difficulty, We can have one more dummy resource for utilities for assigning another six more activity types.
But without this arrangement of having extra resource, how template allocation aid in this. Pl explain in detail. Is there any way other than template allocation?. To be precise in my query, we need to use activity type for machine hour for splitting Repair & maintenance exp and Factory admn expenses, etc.
For your kind info, I do not want to use costing sheet due to its limitations.

Ashok Singh

Hi Ashok
There is a way... Take your PP consultant for a good dinner at a Five Star Hotel
Well, I had to face a similar situation and the PP guys had a lot of reservation against confirming an extra operation... What we agreed to was as below
1. I made them agree to maintain a 2nd operationin Routing...
2. PP guys wont confirm this operation... This would be confirmed in a batch mode at the period end.... However, in my case, the activity qty in 2nd operation was based on a formula i.e. based on the Qty confirmed in the 1st operation....
If you wish to adopt this approach, you may have to confirm the Standard Qty....
3. The solution was that I used BAPI BAPI_PRODORDCONF_CREATE_TT... I created a Z T code which would execute Date / Plant wise....
I gave all the options like executing in test mode first... checking the result and then posting in update mode
It would confirm the 2nd op in all those Prod Orders in which 1st operation was confirmed.... Ofcourse, it took 2-4 months to stabilize.... But now, it is running smoothly for over 2 yrs

Activity Type Price

Is it possible to maintain Activity Type Price in Currency other than Co Code and Cont Area?
If yes then How?

Hi,
Check with this.The activity amount you are planning in KP06 & KP26 with activity quantity & after run KSPI the rate will calculate & appear in KP26.
Now when you update the KP06 or KP26 it is based on the costcenter only.
Now do one thing even though your controlling area currency is different,now change the currency in cost center master data.Now do the update in KP06 & KP26 & try withh KSPI now check what curremcy it is updated in KP26.

Activity Types and Cost Centres

Our PP is not yet live now.
While going through the system settings, it is found that many activities (approx. 15 for indirect expenses also) are planned in the Production Cost Centres.
However, these activities are not included in the master data of the Work Centre. Only one activity type is mentioned there for machining.
Then, what is the purpose of other activity types planned if they are not mentioned in the Work Centre ?
Is there any other way these activity costs will appear in the Cost report ?

Hi,
You are almost on the right line, activity quantities will be triggered in the cost center report based on the routing master and through the confirmation from the production orders.
For the creation of the work center - Activity Planning KP26 is required. Cost center/Activity
where we can plan the activity quantities.
Prior to that KP06 is required to plan the primary cost combination of (Cost Element/Cost center/Activity Type) where we can plan the cost.
Based on the above information we can calculate the plan price - KSPI
Based on the confirmation from the production orders activity quantities will be updated in the center report. cost will be updated with actual postings in the cost center.
So that you can calculate the actual activity price.
Please look into the blog for better understanding:
