Controlling - Cost center and activity type planning

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I would like to have your inputs (document) on the captioned subject.

1.In tcode KP26, what does fixed and variable price indicate?

2.If I want the system to calculate prices iteratively, what should be the settings and how should i execute it? (I am clear abt the settings relating to AT master data i.e price indicator and AT Category and settings in version maintainence relating to iterative prices)

3. How cost splitting and predistribution of costs play a role in determing the AT prices?(in Price calculation)

4. When exactly the price calculation method come into picture?

5. How frequently we can calculate the prices ?(actual price calculation by the system)

I have idea on the subject but would be thankful if any of u can put the all these concepts and the methodolgy followed in cost center and activity type planning and actuals.

Thanking you in advance.

Hi,

KP26 is meant for activity planning .In business scenario's,It so happenns that there will not be clear info on many things .The fixed component means that amonut you are planning to spend on the activity .Variable price maens that you know the per unit price like labour rate rs2/- per hour etc.If you want iterative process ,there should be some change in any of the parameters like labour,material etc.and you need to run KSPI to populate the per unit prices.If you want planned figures to populate you will use this.There is no frequency -its mgt decission
