Method for Activity Price Calculation

[Former Member]

Experts,

We are trying to calculate the Activity Price by first using LTP to get the activity hours, and then use KSPP to push them to CO.

1. Is that the best methodology to calculate the Activity Price? or is there a better alternative?

2. In LTP when we run MRP for the relevant planning scenario, the MRP list is created even for those material which do not have any Planned Independent Requirements. However if we only add selected materials to the planning file that Problem is solved. But it is a tedious process, is there a better way to avoid the non-relevant materials from being planned?

3. After pushing the activity hours to CO via KSPP we are trying to reconcile the activity hours via cost estimates via CK11N. But there are discrepancies between them, even though we are using the same lot size and the same Recipe. What could be the problem?

I will greatly appreciate your input.

Regards

Dear Mad,

1.In SAP it is the best method to get the activity price

2.Even if the material w/o PIR is considered what is the problem?, system will not create any requirement, i feel ther is no problem.

3. what do you mean by reconsile the activity hrs? You need to distribute the qty in the planning table-MFS0.all the months the capacity should be 100%, should be over load.

4.if every thing is correct then in KSPP you will not get un allocated activities. then you will not get any problem.

please come back if you need more help

Rajesha,

Thank you for you response, however, I still need some additional clarifications:

1. I was not using MFS0 before KSPP; after running MS01/MSBT I would run KSPP in test mode to check the Activity Hours calculated. The Result of KSPP Included materials for which I had not created any PIRs, and I guess that means the system is creating Requirements for them. And these materials were not just dependent materials, but included finished goods as well. That is why I was trying out limiting the planning file entries. What do you think would the best approach in this regard?

2. What role does MFS0-Planning Table serve, and I would appreciate if you could walk me through the MFS0 process with additional details.

Dear Mad,

1. Running MRP does not mean that capacity perfectly loaded. For which we need MFS0 to balance the load.

2.Without creating any PIR, there will not be any requirement generated, please check it is not possible, unless there is a dependent requirement from other material, check in MS04 for that material, what is the pegging element.

3.FOR MFS0---IT IS USED IN rem,

To access capacity planning from the stock/requirements list(ms04), proceed as follows:

Starting from the stock/requirements list, choose Goto ® Capacity situation.

The system displays a dialog box entitled Settings for Capacity Planning.

Enter the necessary settings and choose .

The system displays the evaluation of the capacity situation in an overview screen.
