Plan Cost splitting

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I am facing problem in Plan Cost Splitting.

I made a planning of cost element in KP06 and activity planning in KP26 for all cost centers. Now executed distribution wherein Service cost centers cost got apportioned over Production cost centers.

Now In splitting ,I have defined a structure and rule as well which specifies that cost should be splitted on Activity Qty. I have also assigned cost elements to the respective activities in Splitting structure.

But in Test run, when I execute plan splitting, the values are not matching. Mean, If I check the report of S_alr_87013611 wherein I select cost element group which has been assigned to specific activity, the value shown by the report for a particular cost center is not matching with the figure appearing in test splitting report for that particular cost center and for that activity.

I checked out the difference and found that , in splitting, system is ignoring the that cost which was entered through KP06 and considering only the value which has been received by Distribution. Also , the cost element which has not been assigned to any activity is getting splitted as per the rule mentioned.

What could be the reason for this and how to rectify the same?

Can anybody help me out?

Hi Makrand,

Point No.1: When you say that the system is not considering the values you planned in KP06 but considering the values which have come by Distribution, system is behaving correctly.

Because, when you do the planning in KP06 for certain cost elements, you are doing it against certain activity type. So, for the cost elements which you planned in KP06, splitting structure is not applicable.

Splitting structure will be applicable for the expenses which have come through distribution only.

Point No.2: When you say that for the cost elements which you have not mentioned in splitting structure are also being considered in the same way as those of mentioned in splitting structure, i would suggest you to check the cost element group.

If not, pls give the rule "equal distribution among the activity types" for those cost elements which dont need to be absorbed based on activity quantity.

I hope this will work out...

Hi Srikanth,

Thanks for the correct explanation. I have worked out the thing and now the results are correct.

One more thing to ask is if I want to consider both the costs in splitting i.e the cost entered in KP06 for activities as well as those got distributed through Distribution, what is to be done?

Is there any other way to make planning in KP06?

Hi,

If you want to consider the Cost Elements which you have planned in KP06 to be split among the activity types basing on the Qtys, then, DO NOT plan those cost elements in KP06 agains Activity Types.

Do Activity Independent Planning in KP06 (i.e., only cost center and cost element you will mention in KP06 parameters screen) and plan the cost.

Then you mention these cost elements in you splitting structre.

In this case, you have planned all the cost in the cost centers (activity independent) and you are telling the system to allocate that cost among activities based on the quantities.

It will work out...

Hi Srikanth,

Once again Hearty thanks for the reply. I planned the cost element and activities independently and now it's working. System is considering all cost.
