Calculation of Planned and Actual costs in an activity

[Former Member]

Hello All,

How can we capture the Planned and Actual costs of all the activity elements (Activity Internal / Material Components) in an activity?

I have an activity by name: Concreting Work, in this acitivity i have activity elements as mentioned below

Concreting Work -

---

> Activity

Labour 50 H -

---

> Activity Element

Self Loder 5 H -

---

> Activity Element

Vibrator 2 H -

---

> Activity Element

Water Tanker 4 H -

---

> Activity Element

Two Wheller 2 L -

---

> Activity Element

Four Wheller 1 L -

---

> Activity Element

01-SAND 2 M3 -

---

> Materail Component

01-CEMENT 80 BAG-------> Materail Component

01-MAT-12 5 M3 -

---

> Materail Component

01-MAT-20 4 M3 -

---

> Materail Component

01-MAT-40 1 M3 -

---

> Materail Component

Now my query is that is there a way in which i can see all the Plan/Actual costs of the activity elements, (Activity Internal / Material Components) of the activity Concreting Work.

Hi,

Use CN41/CN41N and other PS reports under PS01.

Hello,

Thanks for your replies,

i was trying to execute the report "S_ALR_87013532 - Costs -> Plan-Based -> Hierarchical -> Plan/Actual/Variance ", here i am able to track the Plan/Actual costs of the activity.

But in this report , i can only see the activity elements but not the material components of the activity.

The Plan value of concreting is Rs.10000/-, which includes the activity element cost of Rs. 2500/- and the material component cost of Rs. 7500/-.

But when I execute the report, the display is as follows, here I am unable to see the material components but the cost is included in the output.

Concreting (10000)

>activity elements (2500)

Can any one tell me why the cost of material components are not displayed in this report "S_ALR_87013532 - Costs -> Plan-Based -> Hierarchical -> Plan/Actual/Variance ",

Regards,

Sudarshan

in S_ALR_87013532 all costs will appear against the activity - this is because you are using activity account assignment in your network profile - meaning the cost collector is the network activity - as far as the system is concerned the labour, material etc are all types of cost collected by the activity

[nitin_patoliya]

Go to report S_ALR_87013532 and check your DB profile Material Componentt might not selected there. That why report is not showing you. Select material Component in DB profile ( use DB profile 000000000001 ) and execute the report. Apart from that As Virendra told PS cost component is Network activity based on configuration, show all the cost will get diaplyed against netwrok activity.

Hello Virendra,

Thanks for your reply.

I didnot get you in your earlier reply.

Can you please elobarate the same, as to why the material components are not displayed in this report "S_ALR_87013532 - Costs -> Plan-Based -> Hierarchical -> Plan/Actual/Variance".

Here the Activity cost calculation gives me the addition of activity elements and material components, but display is only for activity elements.

Hello Nitin,

The DB profile that i am using is 000000000001 and in this profile, i have checked the material component in this DB profile, but this check box is already checked. Inspite of that i am unable to view the material components in the report.

Hi Sudarshan,

I think you should go through Virendra's reply once again. It clearly mentions that in your case all the costs are collected at the activity level hence the costs are displayed cumulatively at the activity level.

You might as well try what Nitin has suggested.

yes all the plan and actual costs will be visible in PS reports

Transaction PS01 - go to Financials
