Control to not posts costs during activity confirmation

[Former Member]

Hi PS gurus

Is there a way in config to prevent costs to be booked while confirming an activty through CJ20n transaction

i want the costs to be booked only through CATS and not through any other transaction

Is it possible. I couldnt find any config to control this???

As such there is no control in configuration for this.

I want to understand the purpose here,

1) Do you mean to say that there will be no actual hours booked from activity confirmation ? If yes, then you can hide actual hours field in field selection for confirmation screen. This way a user will not be able to put the actual hours in confirmation.

However the CAT2 and CATA will be updating the actual hours update.

See if this can work in your case.

Indirectly you can control the same via activity type, In Cj20n Give activity type and work center diff. where there is KP26 record is maintained with zero values. While in CATS use diff activity type and sender cost center where KP26 record is correctly maintained.

But, Nitin, If he maintains different work center and activity type which has zero value, then I believe even the planned cost will also be zero.

Yes definately. Planned cost will be zero for that activity. For tracking plannined cost he has to do manual plannning inn WBS Elemetns or in some other exteranl activity where material planning filed.

I do have some other ideas. Fundamnetally not complementing each other so I have not sahred here. Just sharing someone can check. As CATS and manual confirmation CJ20n both are confirmation so both will not work out, but stilll some doubt for option 1 in my mind.

1. In activity set cotrol key confirmation not possbile and see how system behaves while doing confimration from CJ20n and CATS

2. Remove Costing tick from control key and check how system behaves in CATS perticularly
