Procedure how the secondary cost element is linked to the activity type.

Hi,

I need clarity on how we link the secondary cost elemnet to the activity type. Why do we do this.

I know that when we creata an activity in KL01, we give the secondary cost element for allocation. What allocations do we do internally from Co to Co? Please guide me with an example. The expenses posting would have been done in Fi and Co, then allocation has to be taken place, I am not sure how this happens.

We were using three different secondary cost elements and these are assigned to 18 different activities. We have new requirement to assign one of these cost elements to all the 18 activities, would that be possible if we change the allocation cost element in the activity type in KL02.

I have changed the things in KL02, but but still the other secondary cost elements which were assigned before are getting filled with the amounts.

Where else should I check.

Please assist,

Thanks,

Shilpa.
