Procedure

To plan costs in a foreign currency, you must cross off the relevant field in the planning parameters and enter a value in primary cost planning.

Use

If you cross off the relevant field in the planning parameters, the SAP System automatically calculates the costs in cost center currency, order currency,and controlling area currency. The costs are converted in the following order:

Costs in transaction currency -> costs in controlling area currency -> costs in cost center and order currency

Examples

Note

  • You can only plan costs in a foreign currency if you specified in configuration with the "All currencies" indicator that these update the controlling area and fiscal year. You receive a warning message if this is not the case. If you ignore the warning, the planning parameters entered are used, but you can only plan the costs in the CO area currency.
  • You should make sure that entries are defined in the exchange rate table for any exchange rates that may be needed.

    Maintain Exchange Rates

  • If an update in a particular foreign currency is allowed, you can display all the currency field groups irrespective whether these are planned manually or not.

Supplementary Documentation - PLANMANUAL0002

Procedure

If you want to plan costs in the cost center or order currency, you must flag this field.

Use

If this field is flagged, the system automatically calculates the costs in the controlling area currency.
However, if you also plan costs manually in the transaction currency, the system calculates the costs in the controlling area currency.
This does not apply if you calculate the costs manually in the controlling area currency.

If this field is not flagged, the system automatically calculates these costs from the costs in the controlling area currency.

Note

  • You can only plan costs in a foreign currency if you specified in configuration with the "All currencies" indicator that these update the controlling area and fiscal year. You receive a warning message if this is not the case. If you ignore the warning, the planning parameters entered are used, but you can only plan the costs in the CO area currency.
  • You should make sure that entries are defined in the exchange rate table for any exchange rates that may be needed.

    Maintain Exchange Rates

  • If an update in a particular foreign currency is allowed, you can display all the currency field groups irrespective whether these are planned manually or not.

Examples

Supplementary Documentation - PLANMANUAL0003

Procedure

To plan costs in the controlling area currency, you must cross off the relevent field in the planning parameters and enter a value in primary cost planning.

Use

If you activate the field in the planning parameters, the SAP System automatically calculates the costs in order currency and cost center currency.

If the field is not activated, the SAP System calculates the costs from the values in transaction currency, or in cost center or order currency, depending on which of the field groups is planned manually.

Examples

Note

  • You can only plan costs in a foreign currency if you specified in configuration with the "All currencies" indicator that these update the controlling area and fiscal year. You receive a warning message if this is not the case. If you ignore the warning, the planning parameters entered are used, but you can only plan the costs in the CO area currency.
  • You should make sure that entries are defined in the exchange rate table for any exchange rates that may be needed.

    Maintain Exchange Rates

  • If an update in a particular foreign currency is allowed, you can display all the currency field groups irrespective whether these are planned manually or not.

Supplementary Documentation - PLANMANUAL0004

Use

Field used to plan the consumption of a primary cost element for statistical use.

Procedure

If you want to plan consumption as well as costs on the cost elements, you must activate the relevant field in the planning parameters.

If the field is not activated, you cannot enter or change the plan consumption, but merely display it.

You can only enter the consumption when planning primary costs if the "Record quantity" indicator is crossed off in the master record of the primary cost element and a unit of measure is specified.

Examples

Note

Planning parameters which are not intended for planning consumption cannot be used with cost planning in product costing because all field groups are required there.

Supplementary Documentation - PLANMANUAL0005

Use

You can enter both planned and actual values for this field group; it is used to characterize cost centers.

You can use the values

  • to form ratios in reporting (e.g. costs per employee), or
  • as the basis for allocations (e.g assessment key).

Procedure

If you want to change or create the current value of statistical ratios during planning, you have to flag this field.

If you do not flag this field, you can still display this current value.

Examples

Note

Supplementary Documentation - PLANMANUAL0006

Use

You can only enter values for this field group during planning.

You can use the values

  • to form ratios in reporting, or
  • as a basis for allocations (e.g. assessment key).

Procedure

If you want to change or create the maximum value of statistical ratios, you have to flag this field.

If you do not flag this field, you can still display this maximum value.

Examples

Note

Supplementary Documentation - PLANMANUAL0007

Use

You can enter both planned and actual values for this field group; it is used to measure the output of a cost center.

The credit to the cost center is determined from the result of the planned or actual quantity multiplied by the current planned activity price.

Procedure

If you want to change or create the activity quantity during planning, you have to flag this field.

If you do not flag this field, you can still display this value.

Examples

Note

Supplementary Documentation - PLANMANUAL0008

Use

You can only enter values for this field group during planning; it describes the maximum possible output of a cost center when using all available resources.

Procedure

If you want to change or create the capacity of activities, you have to flag this field.

If you do not flag this field, you can still display the capacity.

Examples

Note

Supplementary Documentation - PLANMANUAL0009

Use

You can enter both planned and actual values for this field group; it is used to enter the output of a cost center using a different unit of measurement from that for the activity quantity.

You can determine this output either manually or automatically from the result of "activity quantity * output factor".

The output factor is defined in the activity master. You can overtype this default value when you first plan an activity on a cost center using the function "Edit" --> "Control data".

Procedure

If you want to change or create the output during planning, you have to flag this field.

If you do not flag this field, you can neither change nor display this value.

Examples

Activity "LATH01" describes the activity provided by lathe number 1 in the company. This lathe produces 35 pieces in one activity unit (e.g. 1 hour). The output factor is therefore 35. If the running time of the machine is 80 hours each month, the output would be:

80 hours * 35 pieces/hour = 2800 pieces.

Note

Supplementary Documentation - PLANMANUAL0010

Use

This field group is used to manually enter an activity price (political price) on a cost center. This value is stored in the cost center currency.

The credit to the cost center is determined from the planned or actual activity quantity multiplied by the current planned activity price.

Procedure

If you want to enter the activity prices manually, you have to flag this field.

If you do not flag this field, the value is automatically determined from the price in the controlling area currency, provided this is planned manually and the conditions for the update (see note) have been fulfilled. In this case, you can also display this value.

Examples

Note

The system only updates this field group if the indicator for updating all currencies is flagged for the relevant controlling area and fiscal year. If not, you can plan the activity prices in the controlling area currency only.

In activity allocation when determining the debits and credits, the price in the cost center currency is used in the first case and the price in the controlling area currency is used in the second case.

Use

Procedure

Examples

Dependencies

If you create equipment task lists or standard task lists for functional locations without entering short text, the system transfers the short text for the equipment or the functional location as short text in PM scheduling.

Supplementary Documentation - PLANTEXT 3000

Use

This text is transferred to the first line of the routing long text.

For maintenance plans with the maintenance call object notification, you do not, as a rule, have to assign a task list to a maintenance item.

You should only specify a task list if you later want to combine the generated notifications in an order using the list editing function for notifications ("Worklist for planned maintenance").

If you generate an order using the worklist, the system copies the operations of the task list to the order.

Dependencies

Example

Supplementary Documentation - PLAN_TOTAL0001

Use

This field group is used to weight the activity types created on a cost center. The activity-independent costs planned on a cost center are assigned to the activity types based on this weighting.

Examples

You have planned the following activity types on cost center 4420:
ActType Planned qty Equiv.no.
------------------------------------------
PHR 400 hours 3
REP 50 hours 1
STP 20 hours 1
------------------------------------------
Total: 5
You have planned US$20,000 in activity-independent costs on this cost center. Activity price calculation assigns these activity-independent costs on the iteratively-calculated activity prices (cost rates) of the activity types as follows:
ActType Fixed costs Fixed portion of price
--------------------------------------------------------------
PHR 20,000 * 3/5 = 12,000 12,000 US$ : 400 hrs = 30 US$/hr
REP 20,000 * 1/5 = 4,000 4,000 US$ : 50 hrs = 80 US$/hr
STP 20,000 * 1/5 = 4,000 4,000 US$ : 20 hrs = 200 US$/hr

Supplementary Documentation - PLAN_TOTAL1001

Use

Planning

  • Activity input to receiver cost centers, orders, projects, or cost objects (product costing)
  • Activity quantities issued on sender cost centers

The plan/actual consumption multiplied by the activity price equals the debit to the receiver cost center or order and the equivalent credit to the sender cost center.

Procedure

You cannot change the "Plan manually" indicator in the CO activity input part of the planning parameters. In activity-input planning you can enter or change a value in this field group.

In the activity-dependent activity input part, you must cross off the relevant indicator if you want to enter or change the total consumption or fixed consumption manually.

If you do not cross off this indicator, you cannot plan any consumption, but only display existing consumption.

Examples

Note

You can post both plan and actual values to these field groups.

Supplementary Documentation - PLAN_TOTAL1006

Use

Field group used to plan the maximum possible output of a cost center making full use of all the available resources.

Procedure

If you want to enter or change the activity capacity in cost center planning, you must cross off the "Plan manually" field in the planning parameters.

If the "Plan manually" field is not crossed off, the plan activity capacity can only be displayed.

Examples

Note

This field group is only posted in planning.

Supplementary Documentation - PLAN_TOTAL1007

Use

Field group used to plan the output of an activity on a cost center in a unit of measure different from the activity quantity.

You can determine this output by multiplying the activity quantity by the output factor either manually or automatically by using the menu path Edit -> Calculate output.

The output factor is defined in the activity master. You can overwrite the default value when you first plan an activity on a cost center by using the menu path Edit -> Control data.

Procedure

If you want to create or change the planned output, you must cross off the "Plan manually" field in the planning parameters.

You can neither change nor display the output if the "Plan manually" field is not crossed off.

Examples

"TURN01" is the name of the activity performed on lathe No. 1 in the factory. This lathe produces 35 pieces within one hour. The output factor is thus 35. If the machine runs for 80 hours a month, the output equals

80 hours * 35 pieces/hour = 2800 pieces.

Note

This field group can be posted with both plan and actual values.

Supplementary Documentation - PLAN_TOTAL1008

Supplementary Documentation - PLAN_TOTAL1010

Use

Field group used to set manually the total (fixed + variable) or fixed internal price of an activity on a cost center. The SAP System stores this value in cost center currency.

The credit to the cost center is derived from the plan or actual quantities taken by other cost centers multiplied by the plan activity price.

Procedure

To set the activity prices manually, you must

  • cross off the relevant field in the planning parameters
  • set the activity price to "3" with the menu path Activity price -> Edit -> Control data
  • assign a realistic value to the activity price

If you do not cross off the field in the planning parameters, the SAP System automatically calculates the activity price in cost center currency using the controlling area currency, provided the required conditions are met (see note). In this case, the activity price is displayed in controlling area currency, but cannot be changed manually.

Examples

Note

This field group is only updated if the "Update all currencies" indicator is active for the relevant controlling area and fiscal year. If the indicator is not active, you can only plan activity prices in controlling area currency.

If the indicator is active, the activity price in cost center currency is used to calculate the debits and credits in cost allocations. If the indicator is not active, the activity price in controlling area currency is used instead.

Supplementary Documentation - PLAN_TOTAL1011

Use

Field group used to set manually the total (fixed + variable) or fixed internal activity price on a cost center in controlling area currency.
