Link Between Activity Types and Activity Input Planning
Use
A direct link exists between activity type planning and activity input planning. This can have the following effects:
If you change the price of an activity type, or if you change your activity type planning so that a new iterative price results, the SAP System recalculates all activity inputs on cost centers that have received this activity type.
The SAP System updates the scheduled activity on the sender cost centers. The scheduled activity comprises the plan activity quantity of an activity type for all receiver cost centers and orders. When you plan the activity input of an activity type, the system identifies the total activity quantity used by the receivers as "scheduled activity".
Note
If the scheduled activity is not the same as the plan activity after activity input has been planned, then your planning may contain inconsistencies: The plan credit of the sender cost center that was posted by the SAP System as a preliminary credit to this cost center does not equal the total of debits on the receivers. This means that either more or less activity was used than was planned on the sender cost center. You should therefore carry out plan reconciliation after completing your planning.
