Activity Type Master Data
You can maintain the master data of activity types using time-based dependencies (see:
Time-Based Dependencies of Master Data). The following time-based dependencies are possible in the SAP-R/3-System:The following table shows the activity type master data according to time dependency:

Description |
Description of activity type |
D |
Activity unit |
Unit of measure in which the activity is allocated |
Y |
Cost center categories |
Cost center categories for which the activity types is valid for planning and allocation |
D |
Activity type category, Actual activity type category |
Defines whether, and how, the activity type is to be entered and allocated (default value) |
Y |
| Allocation cost element |
Secondary cost element, under which the activity type is allocated (default value, can be overwritten in activity type planning) |
Y |
Price indicator, |
Defines how the price of the activity type is to be calculated on a cost center (default value) |
Y |
Average prices |
Defines whether the prices of cost centers/activity types remain constant for the complete fiscal year (default value) (see: 
procedure for price calculation)) |
Y |
Predistribution of fixed costs |
Determines whether or not fixed costs are to be distributed in advance to the cost centers receiving the activity (default value) (see:
predistribution of fixed costs). |
Y |
Plan quantity set |
If you set this indicator, the planned activity quantity is not changed by plan reconciliation - even where planning for the object is not to be reconciled. |
Y |
Actual quantity set |
Determines whether, in addition to the allocated activity type quantity credited to the cost center, you can also post a manual quantity (default value) |
Y |

Lock indicator |
Locks the activity type against the planning of activity inputs |

You can specify an alternative output unit if the output of the activity type is measured in a different unit from that used by the activity type itself.
One hour of the activity "Lathing" produces 10 drills. The activity unit is "Hour", the alternative output unit is "Piece". You can also specify an output factor, in this case "10".
The system is able to automatically derives the output from the scheduled activity, using the alternative output unit and the alternative output factor.
You can add user-defined additional fields to activity type master data. To do this, use the enhancement COOMLA01 Activity type: User-defined additional fields in the master data record. You can maintain the additional fields on a tab page in the relevant individual processing of the master data. You can use these additional fields to select master data in selection variants for deletion or for list display
You create additional fields in Customizing (IMG) for Cost Center Accounting. Choose Master Data
For more information on enhancement COOMLA01 see the documentation for the enhancement. You can display the documentation if you assign the enhancement to a project in the enhancement transaction CMOD.
