Planning Layouts for Cost Element/Activity Input Planning

Activity-independent and activity-dependent cost element planning (1 - 101)

With this planning layout you can plan:

Activity-independent and activity-dependent primary costs (cost element category 01, 04)

Revenues (cost element category 11, 12)

Activity-independent and activity-dependent settlement costs (cost element category 21)

Credits from overhead (cost element category 41)

The following table provides examples of planning records in this planning layout that can be used individually or collectively.

To use activity-dependent and activity-independent planning in one planning layout, proceed as follows:

Select Entry optional in the planning layout for the variable of the activity type group. This is the case for standard planning layouts.

In the initial planning screen, you must have:

Specified an activity type group including the initial value, or

Entered “*” for the activity type. This entry allows you to plan all activity types, including the initial value.

Activity-independent and activity-dependent primary costs

Revenues

Activity-independent and activity-dependent settlement costs

Credits from overhead rates

Activity-independent and activity-dependent secondary order costs

Activity-independent and activity-dependent secondary costs

The following table provides examples of planning records in this planning layout that can be used individually or collectively.

Local planning of total costs (1 - 161)

This planning layout allows you to plan locally (for each cost element) the total plan costs, without having to enter additional attribute values.

Centralized planning of total costs (1 - 162)

This planning layout allows you to plan centrally (for each cost center) the total plan costs, without having to enter additional attribute values.

Resource planning (1 - 1R1)

This planning layout lets you plan quantity-based primary costs.

The characteristics activity type, cost element, resource, consumption and costs are displayed together. The resource is a new characteristic that can be positioned anywhere in the layout: For example, in the header, in a lead column or in a value column. You can also include three new key figures in the planning layout for resource planning.

Price in the planned currency

Price in controlling area currency

Price unit

The system calculates as follows:

Fixed consumption quantity * Price = Fixed costs

Variable consumption quantity * Price = Variable costs

Total consumption quantity * Price = Total costs

Only the consumption quantities are displayed as ready for input in the planning layout.

It is possible to plan resources and cost elements in one planning layout. If the cost element and the resource are in the same lead column, and you enter only a resource, the system derives the cost element from the resource master data.

If you have executed detailed planning (by resource) for one or more cost elements, the system accumulates the costs below the cost element at resource level. These costs can then be used, for example, for distribution, assessment or plan cost splitting.

Value-based dependency planning

You use this planning layout for value-based planning of primary costs. You can add the following new key figures to the planning layout for value-based dependency planning:

Dependency type

Dependency source type

Fixed dependency price

Variable dependency price

Dependency source quantity

The system calculates as follows:

Fixed dependency price * Dependency source quantity = Fixed costs

Variable dependency price * Dependency source quantity = Variable costs

Depending on the dependency type, the fields Fixed dependency price, Variable dependency price, Plan fixed costs, and Plan variable costs in the planning layout are ready for input.

Quantity-based dependency planning

This planning layout lets you plan quantity-based primary costs. The characteristics activity type, cost element, resource, consumption and costs are displayed together. You can also include three new key figures in the planning layout for value-based dependency planning:

Dependency type

Dependency source type

Fixed dependency quantity

Variable dependency quantity

Fixed dependency price

Variable dependency price

Dependency source quantity

Fixed plan consumption

Variable planned consumption

The system calculates as follows:

Fixed dependency price * Dependency source quantity = Fixed costs

Variable dependency price * Dependency source quantity = Variable costs

Depending on the dependency type, the fields Fixed dependency qty, Variable dependency qty, Plan fixed consumption, Plan variable consumption, Plan fixed costs, and Plan variable costs in the planning layout are ready for input.

Activity-independent cost planning in transaction currency (1 - 151)

You can use this planning layout to plan costs in transaction currency.

Activity-independent cost planning for four quarters (1 - 152)

This planning layout allows you to plan by fiscal quarter.

Cost element planning in two versions (1 - 153)

You use this planning layout to enter plan values for two different versions. The SAP system calculates the difference between the two values.

Cost element planning with display of previous year figures (1 - 154)

This planning layout lets you display the previous year plan values for costs and consumption, in addition to the current plan values. The SAP system calculates the difference between the two values.

Planning activity output from a sender perspective (1 - 155)

This planning layout allows you to plan sender outputs. From a sender perspective, you plan: How high is the activity output of the sender?

Central planning of a cost element (1 - 156)

You can use this planning layout to plan centrally the costs and consumption of a cost element for all cost center/activity type combinations. The “Cost element” characteristic is in the planning layout header, the “Cost center/activity type” characteristic is in the rows.

Plan/actual comparison for cost elements (1 - 157)

With this planning layout, you can plan activity-independent costs while displaying the actual values of a comparison year.

Planning Layouts for Activity Types/Price Planning

Activity type planning (1 - 201)

Planning layout 1 - 201 lets you plan activity types on cost centers or cost center groups. The planning layout value columns contain the following key figures:

Planning Layouts for Statistical Key Figure Planning

Activity-independent statistical key figure planning (1 - 301)

You can use planning layout 1 - 301 to plan a current and a maximum value. Available attributes are Distribution key , Unit , Key figure type and Long text exists .

Activity-dependent statistical key figure planning (1 - 302)

Planning layout 1 - 302 contains the same value columns as the planning layout for activity-independent key figure planning. It differs only in the lead columns. While planning layout 1 - 301 has only one lead column (statistical key figure), planning layout 1 - 302 has two: Activity type and Statistical key figure . With this planning layout you can plan activity-independent and activity-dependent statistical key figures.

To use activity-dependent and activity-independent planning in one planning layout, proceed as follows:

Enter Entry optional In the planning layout as the variable for the statistical key figure group. This is defaulted for standard planning layouts.

In the initial planning screen, you must have:

Specified a statistical key figure group that includes the initial value, or

Entered “*” for the statistical key figure. This entry allows you to plan all statistical key figure, including the initial value.

You can use this planning layout to plan a current value. Available attributes are Distribution key , Unit , Key figure type and Long text exists .

Simplified centralized statistical key figure planning (1 - 362)
