Executing Activity Type Planning 

Procedure

To plan activity types:

·        Select a standard profile, such as SAP101.

·        Choose Accounting → Controlling → Cost centers → Planning → Activities/prices → Change.

For more information about planning and changing planning screens, see Executing Manual Planning and Techniques for Supporting Manual Planning

 

 

Activities which cannot be planned, or only at great expense, do not have to be planned manually (activity type category 3). The activity quantities are calculated automatically through indirect activity allocation (see: Indirect Activity Allocation).

Result

The planning of quantifiable activities, which are valuated using iteratively determined or manually set prices, leads to secondary costs on the receivers of the activity. The system updates these secondary costs under an allocation cost element defined in the activity type master data.
