Cost center planning - price calculation

[Former Member]

Hi gurus,

(I am new to Controlling, and so please bear with me if I ask you basic questions)

My ultimate goal is to create a plan/actual variance report for the 'Painting' activity.

This is what I have done so far.

1. As a first step, I created an activity type - Painting - with the unit of measurement 'hour'.

2. I created a cost element (category 42), so I can allocate the costs incurred for this activity to other cost centers.

3. In tcode KP26, I entered the plan values for each of the periods and chose the value of the price as 0001 (default value). However, I would like to enter a price of $10/hour for this activity.

However, I dont understand how to assign a price to this activity. How do I make this configuration setting?

Also, how do I post 'actual' values for this activity type? I am asking this because the 'unit of measurement' is hour, and usually all the FI transactions are in $.

Thanks in advance for your guidance.

Regards,

Vijay.

For actual, before run KSII, you must run KSS2.
