Change validity end date on activity type

[Former Member]

Is there a way to change the validity end date of an activity typre. Currently it is 9999 we would like to change it to 2011.

We would like to use a particular activity to cost current standards but dont want to use it for planned estimates that we will create for 2011. I am assuming if the validity ends in 2011 it will resolve the problem. I know we could create alternate routings and different production version but I am trying to avoid that and see if we can find a short cut.

Your help in this regard will be much appreciated

I did a bit of research and found out that if I change the analysis period let say from 2012 to 9999 and than go to kl04 and delete the activity period for that analysis period (validity dates) I might have some success. However I got the message saying "deletion is not possible, dependent records exists in table cssl) I checked to make sure that I delete all the planning data for the activity in KP26 for 2012 and save it. Howeve it still gives the same error message

Hi

You are right... Once you have planned any thing for this act type, you cant delete it in the current fiscal year...

You can only delete in the next fiscal year... Even though you removed the planned data from KP26, that does not delete the record from Table

Hi,

it is possible, that the control record in table CSSL is not deleted when the planned activity is deleted. Then the control record can be deleted with the report RKPLNC29, if no transaction data exists for the concerned cost center/activity type combination in the concerned fiscal year.

Hey Greta,

I executed the report but it says ,"The deletion could not be carried out, plan records still exict on cost center for activity type." I have deleted every thing from kp26 for that particular combination of activity type and Cost center.

Any ideas as to what is happening!!
