kss4 and kspi

[Former Member]

hi,

I a bit confused of these 2 tcode kss4 and kspi. need confirmation if my understanding is correct.

1. All the expenses plan on one cost center ( CC = 1100) from primary cost element (KP06) Example say 400 Rs

2. 2 activity type assigned to CC 1100

3. Planned quantity of that Activity are Activity Power = 4 Quantity and Activity Labour = 6 Quantity in KP26 in Planned Field.

4. So when we run KSS4 Splitting, system will divide total plan cost of CC 1100 .i.e. rs 400 by 2 activity which will be equal to 200 Rs in Each activity. (according to splitting structure okes/okew and for simplicity sake, average them)

5. Now when we run KSPI – Price Calculation, system check the plan quantity in each activity ( 4 and 6 quantity) and divide the cost in each activity by that quantity

Example

Power = 200 divide by 6 = 33.333 Rs

Labour= 200 divide by 4 = 50 Rs.

may i know if the above understanding of kss4 (split cost from cost center to activity) and kspi (splitted cost by activity divided by activity quantity) correct?

thanks

Hi Srina,

At the time of KSS4. system will distribute the rs .400 in 2:3 ratio . Power = 160 and Labour = 240 . It is based on your splitting rule .

While you calculatting KSPI The rates will be Power = 160/4= 40 and labour = 240/6= 40 .

hi,

thanks for the reply.

i have 1 more doubt.

may i know where to define to split the cost into fixed cost and variable cost in kp26? is it done in splitting structure okes? or kss4 or kspi? i mean at which point can define and how to know how much goes to fixed and how much goes to variable?

thanks

Dear srina,

The fixed and variable cost you have to define in kp06 only as per the fixed and variable cost you defined system will split the cost as per splitting structure. see the attached kp06 screen shot

hi,

1

in your kp06, i see there is actiivty.

for my case, let say only cost center and cost element. here i need to define fixed and variable cost in kp06.

then when come to splitting structure, the cost will split into fixed and variable accordingly via kss4 which subsequently, kspi to have fixed and variable cost in kp26.

correct?

2

if no split of fixed and variable in kp06, there is only 1 cost to update in kp26 only.

correct?

By planning cost with activity type is called activity independent planning in this you can not plan variable cost. If you want you can update in kp26 fixed variable proportion.

2

if no split of fixed and variable in kp06, there is only 1 cost to update in kp26 only.

correct?

Yes, but manually we can update variable price also in KP26.

Dear srina,

your understanding of the splitting structure is wrong....... because in splitting structure you will define activity type cost element and splitting rule. so you can define one cost element in one group only accordingly the cost will pick the system if the cost is splitting equally among the activities is wrong.

Your understanding of plan price calculation (KSPI) is correct.
