Activity Type and Cost Element Assignment wrong

[Former Member]

The cost element appearing in Transaction code KP26

( Activity type planning), should come through the master data of the activity type.

What I am observing in my system, that for the combination of the Cost center and Actvity type , in KP26 the same cost element is not appearing as per the master data of Activity type. And also the cost element filed is gray. It is happening for 2008 financial year only.

How to correct this problem?

Is there ant note to be applied.?

This is normally a result of changing the CE while the Activity Type was active and in use (planned against and/or activity confirmed for some production orders).

One solution is to curtail the activity to the end of the period you are in and create a new one from the following period. Just beware that you may need to change the routings, splitting rules, etc. as well.

Cheers.

The problem was with the data input.
