Could you please explain what kind of a charge you are trying to bring on to the network activity every month? Is it a settlement from another project or an order?

Thanks for your reply.

We have a fixed and variable cost on the project ..Variable cost will be labor, Mat.. etc.

The fixed cost kind of utility, rent etcu2026which is distributed over the full period of Project.

We are trying to get this done by creating an activity type with that rate as fixed... At the end of the month we should capture the actual ( 24hr*30 days) by confirmation of activity..

So looking for an automatic confirmation process..

Normally, you would use overhead calculation by means of a costing sheet (assigned through a costing variant to the project) to debit those costs to the project.

However, if your business requirement is to use an activity type with a planned rate for overhead, then you will need to create a manual confirmation (CN25/CN27). Better yet, you may want to book the cost as activity allocation using KB21N.

Hi

We already have Costing sheet. for other activities.

We are trying to avoid the manual part just for this fixed cost part..

So exploring the possibility of automatic confirmation.

Thanks for your help though..psconsultant
