Cost Capturing through DIP Profile

[MohanDesai]

Hi All,

DIP profile is assigned properly to get the cost from project. When the posting is done through KB11N the cost is appearing in DP91 but no cost is getting pickedup from CJ20N(Extenally Processed Activity or PR raised from Materail Component in Project). What could be the reason?.

Regards,

MRD

hi mohan

also check KB21N, this may work for your requirement.

Hi Srihari,

If I don't use activity type will it be useful?. The screen in KB21N has Cost Center & Activity Type.

Hi MRD,

KB21n is for direct activity allocation.

Activity type field is mandatory there.

Thanks Pranav.

The point is I want the cost to get pickedup from project as I am using DIP Profile. I don't want to use KB21N or KB11N. What is the parameter probably I am missing in DIP Profile or  at Project level.

My project doesn't have activity type(KL01).

Hi Mohan,

                I am not sure but I think the problem is somewhere related to DIP profile vis a vis characteristics maintained in ODP1 (hope, you have assigned DIP profile in project profile).

Please check characteristics related to 'Material' (check box->CharactRelevnt) & 'Cost Element'(check box->CharactRelevent & Mat. Determination) .

Please check.

Hi All,

Thanks for your responses. Actually I was using planned cost components in the project. I created a procurement object for which PR got generated automatically and I used an externally processed activity and it will be a planned component only. 1.     Selected Planned Costs-Total records(0021) with Actual Costs-Total Records.   2. The other setting I selected is Billing Relevance 'B' in VOV7 transaction.

I am closing the thread.

Thanks again- Srihari,Pranav & Ankur.
