Activity types represent the activity that a cost center produces. These are measured either in unit of time or quantity.
In organization, resources of one CC are used by another CC (Activities produced by one cost center are used by another cost center). To allocate cost from one CC to other we use activity types.
You can group different activity type into a group for reporting purpose.
You can create it by using transaction code KL01 or path;
Sap easy access menu > accounting > controlling > CCA > master data > activity type > individual processing > KL01 – create
In the initial creation screen you enter the name and the validity period. If you want it to be valid for ever then in the to field enter validity period as 31.12.9999.
