SAP has some standard cost element category for secondary element
creation. We create it for activity type, to relocate cost from one cost
object to another cost object. The cost element category we have to
use for activity allocation is “43 – internal activity allocation”.

To create secondary CE for activity type you can use transaction code
KA06 or below path;

SPRO > CONTROLLING > COST CENTER ACCOUNTING > MASTER DATA > ACTIVITY TYPE >

DEFINE COST ELEMENTS FOR ACTIVITY ALLOCATION

Relevant points while creating a secondary cost element for activity type;

Validity period must be entering correctly. If you want to have it created for a speci c
period then enter valid from and to led with your speci cation or else enter the end
date as 31.12.9999 to make the it valid for ever. 
You can create it with reference to an existing secondary cost element by entering it in
the initial creation screen.
