Asset Master and RE-FX

Our company is looking to implement RE-FX and PM. I am looking to find the link between the Asset Master and RE-FX. More specifically in the Asset Master under Time-dependent tab there is the "Location" field. Does this location field have any link with RE-FX? The situation we have is that we do not currently use the location field, however now we have one cost center that has assets in one building and some in another. This makes it difficult to track them and give proper value to the buildings. We hope to populate the location field and create a query so we can track them until we get RE-FX and PM implemented.
Any insight on the situation would be very appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
You can link 'Building' and 'Property' in the usage view with Assets in the assignment tab in the transaction REBDBU and REBDPR.

  • Asset sold and purchased back

    Hi Gurus,
    I wanted to find out how other companies handle this situation. We have an asset that was sold last year and it was purchased back this year. From what I understand from the user, is they wanted to see the history and total accumulated depreciation in AW01N (before the asset was sold and after it was purchased back) since it is the same asset.
    It will be recorded at the NBV at the time of purchase (APC less accumulated depreciation as if we owned the asset).
    For example, APC = $3000, asset life is 3 years. Asset sold after 1 year (NBV = $2000). Asset purchased on second year (NBV = $1000).  So we want to post using Gross method, showing asset value of $3000  and an accumulated depreciation of $2000. The remaining life should be 1 year.
    Is there a transaction in ABSO to do this? Do we put it back to the same asset number and remove the deactivation date? Will the monthly depreciation be the same?
    Thanks,
    Arnold

    Hi,
    Since you have sold your asset in last year, then now it should be treated as a new asset purchase as per the best practises.
    1) Create a sub asset number under your old main asset master and post the F-90 with the amount, which need to be paid back to your customer. Then you can have the history against the main asset atleast
    2) Or else, if you want to re-initiate your old asset master, try to reverse your sale entry with current date using AB08. In this case, i am assuming that you have to return the same amount of money, which you have taken from your customer last year when selling your asset. 
    I am not sure about the 2nd case, whether it is advisable or not.

  • Useful Life in Asset Master

    Hello
    We have created one fixed asset with a capitalization date as 20.10.2004.
    In the Depreciation Areas, we have given the Depreciation Starting Date as "01.01.2008"
                 and rate of Depreciation is 16.21%
                 userful life maintained in the master data is 5 Years
    Total Asset Acquistion value is 85.04$. System calculated the depreciation till 20.10.2009 from 01.01.2008 @ 16.21%. After that, the system is not calculated the depreciation from 21.10.2009.
    Based on the above points, our understandings are as follows:
    (a) System considered the capitlization date + useful life period for depreciation calculation. Hence no planned depreciation is appearing in AW01N from 21.10.2009
    (b) System considered the rate of depreciation based on depreciation key (16.21%) even thou, the useful life is maintained as 5 years
    Does my observations are correct ? please comment
    Besides, we need the following suggestions from you
    Does it possible to increase the useful life in the fixed asset master (since, the life  period is not expired and finance wants to consider the depreciation amount from 20.10.2009 onwards till the asset exprie)
    If yes, what is the step by step procedure to carry such changes ?
    Kindly revert
    Regards
    Anilkumar

    youare saying corret But you should be follow some  rules for calucation of deprecation
    System considered the capitalization date + useful life period for depreciation calculation not only this
    the system should be consideration the depreciation key , useful life , periods , ordinary depreciation for calculation depreciation  and in depreciation areas tab in asset master  we have to maintain like 1depreciation key 2.useful life 3.periods 4. ordinary depreciation start .if we give ordinary depreciation start date 21.10.2009 system will be calculated depreciation  21.10.2009 onwards. then only system  can run depreciation plan wise in AW01N .
    first we give the  ordinary depreciation start date in depreciation area tab in asset master .system  automatically will calculate depreciation  from these date on words.
    here Depreciation key determines for calculating the depreciation amount which controls the base method , period control method ,multiple method , decline balance method.
    which is possible to increase the useful life in asset master and also we can run depreciation from 20.10.2009 onwards till expire asset
    for this configuration
    1.Go for AFAMS multiple method and give the parameters such as acciquistion year ,  periods
    2.we have to activate depreciation key in AFAMA
    3.in as02  in depreciation area tab here we have to give the depreciation key , useful life , periods , ordinary depreciation start date
    I hope this is very useful

  • Purchase order date updating in asset master

    Dear Experts
    When we are creating the Purchase order With reference to the Asset, my client wants to Update the PO date automatically in asset master
    I have maintained the PO date as an optional field in asset master and created PR and Po with reference to the PR but in asset master data PO date not updating automatically.
    In above case what are the settings I have done in FI and MM?
    Regards
    Venkataswamy
    Edited by: venkataswamy bathini on Apr 25, 2011 1:49 PM

    Hi
    As far as I know, this is not updated automatically.. Asset Master is created earlier than PO... The PO date does not update automatically in asset master
    The capitalization date in asset master will be the date on which you do the GR....hence, PO date cant be the capitalization date...
    If you want to update the PO date in asset master for information sake, create a Z program which calls As02 in the background and updates the info on daily basis at day end

  • Asset master restiction till GRN

    Hi
    Can we restrict the asset been depreciate before it GRN.
    In current practice when we are going to purchase the asset we create the asset in the asset master and give the reference to PR, PO. When we pay advance that value shows as the asset master as down payment. And we run depriciation in the month end that advance payment value also get depreciate. But real case we didn't have the asset in real in our company it's just an advance payment.
    Is there any indicator in the asset master to restrict this...
    Pls...........Help on this

    Hello,
    Generally this is the case with AUC assets. When you make a advance payment to procure an asset. The advance payment is capitalized to the AUC assets. The AUC asset master will contain the useful life as "ZERO"  and the depreciation key no depreciation is calculated for this.
    When you receive the Vendor Invoice , the invoice should be cleared against the advance payment .
    Please assgin points as way of thanks.
    Thanks

  • Getting Segment in the Asset Master ( Using SEGMENT Badi and not Prt Ctrs)

    Hi,
    We need the field Segment to be populated in the Asset Master to get the correct P&L Statements ( The depreciation run, retirements etc to post to the Segments) . We are using the segment Badi: FAGL_DERIVE_SEGMENT to derive Segments and NOT the  Profit Centers
    However, the field Segment missing in Asset Master (Class). The field segment is missing the Time Dependent view while creating the Asset Master Data. This is so because in the Configuration of Asset Accounting --> Integration with GL --> Additional Account
    Assignment Objects is not showing the Segment field.
    According to SAP help, I CAN DO THIS as mentioned
    http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_05/helpdata/en/94/f13167dbae436a85a4a1d3ad75f274/frameset.htm
    But, as mentioned in the SAP help link above, I am not able to find " Activate segment reporting in
    Customizing for Asset Accounting under Integration with General
    Ledger --> Accounting Segment Reporting --> Activate Segment Reporting"
    Also, from another SAP Help link
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm700_ehp01/helpdata/en/fb/84a48d665e4fa9a2dc7b60adeb7c7d/frameset.htm
    I found that activation of Business Function FIN_GL_REORG_1
    or FIN_REP_SIMPL_3 could also get us the Segment Field in the Asset
    Master Data's Time Dependent Field
    However, when I goto Transaction SFW5 - Change Business Function Statuswe are not able to find these Business Functions (FIN_GL_REORG_1
    or FIN_REP_SIMPL_3 )
    Regards
    KS

    Hi, Activate segment reporting is available only in EHP5.
    If you'renot using EHP5, then you can't to update segment as well as profit center in asset master data.
    The only way is to put co objects in asset master data, and derive PC,segment based on this co objects

  • Depriciation key and useful life periods in asset master should in display mode only

    Hi all
    At the time of creation asset master AS01 we are given the Asset class, company code and similar of asset (1) then we click enter button we will get Create asset: master data screen here in general tab we enter the description and in time dependent tab we enter cost center manually
    But
    When we click on Depreciation tab here the  Depreciation key and use life fields are automatically come with Dep.key(ABC) and use life(15) (Because we maintained in OAYZ)
    Here user have a chance to change the Dep.key(ABC) and use life(15).so my requirement is these two fields are display with only display mode .
    User don’t have chance to modify this.

    Hi Anil,
    The screen layout for Asset and its depreciation tab are different. You have to make these fields as Display only in the screen layout. This can be done using T-Code AO21. Below are the screenshots for the path and screen layout for your reference. This should solve your issue

  • Asset master validation GGB0 and OACV

    Dear All,
    I want to create a validation in Asset maser time-dependent tab to make sure the Responsible cost center of the WBS  element and Cost center of asset master  should match, if not, error should thrown. my problom is in logical field group 3(time dependent data) already there is validation in OACV, so system is not allowing me to create one more validation in the same area, when i try it is throwing error " an entry already exits with the same key ".. so i written my logic in the old validation which checks location, it is working fine. and some people are saying when it moves to production it will overwrite the original one. but we moved from dev client to quality, we did not find any problom, both the logics in one validation are working fine, what happens if move to production,.
    is it overwrite the old validation.
    cant we give two validation in the logical field group 3( time dependent tab.),, your inputs are highly appreciated.
    validation for asset master.- GGB0
    per company code activation for asset master.- OACV

    Hi,
    You should simply add additional step in your current validation, without creating a new one. So, in OACV the definition stays the same; only there will be a new step within your current validation.

  • Synchronization of Asset master records and Equipment Number

    Dear friends,
    We are facing problem with the Equipment number that automatically gets generated during the Asset creation.
    We used Internal number range for Equipments which is similar to Asset numbers and whenever an Asset created automatically Equipment get created with same number as the number ranges we maintained are same.
    Recently we implemented Sub-Asset process and After implementing Sub-asset concept in to our Asset accounting the synchronization is not happening.
    Can some one tell how I can come over this issue.
    Ex:      Asset 12045          Equipment Number  12045
         Asset 12046          Equipment Number  12046
         Asset 12045-1          Equipment Number  12047
    How can I address this?
    Should I go for External number range ? if Yes, then how can I do after so many Equipments got created with Internal number range.
    Thanks,
    KK

    Hi KK
    There is no sub number range in equipment as we have for assets.  So you will not match the number range beween assets and equipments records whenever you go for sub assets. 
    We have this scenario and we are not matching the asset number to equipment records.
    If you still want to have the same numbers, then you can go for external number range as proposed by you.
    thanks
