Asset Retirement for Interco Asset, Partner not in SAP

Hello,
We need to retire an asset to another affiliate that is not in SAP, that is defined as a customer. In this case, which transaction needs to be used for this asset retirement. F-92 or ABT1N ?
What would be the difference ?
Regards,
Siri.

Hi Siri,
If you havent created affiliated company, then you can do it vide F-92.
The difference is if you do vide ABT1N, you can transfer assets simultaneously you can create new asset in affiliated compnay's books and all balances will be transferred.
If you do it vide F-92,Your affiliated company has to create assets separately and has to post acquisition entry in their books.
Hope it is clear.

Differentiating the asset class for group assets

Hi,
I want to create group assets in AS21. For creating group assets I want to create a seperate asset class. I could not find any option of differentiating the asset class for group assets in transaction OAOA (i.e., Define Asset Class)
How we can identify that an asset class can be used only for group assets and not for individual assets.

<<Plagiarised from http://help.sap.com/saphelp_45b/helpdata/en/4f/71dfff448011d189f00000e81ddfac/content.htm>>
HI
A group asset is represented in the system by a separate master record. The structure of this master record corresponds to the structure of the normal asset master record. You can determine the structure of this master record using screen layout control, just as you do for normal master records. Just the same as a normal asset, a group asset can have any number of sub-numbers. In this way it is possible, for example, to collect all the acquisitions for one year in a single sub-number master record at the level of the group asset.
There is a separate master data transaction for creating group assets (Asset ® Create ® Group asset). This transaction corresponds to the transaction for creating normal assets. However, there are certain special considerations to keep in mind for master data maintenance of group assets:
Group assets can only be deleted when all the assets belonging to them have been marked for deletion.
Group assets can only manage depreciation areas that have been specially marked. You mark them using an indicator in the company code specific specifications for the depreciation area (FI-AA Customizing: Specify depreciation areas for group assets).
Group assets have to be assigned to an asset class, just as normal assets do. You use an indicator in the asset class to specify that the class can be used only for group assets.
Assignment of an Asset to a Group Asset
You can assign an asset to a group asset by specific depreciation areas. For this purpose, there is a special field in the asset master record (in the detail display of each depreciation area). You enter the number of the group asset in this field. Once this entry is made, the system calculates and posts the depreciation for this depreciation area only at the level of the group asset. In this way, you can also assign one asset to different group assets in different depreciation areas.

Asset Retirement or Shut Down

Hi Gurus,
We have a store that was burned out by fire last 2009. The asset continues to depreciate in SAP upto now.
Should we use asset shutdown or asset retirement for this asset? A new store was built in replacement to the damaged store.
The damage will be paid by the insurance company. Kindly advise if we will use asset shutdown or retirement and then set-up a new asset for the new store built?
Thanks,
Ellicec

Hi Atif,
Thank you very much for your immediate reply.
However, I have a few questions. What if we do not want to recognize any gain from the payment made by the insurance company? Also, how are we going to treat the depreciation postings made after the fire incident?
Regards,
Ellicec

I have an Asset with Asset number 1000, and this asset has inventory number of 31000, which has to items in this inventory number, ie: 31001 and 31002.
I want to have partial retirement for this asset, ie: I want to sell item 31001 only.
What are Tcode or ways that I can use?
Thanks in advance.

Hello
Choose Posting ® Retirement ® Retirement with revenue ® No customer
Enter the asset.
Check the date specifications, and make any necessary entries on the Transaction data tab page. If you do not enter an asset value date, the system automatically determines this date when you save.
Enter the revenue in the Specifications for revenue group box. Enter the:
Revenue amount
Depreciation area, from which the net book value should be used as the revenue amount
Enter additional posting information (such as document type) and the transaction type on the Additional details tab page.
In addition, you can also enter costs here that arose from the retirement. However, these costs are posted only as asset line items. However, there is no integration of this posting with cost accounting or the general ledger.
If you do not enter a transaction type, the system automatically determines one when you save.
To post a partial transfer, enter a posting amount, a percentage or a quantity on the Partial transfer tab page. Specify whether the retirement applies to prior-year acquisitions or to current-year acquisitions.
The system determines the appropriate transaction type automatically.
If you do not make any entries on this tab page, the system carries out a complete transfer.
Enter a text for the posting document on the Note tab page.
Save.
Using this transaction, it is not possible to:
Manually enter different amounts for different depreciation areas
Have the system propose depreciation areas for certain transaction types
If you need to use one of these functions, then use transaction ABAO.

Asset Retirement (Legacy assets) high priority

MODERATOR: message locked. please read the rules of engagement before posting.
Dear Friends,
I am doing retirement for Legacy assets using F-92 transaction code .i selected transaction type 210 . it is giving following error
Retirement of old assets data not possible (No existing old assets data) for some asset class assets
and some asset class assets i am getting following error
Posting with trans.type 210 not possible (No acquisition posted) but values are there in legacy asset(take over values tab)
why some asset class assets are getting Retirement of old assets data not possible and some asset class assets are getting No acquisition posted
for normal assets created using AS01 no error is coming
some Legacy asset class assets retirement happening fine
plz suggest which transaction type has to use for legacy assets or need to create separate transaction type for legacy assets
we are using group asset concept
errors are
Retirement of old assets data not possible (No existing old assets data)
Message no. AA416
Diagnosis
You have tried to post an retirement based on amount, using a transaction type which refers to old assets data (acquisitions from previous years).
However, the sum of the APC at the start of the fiscal year and the transactions, related to the past, equals 0.
Procedure
Check the transaction type entered and the asset.
Posting with trans.type 210 not possible (No acquisition posted)
Message no. AA324
Diagnosis
Transaction type 210 belongs to a transaction type group, which can only be used to post to assets to which posting has already been performed. However, no postings have been made to this asset.
Procedure
Use a transaction type from a transaction type group, which can be used for the first acquisition to an asset.

Govind

Hi,
If you are doing upload of legacy assets each year wise, then you have to AJRW for every year.
Another way-- you can set your legacy asset takeover date as same as your last closed FY end date, by keeping this date as takeover date you may not be able to run any asset balances report with a report date, which is prior to your takeover date.
For ex: if your takeover date is 31.03.2009, then you cannot run balances report with a report date <31.03.2009
For dep rate changes issue----
You have create your legacy asset with a dep key, which should have the rate of dep from takeover date only.
Whatever depreciation rate changes happend before takeover cannot be maintained in the asset master, since SAP will not calculates dep prior to takeover date. Since system will calculates dep from 01.04.2009 (according to example date) with the rate, which is appilicable from 01.04.2009 only.
What you have to do is, you need to create your dep key with currenct dep rate only and maintain the same in your legacy asset. So while creating through AS91, you need to maintain the APC value (original purchase price) Accum dep ( this amount might have derived from various dep rate calculations outside system till takeover).
Thanks,

Please elaborate me the mechanism of Asset Retirement

Hi,
Please elaborate me the mechanism of Asset Retirement
Thanks

Hi,
Please go thru the following document if it is helpful.
Asset Retirement:
Purpose
Asset retirement is the removal of an asset or part of an asset from the asset portfolio. This removal of an asset (or part of an asset) is posted from a bookkeeping perspective as an asset retirement. Depending on organizational considerations, or the business transaction which leads to the retirement, you can distinguish the following types of retirement:
An asset is sold, resulting in revenue being earned. The sale is posted with a customer.
An asset is sold, resulting in revenue being earned. The sale is posted against a clearing account.
An asset has to be scrapped, with no revenue earned.
An asset is sold to an affiliated company (refer to Manual Posting of Intercompany Asset Transfer/Retirement)
Process Flow
There are transactions and transaction types in the system for these different retirement types.
Asset Retirement
Asset Sale with Customer
The system enables you to post the entry to Accounts Receivable, the revenue posting and the asset retirement in one step. In this posting transaction, you have to post the revenue (debit A/R, credit revenue from asset sale) first, and then post the asset retirement. An indicator in the posting transaction specifies that the system posts the asset retirement after the revenue posting.
The prerequisite for this is that the sales revenue account in Financial Accounting, to which the revenue should be posted, has a field status variant in its master data in which the Asset retirement field (category Asset Accounting) is defined as a required or optional entry field. You define the field status variant in Customizing for Financial Accounting (Financial Accounting Global Settings ® Document ® Line Item ® Controls).
Posting of Gain or Loss
When you use the standard transaction types, the system automatically creates a gain posting or a loss posting, as well as a revenue clearing entry, in addition to the asset and accumulated depreciation correction postings. This gain/loss posting, as well as the revenue posting, are not dependent on the transaction type. The automatic creation of these postings is controlled by the Gain/loss from retirement indicator in the definition of the transaction type. You can also choose not to set this indicator, in which case you have to enter the postings manually.
In an exceptional situation, an integrated asset retirement with revenue can also be posted although the asset does not have APC in the master depreciation area.
For more information on ways of posting gain and loss, see Posting Gain/Loss.
Retirement Without Revenue
A retirement without revenue is the removal of an asset from the asset portfolio without any revenue, for example, by scrapping. When you use this posting option, the system does not create revenue and gain/loss postings. Instead it creates a Loss from an asset retirement without revenue posting in the amount of the net book value being retired.
Complete/Partial Retirement
An asset retirement can refer to an entire fixed asset (complete retirement) or part of a fixed asset (partial retirement). In both cases, the system automatically determines, using the asset retirement dates entered, the amounts to be charged off for each depreciation area. You can initiate the partial retirement of a fixed asset by entering one of the following:
The amount of the acquisition and production costs being retired
A percentage rate
A quantity
When you enter the amount of APC that is being retired, the system determines the percentage to be retired from the asset using the first depreciation area in which posting is to take place. It determines the percentage amount of APC being retired in that area, and uses the same percentage for other areas. You can enter a quantity, provided that you have not specified a retirement amount or percentage rate. The system interprets the quantity as a ratio to the total quantity of the asset and thereby determines the asset retirement percentage rate. If necessary, you can also manually correct the retirement amounts that were calculated by the system in individual depreciation areas. The system then recalculates the retirement amounts for that area, and any areas that are dependent on that area.
The asset value date of the retirement is recorded in the asset master record. You cannot post any transactions with a value date before the value date of the last retirement. If you nevertheless need to post such a transaction, you must first reverse all retirements that lie after the value date of the belated posting. After posting the belated transaction, you can then re-post the retirements.
Transaction Type (Prior-Year Acquisitions/Current-Year Acquisitions)
Make sure that you select the correct transaction type for both partial and complete retirement. For the complete retirement of a fixed asset acquired in previous years, always select a transaction type intended for prior-year acquisitions. A partial retirement can always relate either to prior-year acquisitions or to current-year acquisitions.
The complete retirement of a fixed asset is only possible if all transactions to the asset were posted with a value date before the asset value date of asset retirement. You must clear or reverse down payments and investment support measures, which are in the same posting year as the retirement, before you post the complete retirement.
Prior-year asset acquisitions and current-year acquisitions are shown separately from one another in the document.
Proportional Value Adjustments
Based on the value date and period control, the system automatically determines the reference period for the retirement. The system automatically determines any depreciation (value adjustments) that is applicable to the part of the asset being retired, up to the reference period (retirement). The system automatically retires this depreciation at the time of the retirement transaction. This procedure guarantees that the percentage of the book value that is retired is identical with the percentage of the acquisition and production costs that is retired.
Graphic: Determining Proportional Value Adjustments
The system automatically posts the proportional value adjustments retired during an asset retirement. You can specify special transaction types for this automatic posting. You enter these transaction types in the Customizing definition of the retirement or transfer transaction types (Value adjustments function). These special transaction types for the proportional value adjustments are particularly important for group consolidations, so that the individual transaction can be identified as retirement of transfer.
The standard transaction types delivered by SAP are already defined in this way. The system uses the transaction type 290 for proportional values with retirements. For transfers it uses transaction types 390/395 (transfer retirement/acquisition).
Retirement of Low Value Assets
There are special considerations for the retirement of low value assets (LVAs). It is usually necessary to simplify the business transactions involved, due to the large number of assets that are being retired. It is not necessary to actually post the retirement of low value assets in order for the assets transactions to be displayed correctly in the asset history sheet. It is possible to simulate the retirements of low value assets during a time period you specify. Enter the LVA asset classes and the simulation time period in the initial screen of the asset history sheet (see Asset History Sheet).
If you want to actually post the retirement of low value assets, use the usual procedure for asset retirements.
Retiring Several Asset Subnumbers Simultaneously
The system enables you to post the complete retirement of several subnumbers of a fixed asset in one step (generic entry using an asterisk (*) in the subnumber field). The system performs asset postings and value adjustment postings for each sub-number.
Sales revenue is proportionally allocated to the individual sub-numbers according to their acquisition value (including revaluation).
Retirement of Assets with Investment Support
For information on the special concerns involved when retiring assets with investment support, see Investment Support on the Liabilities Side and Investment Support Managed on the Assets Side .
Retirement Costs
It is possible to enter the costs of the retirement (for example, removal costs) for statistical purposes during the retirement posting. The standard report for asset retirements (Information System) then displays these costs in a special field. Note that gain/loss and retirement costs are shown separately in the report. In addition, the retirement costs are not automatically transferred to cost accounting.
Mass Retirement
When an enterprise sells a large portion of its fixed assets (such as a plant or a building), it is necessary to post the retirement of all the individual assets which make up the whole. Since the number of affected assets can be very large, the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) component makes it possible to make the necessary postings using mass processing. For more information, see Mass Retirement.

Calculation of Depreciation for Group Asset

Hi Experts,
I am getting a problem while doing depreciation for group asset
Ex: 80,000; Rate 10%
total depreiaiton p.a is Rs 8000/-
as per the Indian standards if it is below 180 days it should take Rs 4000/-, but in my system it is showing Rs 3333.33
my depreciation start date & capitlization date is 01.11.2007.
Regards,
Satya Vani.

Dear,
Reshma.
Looking at your Questions let us take explanation for Group Assets :-
1 ) We need to create new different asset class for Group Class in OAOA. Then permit the depreciation area for only Group Asset in OAYM as it is in your current scenario India is Depreciation Area 15 Just select your company code in OAYM and check the Grp Asset field for respective area 15. Then go to OAAX here we have to maintain the assets classes particularly for Group Assets. So check your Group Asset classes for Group Assets. Cerate different Group asset classes for your said requirement.
In these depreciation areas, it is then possible to make an assignment to a group asset. You make this assignment in the specifications for the depreciation area in the asset master record. When you post an acquisition to this kind of asset, the system duplicates the line items from this depreciation area on the given group asset.
2 ) According to me you have to create different depreciation keys for Group Asset classes. Assign the Depreciation keys to your newly created Group Asset Classes in OAYZ and make sure you are deactivating 01 area which is Book Depreciation area.
3 ) As far as I know this is the only functionality available to handle Group Assets. How ever SAP does not have any standard Group Assets functionality. SAP does not supply asset classes to be used solely for group assets. It is we have to determine as per varying Business Process.
I hope this will clear your doubt makes you to understand. Please revert back for further clarification. Welcome you.

Pankaj A Bhalerao.

AMC PO for an Asset

Dear Experts,
We are a mining company, where we have lot of Vehicles and Equipments (ASSETS) which are under AMC.
We have individual ASSET CODEs for each Asset.
In the AMC PO, we want to mention ASSET CODE of the Asset, so that, the system to notify (waring/error message) if AMC is accidentally created more than once, for the same ASSET CODE for the same duration.
Or it may also happen that, we may prepare AMC PO for which ASSET does not actually exist (it would have been sold/scrapped).
Please suggest how to make above control.

Need for Group asset

Hello,
As a general rule, the system calculates depreciation at the level of individual assets. Certain types of calculation needs or tax requirements (such as in the U.S.A.) make it necessary, however, to calculate depreciation at a higher level. For this purpose, you can group assets in the FI-AA system together into so-called group assets. You can group assets together per depreciation area to form group assets.
Definition: group asset
Asset Accounting (FI-AA)
A combination of a number of assets for the purposes of a common, summarized calculation of depreciation.
A group asset is represented in the SAP System by a separate master
record.
So it is up to your requirement weather you want to go with Group Asset or not.
But the rate of Depreciation is different for asset classes so it is better not to go with Group Asset.

Ravi
