Error when importing Fixed Assets

Dear All,
Good day!
We are now importing the Fixed Assets into SAP Business One 9.0 PL 11 using the data import utility. I already made necessary setup. But when I import, a message prompts and tells "cannot import asset _____; a new asset's useful life and remaining life must be the same in the depreciation area". I ensure that the usefule life is match in the useful life of each asset group. Attached is the template I used and the format of column.
Thank you and Regards,
Ericka

SB1 prompted system message: Import end; Number of successfully imported:0; Number of processed assets:1
and I open the log file, it says:

what's that means?
and I found that if the asset's Capitalization Date is current year, It can't be imported and show the message in the log file, why?

You have a date in your data sheet that is formatted 1/1/2007, this needs to be formatted as 2007-01-01, I think it is the depreciation start date?

How to import Fixed Asset Master File

Hi all expert,
I used BAMasterDataImportFile to import the Fixed Asset. But the message as below appear :
"Import end;Number of successfully imported assets: 0;Number of processed assets:2"
After complete import the fixed asset master files still empty. May i know anybody can advise me for import fixed asset files?
Thank for help.
From:
Eric Tan

Hi Eric,
Please refer your error with the possible reasons below (from SAP notes):
Error message: "Import End; Number of imported assets:0; Number of processed asset:2"
Reason: Note that there is no error. It is usually because of the conflict of Depr. Start Date , Use Life and Remaining Life.
The following is a list of possible errors:
1. Fixed Asset in Production Mode -- Make sure Fixed Asset is in Transfer mode before importing.
2. The number of semicolons for each line is not 66 -- For each line, each field must be separated by a semicolon(, the number of separators( should be 66. Number( = 66.
3. Wrong Date Format DD-MM-YYYY or MM-DD-YYYY -- The correct date formats should be : YYYYMMDD, YYYY-MM-DD, YYYY.MM.DD or YYYY/MM/DD
4. Asset Class unavailable -- The asset class in your csv file does not exist in Fixed Assets; make sure the used asset classes are defined in Fixed Assets before importing.
5. Depr. Type unavailable -- The given depreciation type does not exist in Fixed Assets, make sure the used depreciation type is defined in Fixed Assets before importing.
6. Depr. Area unavailable -- You entered data for a depreciation area that does not exist. If there are only 2 depreciation areas in Fixed Assets do not enter data for area 3 or 4.
7. Depr. Area is inactive for asset class -- You entered data in the csv file for an area that is not active for the given class in Fixed Assets.
8. Life parameter is negative or the remaining life is greater than planned life -- All life parameters should be positive, the remaining life should be less than the planned life
Life Parameters(Depr. Start Date, Useful Life and Remaining Life) are mathematically incorrect for one of the areas in csv. Remaining life = Useful life - (the difference between the first date of import year and depreciation start date). Note that it is not the difference between import date(the date you import Fixed Asset Master Data) and depreciation start date. You must calculate the remaining life correctly. For example, you want to import an asset in 2005, you import it on 2005-09-01 ,then the first date of the import year is 2005-01-01, Depr. Start Date = 2003-06-01, Useful Life = 60 months, then
      Remaining Life = 60 - (2005-01-01 - 2003-06-01) = 60 - 19 = 41 months.
      The following calculation is wrong:
      Remaining Life = 60 - (2005-09-01 - 2003-06-01) = 60 - 27 = 33 months
Import Fixed Asset for the current fiscal year -- The fixed asset master data import function is designed for legacy data importing. We recommend you to import fixed asset master in the past years. If you insist on importing an asset for the current fiscal year, make sure the depreciation start date is the first date of current fiscal year and the Remaining Life is the same as the Useful Life.
Year Values -- the sum of the accumulated depreciation (planned, unplanned and special depreciation) in the csv file is greater than the acquistion and production costs.
Also, don't forget to change the fixed asset mode to transfer. Administration>System initialization>Company Details> Basic initialization tab.
Hope this helps.

Hi, i think that the problem is around the rollback segments.The solution is bring other rollback segments ONLINE state, if not exist others rollbackup,then you need create the other rollback segments and bring online state.
If you need more information, you will must see the next DOC-ID on Metalink site,

Error when Importing FA in B1 9.0

Hello,
I have searched for a solution but can't seem to find anyone who is receiving the same error message. I have used the same Data Template to import over 100 assets and it was successful. Something must have changed and I can't import any more. The error I am receiving does not give any information as to what is invalid. I have attached my files and the error report. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi Michelle,
Please check below points.
1. Which Depreciation Method you are using ???
2. Remaining Life and User full Life Must be Same.
3. Date Format must be 20090331. This Date Format is Reorganized by SAP B1.
4. You Must Import Fixed Asset for the First Day of Financial Year.
5. Please check this SAP Notes no 876670.
Hope this helps

Error when importing from Excel in SAP

Hello experts,
My gets error when importing price list using the import form Xl menu :
(-1200) DBMCconnBase::EndTransaction SQLEndTran sqlState 08S01, nativeErr: 0, errText:[Microsoft][SQL Native Client] Communication link failure
This happens only when connected with SAP Client, it never happens when connected in terminal server directly on SAP server.

SAP 2007 Sp01 PL08 HF01
This has always been working before, it has stopped working when he changed the motherboard 3 weeks ago. Nothing else have changed.
Any idea where to look at?
Thanks!
Chris

hello Gordon,
Thanks for your answer. that would have probaly fix the issue
my techs fixed the issue by doing the 2 following thinks, i don't know if only one of them would have fix it.
1. in the boot.ini file there was a /3G in the end, restricting the memory to 1G for the OS. The tech deleted it.
2. in management studio, the technician changed the memory reserved for sql from 9/12 to 14/16Gb
there was probably not enough RAM available for the import.
since that change it works well.
Thanks again!

CL_SFW_SYSTEM_SETTINGS error when importing SPs

When we want to import the support packages SAP_BASIS, SAP_ABA, SAP_BW,
PI-BASIS untill packages level 7 ( we come from level 4) and the HR
untill package level 26 we run into the short text error when importing
the basis, aba, pi-basis and bw package.
I tried to use the following notes:
1281321 but this gives the error: DEQUEUE_ENQBADIIMPL_ENH
1483283 but this fails also as when I perform tp unlock_EU <SID>
pf=/usr/sap/<sid>trans/bin/TP_DOMAIN_<SID>.PFL it tells me it need to be done
via SE03.
1532661 this one sents me to note 1414700 and 1366282 but the last ones
sents you back to 1483283 and note 1414700 when I want to implement it
with snote it tells me I need to use transaction SE03 for system settings.
Is there any other option to get this issue fixed? as we need to upgradesome other systems aswell with these support packages

The following is the solution.
Symptom
When you import the Support Packages SAP_BASIS 7.00 Support Package 14 and
Support Package16 in a queue, the runtime error SYNTAX_ERROR occurs in
class CL_SFW_SYSTEM_SETTINGS (program CL_SFW_SYSTEM_SETTINGS========CP).
More Terms
Syntax error, CL_SFW_SYSTEM_SETTINGS, SPAM, SYNTAX_ERROR,
CL_SFW_SYSTEM_SETTINGS========CP
Cause and Prerequisites
This problem is due to a program error.
Solution
Option 1:
Import Support Package 14 and Support Package 16 in separate queues.
Option 2:
After the error mentioned above occurred, regenerate the enhancement spot
SFW_SWITCH_CHANGED in transaction SE18.
To do this proceed as follows:
1. Call transaction SE18.
2. Enter the enhancement spot SFW_SWITCH_CHANGED.
3. Choose "Display".
4. Choose the menu option "Enhancement Spot -> Activate".
You can now import the queue using the Support Package Manager

Import Fixed Asset on Previous Year

Hi experts,
I would like to know, is it possible to upload fixed asset on previous year as fiscal year. For example I want to upload asset per June 2010 as beginning period, I tried several ways to upload but I couldn't find the right one.
I tried to upload fixed asset data with depreciation start / capitalization date before Jan 2010 and succeed
eg.
Asset: Printer
Acquisition date: 01 Feb 2009
Depreciation start date: 01 Feb 2009
APC value: 22000000
Useful Life: 36
Remaining Life: 25
Ordinary Depr: 8066667
But it didn't work out with the depreciation start / capitalization date on Jan - Jun 2010
eg.
Asset: Printer
Acquisition date: 01 March 2010
Depreciation start date: 01 March 2010
APC value: 2100000
Useful Life: 36
Remaining Life: 36
Ordinary Depr: 0
Any help will be most appreciated. Thanks

Yes, I did. It said "We recommend you to import fixed asset master in the past years. If you insist on importing an asset for the current fiscal year, make sure the depreciation start date is the first date of current fiscal year and the Remaining Life is the same as the Useful Life." This case is different, the company wants to upload asset as per June 2010 as its beginning balance =) Thx for your reply Julie

Import fixed Asset

Dear All,8
I cannot import fixed asset to SAP Business One ( Hanna) PL8, the following message appear
The Remaining life of fixed asset for depreciation area GAAP is incorrect
how i can solve this issue ?
Regards,
Abdualla Fatayer

the formalla is :
remaining useful life = ( date of fixed asset that will be imported to SAP - starting depreciation date)\30 day.
and the result from this equation is subtracted from useful life of fixed asset.
note:
starting depreciation date =Dec 31 from the year that customer acqustion fixed asset.
example:
the capitalization date of an asset is 5/2/2012
I will consider starting depreciation date will be 31/12/2012
I will import the fixed asset on 1/1/2014
asset useful life is 80 Month.
then i will use the equation above to calculate remaining useful life

Hi Naresh,
Thanks for reply.
We have checked driver dim and region dim(s) members. Its looks fine. Even though we are facing import error.
As per basis guidance we have executed program SE38--> UJA_DATA_CHECKER on source system appset. And observed there are several errors showing up related to BPFs & Invalid attribute name ACCTYPE for CO_ENTITY dimension.
If any of you faced similar issue. Please share your input in this regard.

Error when import BI content 3.5.3

Hi All
I have error when import BI content 3.5.3 step at Tcode 'SAINT' (file SAPKIBIFIH.car) for mySAP ERP 2004 (ECC 5.0 IDES).
The error occur in step 3/5 after enter SAINT:Passw request.
System shown information "Queue SAPKLTHQ10 has not yet been confirmed".
In step 4/5 sytem shown statue/remarks "The Add-on installation terminated during phase PROLOGUE".
I think about installation THAI font package at Tcode "SMLT" uncompleted.
I run report "RSCPINST" at Tcode "SE38" for editing codepage after that the system shown error message "MDMP is not supported foe SAP Business Information Warehouse. Message no.RIN010" Please see sap note 563975.
Note: When i import Thai font package "SAPKLTHQ10" using Tcode "SMLT" the system shown error message "TL1277" in define schedule job step.
Message no. TL137
Diagnosis
You want to start the post-import methods for special texts (calendar texts, terminology, and glossary) for language Thai.
Before this can happen, the system checks whether this server is prepared for this language. The system also checks whether the language environment can be switched dynamically on this server (see ABAP command SET LOCAL LANGUAGE).
System response
The system established that the language environment cannot be switched to language Thai.
The language transport is stopped at this point.
Procedure
The switch of the language environment may fail for the following reasons:
1. The database codepage is not up-to-date.
2. The codepage information for language Thai is not up-to-date.
3. Locales for language Thai do not exist, or are invalid, at the operating system level.
4. The profile parameter zcsa/installed_languages has to be adjusted.
If an error occurs, proceed as follows:
1. Find out the name of the server on which the language import job ran. Log on to this server.
2. Check the language configuration using report RSCPINST. Solve the reported problem there.
If your system consists of multiple application servers and not all of them have authorization for language Thai, continue the language import on a server that has authorization for language Thai.
plaese help me to solve this problem.
thank a lot for all solutions.
Mooping.

This is a long story that you write, but your problem seems just that you must "Confirm the queue". Is that correct?
Without this step no further Support Packages can be inserted into the system. Confirming the queue is done by one of the buttons in the SPAM transaction. Just put the mouse on the buttons and read the quick help to differentiate between the buttons.
I have never had a problem like this but I think it can happen if, together with the new BI version you also include one or more support packs. This happens automatically if these packages are available, so you may not even have noticed it.
