Legacy Asset balances transfered to wrong G/L accounts

Dear Experts,
We are in a below situation,
We have already uploaded the legacy data and transfered the balances to SAP as on 31.03.2010,Moreover we have already run the depreciation from April 2010 to Nov 2010 for those legacy assets for FY2010,As per our recent audit they realized, the G/L account determinations in legacy asset class was wongly maintained and they want to change to it to correct G/L accounts.
Please advise is it possible to transfer the Legacy assetS from one wrong asset class to other asset class,In this case how we will give treatment to transfer the legacy balances to new asset class.
Please let us know any other options are availabale.
Thanks & Regards.

how to match the asset balances with g.l accounts , when i run the ABST2 it showing the difference amount , how to adjust this amount in the G.l account
Regards,
Balu.K

Hi,
You need to pass some manual entries through OASV.
Values appear in asset reports are coming from AS91.
Entries passed through OASV are update in gl accounts.
Before passing the entries please check the values.
Hope this will clear.

Creation of Legacy Asset in AS91 - Not updating the recon account

Hi,
I have an issue while creating a legacy asset using AS91. I found that it is not updating the asset reconciliation account in the G/L. What could be the issue?
Thanks,
Ram

Hi
For uploading the Asset GL's you need to using a dummy/control account for uploading the asset data. USaullay data migration account is used for this purpose. OSAV is generally used for uploading assets in GL only.
Frist go to OAMK and remove recociliation account type assets (this is for allowing direct posting in Asset reconciliation account).. then go for OSAV and after completing the posting then again go to OAMK and again put the reconciliation account type assets. If you for got this step ...later on the Asset GL's will not be updated.

Incorrect posting in asset accounting after legacy asset transfer

I have an issue in Asset accounting.
The depreciation key used is LINA (with a base method 0009 and Dec. bal. method 001 straight line depreciation)
My question is:
An asset was acquired 02/01/2005. It has an expected useful life of 1/11.
Under AS93.
I see the asset ***. acquisition value 205,695.00
Accu.ord. deprec - 78,784.06
The asset was transferred to SAP at 03/31/2007.
Now In aw01n I see the following:
Legacy data transfer Per 3 Ord. deprec 10,143.87
Posted Per 4 13,364.13
Posted 5 5877.00
Posted 6. 5877
Till 8th month posted 5877.
The posted values are wrong. Since it was transferred to SAP it has a useful life
of 1 year. At this rate it will go for 3 years.
What can I do to rectify this error?
Why is it posting 5877?
Thanks,

Hi Roma,
The useful life has to be the Total Useful life of the asset.
Since your useful life is less than the expired usefull life the system is calculating depr. for after the end of useful life, which for base method 0009 is curbing.
<i>Curb
With depreciation beyond the planned useful life, the depreciation percentage rate can be derived, not only from the planned useful life, but also from the actual useful life. This method produces a declining-balance effect instead of a straight-line effect (curb).
Use Base Method 0007, this does not curb.
Kind regards
An asset that originally had a useful life of 10 years is depreciated in year 11 by 1/11 = 9.09 %, in year 12 by 8.33 % and in year n with 100/n %.
When you use below-zero depreciation with a curb, the system determines the percentage rate, after the end of planned life, to the exact period and not to the year.</i>

Asset balance transfer is showing blank in AW01N

Hi,
One user created asset under wrong asset class and one month depreciation was posted of that wrong asset. in the month of september. Now user has created new asset under proper asset class and made balance transfer from wrong asset to newly created asset through ABUMN in month of October i.e, period 7. In ABUMN we have transfered to New Asset field. After successful balance transfer old asset become deactivated and balance has come to new asset but through AW01N I cannot see the balance which is showing blank under planned value, posted values. Even new asset's first acquisition on date and Acquistion Year is showing as blank.
How it can be rectified ?
Regards,
Anindita

Hi Srinivasa,
during balance transfer through ABUMN I used old asset number in Asset Field, Document date, posting date, asset value date and under Transfer to tab I put new asset number in New Asset Field - Mster data - Asset Class - Company Code/Asst Number and made tick on subnumber and simulated finally. Accounting document generated properly. Even through FS10N I can see GL balance also against this asset number. But if I go through AS02 or AS03 or AW01N it is showing as blank. No values are showing. I think I made mistake in ABUMN, instead of putting value under Existing Asset field I wrongly used New asset. As a result I cannot see the date under "First Acquisition on" and ""Acquisition Year". What should I do ? Should I cancel the asset again and create new asset and transfer again or any other procedure . Becasue if First Acquisition on date and Acquisition Year appear in asset master against this new asset, automatically value will in Aw01n.

Anindita

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.
Regards
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).

Legacy Trial Balance - best way to get totals into SAP

Hi Folks,
I have a query relating to the data migration of Finance items.
What is the best process for updating the new SAP system with the legacy trial balance?
Do you journal in the Opening Trial Balance posting sub ledger items to a Data Load account?
Load the AR / AP sub ledger items via the standard load routine RFBIBL00 which will in the case of customers Debit the customer account and Credit the Data Load Account / Vendors Credit the Vendor and Debit the Data Load Account.
Could anyone please give me a step by step guide as to how to go about this?
Thanks

Hi,
The upload of GL Balances have to split into several steps:
1. Normal GL Accounts: In this case line items are not required and totals are to be updated in SAP. This can be done using GL fast entry if the number is not too high.
2. Open Item Managed GL Accounts: All the open line items are required to be uploaded in SAP from Legacy in order to clear them. Hence, a LSMW / BDC program has to be developed to upload the line items.
3. Customer & Vendor Open Items: All open line items in Customer and Vendor Accounts have to be brought in into SAP. For this also a LSMW / BDC program needs to be developed and upload the line items.
4. Asset Accounting: In case asset accounting is implemented the individual balances of each asset (Gross Value and Accumulated Depreciation) have to be uploaded using transaction AS91. For this also you need to develop a LSMW / BDC program. Further, you also need to update the GL Accounts related to Asset Accounts with totals for each asset class T.Code OASV.
5. Further, material values are also to be updated - Material wise and this should tie with the GL Balance.
In addition, one more point to be noted is the use of Dummy / Conversion accounts for bringing in data from legacy to SAP. It is better to create five or six conversion accounts like for Assets, Liabilities, Revenue, Expenses, Materials etc. The sum of all these conversion accounts should be ZERO after completing the conversion. This way the reconciliation will become easy.

AUC legacy assets with internal order update

Hi,
We are using AS91 to upload legacy assets. AUC is assigned with a statistical investment order for budget control purposes. We need the initial balance updated through AS91 be updated in the internal order as an actual line item also. Please let me know if there is any way of achieving this.
Muru

Hi,
The legacy takeover values are not posted to the general ledger. This needs to be posted manually to the G/L so FA GL reconciles. When the depreciation run is completed, the internal order (or other cost objects) in the asset master record will be posted on the depreciation expense side.
I hope this helps. If not, can you elaborate more on the business requirement?
Thanks,
Jes

AS91 - Legacy assets data - Ord depr posted fieds only displayed.

In As91 I have tried to create one legacy asset, in the takeover screen, ordinary depreciation posted field (depreciation amounts for Jan to April 09) is not open for all the depreciation areas.
How can I change this custo?
In AS92, if I want to change the data, I have this message: u201CAsset values are only displayed for depreciation.u201D
How can I change the 2009 amounts for depreciation ?
Asset data transfer date i have given as 01.05.2009. It is Go Live date
Asset data ordinary dep 2009 period 04.
Can any one help me on this?
Thanks

When you are doing the transaction AS91 it update the values in the table ANLC and when you create asset transactions it update there values to. When a depreciation run is done for this fiscal year it change values in ANLC to.
When some one change the values then in AS92 there is no FI posting and no way to found back what the reason is for the difference between FI and CO.
The depreciation calculation is based on a fiscal year! When the take over value is wrong for this year depreciation then SAP correct it in the first depreciation run.
The last years a did a lot of uploads from other systems in existing companies with assets but used an other way to do the uploads then with AS91
Created an asset with AS01 (option post capitalization on)
Posted the values with the transaction abso with a copy from transaction type 147 (made some little changes in it for reporting reason in the asset history list). In the asset I filled in old asset number, this number was used in the upload to found the SAP asset number for the abso posting.
With the transaction type 147 you can fill in the values by depreciation area (acquisition value, depreciation last years, depreciation this year).
With this option it create direct posting in FI and when a value is wrong you can reverse the posting and post it again.
For the uploads I used LSMW
This option is not the standard way how SAP advise you to do the Legacy assets data upload

Legacy asset and acquire asset

I have some assets in company code A001 in SAP server s001. now company code A001 is decommissioning.
we want to move some assets to company code B001 in SAP server S002.
for example asset 35000010 has APC value 10000 USD, accumulated depreciation 3000 USD, by using ab01 asset
acquisition in B001, we can achieve this, I also find by using AS91 also can create legacy asset in B001.
My question is: should i use AS91 or AB01 for asset migration,
what's the PRO and CON for above two methods, thanks

You can do this in both the ways.
AS91 - Legacy to SAP
Normally you transfer within different company codes with ABT1N.
- create a new asset in the receiving company code
- transfer
Unfortunately activation of the multiple asset transfer button is not possible for inter-company transfers through transaction ABT1N or ABUMN.
Hope it helps
Thanks

How do we transfer Legacy Assets to SAP ?

hello How do we transfer Legacy Assets to SAP ? thank you sureshm

Hi Suresh,
You can use t-code AS91 - to record asset master data and values in FI-AA and OASV to record the the balances in GL.
Using above mentioned transaction codes is tedious if you are dealing with numbers of legacy assets. I suggest you coordinate the issue with your ABAP programmer for the creation of Asset upload program.

PS report does not equal to asset balance report

Hi SAP Gurus,
We have this problem where PS report S_ALR_87013557 is showing higher amount than the Asset Balances report S_ALR_87011964.
Have checked on the transactions and found out that some postings are not yet settled to asset that is why the amount is different. However, there are instances that settlement has been done to Asset but it did not reflect to Asset Balances report. Is there a way or report so that I can further check on discrepancy?
Also, is there any existing report where I can view all postings made to WBS element or even project definition?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ahmed,
Thanks for your response.
Receiver in settlement rule is fixed asset, but some did not have WBS in asset master, maybe this is the reason.
Have checked report S_ALR_87013558, though I'm not sure what is Commitment column all about?
Can any one help the purpose of the commitment column and in what scenario it will reflect to actual column?
Appreciate any inputs on this. Thank you.

Error in report S_ALR_87011964 [Asset Balances]

Hi,
I am facing an issue with asset balance report generated through S_ALR_87011964.
Issue details
Asset Value - 10,000 US$
Life - 10 Yrs
Method - Straight line method
Date of purchase - 01.01.2008
Depn per annum - 1,000 US$
While i run the report as on 31-Dec-2008 Accumulated balance generated through S_ALR_87011964 and GL account balance report from FBL3N is matching perfectly. US$ 1000 in both the reports.
But when i run the report S_ALR_87011964 and FBL3N amount captured in S_ALR_87011964 is half of the Amount posted in GL accounts
Accumulated Depn posted(report through FBL3N all the relevant GL accounts are included)as on 31-3-2009 = US$ 1,300 US$ 1000+300(as on 31st Dec 08 + depn till march 2009)
Where as accumulated depn as per S_ALR_87011964 report = US$ 1,150. US$ 1000+150(as on 31st Dec 08 + depn till march 2009).
Planned depn as per AW01N is US$ 100 Per month.
How can i solve this issue,
Rgds

When you click on the button All selections select then the option current book value.
The report is a simulation in the most cases the values are the same but with some depreciation keys not.
When it is for a periodical postings depreciation area do then first the periodical posting run
ASKB - APC Values Posting
