Tracking Mobile Assets

What about tracking tags? Anyone have experience with them?

Just a quick question to you pros out there.
What are you using to track portable assets that can easily get up and walk away: Laptops, tablets, etc. Looking for an affordable solution for a small-to-medium sized operation.

Looking for help - Company is going to Mobile Asset Management service that does not support BB - especially BB 10.

Hello,
I am looking for ideas/help. I currently have a BB Z10 (10.1.0.2039) with Verizon Wireless. The company has a BB Enterprise Server for older devices (I previously was on that). I bought a Z10 several months ago and have been connecting to the corporate network through Lotus Traveler. They do not have and will not implement a BB 10 Enterprise Server. Some in IT informed that if the company used the BB software they could manage all devices..... not accepted.
All my contacts, calendar, and company email is funneled to the BB Hub.....
So my company is implementing a Mobile Asset Management Service that I have to sign up for (Airwatch?). They only support Android and IPhone.
Will future versions of the BB OS support Android Apps.... Soon (I have less than 2 weeks)
I have read where it is possible to put the device in development mode to run Android Apps. I don't know if that will work with this and have no idea how stable the phone is in that mode. I travel internationally so I don't know how a development mode would work overseas. Any thoughts?
I like my Z10 but will need to switch to keep functionality if I can't find a work around
Any assistance ????
Thanks for any help.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
BB10 devices have the ability to run .apk apps via special methods. Development Mode is used only for installing the app...not for normal operation. So you install (side-load) the app in Development Mode, then go back to normal mode for normal operations.
If a .bar file for the .apk app already exists somewhere, you can side load it to the BB10 device and see if it works or not. If there is not yet any .bar file, there is an app called SideSwype that can convert many .apk apps to .bar and install it to your device.
Good luck!

TRACK AS ASSET

Hello All
Fixed Asset Users Guide stated that one of the conditions for asset invoice line distributions to be imported is that "The Track As Asset check box is checked. (It is automatically checked if the account is an Asset account)"
The problem is not all our assets are fixed assets (e.g. Cash). I wanted only fixed assets to be transferred to FA Module. Since all "asset account" are automatically checked, all assets entries in AP are being transferred to FA Module, when it should not(e.g. cash).
What should I do to prevent the automatic "check for track as asset" for some of my assets?
Thanks a lot..
Emgee

Hi,
Altough for all the assets accounts track as an asset checked there wont be any entries transferred to Fixed assets unless otherwise you have defined that asset account as a clearing account in your categoris.
Please let me know if you need further details,

KIMYONG: AP Invoice Distributions 에서 Track As Asset 사용법

Purpose
Invioc 등록시 asset 계정이 아닌 expense 계정도 FA로 넘기기 위해서는
track as asset을 사용합니다. 이에대한 설명을 하고자 합니다.
Solution
The Navigation Path 는 아래와 같습니다.
Payables>Invoices>Entry>Invoices
Press Distributions button
Track as Asset을 check하는 것은 아래 의미를 가지고 있씁니다.
Checkbox Track As Asset is marked means that Oracle Payables will transfer
this distributions to Oracle Assets during Create Mass Additions execution.
Assets can be created in Oracle Assets from imported distributions
afterwards.
Default로 Asset account일경우 track as asset이 check됩니다.
이럴경우 check box는 변경이 불가능합니다.
The checkbox Track As Asset is unmarked by default when invoice distributions
have an expense account. This checkbox can be adjusted for unposted invoice
distributions only.

Tracking of Assets taken on Lease

Hi,
can you please suggest better way of tracking the assets which were taken on Lease. For some of them depreciation needs to be calculated, & for some are not required.
please suggest.....
regards,
Shekar

Hi ajit,
in such a case you will have to add a new depreciation area to your chart of Depn with the indicator posting to G/L as " 0 " as ' 0 " means no posting shoudl be made to G/l account and means its statistical
Next you will have to Add this depn area in the asset class under the Transaction " Detemine Depn areas in asset Class "
Finally you have to Create an asset master and assign your requried Depn key to the Statistical Depn area .
NOTE : you have to deactivate the Depn area 01 in the config which i mentioned to you about or simply assing the Depn Key 0000 in the filed DKEY in the asset Master to the Depn Area 01.
Hope this helps Inshalah

Rented Assets needs to be Tracked in Assets Module

We are not using oracle property manager. but we want to track rented assets in Oracle Assets. We don't want to capitalize and depreciate these assets. Is there any way to achieve this in assets?

Hi,
Thanks for the answer but we don't want to capitalize and don't even want to depreciate them. We just want them to be available in our asset books. They're not CIP assets. Treating them as those may be one way to do it. But here is another scenario which we are not clear about:
In assets, while defining asset categories, we have a check box 'Capitalize'. If I click on this then the same gets defaulted to all thye assets belonging to this category. Will such assets be then considered as non-capitalized assets. Will they be directy expensed out?
Our basic concern is just to track the assets. And because they are rented (and not owned), we don't want to capitalize or depreciate them.

Deepak

Hi,
We have this answer in many other threads..
Mobile infrastructure (MI 2.5 / MI 7.0) is the older release of mobile.The latest version of mobile is NW Mobile 7.1 which comes with a total architectural change, provides better scalability and has advantages in many other areas like better modeling, monitoring options , faster device synchronization time etc.
Netweaver mobile constitutes of server (DOE) and a default client framework (Netweaver mobile client) .
Mobile application could be created using NetweaverDeveloper Studio(NWDS) that will present the data required by the mobile device user.
This mobile application once deployed on a device will work on the local persistency and during synchronization with DOE sends the modified/new data to Backend via DOE.
Customers can also develop a custom client framework and application that still talks to DOE (and inturn to backend)
NW mobile 7.1 could be used to build mobile applications suiting offline and onlines scenarios.
In few words to mobilize enterprise solutions
SAP R/3 will act as backend
---talks to DOE through remote enabled BAPI Wrappers ---
NW mobile will be middleware that does the data orchestration
Upon Synchronization of mobile device with DOE using a messaging protocol over http(s)
Receivers could be devices with client application installed / another server.

Asset procurement-tracking of assets

Please suggest solutions for the below scenarios. I will be very thankful to you for your precious suggestion.
Asset tracking:
How to effectively manage enterprise IT assets (hardware, software, and infrastructure devices), what IT assets you have, where they are located, who is using them, and how they are changing over time and how we can track them.
Also how to map Critical business issues that IT asset tracking including: license compliance and desktop standards enforcement.
Scenario-1:
Suppose if you procured 70 computers (assets) for your organization. 50 computers are assigned to 50 people across various locations. Balance of 20 computers are not assigned to anybody.
We have to map this scenario in SAP like:
1.How to track the quantity of assets procured.
2.How to track the quantity of assets assigned to particular people, where they are located and which computer is assigned to whom.
3.If we want to transfer computer from one location to other location how it will be mapped and how we can track (just like in an IT organization environment).
Scenario-2:
Suppose if you procured 50 router switch. Out of 50 ports, 30 ports are connected and 20 are free i.e., 30 ports are assigned to 30 users and 20 ports are not assigned to anybody.
We have to map this scenario in SAP like:
1.How to track which port is assigned to whom.
2.Track how many ports are connected and how many ports are not connected.
Scenario-3:
Suppose if you have taken 50 user license for SAP. Out of 50, 25 users login was given and they are utilizing their login. For other 25 no login was provided.
We have to map this scenario in SAP like:
1.How to track number of users utilizing user license and how many are not.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
1) You need to have both material code and asset master for procurement. While creating PO fill account assignment as A, and give the Asset code.
2) In j1id, under Mateiral and chapter ID combination , enter the material code, plant, and declare as Asset. Then system will automatically takes care of availment of 50% CEnvat this year and rest in the next year.
3)GR is asusual and Invoice Verification also.
Reward if useful.
Create Asset code from Fi. and Create PO with Acct assgmnt cat as"A" then enter the Asset code in the Item detail tab of the PO as Asset no,do the GR.
And Also following a/c entries will happen in the system.
During excise invoice verification
Cenvat account Credit RG23C (50%) Dr
Education cess Credit RG23C( 50%) Dr
Higher edu cess Credit Rg23C (50%) Dr
Cenvat account on Hold RG23C (50%) Dr
Education cess on Hold RG23C( 50%) Dr
Higher edu cess on Hold Rg23C (50%) Dr
Cenvat clearing acc Cr
During invoice verification
Cenvat clearing account Dr
GR/IR clearing account Dr
Vendor Cr
In the subsequent year for reversal of cenvat on hold account to cenvat account, the accounting entry will be as follows
Cenvat account Credit RG23C (50%)Dr
Education cess Credit RG23C ( 50%)Dr
Higher edu cess Credit Rg23C (50%)Dr
Cenvat account Credit on Hold RG23C (50%)Cr
Educational cess on Hold RG23C ( 50%)Cr
Higher edu cess on Hold Rg23C (50%)Cr

Tracking of Assets which Distributors have

Dear colleagues,
We are an FMSG company and I need to hear your thoughts about the case.
We purchase assets, such as refrigerator etc, from our suppliers and send them to our distributors for free of charge. Every distributor has its own customer master record in SAP. Now we want to track which distributor has which asset. I donu2019t know if it is possible to carry out the process with SAP standard.
Please tell me your opinion on this issue. How can I map it?
Regards
Melih

Hi,
This is depending on the entry, which you were passed in AA, when sending the X asset to your distributor.
What entry you have passed during asset issue to distributor?
If you issue each asset with USD 1 at least, then you can get the customer code for that transaction by posted documents itslef.

Srinu

Tracking Fixed Assets between receipt and invoice processing

We have encountered an issue while using Oracle Fixed Assets that we are trying to solve. The issue involves asset tracking from the time of receipt until the invoice is processed and the asset record created and posted.
As you're probably aware, assets don't appear in FA until the invoice has been accounted and transferred to GL. We can have assets that are received and deployed before we even get the invoice for processing.
We need the ability to record and track where the asset has been deployed(Employee Name and asset Location) and to later update the appropriate asset records after they are created and posted in Oracle.
Right now we are doing this manually which means someone is entering data twice for the same thing. Has anyone come up with a workaround to cover this gap between asset receipt and asset creation?
TIA
Ken

Hi,
I see this is a very old post but did you find a solution? I am keen to learn more about this.

Tracking Laptops / Asset Tracking

Prey, while a software offering, has proved to be quite useful and popular in the forums.

What's everyone using to track devices? Trying to avoid software unless it's at the bios level but I was looking at using TILE's for some of our devices for tracking purposes. Anybody using them or something similar? Here is a link to their site....

.mp4 file only imports audio track into assets. Where is the video?

I have a 1080p WMV file that I converted to MPEG H.264 using MPEG Streamclip for use in DVD Studio Pro. When I import the file into DVD SP I only get the audio track. I opened the file in Quicktime Player just to make sure that I didn't export it incorrectly and the audio and video are both there. What am I doing wrong in DVD SP that is preventing the video from importing?

As long as you're converting the original for DVD, try exporting to MPEG2.

How to track Inter Company Asset Retirements

Hi friends,
We have a unique requirement. As opposed to normal inter-company asset transfers in SAP via ABT1N, we would like to retire the asset to an external company code. This would reflect as a retirement in the asset register, and not as a transfer. What we want to do is to track these Asset Transfers via some report.
Are there any transactions in SAP that could be utilised to facilitate this scenario? Please keep in mind that we won't use ABT1N, we will retire the asset via some other transaction, maybe F-92, or through P.O., and then would want to track such retirements through a report, exclusively. Please do suggest if some customisation can be done.
Regards,
Varun

Hi Mukhtar.
We have to develop a new report as none of the existing reports satisfy the criteria. Just wanted to know if someone has experience of developing it.
Regards,
Varun
