Adding "Expensed" assets to FA - 11i

Hello,
Can someone tell me whats the setup needed in FA module so that I can add and track expensed assets?
I know how to import it from AP (track as asset etc). I know we need a separate category for expensed assets (non capitalize category). But I'm having some issues when it comes to defining asset cost, clearing depreciation account etc.
The only concrete information I could get from various sources, metalink notes and user guide is that the clearing account has to be a liability account. So does Asset Clearing account will be the same as the "AP liability account"?
What will be the asset cost and depreciation account? will they be expense type? or asset accounts?
Lastly, It is clearly said that expensed assets do not depreciate and do not create any journal entries. But when i run my depreciation, the depreciation run terminates because of some cross validation rules, and the culprit is the depreciation expense account and in the asset account in the expensed asset. Why should it check for cross validation if the expensed asset doesnt depreciate?
Any info on detailed steps for configuring asset categories for expensed assets is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Srini.

Hi
I had reviewed the following note in Metalink which talks about the loading of assets source from source systems.
In the same note they are mentioning that the obvious period in which data load is preferred is "The typical choice is last period in the fiscal year
preceding the current fiscal year, since this will provide accumulated depreciation numbers that can be reconciled with financial statements, and will also ensure that the year-to-date numbers on reports are
correct for the current fiscal year"
This means that this is the ideal period which u can use for loading the assets rather than the other side,
Also it depends on you whether you want to calculate those fields and provide the same or let system do the same once your assets are already migrated to Oracle and depreciation run is done.
It is fully dependent on how client wants the data to be migrated.
Oracle Assets only wants specific fields to be populated and for optional fields it is on the client, implementer to decide how they wants the data to be migrated/reconciled.
Please also review the following note from Metalink which might help you - Loading asset data with source data from an external source [ID 200077.1]
Hope this helps
Thanks and Regards

Use AM module to post pre-paid expense asset amortization (Straight Line)

I'm new to this area and please explain in detail what I'm supposed to do for this requirement.
The requirement: Use AM module to post pre-paid expense asset amortization (Straight Line amortization)
The implementation of this capability will allow Property Accounting to enter prepaid expenses into the FA subledger and have SAP automatically post monthly straight line amortizations as part of the month-end process. The idea is to configure a new asset class for "prepaid Leasing Commission" assets that will have the following GL accounts.
GL Account: 159001000
Cost Center: 159001000
Profit Center: SN09120001
Non-Reconcilition Account: 159002000
Expense Account: 890304000
What I have done so far:
I have created an asset and have created a Cost center and assigned the profit center to that. I have also created a non-recon account. The question is where do I use the Non-recon account and the expense account and have the SAP post it automatically? Will be helpful if you can provide the steps I should be following and the tcodes for this. Thanks for the help.

Hi,
I would recommend that you go through the IMG of Fixed Asset Accounting and complete the FI-AA configuration.
You store the accounts to be used in postings in the node "Integration with General Ledger".
Requirements to use cost center as accounting object are documented in the SAP Help Portal as well as in note 684659.

Expensed Asset in Oracle Assets.

Hi,
We wanted to get more clarification around Expensed assets. If we have some assets,which are of non depreciable nature,say for example Land, then such assets should be treated as expensed assets by attaching them to the expense asset category? or for each of these assets the depreciation check box should be unchecked at the asset level? What should be the ideal approach in such a case?
Kindly provide inputs regarding the same.
Thanks

Hi,
expensed assets are to be used only for assets which are of insignificant value as decided by management. If a normal asset is treated as expensed asset, it would not be charged to an asset account it would be charged to an expense account directly, and there would be no depreciation computed in the asset module, no jounal entry would be created in asset module, the expensed asset would appear in Asset module for tracking purposes alone ...
For example, say your company has been providing Blackberry device to all its employees, ideally this can be treated as an asset, however when compared to the total value of your assets, you may feel it is less significant to be treated as assets, this could very well be treated as an expenditure... hence this would be taken care in the oracle payables stage itself ... however for the sake of tracking alone you want this to appear in asset module...
for which case you would have a dedicated asset category defined without depreciation checkbox enabled and using mass addition process create expensed assets .... Expensed assets has zero financials impact ...
It is not right to treat LAND or other non depreciaable assets as expensed assets reason being, oracle assets would not generate any accounting entries for expensed assets, which means cost related entries for LAND would not be created by system .... Hence you can either create a zero rate depreciation method and map it against the LAND asset category which is a simple step, hence all assets under LAND category would inherit that depreciation method
.... else you can uncheck depreciation checkbox at asset level i.e. for each and every asset under the LAND category.

Adding Legacy assets

Hello all,
Could anyone advise, what is the recommended method for adding assets to a live assets register?
We need to take on some assets to our Production system.
We have looked at transaction AS91 but it does not allow us to enter a Capital Value.

Video not showing after adding more assets to stage.

Hello Everyone,
Why does Edge Animate not display the embeded video when I add more than 2 assets to the stage?
In the graphic below, I am building an animation with a total of 6 assets on the stage.
#1 - Curtain (.png)
#2 - Table (.png)
#3 - Picture frame_1 (.png)
#4 - Picture frame_2 (.png with a empty/transparent center)
#5 - Picture frame_3 (.png)
#6 - Rectangle
I introduce #1 to the stage, draw a rectangle (#6) and I embed a video by using .js from edgehero.com. I test the animation and the video works fine.
As soon as I add any other asset to the stage (#2, 3, 4 or 5) and test the animation, I can hear the movie playing but it is no longer visible.
I have tried arranging the other assets behind #6. I have placed the additional assets away from asset #6 so that they dont overlap, however, the video problem appears as soon as I add a 3rd asset to the stage.
Does anyone know what is causing this issue?
Thank you in advance and kind regards.

update::: figured out that the video was somehow corrupt. doesn't make any sense... but i just deleted and reloaded it and it works now...
new issue ::: when going to burn the DVD ... now i keep getting into the 20% range and then it says "video bitrate too high" ... so i've adjusted that repeatedly on the preference menu of studio pro ... and still getting the same issues.

Adding an asset

when ever i try importing an asset it loads to 100% then drops back down to around 75% and loops in this fashion for ever, can i fix this problem or is it that I'm not waiting long enough

Just wait a little longer... ;o) Encore's progress bars and completion estimates are less than just a bit unreliable, to say the least. They will give you completely unrealistic values most of the time (and it hasn't gotten better with CS3). Loading times per-clip should at worst be as long as the clip duration, but even in that case something is wrong and some unnecessary transcoding goes on. On average a 5 minute clip should take just a few seconds. However, if you have many, many short assets, loading may be a bit long-ish as the overhead from checking the files for consistency becomes an issue. On long clips you should not see this behavior, but naturally the progress indicator will stick at 75% rather long after the initila scan before suddenly jumping to 90% and then smoothly counting up to 100%. Importing clips of about an hour can indeed take 10 minutes or more, so a little more patience is advisable. If you're not getting anything imported properly after that time, then something's possibly wrong, in most cases invalid MP2 streams which were encoded externally... Just give it another try and come back if the problems persist.

Crash on adding image assets form the pool

Hey there! I've stared having this issue with CC2014 today. After creating a new comp and importing the assets into the project pool AE immediately crashes as soon as I try to click and drag any asset from the pool (no matter which direction). Tried to restart the system and AE as well as installing previous versions (CC2013 and CS6) but the problem persists there as well. Any ideas?
PS Video is attached. Cheers.

Hey Dave. By "pool" I meant project tab or whatever it's right name is.
The footage or rather raster images are on the local SSD drive, I simply
drag them from the folder they're stored into the project tab.

Adding asset in the previous period and depreciation run

Hi Experts,
I want to know whether we can add an asset for the previous period and run the depreciation.
I will try explaining with an example.
Let us say,I forgot to add an asset and i want to add an asset now with date as 1st July 2008. Is it possible? If it is possible will the system calculate the depreciation from July or will it calculate from the date the asset has been added?
Please explain.
Thanks,
Sasidhar

Hi
It will allow you to add a new asset in the closed period with few conditions
Since you have given in your example as july 2008, check whether your FI year is open. Then check the asset period whether its opened are closed
If all the periods are not resticting you, you can go a head with adding an asset
Your depreciation will be calculated from the date of purchasing, that means only the calculationg will happen from that period and not the accounting entry
You will have only one planned depreciation from july to current period as per your example. So when your running the planned depreciation run for the current period, the entire depreciation will get posted now
You can do repeat run only for one period prior to the current planned period and not at any prior period
So with your example of july 2008, if your running AFAB monthly, repeat run may not work

Capitalization of Services on Asset

Dear Experts,
We are capitalizing AUC to Final asset through AIAB & AIBU without using internal order. We also capitalize other expenses by adding AUC asset no. in direct expense postings and follow the aforesaid procedure. We are not using PS module. Now our requirement is to capitalize services on assets. We procure services using service master in service PO. We have to settle these expenses pertaining to services to final asset. Please let me know how can we achieve this. Someone please shade light on this.
Regards,
Aniruddha Mahalle

Hi Sethuraman,
Thnx for your reply. We are using PO for services with service master code in it. Is it possible to use internal order in the same PO. If we adopt this, do we need to assign this internal order in CWIP asset master. After settlement of these costs on Final asset, will it be possible to track the services which have been settled...Please help me on this..

Automatic assets numbering

Hi,
I want to define the system controls in fixed assets (R12).
Since we want to convert assets also from 11i ( our existing system ) I need to have room for those assets number as well when defining the starting number.
As per the documents it says the following .
Enter the Starting Number at which you want Oracle Assets to begin automatically numbering your assets.
Note that some asset numbers may be skipped.
Suggestion: If you are converting from another system, enter a starting number greater than the number of assets you want to convert so converted assets keep the same number from the previous system. For example, if you are converting 75,000 assets, you may want to enter 100,000 as the Starting Number to reserve the numbers 1 to 100,000 for manual asset numbering. Note that adding the 75,000 assets will increment the automatic numbering sequence by 75,000 (automatically numbered assets will begin at 175,001).
Why does it start the automatic numbering from 175001, instead shouldnt it start from 100,000? Because we have already allocated 75000 numbers for the converion.
Can anyone please explain this?
Thanks and Regards,
MPH

Hi Afzal,
In R12 FA Asset Number is created by a sequence. If you want to go for Manual numbering, you need to customize the solution.
for more details - FAQ: Automatic Asset Numbering (Doc ID 469359.1)
Automatic Asset Numbering Skips Numbers (Doc ID 1036833.6)
Please check with your Functional Consultant, it can be done by FA Setup (Not Sure).

I want to create an asset and add to existing asset class,

Hi
I am creating an asset builing, and adding to asset class, and when i am using the trans code: AS01 it showing an error , Customizing, inconsistency -Missing / incorrect and entry in the table TO93B i am not able to understand what has to be done.
and annother issue is
i am using transacion code: f-30 , there r two customer,the company is dealing with ie: oswal and some X company , in 2004 they made for eg: 10000 down payment, and they have raised invoice for 5000, and remaining 5000 its showing as due amt, as it has to show advance amt.
its showing an error, Consolidated companies TEIL and ' ' are different and its also describing that the affiliuted company must be clear for the selected document type, in this case atleast town different companies or a company in connection with a business partner who does not belong to a compnay are stated.
i am not able to undrstand the meaning of it

Hi,
i think you need to check the Depreciation area setting for the company code. I think that one of the setting is missing. Please check whether you have done the following :
Determinging the depreciation areas in the Asset class
Specifying Max amount for the LVA Assets
Hope this should solve your issue on the assets.
I could not understand the issue on the F-30. It would be better if we can have the exact issue description.

Definition of Asset Reorganization,eg Manage History flag in class define?

Hello.
The F1 help behind the "Manage Historically" flag in Asset Class definition states one of the effects is:"The asset and the values/transactions belonging to it cannot be reorganized until the asset is deactivated."
What does "reorganized" refer to in this context?
I've searched this forum, and there are references using the term but not including any reference to the definition. Googling variations on SAP/Asset/reorg has returned some great results, e.g. a 500+ page amazingly complete detail manual from SAP on fixed assets that I'm very happy to have found, but even that does not define the term in tht context of Fixed assets. Searching for the term in the document points to a page that simply states"For more information on archiving and reorganization of asset data, see Archiving in the R/3 System [Ext.]." So I've got it narrowed down to having something to do with archiving.
So here's my specific question; At the highest possilble level,e.g. one or two sentences, can someone tell me what the term "Reorganization" refers to in this context?
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello David,
Whenever you're confronted with an issue of this sort, the first thing you have do to is to break the down the issue or definition. Your main bone of contention is the word "Reorganization".
In this instance, if I were you, I will take the this issue out of the realm of technicality or SAP and try to understand what the word "reorganize" means.
"Reorganize" means to effect changes or organize something new. Although "historically or history" means a written record or systematic record of events or accounts, SAP is saying, if you check "manage historically" in the asset master record, in order for you to reorganize the asset record, you would have to deactivate the check.
Let's take a typical example: Your company implemented IRFS standard IAS16 and therefore you need to make some changes to your property, plant and equipment which may also require changes to your depreciation expense, asset values as a result of new useful life etc. You can't do any of this if you check manage history. It does not however means you cannot post depreciation values. What you cannot do though is make changes.
If you ask in the asset accounting category forum the number of companies which have activated this check, I'm pretty sure you might not even get one. We have fixed asset module activated at my company and we've never had this check activated. And I did the whole config. from A to Z.
Finally, it is good to play around the issue in your sandbox client and that will give you a better idea of the function.
Regards,
Elias
