Advice on asset/asset subnumber/asset quantity
Hello
When I buy 50 computers from a vendor, all identical, I receive the computers and the related invoice from the vendor over a period of 18 months for example 15 on 1.1.2010, 10 on 1.3.2010 and 25 on 1.9.2010
Should I
create 50 separate assets and when entering the invoices enter 15 or 10 or 25 lines for each asset?
or create 1 asset with 50 subnumbers and when entering the invoices enter 15 or 10 or 25 lines for each assetnumber?
or create 1 asset with quantity 50 and when entering the invoice post to the same asset?
or create 1 asset with in the description field "50 computers"?
Please advise the pros and cons of each technical possibility.
Thanks

Hi,
Normally a fixed asset can be represented in the system using several master records, that is in the form of sub-numbers. Assets may be divided using sub-numbers if:
-Managing the values for subsequent acquisitions in following years (i.e., buildings) separately.
-Managing the values for individual parts of assets separately,
-Dividing the asset according to various technical aspects.
In your case you have purchased 50 computers but you received invoice in 3 periods.
For each period when you are booking invoice (one invoice for several computers) give the Number of similar asset field with that many number of computers for the invoice you have received.
For example in period 1 you might have received invoice for 10 computers then enter Number of similar assets with 10. with this single asset master creation transaction your can create the asset master with similar parameters but the description and inventory/serial number for each computer may differ.
Why because in future if you want to have any special kind of transactions for indidual computers(assets) it is not possible if you create it as a single asset for each invoice.

Query regarding Asset quantity.
Dear Experts,
I have query regarding Asset quantity.
While creating Goods receipt (MIGO) users give the Material (Asset) quantity but when I check in Asset master or in any sap asset reports system not show the quantity in Asset master or any Asset report. Although I have checked in all SAP Standard reports but quantity not updated in any reports. Let me know if I need to do any configure in Asset.
I also want to know that how System posts the quantity automatically in Asset master after doing MIGO/MIRO?
Please provide the best solution.
Best Regards,
VivekHi VIvek
In Asset Master Data update the unit of measure in Quantity field. When you post through a MIRO document or F-90 whatever the quantity input is updated in the asset master record.
Kindly award points if correct -
Hi All,,
In the asset master i find the quantity of assets in the current date. But if i want to generate list of assets and their quantities on a past date, say January 31st, is there a standard report for the same?
Please advise.
Thanks in Advance,
SafiHi,
I am not very sure about the report but you can down load any asset report (by class or by business area, etc) and save it to an excel sheet.
GO to SE16, table ANLA and give the asset numbers and select the out put fileds ANLN1 and MENGE. In the field MENGE, you can find the Qty.
Hope this work around helps.

RE: Std report to see Asset quantity
Hello is there any Standard report to see the Quantity report which we update at the time of creating asset master. For ex we purchase 5 desktop and create only single asset master by updating the qty by 5 NOS.

Asset Quantity how value is generated?
Dear Experts,
I'm very new in FI-AM. Appreciate your advise on how quantity is updated in Asset master. Is it from PO only?
Thanks.
OnadHi,
Qty for asset master would be updated automatically as soon the GRN made for asset PO or F-90.
Prerequisite: The unit of measure in asset master and PO should match.
No need to enter qty value manually in asset master, when creating it with AS01.

I have created Fixed assets Report , but our auditors would like to see separate Prior YTD Depr in separate column and current book Depr in separate column , right now Prior year YTD depr amd Currrent year depr showing in column Amount Curreny column,
but I would like to show that amount in net column and Current book depr by each to accum and show in where I have $ 710.95 amount , can some one help me how can I change my query to come up what I am looking for, I really need to fix this for
our auditors, and donot to show the details by each month, any help will be really appreciated, you guys are so good, I wish I know more about Sql,
my Query is below
SELECT ASSETTABLE.NAME, ASSETTABLE.ASSETTYPE, ASSETTABLE.QUANTITY, ASSETTABLE.UNITOFMEASURE, ASSETTRANS.TRANSTYPE, ASSETTRANS.ASSETID,
ASSETTRANS.TRANSDATE, ASSETTRANS.DIMENSION2_, ASSETTRANS.AMOUNTMST, ASSETTRANS.ASSETGROUP, ASSETTRANS.DATAAREAID,
ASSETTABLE.UNITCOST
FROM ASSETTABLE INNER JOIN
ASSETTRANS ON ASSETTABLE.ASSETID = ASSETTRANS.ASSETID
WHERE (ASSETTRANS.DATAAREAID = N'AR1') AND (ASSETTRANS.TRANSDATE >= @Paramfromdate) AND (ASSETTRANS.TRANSDATE <= @Paramtodate)
thanks in advanceI don't think I understand exactly what the ask is. What field allows you to distinguish between prior year and current depreciation? TRANSTYPE?
I think your data is fine. I would suggest using a Matrix instead of a table. Just set the column group to group on the field that distinguishes between current and prior year depreciation. Add all of the rest of your column outside the column group so they
are only scoped by your row group(s). You can add those columns either before or after your column group columns.
If you have a lot of work into your report already and don't want to create a new matrix which will require you to recreate the work already done on your table. you can convert the existing table to a matrix as described in this technet wiki article:

Asset capitalization during GR
Hi Friends,
I am creating a PO for assets. When I do GR, at that time asset quantity in FI is not getting updated. Also after GR, in the material document, no FI document is generated. When I do invoice verification, at that time the asset quantity is getting updated. Can anybody guide me how to make the asset quantity updated at the time of GR instead of MIRO.????????
Thanks & Regards
SatyaHi,
If you want to create FI Document during MIGO in case of ASSETS then it can be done in two ways.
1.controlling from PO: dont check GR Non valuated check box in Delivery tab of PO
with this FI document will be generated during MIGO.
2.Configuration level:
SPRO>MM>Purchase>Account Assignment>Maintain Account Assignment Category >select Account Assignment Category A and go to Details, and then uncheck the GR-Non Valuated. With this FI Doc will be generated during MIGO and all accounts will be knocked off correctly during the process.

Adjustment in Value of Assets acquired two years ago
Hi
I have a scenario and i am wondering anybody can help or guide me. Asset were procured two years back which were acquired through PO. User came back today that they actual asset quantity was 98 instead of 100 and now they want to adjust GR to 98 which is not possible as GR was done two years ago and also depreciated in the last two years. Please note PO showing 100 quantity but they all belong to one asset with quantity 100. Now we need to adjust the values. Can anybody guide me what is the best way to do it and i beleive this is only possible in Asset Accounting to adjust values instead of cancelling or adjusting the GR?
Your kind suggestions will be really apprecaited.
Kind RegardsHi Aftab
1. You need to retire the 2 qty w/o revenue for sure - Suppose the 2 addnl qty was worth 100 USD.... Now after 2 years it is depreciated to , say, 90 USD...
When you retire w/o revenue - the APC (100) and accum dep (10) would go away
2. Now 2nd issue is the depreciation whivh got charged in the 2 years.....
You need to adjust the profit of those 2 years.... Discuss with your business team whether and how they would like to do it.. you will have to pass a JV from F-02 may be
3. if you paid your vendor excess beacuase of these 2 units - raise a debit note on him

Total assets in Final Cut Server
is there a way to display how many assets are in a FCSvr database? I'm in the process of uploading over 10,000 assets to my server and want to be sure the server database asset quantity matches my storage disk quantity of original clips.
Paste this into a terminal and run it:
/Library/Application\ Support/Final\ Cut\ Server/Final\ Cut\ Server.bundle/Contents/Resources/sbin/fcsvr_run psql px pxdb -c "select count(*) from pxentity where parententityid = (select entityid from pxentity where address = '/asset');"
It will give you a count, which is the number of assets. -

How to change the pick quantity in outbound delivery using bapi

Dear All, As per our new requirement from business,They are asking report delivery quantity status report based on the date,Can you please advice how to calculate open delivery quantity based on date and total OBD quantity..
Dear Ravi
I would like to add some more findings here.
Open Delivery: means Delivery done--need to go for billing.
Is it what you are asking for??
(confirm--there is always difference between client terminology and SAP terminology)
If so-- First you retrieve all delivery docs from LIPS table--then retrieve the status of Billing from VBUP table(FKSTA)...
So you can easily find the open delivery Qty(again reiterating Open delivery Qty means-the Qty for which delivery happened--but not billed)
Note: I want to add a little bit to Experts opinion here---if a material is having availability check of KP--will not be observed in VBBE.
Please find the answer Given By Our Lakshmipathi sir in thread--VBBE table Not Updated....
Hope this helps.

Hi,
ECC 6.00/PSM-BCS
While settling the Project to AUC I am getting the below error. Please advice.

Message no. AW851
Diagnosis
During settlement of sender WBS DAMEPL 1.1.1.1 there was an attempt to settle a posting that has account assignment CAPEX / / (fund/functional area/grant) to an asset subnumber. However, the receiving asset DAML 000009000004 0000 does not have an asset subnumber with this assignment.
System Response
The posting on this sender cannot be settled to an asset subnumber.
Procedure
Either create an asset subnumber with account assignment CAPEX / / for asset DAML 000009000004 0000, or settle to a different receiver.
If this message appears as a warning only, then the posting from this sender is settled to the asset main number.

Hi All,
Recently I had to implement some validations for settlement. I created three different steps for there different validations & those were wroking fine when tested using CJ88 & CJ7G transactions.
But the problem I am facing is I am getting an error in a transaction in ABZON for which I didnt do any validation.
The problem is when we enter a quantity in the Quantity field for an Asset & save I am getting an error like Asset quantity shuold be 1 even if I have maintained it as 1.
I have debugged & found that it is triggering through other step where the value BSEG-MENGE becomes 0 for the second loop pass & the error triggers. This is working fine in Quality & I checked versions there are no differences in the programs at all.
Kindly help..
