AIAB Asset under Construction to Materials

Hello,
can anyone tell me if it's possible to transfer from Asset Under Construction to Materials using AIAB and AIBU transactions?
Thank you,
Nuno Anjos

Hi,
Please check the information in the SAP Library for settlements to material. There is quite some information that will help: e.g http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_05/helpdata/EN/a9/ab778a414111d182b10000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
or

Hi Vinod,
I hope that you are following Valuated goods receipt concept.
Valuated goods receipt: Asset will be debited at the time of goods receipt
Non valuated good receipt: Asset will be debited at the time of invoice receipt
If you follow valuated goods receipt concept, then at the time of making down payment, AUC should not be debited (whatever the value date/ capitalization date be). Please refer SAP note number 310368 (valuated goods receipt paragraph) for reference. In that they have clearly mentioned the steps to make down payment against asset under construction Purchase Order without debiting to AUC and without any error message. You have to make F5 378 message number from error message to warning message and in posting key 29 and 39, you have to supress the asset related fields. If you have done the above settings, then system will not show any error message to update G/L account in AO90 transaction code for the Acquisition: down payments and Down payment clearing - 2nd and 4th field or for AUC related fields.
Hope this helps. Assign points if useful.

Settlement of Asset Under construction

Hi Folks
Can someone please explain an overview of settling Assets under construction. I am having some issues with AUC. The actual value of asset is being taken from AUC, not from final asset. Any kind of assistance will be highly appreciated.

Hi,
The Below are some important Steps.
1. T.code KO88 - Here you settle Expences to Settlement cost Elements via internal Order or Cost Centers. Give the Settlement rule and by tht Expences will be distrubuted or settled to SCE..
2. In AIAB T.code -Here Distrubution is done from Settlement Cost Elements to AUC, Here settlement rule is defined as such.
3. In AIBU T.code - Here Settlement if Cost from AUC to Actual Asst is Done.
after AIBU Transcation is Processed, you can directly run the Deprecation for tht Asset.
Hope the above would Help in Understanding the Concept of AUC Settlements.
Thanks

Write off asset under construction

we have one AUC, we have create a PO for this AUC, the AUC has amount of 200K USD, we haven't transfer it to fixed assets, how to write off the AUC, (we want to completely write off this AUC, because the company code which creates this AUC going bankruptcy), I tried ABAON, ABAVN, but this is specific to asset, asset under construction can't be used. any idea? thanks

Hi,
1) AIAB - Distribute (update a rule with G/L settlement with a GL account for 100%)
AIBU - Settle (Execute settlement)
Or
2)
Posting direct FI entry.
FB01
Debit 40 posting key GL expenses to which you write off,
Credit 75 posting key Asset #

Asset under construction in internal order

Dear All,
can any one tell me how to create Asset under construction in internal order...
Suresh patipati.

You must have a separate asset class for Asset Under construction(OAOA) with line item settlement selection.
Create an asset(AS01) under AUC asset class
Then create internal order through KO01 and in Settlement rule mention the
Category as FXA
Settlement Receiver: AUC Asset
% as 100% or as you require
Save the entries.
Now enter the capital expenditure using this Internal order. After you finish with the postings settle the internal order(KO88). On Settlement the values are transferred to AUC asset from Internal order.
Now use AIAB & AIBU to distribute and Settle the AUC asset values between Main asset(s). Here also in the settlement rule you must enter the settlement receivers.

Assets Under Construction

Hello can any one advice on this issue ?
My client wants to have an AUC but he is procuring the Asset and other incidental costs through PO and need to also have to capture the Duties at the same time but the Asset is not caplitalized in the books instead it should be in Capital Work In Progress.Later on he wants to capitalize the Assets from Transferring from AUC to final asset then only this time it should reflect in books.
Hoe can I make these settings in SAP ? Is it possible ? then How?

Hi Edukondalu,
Yes. its possible to define Assets under construction. You can define a specific Asset class that would have defined as AUC (No depreciation keys etc).
And you can create AUC asset master first and assign to POs. After incurring all expenditure under the AUC assets, you can capitalize the expenditure to Main Asset using transaction AIAB & AIBU
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

Mass Capitalisation Asset under Construction to Final Asset

Dear all
Is there any process to mass capitalise Assets under Construction to Final Assets. My client has many assets under construction which need to be settled to a final asset on a periodic basis. They are currenly using t-codes AIBU and AIAB however is there a way to do this for many AuC at one go. Thank you.
Regards
PRG

Hi
You can try using an LSMW for AIAB and AIBU...
I dont think we have any T codes for MASS settlements, unless you have IM active and you use WBS or IO for AUC... In that case, you can use CJ8G or KO8G

Capitalization of Assets under construction

Hi Gurus,
Can anyone assist with the procedure and considerations for the capitalization of assets under construction?
Regards

Hi,
To Capitalize AUC go to T.code : AIAB then define settlement rule then go to AIBU and Settled AUC cost to main Assets.
Thanks

Settlement of WBS element down payments to an asset under constructions

The down payment (of the transactions tcode F-47 and tcode F-110), are
always settlement wbs element (tcode CJ88), we do not want to post down
payments to the receiving asset under construction (transaction type
180 or 181).
In the down payments are always taken into account in the settlement to
an asset. The settlement of the down payment is the actual reason for
the previous update of down payments in FI (Transaction type group
15). Furthermore, the settlement of down payments to assets should
not be capitalize.

When you search on this forum try to put Date range "ALL" to get more results. Please read below threads and you will get the solution.
MIRO:Transaction in area 15 contradicts the net book value rule
Transaction in area 01 contradicts the NBV
Looks like you have a negative balance in your WBS which you are trying to settle to FA.

Creation of internal order (investment order- asset under construction)

I want to capture the cost of asset under construction through internal order (controlling) not throgh Investment Measure module. How i can do this.

Hi
It is the same flow as explained by AP above
If Investment management module is active, then on settlement i believe the AUC asset is automatically generated. Therefore you have to define an asset master and then include this asset in the settlement rule of the IO. Thus on settlement the cost in the IO would flow to the asset
Thank You,

Error in dep run - Asset under construction

Hi!
Could someone please help me with the following:
My customer has a large amount of assets under construction (AuC) and also other assets. None of the assets under consctruction should have a depreciation key (or depreciation key 0000) and no depreciation accounts are allocated in transaction AO93 for AuC . But my customer now has incorrectly created a few AuC (that should NOT be depreciated at all) with depreciation key LINK. What happened?
1) Test run depreciation (AFAB) for all assets in period 1 during 2010. In test run no error log was created, everything looked fine.
2) Executed depreciation in background.
3) When looking at each of the assets in transaction AW01N I can see that all assets (both real assets and AuC with depreciation key) has depreciation posted in period 1. BUT, no depreciation has been posted in general ledger on any of the asset classes!
4) I have now changed the depreciation key on all AUC in AS02 to 0000 so that no depreciation will be calculated.
5) Trying to run AFAB again for period 2 but error message says that period 1 was terminated and that period 1 should be restarted.
6) Trying to run period 1 again in AFAB with restart but error message says "Account 'Acc.dep. accnt.for ordinary depreciation' could not be found for area 01" and refering to all of the incorrect AuC that I have corrected (to no depreciation key)
Please how can I go on? I want to reverse the depreciation in period 1 since I didn't get any posting i the general ledger. And then I want to make a new depreciation run only with correct assets (only depreciation on real assets, not on AuC).
Please help!
I am very thankful for any help!
Many many thanks in advance!
with regards,
Prabhakar

Hi,
I had the similar situation couple of months back. I followed below mentioned process and it worked out well.
1) Maintain GL account for depreciation in AO90
2) restart depreciation run for the relevant period
3) change the depreciation key to 0000
4) repeat depreciation run for the same period (It will post a reverse entry in the same month itself. So the net impact of depreciation in the same month is zero).
By the way I have a suggestion to prevent this issue in future.
You may not be able to detect this issue on test run if you execute on foreground mode because the test run execution is restricted to 1000 assets. If the error is on 1001th asset, you will not know.
Hence, always execute depreciation test run on background mode, check for any errors and execute production run only if there are no errors.
Hope this helps....

New Depreciation Area in Asset Master Data, for assets under construction.

Hi,
The issue is relating to New Depreciation area. We have created new Depreciation area as 80=IFRS. We had followed three steps
1. Create Depreciation area via OADB.
2. Activate Depreciation area via OAYZ.
3. Automatic opening of new depreciation are via AFBN and program RAFABNEW :-
3.1 u2013 Indicator: Leave values initial = ticked. Set this indicator if you want to open the newly created depreciation area without any values i.e. blank.
In this we have find that the old assets value has been copied. But when we are doing internal order settlement through KO88 i.e. from pre-cap to AUC we are not finding new Depreciation area 80=IFRS in AUC. We had checked in AW01N.
Letu2019s assume that creating a new deprecation area is normally not required since these assets are not depreciated. But During the final settlement, the new depreciation area should also automatically supplied with values from the reference depreciation area from the AUC(assets under construction) in the completed assets. But we doesnu2019t find any values of in Dep Key = 80 IFRS for final assets.
In Assets Class of AUC we had used Investmnet Measure as Status of AUC.
Kindly provide solution for the same.
Nikhil

Check Transfer Variant 5 (under Transactions->Intercompany Asset Transfers->Automatic Intercompany Asset Transfers->Define Transfer Variants):
5     Investment measure settlement
Your Transfer Method is most likely 1 now (without transfer to dependant areas), change it to:
4     Gross method with transfer of values to dependent areas
This should help.

Capitalize borrowing costs to asset under construction u2013 IAS23

Dear experts,
According to IAS 23 we are required to calculate interest on capital invested in an asset under construction.
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset form part of the cost of that asset. Where funds are borrowed specifically, costs eligible for capitalization are the actual costs incurred less any income earned on the temporary investment of such borrowings. Where funds are part of a general pool, the eligible amount is determined by applying a capitalization rate to the expenditure on that asset. The capitalization rate will be the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the general pool. The amount of borrowing costs that an entity capitalizes during a period shall not exceed the amount of borrowing costs it incurred during that period.
Detail scenario
The construction of a qualifying asset is controlled by an investment measures that are managed as projects - WBS elements and settled to an asset under construction periodically. The calculated interest shall update only the determine depreciation area set on the interest profile (OPIB).
The borrowing operations are managed by money market transaction on TRM (Prod. Category 550 Interest rate instrument).
Using the interest calculation function (CJZ2 - Individual Processing or CJZ1 - Collective Processing) we encountered several problems/ restrictions.
1 u2013 When funds are borrowed specifically to a qualifying asset for example, an interest rate instrument as a money market transaction on TRM should be capitalized according to the actual incurred borrowing cost and not by a capitalization rate. How to assign the value to the WBS element?
2 u2013 When funds are part of a general pool, although we can calculate and update the effective interest rate for each borrowing transaction (TMEZ) how to determine the weighted average capitalization rate by company code and define it on the Reference Interest Rates (OBAC) to be used in the interest calculation?
3 u2013 Even if the capitalization rate is defined and updated manually in the reference interest rate for the interest calculation, how to limit the amount of borrowing costs that will be capitalized during the period? The calculated interest in period shall not exceed the amount of borrowing costs it incurred during that period.
Is there any other functionality to support interest calculation and capitalization of borrowing costs to asset under construction according to IAS23 requirements?
Please advice.

Hi,
The interest rates for capitalization and for appropriation can be collected in separate cost centers and apportioned to WBS . If you incur interests at the group level,then using accrual apportion the relevant portion to the respective C/Codes.
For arriving the weighted average i assume you take the planned interest.For restricting the planned to the actual ones use the " Budget Manager" functionality,give the actual value,set zero tolerance.This will help restricting to the actuals.
Hope this helps.

Ramesh

Asset under construction-IM module

Hi,
I am planning to manage the asset under construction (AUC) by the PS module. This means to create the AUC through the WBS element, and finally settle to the final asset. For doing that I understand that the asset under construction class should be created as an investment measure.
I am asking if it is necessary to implement the IM module to manage the AUC by PS module.
If it is not necessary which is the difference of having IM implemented?
Regards,
Cecilia

Hi Cecillia,
To answer your questions:
You need to define specific asset class for AuC (status of AuC "investment measure" in OAOA)
You do not need to "implement" IM by creating investment programs but what technically make a internal order or WBS element an investment measure is the presence of an "investment profile" in their master record that will pilot the creation of the AuC. Investment profiles are defined in transaction code OITA that can be found of the IM part of the IMG
I second Ajay comment regarding the use of WBS elements (PS) vs. internal orders (CO) as investment measures: PS offers a lot more possibilities and options than CO but the set up, maintenance and daily use is much more complex. Take the time to consider both options.
Good luck and best regards
Thomas
