Archivation of asset subnumber object AM_ASSET

Hi experts,
I want to archive few subnumbers of asset. For example I have asset P09.08.011 subnumber 0 which have subnumbers 1 - 21.
I want to archive asset subnumbers from 13 - 19. There is not amount in those subnumbers.
I searched web, and I found some guides e.g . Data archiving in FIAA
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPFI/DataArchivinginFI-+AA
but when I tried to create write variant for archivation object AM_ASSET, I didn't found any possibility to enter asset subnumbers in archivation variant. I can only enter assets, but no subnumbers in test mode with archive file.
Is there possibility to archive only few asset subnumbers ?
Can I somehow copy archivation object AM_ASSET and somenow change this copy for my purpose?
Please help me ...
Thanks and regards,
Adrian

Hi Adrian,
Looks like you are right - info structure AM_ASSET does not support archiving by asset subnumber.
What you could do is a development to expand the info-structure to include sub-numbers. I am not an expert in that; you may want to post something in the archiving forum under application lifecycle management.
Good luck,
Tammy

No archive information found for object type and document type

Hi All,
When i try to view the print preview for a perticular doc type, system is giving the error as "No archive information found for object type and document type"
Diagnosis
    No information was found about optical archiving. This may be due to
    either of the following reasons:
    1. No valid archiving parameters were passed
    2. Your system is not configured for optical archiving
System Response
    Processing is cancelled.
Procedure
    Specify valid archiving parameters or check whether your system is configured for optical archiving
Regds,

Hello,
You are trying to Print & also archive by selecting the option Print & Archive.
You have to do archivelink configurations and then create document type and assign to the object type with content repository with archivelink table.
If you want to archive the spool or output then you have to use object type as DRAW. If you are archiving invoice document or letters or so on then you have to know the object type/Business object of the transaction.
Please note that for archivelink configuration, attachment will be either stored in archive server or in SAP database table based on business requirement.
Hope this will give you some understanding on archiving area.

Asset Subnumber Question ...

Hii SAPfans,
l have been assign by my boss to enhance Asset management in our company, i need your help to explain what does Asset Subnumber mean & what is the function of this subnumber ?
kindly help ....

Hi
SAP defines sub number as below:
Number, which in combination with the main asset number, uniquely identifies an asset in the system.
Using the asset sub-number makes it possible to represent complex fixed assets in the system.
The fixed asset is identified by the main asset number. Each individual part of the asset, or subsequent acquisitions, can be represented by a sub-number. You have to enter separate master data for each sub-number
However while you digest the definition, you need to check with your boss the scope of the AA.
AA is not a stand alone but is a integrated functionality with other SAP components.
Specific to sub numbers, try to fix one main asset under which possibility of assigning sub asset is probable.
Proceed with creation of seperate asset master records.

Automate Archive of assets when production is "completed"

I know this should be an easy one, but I can't seem to get it to work.
If a production status is marked as "completed" I want all of the assets to automatically go to archive. Note that I'm not quite sure how an asset that is shared in multiple productions is going to handle this, but I can address that later.
I've setup the the following:
Watch: Metadata. If production status matches "completed" then -
Email response & Archive Response to "archive" device
That's it. I get the emails, but an archive never starts. Not even when the asset is only a part of a single production.
Am I missing something? Thanks!

Ok, seems it does not work for Productions or FCP Projects, only for individual assets. I have set up everything correct and the assets get archived.
When you look at the shortcut menu of an FCP Project or a Prodcution, there is also no "archive" function.

Cannot Archive Bundle Assets

Just trying out FCS for the first time this morning and things are looking great, except for one issue I have found so far. It's great that it can maintain a folder structure when you throw a folder at it and create a "bundle asset", however, when I try to run the "archive" command on that bundled asset, it always presents me with the following dialogue:
Entity /dev/7/4/AssetName doesn't know how to do PmdActionGETFILENAME
Where AssetName is the name of the folder that was uploaded as a bundled asset. Has anyone else had luck with this and I'm missing something obvious, or have I found a bug?
Many thanks,
Josh

Hi Josh,
I have the latest updates (10.5.6, 1.1.1, ProApps 2008-5) and yet I have this problem.
How did you manage to get a solutions for this?
To get things worse, if the Archive Device is a FTP Device it says it`s not supported archiving folders!!!!
How crazy can be that? Do you (or anybody else) know a workaround this?
I`m cracking my head for about 2 days for NOT compressing the directory bundle (zip, tar, ditto or anything - because I`ve ran into size problems and the uncompressions getting errors)?
Best Regards
Just an "update": I do still receive this error in FCSVR client, BUT checking the archive device the "bundle" is there under the /asset/number but I do not have the representation deleted and with the yellow archive. This is really strange!!! But then again, anyone know how to send to a FTP device?
A possible workaround would be to create a "temp" DEVICE (nor archive) send to there and with responses and stuff move to ftp archive and change the archive status (if possible). This could be a mess to "restore"... Any suggestions?
Thanks

2) Can there be any possible reasons for this error ?
Your inputs would be really helpful.

Hello,
Usually PCNs will created automatically by the system, when you do a stock category change.
First you try to process the PCN using LT05 , if it is giving any error , go to LU02 and enter you PCN number and change the status to Processesed(U). Before doing this make sure to check the IM & WM stocks and close the PCN.

Asset subnumber

Hi gurus,
I have an asset activated in 2001 which has a useful life of 5 months, 6 months.
Before this asset depreciated completely a subnumber was posted, with activation date july 2006.
On this asset the depreciation start was set as the depreciation start for the main number in 2001.
Why no depreciation is calculated on subnumber?
Regards,
Miroslav

Hi Miroslav,
Your problem is probably caused by the depreciation key that you are using. Verify its configuration using T code AFAMA. As you stated in your blog the useful life has expired for the subnumber asset. The depreciation key you are using may not have a changeover method for posting depreciation after the useful life has expired (changeover method "5"). Therefore, it doesn't know what to do with the remaining depreciation. If a changeover method is defined after the expiration of the useful life, then verify when the next phase is told to take remaining depreciation (i.e. beginning of year). It may try to take it at the beginning of 2008. Verify by running a Asset History Sheet or Depreciation Simulation report for 2008.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Chad

Difference between the archive and cache_archive in object tag

hello,
I am trying to find the difference between the archive and cache_archive for the object tag to use for applet.
I was going through this link which discusses the applet caching :
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/plugin/developer_guide/applet_caching.html
Especially : A sticky applet is placed in a disk cache created and
controlled by Java Plug-in which the browser cannot overwrite.How do i find what is the disk cache on my machine, and how different it is from the normal cache.
Currently i am using the normal archive parameter in object tag, and when i go to the java plugin control panel, i see all the downloaded jars.
But wanted to know how will it be different from using the cache_archive parameter.
Please advise,

Hi Juraj!
I feel the same too - Except the fact that SessionFacade is used to access EJBs while the VO are built as response objects (i.e. assembled) and unassembled by different web requests.

Step-up assets (FMV - NBV) - Use of asset subnumber?

Hi all,
A question about step-up assets. Our client has recently acquired another company. The newly acquired assets would have a NBV that is either more or less than the fair market value. There is a business requirement that this difference in NBV and FMV has to be recorded and depreciated.
What are some available options? Can this difference be treated as an asset & assigned to the main asset as a child (subnumber)?
Thanks!

Thank you Bernhard.
Our business wants to use asset sub-numbers to manage these step-ups/step-downs.
One oustanding requirement is that they want to see these step-up/step-down assets separately in the ledger. In other words, they want to have different APC and depreciation accounts than the ones on the main asset. Is this possible? I always thought that you cannot have a different account determination on the asset sub-number than the one on the main asset.
If having different accounts is not possible, is there any otherway they can differentiate these step-up/step-down assets in the ledger (balance sheet/P&L)?
Thanks

Archiving of BAM database object.

Hello All,
I would like to do data management in BAM database object. Hence please answer the belwo questions.
Q1.How to transfer data from one BAM DO to another BAM DO? Can we developed a script which can do the same?
Q2.How to archive the BAM DO automatically?
Please help me out as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Ritesh Jain
Edited by: [email protected] on Aug 27, 2009 10:08 PM

Please explain the purpose behind data object archiving so that I can suggest proper solution.
Otherwise, the easiest solution for archiving dataobject and its contents is through icommand command line utility. See the documentation of icommand export to see how you can export data object definition and its contents to a file. As this is a command line utility, you can put this in your script/batch file to execute it periodically to take the back up of the dataobject contents.

No Field Copy during creation of assets Subnumber

Hello,
Is there any way to deactive the some field data during the Creation of Sub number when using the reference assets number.
I have already unchecked the copy field in Screen layout setting for Assets master data. But still the Capitalisation date and Ordinatory depreciation dates are copyed from the reference assets number.
I don't want to have the old value for the capitalisation date and ordinatory depreication strat date in the newly created Sub assets number.
kindly show the wayout of this issue.
With regards
Satish Karanath k.

hi Dominic Holdstock
Thanks for reply. you have given me vital clue to solve the problem. We have to uncheck the Main Assets number ("MnNo") in screen layout for master data.
I have assigned point for you.

Creation of Asset subnumber

Hi,
I just want to know if an Asset main number has been created and depreciation has also been posted on it and now if a sub number is to be created within the same main number system wont allow changing the depreciation start date.
User requirement is to create a sub asset within the main asset whose depreciation has been posted with the depreciation start date field to be in changeable mode but here the system has grayed out the field..
If this is like this then what else can we do
Any help

Hi,
This can be done using screen layout. But, be aware that the change in Depn. start date makes the system re calculate the deprecition depending upon the other criteria.

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
Arjan

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.

Krishna Kishore.
