Archivation of  asset subnumber

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 ?
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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.
    Regards,
    Krishna Kishore.

  • Double declining in asset subnumber

    Hi SAP Guru,
    I need to know why SAP system behave cutting down the depreciation value into 2 for asset sub number 1.
    With double declining multiplication factor 25% and maximum percentage rate 2.5%. The date of capitalized is 10.03.2014 and start depreciation is 22.02.2014. which mean the manual calc depre for 2014 is 10month.
    (25.183.558*25%)*(10/12)= 5.246.574
    The main asset is already finish depreciation and leave NBV ZERO since 2011.
    the question is why ordinary depreciation for this year 2014 just a half 2.623.288?
    Thank you master.

    Hi Prince,
    System is calculating the depreciation correctly. Your depreciation is based on useful life.
    (25.183.558/8)*10/12= 2,623,288.
    You have taken 25% instead of 8 years. Due to this the difference raised.

  • Storing archive device info in the asset.

    If I restore an asset, first of all I need to keep the original directory structure, WHY???
    And secondly, FCS deletes it from that archive... WHY???
    And if I want to copy it back to that archive device after I have used it, I have no information from which archive device I restored it from. This makes it impossible to keep duplicates of archives... I have no chance of remebering from which archive which file belongs to?
    Or am I missing some thing?

    Final Cut Server archives asset to a filesystem based directory structure i.e.
    Archive Device Folder/5
    With Archive Device Folder being the folder location of the device you specified an Archive Device and 1 being the Device ID that the asset originated from. For example "Library"
    If you archive an asset from the Library device it will create a folder hierarchy similar to that above, and copy the primary representation or hi res file to that location.
    You need to keep this directory structure in place because FCSvr references where it's put the asset based on the device the asset was originally stored and/or the FCP project it's a member of.
    If you remove/delete this archive device's directory hierarchy, you'll need to recreate it in order for FCSvr to properly restore an asset.
    Once you archive an asset, look at the Resource tab in asset's detail window. There will be a Link Type entry named Archive Copy. This will note what Device the assets has been archive to as well as the path and filename of the asset. Recreating this will allow FCSvr to restore the asset.
    Let me know if this answer any of your questions. Thanks.

  • No asset was archived for AM_ASSET OBJECT

    Hi Experts,
    I am new to SAP and Data Archiving.
    Please help me.
    What should be the residence time for AM_ASSET object.
    and If I try to archive AM_ASSET with residence time as 0 or blank. In job log i am getting d message "no asset was archived". what should be d reason?
    Regards,
    Mudiyappa

    If you are new to SAP and archiving then you should start with the docu which can be found help.sap.com
    the easiest way to get to the documentation is to use the archiving object name
    e.g. in Google just enter
    AM_ASSET site:help.sap.com
    Once you open such a link like Archiving FI Asset Data (FI-AA) - Financial Accounting (FI) - SAP Library
    then you can find the general introduction for data archiving as the first entry in the navigation menu on the left.
    This keeps you already busy for some hours (or days, if you take the chance to test what you read)
    This object specific  documentation has as well sections which talk about prerequisites and residence times.
    In any case, before you carry out an archiving job, you should make sure that you have the most recent OSS notes with bug fixes in your system. Archiving is something final, there is not much you can do if the data is gone. So go to the service.sap.com/notes site and search again with the archiving object and read those notes and decide which one needs to be in your system. Among them you will find plenty of information to get a deep understanding about archiving in general and for this specific object. Some are in dedicated consulting notes, other are just as explanation next to bug fixes.
    And if you execute an archiving job as a beginner, then always use the detailed log to get full information. Remember a job log is related to the technical execution of the job, the log with the error messages from archiving is found in the spool file to the job.
