Are fixed assets items non-inventory

Dear All,
I am using SAP 2007 B PL 12. Do the fixed assets items also needs to be marked as 'Inventory Item' in the item master by ticking on the inventory item checkbox ?

What are options for applying non-inventory costs to production orders?

We have a non-inventory costs that need to be assigned to product produced on production orders. There are two processes -make-to-order and make-to-stock.
Currently we use activity rates to apply labor and burden costs to our production. We use separate cost centers where needed to ensure that we have sufficient granularity to our activity rates applied.
We have a few specific issues where we need to understand the options for applying costs -
1) We have freight and duty costs related to inbound raw material that we want to assign to our final product. The amount assigned may be either a specific amount (or a specific amount per model), or a % of the total cost on that production order.
2) We have material on the production order bill of material that is called out by quantity and we are using discrete backflush, however we have found there are issues with the accuracy of the quantities. We want to have this product ordered using KANBAN (bin ordering) and have the value relieved from inventory when the bin is issued to production. The cost on the production order is envisioned to be an average amount for the product - or an average amount by model.
3) We want to have a portion of cost for production scrap included in the cost of each product produced. (similar to freight and duty).
In all cases- the amount can change depending on analysis from accounting regarding freight and duty costs (these fluctuate depending on the cost savings we achieve with combined loads and depending on the amount of out of country sourcing), the scrap amount may change periodically depending on the initiatives to reduce scrap on the production floor, etc.
We currently use three activity types, labor, burden and tooling. It is my understanding that there is a limitation in SAP that keeps us limited to 6 activity types.
My questions are:
Are we limited on activity types? these are an option to apply additional costs, but may not be the best option if we want to change the amount applied based on model or apply as a percentage.
Are there other options for applying costs that we can explore? I want to be sure we take into account the various options available before we start down a specific path.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

As clarification- we are using standard costing for our raw material. We currently accumulate the incoming freight in a balance sheet account. This is treated as part of our inventory. We have considered using an activity type with a activity added to the BOM to apply the cost to the production order. Then we could use the secondarly cost element data to book an entry to relieve the freight account on the balance sheet.
Because we use standard costing- access to see production order variance is critical and must be maintained in any process we select. We also use COPA reporting- so the costing information must be able to flow to COPA for the specific orders/products/serial numbers.
We are doing make to order (production order / sales order specific combination) but also looking at a make to stock process - so the method to apply costs must take both of these configurations into consideration.
Rajneesh - you mentioned that I am limited to 6 activities in a work center- but does that mean I can have more than 6 activity types in SAP but only 6 activities in a work center/cost center combination?
Thank you.

Depreciation calculation for Indian Tax Depreciation Area - Fixed Assets

Can any one of you kindly advice how to setup the Multi levels methods and Period controls for Tax Depreciation key in Indian Tax Depreciation area.
My Leading ledger Fiscal year: Jan u2013 Dec (Year dependend)
And Non-leading ledger (India) Fiscal year: April u2013 March (Year dependend)
I was able to post correct depreciation for leading and non-leading ledger Depreciation areas with a stated percentage. But the calculation of Tax depreciation area is incorrect.
As per client requirement, Tax depreciation area is setup only reporting purpose and no Depreciation posting.
Required Depreciation Calculation for Tax Depreciation Area:
For Acquires & Additions,
Rule1:
If it is >=180 days (as per Non-leading ledger Fiscal year) the system should calculate depreciation as stated percentage. Eg: 10%
Rule2:
If it is <180 days (as per Non-leading ledger Fiscal year) the system should calculate depreciation of 50% on stated percentage. Eg: Stated percentage is 10%, then it should be 5%.
Early responses will be appreciated.
Thanks much for the help.

Bapu

Hi JBC,
please search this Forum, I think basic questions about Indian tax depreciation have been asked dozen of times in this Forum here. You should find some answers in earlier threads.

Purchasing - A/P Transaction Processing for Services and Non Inventory Item

On of the main areas of concern that businesses have is in the area of Purchasing, Goods Receipts and AP Invoices Processing - There is a requirement that businesses have widely referred to as 3-way matching.
While SAP Business One has this functionality covered quiet well via the following, there is still some need for enhancements so that the application can correctly reflect the AP Accruals:
- Purchase Order processing with Approval Process (if configured)
- Ability to perform Goods Receipts for Services.
- Matching of AP Invoices to Goods Receipts with AP Invoice Approval Process (if configured)
The above transactions serve the 3-way matching quiet well for all purchases however when it comes to accuring for Services that have been provided, the application does not do this. The Goods Receipt transaction processing to acknowledge the service delivery is allowed however the related posting to the allocation account is missing.
The process that is followed by the application is same for Items that have not Inventory Items in Item Master.
As a result of the above, the business have to manually work out what the Accurals for services provided but not invoiced should be.
With little enhancement to the product this shortfall could very easily be overcome.

Hi,
Once there are transactions, we cannot make existing Inventory type item to Non Inventory type item.
Check SAP note:937297 which states as follows :
Symptom
Changing the status of the Inventory Item checkbox (in Item Master Data) for items with inventory transactions and documents, might lead to inaccuracies in the calculations of inventory value.
Other terms
Inventory Item, Non-inventory Item, Item Master Data, Continuous Stock, Perpetual Inventory, Inventory Valuation, 2004, 2005, 2005 A SP01
Reason and Prerequisites
Consulting Note
Solution
The status of an item (Inventory Item/Non-Inventory item as selected in the Inventory Item checkbox in the Item Master Data window), cannot be changed once an A/P, A/R, or Inventory document is posted for the item.

Fixed assets - non standard webadi

Hi,
I would like to know if you can use webadi for fixed assets using non standard input. The purpose of the execise is to get an excel spreadsheet details(interface details) onto an oracle table.

If you have any predefined integrator defined in WebADI for Fixed Assets then you can do it.
Otherwise you ned to define a custom integrator .

Fixed Asset - A/P Credit memo

Hi All,
Is any body knows how to raise A/P Credit Memo for an item defined as fixed asset?
What are the things we need to take care of before raising the A/P credit memo for fixed asset item?
thanks
SV Reddy

Hi Yogi,
The scenario is like this. I have accidentally added a fixed asset into the system, for that an A/R Invoice is already raised in the B1 system. for that I like to raise a contra which is A/P Credit memo. so that will reverse the transaction.
please reply
thanks

Purchase Order and Fixed Asset Module.

Hi all,
I want to print my purchase order of fixed asset for record purposes. But the thing, I can't link purchase order or any of A/P documents to my fixed asset.
Meaning, if A/P invoice has been added into the system, it will not update my fixed asset master data.
Therefore, I have to use PO for printing, since there's no way to print Fixed Acquisition as a document. By doing this, i need to maintain both Item Master Data and Fixed Asset Master Data with Fixed Asset items, which i find tedious.
Is there a solution for this, like perhaps there's a way to copy info from PO to FA acquisition, or Posted A/P Invoice that contains Fixed Asset item will be linked to FA Acquisition, or perhaps there's a way to print FA Acquisition (like a PLD) that i am not aware of?
Please do help.
Thanks upfront!
Rgrds,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
I am afraid to inform you that the print layout function is not
supported for Fixed asset transactions such as acquisition.
As you mentioned, if you want to use it as PO document, you will need to create PO in business one since no integration is realized between Purchasing in business one and acquisition in Fixed asset addon.
If you think this will have critical impact on your business process, please post your requirement in our SAP Business One Product Development Collaboration.

How to capitalise those non inventory items (no mat #) to asset?

Hi,
We created a PO few month ago. PO with expenses item (account assignment K, charge to cost center). We have performed GR, IR, Payment to vendor. Now, business request to capitalize it to Asset, instead of charge out.
We are impossible to reverse payment, reverse GR, and amend the PO.
Please suggest me how to capitalise this non inventory item to asset? Thanks

Go to F-02
Dr PK = 70 and Account is your asset ; Transaction type = 100
Cr PK = 50 and Acccount is your GL account where you posted earlier
To know the GL account posted earlier goto PO/item/Account Assignment.

Need negative quantity non-inventory items on Credit Memo

Version: (2007A)
Description of requirements: (Please provide a detailed description)
Our customer issues many invoices with a negative quantity line item for a miscellaneous non-inventory item. These non-inventory items are used to reduce the amount of the invoice regarding miscellaneous credits to their customers. These are not discounts.
When the customer wants to credit these invoices, they canu2019t create a Credit Memo based on the invoice because SAP wonu2019t allow this if there are line items with negative amounts.
When they create a credit memo not based on an invoice, they arenu2019t allowed to enter a negative quantity for a line item as they are for an Invoice. They are forced to create a credit memo not based on an invoice the inventory item line items and an invoice or Journal Entry for the negative quantity line item to debit back the miscellaneous line amount.
As an example:
Invoice line item one for inventory item: qty one, price 100,line total $100.00
Invoice line item two non-inventory item misc credit: quanity -1, price 10, total -$10.00
Invoice Total $90.00
In Order to provide the correct credit amount, they have to create a Credit Memo not based on an invoice for line item one, qty one, price 100 u2013 value -100 and an invoice for the non-inventory item for qty one, price 10 - value 10.00.
This creates a net credit for the customer of 90.00
This looks ridiculous to their customers when they see these transactions on their statements, creates extra work for the users and there is no link between the three documents.
By using inventory items for these miscellaneous credits, they can assign a sales revenue of their choice. They have multiple sales accounts and the GL posting is determined by the item group for the item. By assigning the desired item group to these non-inventory items, they can control which sales account is updated on their marketing documents when using these non-inventory items.
If they were to use the Freight items, they would need a separate freight setup entry for combination of item group and miscellaneous credit. Because they have so many Item Groups and types of credits, they would need a great many separate Freight Charges to choose from.
All of the above pertains to all of our customers. This customer has a custom add-on and their marketing documents are all created from custom objects. They hit a button on the custom sales contract screen and an invoice is created. When they hit another button on the screen, the selected invoice is credited. They have legally binding contracts for fixed quantities to be shipped, so we decrease the quantity shipped when creating an invoice and decrease the quantity shipped when a credit memo is created. The contract is fulfilled when the exact quantity contracted for has been shipped. Because the credit memo fails, we canu2019t update the custom objectu2019s remaining to be shipped, rendering it inaccurate from that time forward. (reducing the quantity shipped is part of the Credit Memo creation process).Creating Credit Memos and Invoices from the interface fixes the inventory count, customer balance, etc., but we have no way of fixing the sales contractu2019s quantity shipped & remaining to be shipped or linking the contracts to the documents created from the interface.
Business needs: (Please describe the impact on your business, if the functionality is not realized)
Examples: (Please describe a typical example, how the functionality should work.)
Credit Memos should allow negative quantities and line total amounts for non-inventory items, the same way that A/R Invoices do, so that credit memos can be based on invoices that have negative quantity non-inventory line items.
Current Workaround: (Please describe the workarounds you are using at the moment)
Please see above
Proposed solution: (Please suggest how the new functionality should work)
Credit Memos should allow negative quantities and line total amounts for non-inventory items, the same way that A/R Invoices do.

Hi Sean......
System is behaving properly as per its logic. Infact it does same in all the previous or upcoming versions.
If you have Item Type GRPO for Non Inventory Item it does not create any accounting but you can see the same during AP invoice.
GRPO for such type is only optional. For further clarification you can discuss this with your CA what he suggests. But i suggest you to raise AP invoice also for getting Account effect. Just see doing this in test DB you get your answer......

Asset procurement & Non stock item procurement

Hi,
I want to procure Asset items. For that do i need to maintain asset master & material master both. Than create Purchase order with AAC as A. Will the PO be framework order or standard PO?Can anyone pls let me know the steps
Also for non stock items do i have to do GR. In that case the goods are coming to stock as i have to give storage location during migo. What is the procedure?

Hi,
For procuring Assets, you will have to maintain Asset master & material master both in your system. You place a PO for the material (which you define as your asset & want to capitalize) & maintain AAC as A- Asset. Then at the item level, you assign the asset code to the masterial. After you post the GRN, the debit entries are posted to the asset.
You have to post the GR for non stock items as well as stock items. The non stock item will be consumed dirctly to the acount assignment you have mentioned. For stock item, the inventory posting will be done. For stock item, the storage location will flow from the PO (if mentioned) otherwise you will have to post it yourself at MIGO in tab 'Where' at Storage Location'.

Inventory / Asset Items

Hi All,
There are few Items which are maintained in our DB as Fixed Assets, and now we want to use the same Item as Inventory also. So How do we maintain this. Below is the example of an Item with the senareo.
Item: Wire, Fixed asset and Purchase Item Check Box ticked. Maintained as Asset Item.
We Purchased this Item for the first time.
Purchased 10000 mtrs, which costed about Rs. 200000
Now we want purchase the same Item of 10 mtrs, which is costing us only Rs 200.
It means that at the time of first purchase we are maintaining it as fixed asset and after that we are using it as inventory item.
Thankyou.

Hi,
My first question is this...
1.The item which you have created is checked as fixed asset alone?
2. Do u have any posting on that item if you had set as fixed asset checked and purchase item.
if so
for 1 Point -> if the second point is not there then you can simply change the fixed asset as inventory item checked and purchase item check also.
For 2. Point -> if you had done as said in the point 2 then you have create a new item and execute your scenario.

Fixed assets addon - question about items...

Hi,
Does an asset item has necessarily to be inventoried ?? If so, this is not logical to see them in the Audit Report.... what do you think about that ?
thanks,
Luce

Hi Luce,
Stock Audit report is for all stock items which can be found in 'Inventory-> Item Master Data' in the company.
When you define a new fixed asset in fixed assets module, Financials -> Fixed Assets -> Fixed Asset Master Data, the fixed assets will not be shown in stock audit report because the asset is not a item in item master data.
When you define a assets class from Administration ->Setup -> Fixed Assets -> Define Asset Classes, the asset classes are defined as items and appear in the item master data. Consequently, some items in your system represent asset classes. Using items enables Fixed Assets to be integrated easily with the Purchasing and Sales modules in subsequent versions of Fixed Assets. This integration means that you can, for example, purchase assets using the purchase order and incoming invoice processes.
If you manage the fixed assets on assets level, not classes level,there will be no stock transactions for these assets classes and the assets classes will not be shown in stock audit report.
On the other hand, if you make some stock transaction on these assets classes in Business One core module, the assets classes will be shown in stock audit report.
I hope this anwsers your question.

How to correct journals for non inventory items

Hi All,
One of my client by mistake made a non-inventory item as an inventory item and used FIFO valuation.
Now he has created some 30 purchase invoices, goods receipt PO for it in the last month.
While doing month end they reconcillation they realized the inventory numbers are bloated and found this problem.
Now they have cancelled the old item defination and created a new one.
But the problem is how to correct the journal entries for the what has already been done.
Problem is that Cost of this item is wrong because it got created as a inventory item and was using FIFO.
Please suggest a fastest route to correct this problem.

Divam

Hi Divam........
I guess Inventory revaluation is not possible in case of Non Inventory Item. You must take the goods return on GRN basis......

Oracle does not offer this functionality.
You will have to write a personalization that will query FA based on the item and display the message to the user.
To invoke this personalization, the user may have to go to tools > show FA. This Show FA is a new option you create by personalization.

How to identify Inventory and non inventory items

Dear all,
what are the ways to differentiate inventoried and non inventoried items.
please advise. thanks.
Thanks and regards
Udaya

he means the purchase order item category which can be seen in transaction ME23N.
You never made clear if you want differentiate in SAP or the physical stock in the warehouse.
As already explained by another one, in SAP you can procure one material number either to stock or to be expensed immediatly while receiving.
However, physically you dont see any difference, you have to take organizational measures to not store expensed material together with material procured to stock.
Even further, you should try to receive items which are not procured to be stored, at a different physical receiving place.
In MIGO transaction at item detail in tab WHERE you will see a storage location if the material is to be stored in your warehouse, but you will not see a location if the material is procured directly to a project or cost center. then you see a receipient instead .
