ASSET ACCOUNTING TREATMENT

HI,
I created the Asset PO mentioning the asset number and its GL which is assigned during the asset creation with asset class.
While doing GR no accounting document available and when posting invoice it is crediting to vendor and debit to that asset GL..
But the entry in my view should be like that vendor credit and GR/IR debit.
Kindly clarify the same
Regards

Dear sir
while creating PO you have given account assignment category A-asset. correct
in customization for account assignment category A- asset , GR Non-valuated indicator clicked.
while creating PO automatically GR non-valuated indicator will be clicked .
so when you do GRN no accounting document will generate, at the time of MIRO accounting document will genereate.
so check your PO GR Non-valuated clicked or not in item delivery tab.
regards

Accounting Treatment for CWIP (AUC)

Please Explaing me the Accounting Treatment for Capital Work In Progress.
what are the accounts we need to create for CWIP ( AUC ), & Whats the treatment in SAP.
As per my Knowledge when an asset under con, following entries will be effected.
1. 01.04.06 to 31.03.2007. ( Asset Under Construction ).
    CWIP Exp (P&M) A/c Dr 5000
        To Bank A/c                       5000
(For Exp incurred for CPWIP)
2. Capitlized on 01.04.2007.
      Plant & Machinery A/c     5000
           To CWIP Exp (P&M)             5000
( being Asset has been capitalized on 01.04.2007)
please guide me whether the above details correct or not.
if wrong please send me the procedure for CWIP.

Your entries are correct. In SAP you can settle AUC in two ways
Ist Method
1. Create AUC under 4000 asset class
2. Make postings to AUC through f-90
3. Make distribution rule using T Code AIAB
4. Settle the AUC using TCode AIBU
In step (3) you can distribute the amount spent on AUC to two or more assets otherwise you can give only one asset and then settle the AUC through AIBU.
2nd Method
1. Create an investment order (KO01)
2. System automatically creates AUC under asset class 4001
3. Enter distribution rule in the same screen ( like in the (3) above) or just give a cost center or an asset.
4. Post payments through F-90 and give the order number in that screen
5. Then settle the AUC using TCode KO88

Where we have to open and close posting periods in asset accounting

hi sap gurus
can anybody give where we have to open and close posting periods in asset accounting
thank you
venkatareddy

Hi Venkatareddy,
You make specifications for fiscal years and posting periods in the SAP R/3 System in Customizing for Financial Accounting. This is done in the fiscal year variant in the global parameters of the company code. These settings are, in general, also binding for Asset Accounting. The depreciation periods in Asset Accounting then correspond to the posting periods in Financial Accounting.<b> It is usually not necessary to create a separate fiscal year variant for Asset Accounting.</b>
The period control in the depreciation key determines the start and end of depreciation when asset transactions are posted . The period control determines the relationship between the calendar period in which the asset transaction is posted and the depreciation period.
These calendar periods are independent of the posting periods in Financial Accounting. The only restriction is that the beginning of the first calendar period and the end of the last calendar period defined in a period control have to match the start date and final date of the fiscal year in Financial Accounting.
Kindly let me know if this useful for you

New Blogs: Asset Accounting and Project Systems

There are two new blogs out this month in the ERP space.
Dominic Nadeau has blogged about a useful tcode in PS to track changes to a project.
/people/dominic.nadeau/blog/2008/06/09/fields-in-problem-in-a-project
I've written a blog on the Schedule Manager Monitor. I've given an example related to Asset Accounting but it works for most all areas in FI/CO.
/people/nathan.genez/blog/2008/06/17/gaining-more-insight-into-fixed-asset-job-monitoring
-nathan

When you create the WBS in will create from there an AUC. In the auc in the tab origin you see the project number.
When you settle it from the AUC (in PS) to the final asset you found the AUC number back in the asset tab origin. You can click to on the posting on the asset

Clarifications in Asset Accounting

Dear Experts,
Please clarify below questions.
1) What is the difference between Depreciation Area and Depreciation Key?
2) What is the importance of Recalculate value button in Asset Accounting?
3) Suppose I have 1000 assets, if I want to run depreciation only for 200 assets how can I do that?
4) If suppose I have 5 Depreciation areas, I am able to see the book depreciation values only, where I
can see the other depreciation values? If we cant see for which purpose we are using other
depreciation areas?
5) Vendor and Customer balances get update regularly or once in a month or year?
6) Where we have to create number ranges either in Production or Development Environment?
7) How can we transfer GLs from one environment to another?
Full points will be assigned as way of thanks
Regards,
Vineela

Hi Krishna,
Thanks for your reply,But still I need some more clarifications please respond........
2) What is the importance of Recalculate value button in Asset Accounting?-
(A)recalculates depr when asset parameters are changed
Where it will be there as it(recalculate button) is not there in AFAB
3) Suppose I have 1000 assets, if I want to run depreciation only for 200 assets how can I do that?
(A)select those 200 and run depreciation
Here Assets Selection option is there only in test run not there in update run.
4) If suppose I have 5 Depreciation areas, I am able to see the book depreciation values only, where I can see the other depreciation values? If we cant see for which purpose we are using other depreciation areas? (A)use AW01N- you cans ee all dep areas
In AW01N only book depreciation values is displayed,how can I see other depreciation area values

Re - Process asset accounting year end process

Hi,
Case- XYZ company is already on K4 fiscal year variant, they want to switch from K4 (calendar year) to V3 (Non- calendar year). Standard SAP process is to create shortened fiscal year for 3 months. But this is only allowed if no entries posted in new fiscal year. This XYZ company is already in the month of Feb. How can we manage this situation in SAP. Asset accounting is implemented in the system. Planned depreciation has already been calculated for 12 months, how can we rewrite planed depreciation? and depreciation has been posted for one Jan 2011.
Plan 1- Keep K4 variant as it is and control this with the help of OB52 to restrict posting. This will allow them to run their day to day process with out any errors in fiscal year 2011
Plan 2 - Maintain K4 as shortened fiscal year and update table T093C to allow system to identify that this 2011 fiscal year is shortened fiscal year. but in both cases question remains what to do with planned depreciation of remaining 9 months?
Waiting for your feed back.
Thanks and Regards,
Sany..

Hi
The system will show you the list of Assets which are incomplete.
I think for the incomplete asset you have not assign the group asset.
Hence in AS02 transaction enter one by one the incomplete assets and complete the same. then run the AJAB transaction which will allow you to close the asset year.
if the answer is helpful kindly assign points
Thanks & Regards

Error - Asset Accounting

Hi All,
I have an Issue in Asset Accounting.Details are mentioned bellow. Pls help me with your advices to resolve this.
Fiscal year assigned for our Company Code is Z1 and it starts from April 2007 till March 2008. We have run the depreciation for 8 periods (i.e., from April 2007 to Dec 2007). After posting the depreciation for December 2008, Management has decided to change the fiscal year to April 2007 to Dec 2007. So that we will have the Calendar year as the Fiscal year from 2008 (jan 2008 to Dec 2008). So that i have change the posting periods by shortened the fiscal year.
As System calculates the depreciation for 12 months and it distributes into 12 periods in that year, postings are done for the first 9 months (Apr 2007 to Dec 2007). And there is balance of 3 months depreciation not posted in the system according to the system initial calculation. So while running the depreciation for 1st Posting Period of 2008 (jan 2008) system has shown error. And so that i have test run the depreciation (AFAB) for the December 2007 with selection of Repeat Run. Results of the test run shows as Amount Posted in Dec 2003 is with correct figures and amount to be posted is with the amount of the 3 months depreciation. So system is expected to post the 3 months Depreciation. Only then we could able to run the depreciation for January 2008.
But we are not required to post those 3 months depreciation in Dec 2007 as that is the last posting period in 2007 and we have already posted the depreciation for this month.
Pls help me to provide the solution to change the amounts which are shown in Amount to be posted column if i repeat run for Dec 2007.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Rao

FICO : Asset Accounting - Depreciation Run Issue

Dear Friends,
I have an issue in asset accounting.
Let me explain the actual background of this issue.
1. I created a new company code(2000) by copying the existing one(1000 along with the closed year 2009
2. After that when i was trying to post acquisition for an asset i got the below error
You cannot post to asset in company code 2000 fiscal year 2011
3. Then i closed the year 2010 and opened 2011, it allowed me to post in the month of june
4. Now i am trying to run the depreciation for june, its giving the below error.
According to posting cycle, you should post period 001 next
5. What could be the reason for this error , is it the correct procedure what i am doing it now?
Please help if someone has an idea about that
Thanks ,
Perumal.

Hi,
You can get the solution if you double click the error message.
Please note that depreciation of current month can only be posted if the depreciation dycles till the previous month is completed. Coming to your case, you have opened the year 2011 and trying to post depreciation for period 6. You need to run the depreciation cycles from period 1 to 5 before trying to post for period 6.

Asset Accounting: Lineal Depreciation

Hey!
I have implanted the module of Asset Accounting. We have defined a lineal depreciation Key for some assets. But when we enter to the Asset explorer (AW01N), we can see that we have different values for each posting period (the posting periods are defined in months). I think this is because each month have diferente days so Sap calculate different values. We think that SAP is considering if the month has 31 days or 30 days.
I want the depreciation to be calculated with the same value each month. In what point of the cuztomizing I can define this?
Thank you in advance,
Leyre

Pls check the settings for the period control methods where you can define the no.of days with FV, based on the days wise you can restrict the depreciation amounts calulation, but the specific amounts option will not be available to serve your purpose.
Let me know for any further info.

Suresh

Asset Accounting Reports - Can they be run for any selection of dates

Folks,
I have a query - in Asset Accounting, can I run any of the reports (for current fiscal year and closed fiscal years) for any selection of start and end dates? so for example, if I want to run the Asset history sheet for fiscal 2007 (which has been closed in my books), can I run this report for say the month of July 2007 (July 1-31, 2007)?
I was under the impression that asset reports for closed fiscal years could be run for the entire year ONLY!
An early response would be appreciated.
Thx,
Sameer Aroskar

Hi Sameer
I think I did answer this in other forum but anyway here you go again !
Select Transaction OARP >> Depreciation Lists >> RAGAFA01(Posted Depreciation) - Select this and Execute.
Select the require company codes and necessary parameters then under Settings select the Depreciation Posting Period e.g. 4 for the required Report date which can be last day of the month from the required previous years. eg 30.04.2007 etc.
Cheers !

PS: award points if you find the answer useful.

Asset Accounting Doubts

Hi Experts
Can you please tell me how we can calculate tax for assets while doing depreciation.
what are the month-end & year-end activities in asset accounting.
what is the use of assigning cost center in AA.

Hi Venu,
Calculate taxes while running depreciation - Not sure why there is requirement to calculate taxes for depreciation run. If it is tax depreciation (as per income tax laws), you can have a separate depreciation area and assign depreciation key as per the law.
Month end and year end closing activity - You need to run depreciation monthly. If you have a non leading ledger, run ASKB to post to non-leading ledgers. Year end you need to run AJAB to close the year and then AJRW to do a fiscal year change.
Use of assigning cost center in AA - We do this to determine the responsibility center for the asset (where location is not used) as well to post depreciation to the correct cost center.
Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards

Company Code (Fusion) Asset Accounting Legacy Migration

Hi SAP Experts
We are going to initiate a project where a company code Y will be fusionated to a company code X
Therefore only company code X will prevail at the end on the month.
This migration is made within the fiscal year (april 2015) with a calenda K4 (january to december)
Some balance migration is planned, however we have the following scenario:
Company code X has asset accounting component working since 2006
Company code Y does not have asset accounting component within SAP, posting are made directly to SAP (and depretiation calculation posting are made outside SAP)
We are planning to "transfer the values" from company code Y -> to the asset acccounting component from company code X
Due theese assets are not "new assets" but "legacy asset" how it should be the right steps?
We have identified two options so far:
a) As a "legacy transfer", (AS91) transaction (create legacy data)
Some SAP documentation refers to take care about the timing to made this; in our case is within the fiscal year
Also a "data transfer date" or "take over date" must be defined on table V_T093C_08 in order to identify a value date for the legacy transfer
IMG > Asset Accounting > Asset Data Transfer > Parameteres for Data Transfer > Date Specification
There are several prerequisites such as company code status allowed for data transfer, set the above date for data transfer and I think also set a period where the legacy company code finish their posting.
We suspect this is the second or third time the company code X has transfer legacy data.
Do you have experience managing this option within SAP?
What issues must be considered
We do not want to impact the existing fixed assets values and previous asset transfers values with our new asset transfer within the fiscal year.
b) As a "acquisition without a vendor" ABZON
I think this option does not required so much customizing, usign this option I think I should put the last value for the legacy asset accounting and set the initiation date for the new depretiation posting accordingly.
I suspect the disadvantage here is do not have a historical data, however may these is the secure path.
I notice using ABZON transaction I need to set an account determination call "Contra account: Acquisition value" that is defined on table V_T095_MASTER or customizing transaction AO90
For this option we are guessing which type account must be.
I think it should be a balance account (due no vendor is implied) however we are not sure about this point
Many thanks for your inputs and ideas
Fernando Luna

Hi Fernando Luna
For my perception, option 1 makes sense because you may need to check historical values as well as depreciation posted in legacy system. As you highlighted, the key point to use AS91 to take over legacy assets are below customizing:
IMG: Asset Accounting -> Asset Data Transfer -> Parameters for Data Transfer -> Date Specifications ->
=> Specify Transfer Date/Last Closed Fiscal Year
=> Specify Last Period Posted in Prv.System (Transf.During FY)
Above setting affecting legacy take-over only, it wouldn't affect existing asset including previous taken-over legacy assets. After finishing legacy asset migration, you may need to execute depreciation recalculation at company code level.
Hope this information is helpful.
Regards
George

Incorrect posting in asset accounting after legacy asset transfer

I have an issue in Asset accounting.
The depreciation key used is LINA (with a base method 0009 and Dec. bal. method 001 straight line depreciation)
My question is:
An asset was acquired 02/01/2005. It has an expected useful life of 1/11.
Under AS93.
I see the asset ***. acquisition value 205,695.00
Accu.ord. deprec - 78,784.06
The asset was transferred to SAP at 03/31/2007.
Now In aw01n I see the following:
Legacy data transfer Per 3 Ord. deprec 10,143.87
Posted Per 4 13,364.13
Posted 5 5877.00
Posted 6. 5877
Till 8th month posted 5877.
The posted values are wrong. Since it was transferred to SAP it has a useful life
of 1 year. At this rate it will go for 3 years.
What can I do to rectify this error?
Why is it posting 5877?
Thanks,

Hi Roma,
The useful life has to be the Total Useful life of the asset.
Since your useful life is less than the expired usefull life the system is calculating depr. for after the end of useful life, which for base method 0009 is curbing.
<i>Curb
With depreciation beyond the planned useful life, the depreciation percentage rate can be derived, not only from the planned useful life, but also from the actual useful life. This method produces a declining-balance effect instead of a straight-line effect (curb).
Use Base Method 0007, this does not curb.
Kind regards
An asset that originally had a useful life of 10 years is depreciated in year 11 by 1/11 = 9.09 %, in year 12 by 8.33 % and in year n with 100/n %.
When you use below-zero depreciation with a curb, the system determines the percentage rate, after the end of planned life, to the exact period and not to the year.</i>
