Asset Accountng Issue

Hi
in AS01 creation of Asset master data, the description field is only 50 characters
and the Asset main text is also 50 Characters.
But client requirement is that the description he want to 200 characters because he has huge descrition to capture in asset name.
He want the same description in Print out also. If i use long text it is not printing in print out.
Can any one help on this

Hi Ravi,
To start with, the asset master data table <b>ANLA</b> only have provision for 50 characters under the field ANLA-TXT50 (Asset description) with field ANLA-TXA50 (Additional asset description) providing for additional storage of data. The same is true for Asset Text table <b>ANLT</b>.
If the Customer want to store 200 characters, then the tables would have to be enhanced first. You can only report on what you have within the database. No amount of query would bring out a 200-character description, if you have only stored 50 characters.
After the table enhancement, you can then store your 200-character description, after which you would then be able to report on it.
I hope the above helps.
Do not forget to award the points please.
Regards,
Jacob

Fixed Asset Importation Issue (Capitalisation Date)

Hello experts,
I have an issue regarding fixed asset importation.
I've import the fixed asset master data correctly in the system, with it's correct capitalisation date, APC, depreciation cumulative value and everything else correctly in the master data. Under Administration --> Data Import/Export --> Data Import --> Import Fixed Asset Master Data from Microsoft Excel.
However, where the issue is, it's now on the fixed asset history sheet, where the capitalisation date, is defined as the first date of the fiscal year "01/01/2014". Where by none of these assets were purchased on that date. But everything else on the report is correct except the capitalisation date.
Due to this issue, it is hard to explain how an asset was purchased on 01/01/2014, which have a use full life of 4 years, has depreciate completely in 2015. But if I check in its master data, I find out the capitalisation date is like in 6 years ego.
Note: I'm using SAP Business One 9.0 PL11
Any suggestion, comment or help is highly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Cedric Kayitare

Hi Cedric,
Capitalization date won't change it self after import. Check your import sheet which capitalization date you have enter. you need to execute fiscal year change and then import sheet.
If you have capitalization date for different years then you should have all period created and then year transfer.
In that case you will have to run depreciation from SAP for all corresponding year.
Post your sheet with heading for more understanding.

Chintan

Asset Revaluation issue - Reval of Current year depreciation

Hi All,
We are setting up the system to do asset revaluation for our company code in South America. My client wants to
revalue the assets from Jul'09 to Dec'09.
1) We have maintained inflation indexes for the last day of each period in the year 2009.
2) Maintained Posting Variants and Time Base and Exposure variant accordingly for all the periods and year as 9999.
3) Assigned the appropriate Time base and exposure variant in the period control method.
4) Maintained the Revaluation Areas:
a) Area 01 - Book
b) Area 02 - Inflation Adj (Revaluation Area)
c) Area 03 - Derived (Area 01+Area02)
d) Area 22 - Infla Adj in Group Currency
5) Maintained the Revaluation key and assigned it to the relevant Asset classes by Depreciation Area (02 and 22)
6) Maintained the transaction types as below:
897 - Revaluation (downward) current year
892 - Revaluation (upward) current year
891 - Revaluation (downward) prior year
893 - Revaluation (upward) prior year
7) Maintained the Inflation Method and last revaluation date on Inflation method as 01.07.2009.
8) We have also activated the Revaluation after useful life.
With this setup in the system I took a test asset which had depreciation postings for the period 08 and 09. When I
ran the J1AI - Revaluation (Inflation) Program in the test run mode the outcome was that the APC value of the asset
was being revalued and Revaluation of Prior year Depreciation but not the Revaluation of current year
Depreciation. Can anyone tell me why current year Depreciation is not being revalued.
Am I doing something wrong process-wise or configuration-wise?
Please help me in resolving this issue.
Regards,
Raj

Hi Rajesh Phanibatla,
I've always happened that Issue. But what I realized is that although the program output (J1AI) does not show you nothing on "Rev of CY Depn", the system calculates. This only happens for the first month of adjustment (In your case, Aug 08).
Try checking the test asset with the Assets Explorer (AW01N) just after running the adjust (J1AI) in background process (NO test mode) at 31.08.2009. See if the area Area 02 - Inflation Adj (Revaluation Area) on "Posted values" tab shows something different to zero on month 08 with "Planned" status.
Then, for the adjustment of the following months, the output of the program will show you the "Rev of CY Depn" value.
If you want, let me know your email to show you a presentation (PowerPoint in spanish) that has screens that I captured on that occasion that happened to me.
I hope this is your case and can help you that I said.
Good Look!
PD: Sorry for my bad english :S

Asset settlement issue from Project System

Hello everyone,
In SAP, we have tied Project System and Fixed Asset in the sense that for each network/activity in PS we create and link an asset in Asset Accounting. In the Purchase Order, the network/activity number is assigned and all the transactions that occur through this PO (including down payment, its clearing, GR/IR) are then settled on the specified asset when we execute settlement run at month end through CJ88.
However, we have encountered scenarios where an asset was not timely allocated to the network/activity but the transactions were carried out through the PO. When the settlement run was executed, its impact was not visible in Asset Accounting. Later, it was realized and the asset was created and assigned. Once the asset was assigned, all the subsequent transactions through the PO were then being settled successfully. But the problem is with those transactions for which the asset number was initially not assigned.
Is there any program that can be executed to include the impact of the previous transactions. Otherwise, suggest alternatives.
Thanks

Hi Thanks for your reply, But that is not relevent to this issue.
The issue here is -
First 2 documents has value date of 4th period and the amount is 8800
Next document has value date of 5th period and the amount is 1200
Now i am trying to settle 10000(8800+1200) with 5th period date. Its givign an error Settlement amount is greater than Available amount
Will it solve if i settle 4th period with 8800 first and then 1200 with 5t period? or any other process?
Thanks

Asset Capitalisation issue

Hi,
We have created a regular asset in the system, which was bought some times ago and later realized that asset was not used in operation but it was already capitalized and depreciation charged for four months. Now the factory accountant wants to reverse the depreciation charged for this asset and convert this asset to a AUC status as this asset still laying in warehouse without using to operation.(GR is carried out, PO raised and payments has been made )
What can be done from the system to correct this issue? Is there any way that we can covert a regular asset back to an AUC and stop charging depreciation for following months?
R,
Gayani

What type of inconsistency do you think will be there? Its my understanding that when you post the entry as said by me, the system would automatically adjust the balance in both Asset accounting and GL accounts. I think you are aware of this, but still....while posting an entry to Asset module subledger accounts, please use posting key 70 for debit and 75 for credit, Transaction type 100 for Debit and 101 for credit.
If you have access to AB08, then try using this Tcode and reverse the entry from the Asset account.
Either of this should be able to resolve your issue.

Vinod

MR11 Asset Clearing Issue

I am getting an issue when i am running MR11 for Asset Clearing
System issuing the following message:
Balance for transaction type group 10 negative for the area 01
Message no. AA629
Asset affected: 000091000008-0000
Diagnosis
With the transaction entered, the balance for the transactions in group 10 in area 01 will be negative in this fiscal year. However, the balance of transaction type group 10, according to its definition, must be positive in each fiscal year.
System Response
The system rejects this posting.
Procedure
Check the transaction type, the amount and the fiscal year in your posting. If you want to post a credit memo to an acquisition from the previous year, then use a transaction type for a retirement. If necessary, you can change balance rules after talking with your SAP consultant.

Hi,
Check asset master data in the depreciation area tab ''Negative postings allowed'' should be ticked or not.. We should tick this option for credit memos postings for an asset.
Thanks and Regards,
Padmaja

IO Wrong asset settlement Issue

Hi
We settlement rule for internal order 2500007 was erroneously set to settle costs to asset 11 (company 123). That asset is already part of a different internal order.
Costs from internal order ***0007 were settled to that asset in prior periods(from Jan 2104) and depreciation has begun. This is incorrect since the asset should not be related to that internal order.
We would like to reverse the amounts settled to that asset from IO ***0007 and settle them to a different asset instead.
This should result in a reversal of the depreciation booked to this asset from the costs settled from IO ***0007.
Do suggest how to achieve this.
Thanks & Regards,
D Dixon.

Hi,
You have two issue, one is wrong settlement to asset, and wrong amount of deprecation is posted.
First of all you need to reverse the depreciation, to reverse the depreciation, just change the depreciation key to 0000 in asset master AS02, and repeat the depreciation run to reverse the depreciation for this assets. once you verified that depreaction is reversed for this asset, just go AS02 and again change the dep. key to original one.
Second step is to reverse the Settlement, you can reverse the settlement from the same t.code from where you have settled the order, lets say KO88, just go to settlement menu and Click on "Reverse"
After settlement reversal, create the correct settlement rule, and post the settlement, then again run the the depreciation AFAB in repeat mode, to post the correct deprecation.
I hope this will help you.

AIAB issue (asset settlement issue)

Dear Sapguru,
On dev system, we are facing an issue for tcode AIAB. In our current process we park & post document through MIR7 & MIR6 respectively. While posting the document we post to CWIP asset & later on transfer from CWIP to actual asset.
But from January 2012, CWIP asset master shows document posted but while transfering from CWIP to main asset through t code AIAB line items are not display. but in QA the same is working fine.
Kindly help us to resolving issue.
Thanks & regards,
Pramod Chavhan

Varsha,
When did you settle the Values from IO to AUC?
If this was done in 2011, just look after year closing and opening new.
If it is in 2012, go to AR01, AR02 and AR03 and check if the values are appearing for AUC
Let us know the results
Thanks

DAM Asset Editor Issue

Hi All,
I am facing one issue regarding the asset editor in cq 5.5 sp2.
When I open image by browsing through the folders in DAM every thing works fine. It shows all the data below the image and image type , Publish to Scene7 link as well.
When I open the same image by searching it wont show image type and publish to scene7 link.
Problem here is for the same image it shows different views when we open it in different ways. Internally if the image type is not coming then it will take default asset editor(instead of jpeg asset editor) because of this some of the metadata changes (custom metadta cahnges which we need) in the center page are not showing up when we open the image by searching.
Thanks,
Maruthi

I've been struggling with this same issue on the same platform (5.5 sp2). Here is what I know so far:
When you are browsing the DAM tree under the Digital Assets tab and open a jpg, then the asset editor retrieves a list of image-specific fields from /apps/dam/content/asseteditors/image/jpeg/formitems .
When you use the DAM Search tab to find the jpg, then the asset editor retrieves the list of generic fields from /apps/dam/content/asseteditors/formitems .
This issue also affects PDFs. The Digital Assets tab will use the pdf-specifc fields from /apps/dam/content/asseteditors/application/pdf/formitems but the Search tab will use the generic fields from /apps/dam/content/asseteditors/formitems .
In other words, the DAM Search widget isn't loading the desired fields into the asset editor. You can force the asset editor to load the correct fields by refreshing your entire browser. I may try to patch this by overlaying the DAM Search widget if I can find it.

Retired Asset Depreciation Issue

Hi
Good day to you.
We have a peculiar issue.
One of our Company Codes retired an asset with Asset Value date of 31.12.2007. But apparently they did not repeat the Depreciation run for December 2007.
When we try to do the Fiscal Year change to 2009, SAP is not allowing to do so as 2007 is not yet closed because of this unposted Depreciation.
But the problem is we cannot post this unposted Depreciation to 2007 as the Accounts have already been audited by one of the Big 4. Since the amount involved is small (approximately USD 18.63), it would be ideal if we can post this amount to 2008.
I would be very grateful if a way out is suggested. Points will be awarded for to-the-point suggestions.
Regards
Siddique

well i am not sure if this could be possible but as a general view point , if its possible try to reverse the retirement document and see if the depreciation could be run in 2007 dec itself.

Jerky Playback & asset replacement issue

Hi,
Just downloaded the trial version in order to see if it corrects some things I needed on 1.5
So appart from the better responce and added features wich are great I have 2 problems (so far!).
Problem No1 is that the playback of the mpeg (*.m2v) file on the timeline and DVD Preview is very jerky and unstable. I used the same assets in 1.5 and playback is fine there.
Problem No2 and major for me is that when I replace assets in a previously created project the asset length doesn't adjust automaticaly. That is not a problem if the asset beeing replaced was longer since I can drag the end of the replacement asset on the timeline, and it snaps to the right length. But when the asset beeing replaced is shorter than the new asset there is no way I can drag the end of it to he new duration. Only way is to delete the m2v from the timeline and re-enter it, but that deletes all chapters and links to allready created menus with it. Is there anything I can do about that? I use asset replacement every day and this is a major drawback for me. I will have to stick to 1.5 for the time beeing...
Anyhow thanks for a great piece of software wich I was much expecting and sure to buy soon.
Cheers
Christos

Christos.
For the asset replacement options that are not working as you expect, try this:
PROBLEM:
When replacing an asset in a timeline that is longer than the original, it is not always possible to extend the duration of the new clip by dragging it.
METHOD:
1. Create a new project.
2. Import an .m2v file and it's corresponding .wav file.
3. Make a timeline with these assets.
4. Click the .m2v or .wav asset in the project window, press Ctrl-H, and replace it with an .m2v file that is LONGER than the original. After importing notice in the timeline that the new length is the same as the old one.
5. Drag the tail of the replaced clip to extend its duration.
RESULT:
When you drag the tail of the .m2v or .wav file to extend the duration, the clip 'flickers." If you release the mouse when the clip "flickers" off or when the mouse is beyond the maximum duration of the clip, it reverts to the original duration. The same behaviour is exhibited when trimming the clip.
Note: Although .avi files exhibit similar flickering, you can extend or trim the clips without issue.
EXPECTED:
The duration of the clip should always be extended or trimmed to the point where the mouse is when the button is released. If the mouse is beyond the maximum duration of the clip, the duration should be extended to its maximum (like PPro).
WORKAROUND:
1. Position the CTI at the desired out point.
2. Drag the tail of the .m2v or .wav file as close to the CTI as possible while it still "flickers" on.
3. Zoom in on the tail of the clip and repeat step 2 until the clip reaches the desired duration.

Asset accounting issue

Hi,
Customer has created: as91 and capitalization date is: 01.11.2010, use ful life is 5 Years, acuistion value is 100000 and accumulated depreciation is 20000 and net book values.
as per my anaysis for this asset has been maintained use ful life: 5 years, So that system will calculate depreiciation up to 5 Years based on the asset balances in will shows comparisons tab.
In the month of december only customer has posted one document with 80000 manually to clear the values, eventhough system it will shows as balance is 20000. and once i posted documnt also it will shows for every year 20000.

Hi Sangeetha,

Asset depreciation issue after Credit memo posted to asset.

Hi,
We bought asset on 2010 Dec with price 100,000 SGD last year. The asset, monthly depreciation = 833.33 SGD with 20 year useful life.
This month, we received an CN to minus 20,000SGD for some reason.
Hence I do credit asset with transaction type 160, post 20,000SGD to this month.
Seem like now system are getting current NBV to calculate the depreciation for remaining useful life. It is not they want.
Business assume to get positive depreciation this month to re-adjust back the 20,000SGD depreciation to this month.
How to get month depreciation value 666.66 SGD after this asset? Hope you can suggest me.

Recheck your Multi Level Method in AFAMS. You should use the base value 24.
Have to ticked "remaining useful life"
Also, check your OAYR settings? Did you select "Smoothing"

Asset account issues

Hi Guru's
Situation is like this:
Project System captures the cost through WBS. This cost is then transferred to AUCs. Based on the settlement profile this cost will settle to final asset. When the cost is settled following problems are occurring:
Depreciation is wrongly calculated for few assets.
Accumulated depreciation is not right.
Tax DDA calculations are wrong.
Dep key for a particular sub-asset is different.(should be same as main asset)
Useful life gets changed as well for few assets.
asset reclassification: from tangibles to intangibles and vice versa
-ve APC results, further depreciating the value more -ve
Depreciation represented as -ve ex: (10) is seen positive for few assets ex: 10.
This problem is for dep area 10(tax depreciation).
What should be the drilldown approach as to verify that these are the real problem in fact?
What figures should be studied in detail.
Is there a way a report or InfoCube can be made so that minutest detail can be obtained?
In a sense that all above problems are easy to locate in report/InfoCube.
If tax adjustments are made to some assets how to find those changes through asset History sheet/report.
What other areas can be looked for possible problems apart from the above listed one.
Odaiah

1) Check whether the Asset capitalization date and the Ord. Depn start date in the Final aset is what it should be. Otherwise, look into the config.
2) Looks like some substitutions are kicking in and changing the keys of the sub-asset, life. Look into the substitution rules.
Thanks
