Asset Class Transfers

Hiya,
We are currently going through a major change in our asset classes, therefore I need to transfer a number of existing assets from one asset class to another. Please can someone let me know how I would do this from start to finish??
Thanks-

This you do with the transaction:
ABUMN - Transfer within Company Code
When you search on this forum with ABUMN you will found how this is working and the possible problems.
Perhaps you have to make some additonal cistomizing settings (like copy rules), in the part Intercompany Asset Transfers
When there are some assets you can do it manual, otherwise you can create an Simple LSMW for it.

Transfer assets from one asset class to another having different depreciation keys.

Hi Gurus,
     I am a noob in FICO, and I am facing a problem while transferring assets from one asset class to another.
Below is the scenario.
I created two assets 100000000000-0 under asset class 4690a and 200000000000-0 under asset class 4690b. And I am trying to transfer the
asset from class 4690b to 4690a by selecting the option ‘New Asset’ in the transaction ABUMN. While doing this, I am receiving an error message as below.
'Posting with trans. type 300 not possible (No acquisition posted).'
     Message No. AA324.
Diagnosis:
     Transaction type 300 belongs to a transaction type group, which can only be used to post to assets to which posting has already been performed. However, no postings have been made to this asset.
Procedure:
     Use a transaction type from a transactio type group, which can be used for the first acquisition to an asset.
The error is related to the transaction type which I hadn’t explicitly created anywhere. But, when checked in transaction AO76, the transaction type 300 belongs to the transaction type group 30. In this group I am not able to find any solution related to the error.
Moreover, in some of the threads in SCN, I read that modifying the transaction type group might lead to something fatal.
Kindly help me in the below.
1. What exactly the error message is related with?
2. Is there any other method to transfer the asset to another class?
Please let me know if any further details are required regarding the scenario.

Hi ,
I understand that you want to transfer the old asset to new asset with different asset class with different depreciation keys and the old asset is not yet capitalized and does not have any Asset Values.
Assuming that since the First Asset is not yet capitalized, that seems to be that its just that ASset Master is created and no Asset Values appear in the Asset.(in other words no acquisition, capitalization, no dep. start etc.)..
Alternatively this asset can be advised to be blocked and flagged for deletion and create a new Asset in the new Asset Class and then capitalize the new asset by doing the acquisition according to the business process i.e. either via PO based process(GR) or Non PO based process.
The transfer of asset is required incase the old asset still have the values and you are transferring the old asset to new one with the left over values.
Also would request you to kindly share some screenshots of the AW01n of the old asset and screenshots of the AS03 to have more idea on it and provide a better solution to the same..
Warm Regards,
Vineet

Transfer of existing assets to new asset class

Hello Experts,
We are working in a one-year old implementation of SAP ECC 6.0. A need has raised which is forcing us to transfer an asset with some Depreciation areas (we are currently working with ten areas between Real Depreciation Areas and Derived Depreciation Areas) to a new asset belonging to a new asset class with fewer areas.
We created the new Asset Class and tested in the quality environment using transaction ABUMN. An example was transferring an asset with two months of depreciation already posted and transferring this one to the new asset at the beginning of the next month.
The main issue is that we desire that the original asset keeps posting depreciation for the areas that are not transferred. Unfortunately, in our tests in the quality environment we have not accomplished this, what the system does is transfer the values to the new asset and then when you run transaction AFAB the new asset does post depreciation in the fewer areas that the Asset Class it is assigned to has but the original asset does not post any depreciation in any area.
We tried maintaining the Transaction Types for Transfers that were used by the system by deselecting the 'Deactivate fixed asset' but it did not work and then we tried creating our own Transaction Types but this also was of no use.
Hope you can shed some light into the issue!

Dear Sankar,
Thanks for such a quick reply. I have already considered that (SAP forcing you to transfer the whole asset) as a possibility. Unfortunately, as I have already mentioned here at our implementation we need something like this to happen.
Let me elaborate. For the fiscal Depreciation Areas we are required to keep the original information on the asset so that the depreciation that is calculated does not change but conversely for the other areas we desire to change the depreciation that is calculated and posted (for example, some assets will suffer a change in the useful life others might merge into one big asset, etc.) but what we definitely need is to keep the original information in the fiscal areas so we can keep reporting that and therefore can keep paying the correct amount to our local tax authorities.
As I mentioned before I have already considered that as an option. So what we thought was duplicating the assets (through a mass charge of all our assets with the current values), then transferring the 'clones' to assets with fewer Depreciation Areas (we will eliminate the Fiscal Areas since this new assets will be only useful for the non-fiscal depreciation calculation which is the one that will change).
To sum up: the clones will not generate depreciation because when transferred they will be worthless. The assets they were transferred to will generate the non fiscal depreciation.
And finally on the original assets we will deactivate the non-fiscal Depreciation Areas so that these assets continue to calculate the fiscal depreciation.
I would really appreciate your opinion on this strategy or if you think it is a bad or incorrect strategy I would appreciate even more an advise on this matter.
PS. a little doubt now also strikes me: what is the "Deactivate Fixed Asset" in the Transaction Type definition for?

Asset Class change.

Hi experts,
My client want to change asset class of existing asset? Please explain me the procedure?
i.e : my client is having asset class '1000' and all assets are created by using this asset class. Now they want to create new asset class say '2000' and change some existing assets from '1000' asset calss to '2000' asset class. Please suggest me now can it be possible?
Regards,
Sam.

Hi Samiuk,
It is unfortunate that SAP does not allow changing asset class directly in asset master and only by asset transfer (ABUMN) for this purpose. Although new fixed asset number will be assigned following the asset transfer to new asset class, the original asset number will also be transferred automatically and can be found under 'Origin' tab in the respective asset master.
Report 'S_ALR_87012058 - List of Origins of Asset Debits' can be used to display the relationship between the new fixed asset number and the original asset number.
Hope the above helps.
Cheers,
John Chin

Asset class summary management auc

Dear Forum,
May I know what is the meaning of summary management auc under status of auc in asset class OAOA.
Hope to have advice as I read from F1 but yet not clear.
Thanks

Hi,
F1-Help:
The summary management of the asset under construction has the following affects:
o Only complete transfers or simple partial transfers are possible (in other words, you can only transfer either prior-year
acquisitions or current-year acquisitions in one given posting transaction).
o You can only transfer to one target asset per posting transaction. You have to enter the amount of the transfer manually.
o There is no connection to the original asset under construction in the capitalized asset. Therefore, there is no exact proof of
origin for the original postings.

AUC asset class

Hello Gurus,
Can anybody help me Below Issues,
1. what is the different between normal asset and AUC
2..without any integration with SD MM and CO can i do AUC asset class
Regards
Sri

Hi
1.AUC (Asset Under Constructioin) assets are the assets which are in Progress state, so they are not in actual used. There will be no depreciation will be charged for these assets. Dep key 0000 is used for these assets so no depreciation will be calculated. Once these asssets are completed they are transfered to Normal Fixed Asset. According to these Normal Fixed Asset dep key setting they are depreciated.
2. You can have AUC asset without any integration with SD MM but need CO module. Normally WBS element are settled on AUC assets or from Investment Management cost pulled in AUC.

Some asset classes do not show up for a user in S_ALR_87011990

Hi
When the asset history sheet is run in S_ALR_87011990, a user is unable to display some asset classes in the report. This was referred to security team. They say that everything looks fine and nothing appears wrong for that user--roles and profiles ok etc.,. No worklists are being used and no variants are being used. No dynamic selections either.
Can someone let me know why the user is unable to display some asset classes. Asset classes that the user is unable to display were created last year. Most users are able to display these asset classes in the report except this user.
Please help and provide some exact solution.
Best wishes
Rajmohan..

Hi Rajmohan,
most probably it is a authorization problem.
Please compare the assets which are not shown with this user. It could be a cost center.

Report of posted Deprecation with ASSET CLASS

Hi Gurus,
We require a depreciation simuation report with Asset class as mandatory one.
Could you please tell me path and t-code for the above said report.
Regards,
Praveen.

Hi Praveen,
You mentined before you wanted to view depreciation simulation, for this RASIMU02 is the report to use.
However, if you want to see depreciation planned /and or posted you can use the Asset Balance RABEST_ALV01. If you click on the indicator "current book value" you will see the actually posted depreciation and current Netbook Value. Also in this report you can enter the Asset Class in the selection parameters.
Regarding viewing the note I forwarded to you previously: you can view it via the SAP Portal - http://help.sap.com/. If you go to SAP ERP tab, you will see on the right hand side pannel a link to SAP Notes. Here you can view any note.
I hope this helps further.
Kind regards,
Brigitte

Calculation of depreciation and interest for a particular asset class

Hi,
I have a problem with the calculation of depreciation and interest for a particular asset class. The assets are financial leases. The depreciation key defined is LEAS. The following are the attributes of this key:
Dep/int             phase     base met dec-bal prd cont mult lvl chn ov
Ord.depreciation     1     0011     001     006     001        5
Ord.depreciation     2     0002     001     003     003
Interest             1     0028     001     003     010
An example of an asset is:
Aquisition value: 1041552.71 (as migrated on 01.04.2007)
Ordinary dep already posted: 56243.88
Net book value: 985308.83
Scrap Value:729086.90
Useful life: 50 years
Expired useful life: 9 years 1 month
Remaining useful life: 40 years 11 months.
Depreciation start date: 28.03.1998
Interest calculation start date:30.03.1997
Depreciation calculated by the system:6261.83
Interest calculated in the year:15682.68
I'm not able to undersatnd on what basis the system calculated the interest. I will be thankful if anyone can help me resolve this. An early reply will be greatly appreciated as I'm facing major problems due to this issue.

Hi Mahesh,
As per my analysis of the case the interest rates are as under
Acq. Year                                                    Int.Percent
9999     4          01     10.%
9999     7          01     5.%
9999     25          01     2.5%
9999     999     12     01     2.5%
As per this the Acquisition value less the Scrap Value Rs.312,465.00 @ 2.5% p.a will be Rs. 7811.64.
Based on the above you analyse for which period interest is calculated.
Hope it will help.

Vijay

Link-Group Asset Class, Depreciation Area & Depreciation Key

Dear Experts,
I am new to FI-AA Customization & have a basic query about Group Asset Concept.
I am working on Ecc 6.0 & for Country India.
I want to create Group Asset for calculation of Depreciation as per Income Tax Act. Hence there is just one Depreciation Area (for Group Assets) , but the Depreciation keys are different. E.d IN1, IN2 etc. (Country Version India)
Now the questions are :
1) Do we need to create different Asset Class for different Group Assets or to create just 1 Asset Class for all Group Assets.
E.g. I want to calculate Depreciation As per income Tax Act on Gross Block of Building, Furniture & Fixture, Motor Car, Vehicles etc. So I need to create separate Group Asset Class for each one of above or just to create one Group Asset Class.
2) If we need to create just one Asset Class for all Group Assets; how to maintain a Depreciation Key in OAYZ as there are more than 1 Depreciation Keys?
3) is there any other method / functionality to calculate Depreciation as per income Tax Act or Group Asset is the only functionality?
Thanks & Regards,
Reshma

Dear,
Reshma.
Looking at your Questions let us take explanation for Group Assets :-
1 ) We need to create new different asset class for Group Class in OAOA. Then permit the depreciation area for only Group Asset in OAYM as it is in your current scenario India is Depreciation Area 15 Just select your company code in OAYM and check the Grp Asset field for respective area 15. Then go to OAAX here we have to maintain the assets classes particularly for Group Assets. So check your Group Asset classes for Group Assets. Cerate different Group asset classes for your said requirement.
In these depreciation areas, it is then possible to make an assignment to a group asset. You make this assignment in the specifications for the depreciation area in the asset master record. When you post an acquisition to this kind of asset, the system duplicates the line items from this depreciation area on the given group asset.
2 ) According to me you have to create different depreciation keys for Group Asset classes. Assign the Depreciation keys to your newly created Group Asset Classes in OAYZ and make sure you are deactivating 01 area which is Book Depreciation area.
3 ) As far as I know this is the only functionality available to handle Group Assets. How ever SAP does not have any standard Group Assets functionality. SAP does not supply asset classes to be used solely for group assets. It is we have to determine as per varying Business Process.
I hope this will clear your doubt makes you to understand. Please revert back for further clarification. Welcome you.
Regards,
Pankaj A Bhalerao.

Different GL Account for WRX for Separate Asset Class

Hi Gurus
We are on 4.7 in a Production environment. We have the following scenario:
We have created a new asset class called as LA. For procurement of asset from this asset class, we want to maintain a different GL in the WRX (GR/IR) account key in OBYC. All the other assets should use the default WRX GL account except the new asset class LA.
Pls advise on how to achieve this.
Regards

Hi
Asset postings will not be based on valuation class/ class. What ever is the default GL account assigned in WRX (without valuation class) postings will hit that account.
Thanks
