Asset Evaluation Group Link to Asset Class

Hi
I have a requirement of Linking Asset Evalaution Group with Asset Class.
For Exapmpe;
Assetc Class is                Vehicle
Evaluation group 1            Light, Heavy Medium
Evaluation Group2             Two, Four,
Etc.
At the time of Master creation, Under allocation Tab, i am getting all evaluation groups, I mean, in 1st Group i have more than 50 entries.
Now the requirement is to get the evaluation group based on the Asset class.
I do understand, evaluation group creation time,. we don't have option to link with Asset Class.
Also, there is an option to default Evaluation group for Classes.
But our requirement is to get filter based on Class, so that at the time of mater data creation, to avoid mistakes..
Can we meet this requirement ??
Thanks in advance
Shinas

Changing Evaluation Group Name for Asset

Hi All,
I am trying to change the below screenshot field name from Evaluation Group 2 to Contract Category for Asset Master?
Kindly advise.

Re: Asset Master field name change
Ravi Sankar Venna Nov 8, 2011 2:59 PM (in response to John Peter)
You can only change the names of evaluation groups
IMG ==> Financial Accounting ==> Asset Accounting ==> Master Data ==> User Fields ==> Change Key Words in the Evaluation Groups
You can use customer enhancement AIST0002 in order populate user fields in asset master.

Asset evaluation groups

I have created the 4-character evaluation group and 8-character evaluation group in OAVA AND OAV8.
But where to give the Table fields for these group which are to be get select in the Reporting?
and please confirm configuration in OAVA and OAV8 is enough to use them in Dynamic selection of the Reporting.
And can i use them in all the asset reporting Tcodes?

Hi,
Yes you can get eval groups in report output...
1. try creating a sort version OAVI with eval groups,
2. use this sort version on selection screen of your report, run the report
3. Change display variant on the report output to include the new fields (eval groups) and save this variant
4. use sort version and this variant to see eval groups on your report output.
Thanks,

Evaluation group issue

Dear Experts,
We have created new Evaluation group in t-code YIDFI_AA0001 (table maintainence) and also in SPRO path Fin Accounting>>Asset Acct>>Master Data>>>User fields>>>Define 4 character evaluatin groups.
My question here is, does the values maintained in Evaluation group are defaulted in the Asset Master (values like evaluatin group 2 and useful life)??
Because when we checked one asset, we did not see the new evaluation group and useful life.
Please explain if we need to manually select the evaluation group in the asset or should it get defaulted.
Thanks in advance
Leena...

Leena-
The values you maintain in customizing will not default in the master data. In the master data, you will have to select what you want. It works like this. Lets say you have maintained four evaluation groups.
Evaluation group 1: You maintain some entries for this field like state abbreviations (MO, IL, CA, AL, NO, FL)
Evaluation group 2: You maintain some entries for this field like some codes for type of buildings (FBUS - Factory building us, ABUS - Administration building US)
Evaluation group 3: entries like department codes (ADM - Admin, PRD - Production, etc)
Now when you create an asset master, you can choose from the entries you maintained in customizing for the respective evaluation group.
For example, i am planning to purchase an asset for my Missouri office, part of admin building and belongs to production dept.
So you choose
Evaluation 1: MO
Evaluation 2: ABUS
Evaluation 3: PRD
So, you will have to maintain them manually when creating master data.
Hope i have answered your question.

Evaluation Group

There is a tab for Evaluation Group in assets. LEt me know how it is useful for reporting. I went to SPRO in Asset Accounting --> Master Data --> User field. I am unable to know how to use groups. Let me know what is the use & how it needs to be configured.

Hello Dear
In addition to the predefined organizational structures in Asset Accounting, the evaluation groups and certain user fields allow you to classify assets using a feature in the master record.
Evaluation groups can be used to meet your own particular needs for classifying assets. Five evaluation groups are available in the system. They are not pre-defined or limited in regard to their possible uses. You can define evaluation groups in FI-AA Customizing. There is one 8 character and four 4 character evaluation groups in the system. You define their specific features and meanings (under: Master Data-> User Fields). The names of the evaluation groups can be alphanumeric.
Evaluation groups are user defined fields that you may use for information purposes or as match codes. For example we use a field as a drop box to input the cycle count# to identify the frequency of the physical verification. Another group is used to identify the dept. within the cost center where it is used.
There are five evaluation groups in the asset master record that you can use in parallel (four that have 4 characters, and one with 8 characters). Using the screen layout control, you specify whether the evaluation group is a required entry field during master data maintenance. In the Info system, you can define the evaluation group as
A selection criteria (under Dynamic selections in the report selection screen)
And as a sort criterion (see Sort Versions).
You can also change the key words for the evaluation groups in FI-AA Customizing. The system displays the changed key words in all screens, in reporting, and in the short texts for field help.
Hope it Helps
Cheers

Evaluation Groups for a Specific Asset class

Hi All,
After creating the new evaluation groups, is there any way out to link those eval goups with the specific asset class. Please let me know if anybody can give more inputs on this.
Thanks and regards,
S.Sumana

Hi Sumana,
Evalaution groups are defined at client level, but not asset class level.
For ex: If you have 4 asset classes. (A, B, C, and D)
There are 4 evaluation group fields are available, so activate Evl Grp field 1 for asset class A in screen layout for asset master data.
And Evl Grp field 2 for asset class B and so on...
While creating evlaution groups, there is a field called NO before evl grp key field. There if you mentain 1, then that evel grp will be available to use in EVl Grp 1 field only.
Ex: 1 ABC Test Evl grp
So you can use ABC evel grp in EVal GRp field 1 only
If you have more asset classes, then you have go with an validation rule in GGB0 in AA master data level.
Thanks,
Srinu

Evaluation Group - Asset Accounting

Dear All
While creatinig an Asset Master Record, in the Allocations Tab, there is EvaluationGroup1 ,
.........Evaluation Group 5 fields.
Can anyone explain me with an example.
Thanks and Regards
Kanwaljit

Hi,
Evaluation groups are majorly used for asset reporting purpose.
These are part of master record. So you can maintain master data information in this field to identify an asset in asset accounting module.
In our company we are using evaluation group field as sub asset class.
Ex: For Asset Class Computers Hardware.this asset class will cover so many things like desktop computers, laptop computers, servers, etc.
If you want a report for asset balances in this asset class, it will give total balance of the asset class. So in this case if you create one evaluation group for each item (desktops, laptops), you that you can get the balances for that particular item.
Create one sort variant with evaluation group field ORD41/ORD42/ORD43/ORD43/GDLGRP. (TCODE-S_ALR_87009120 - Define Sort Variants)
use this sort variant while u are running asset balances report (S_ALR_87011964 - Asset Balances by Asset Class)
so that you will get balances for each type of asset within one particular asset class. (Create output layout according to your requirement for asset balances report)
Anyway we are using this field as a category of asset under each asset class. according to your requirement you can use this field for other purpose to identify in asset accounting.
Keep me posted for further clarifications.
Thanks,
Srinu

Post new asset's evaluation group

I need to post another evaluation group for the company's assets, but AFAK, there are only 5 evaluation groups of assets that's displayed in asset's master data --> allocation tab. When I access the display assets transaction (AS03) it seems that the company only use/activate evaluation 1, 2, and 5. How can I activate the other evaluation group (3 & 4), and update their contents as a desired new evaluation group?
Thanks a lot..

Hi,
Use TRX OAVA to enter the contents. With TRX OACB you can change the text of the eval grps.
Kind regards

Can Evaluation Groups In Asset Master Be Set up As Time Dependent Field

I am just wondering whether evaluation groups can be set up as time dependent and if so, does anyone know how?

This is not possible.
The fields from the time dependend tab are stored in a different table with time interfal then the rest from the asset masterdata

Asset Evaluation.

Hi,
Your query is about Evaluation Groups in asset master?
Then these evaluation groups can be anything. It might be an classification of an asset or an sub asset class or a category of asset.
You define them in OAVA or OAV8.
Include them in your asset master. Since these evaluation group will be useful for reporting of various classifications within assets.

BAPI for updating Evaluation Group1 field in Asset Master

Hi,
The business requirement is to Update the Assets master fields with the current location of the Tools with respect to movement of the material only to be used for assets.
To keep a track for tools being moved to vendor location or internal company. To know the exact liabilities to the company in terms of Capitals being moved to the vendor or company location.
For this the movement type of the material will define weather the material is within the Campus or is with the Vendor & update the field Evaluation Group 1 (ANLA-ORD41)
Can you please help with which BAPI should be used for updating the evaluation group?
Thanks

I want to create an asset and add to existing asset class,

Hi
I am creating an asset builing, and adding to asset class, and when i am using the trans code: AS01 it showing an error , Customizing, inconsistency -Missing / incorrect and entry in the table TO93B i am not able to understand what has to be done.
and annother issue is
i am using transacion code: f-30 , there r two customer,the company is dealing with ie: oswal and some X company , in 2004 they made for eg: 10000 down payment, and they have raised invoice for 5000, and remaining 5000 its showing as due amt, as it has to show advance amt.
its showing an error, Consolidated companies TEIL and ' ' are different and its also describing that the affiliuted company must be clear for the selected document type, in this case atleast town different companies or a company in connection with a business partner who does not belong to a compnay are stated.
i am not able to undrstand the meaning of it

Hi,
i think you need to check the Depreciation area setting for the company code. I think that one of the setting is missing. Please check whether you have done the following :
Determinging the depreciation areas in the Asset class
Specifying Max amount for the LVA Assets
Hope this should solve your issue on the assets.
I could not understand the issue on the F-30. It would be better if we can have the exact issue description.

Group and Individual Assets Legacy data load

Hi, I work for a oil and gas company and I am having issues for the initial load for the group and individual assets into SAP .
Any help in regards to this would be helpful.
Below are the values that I would like to load into SAP for group ( grp 1 ) and individual assets ( Ind 1 and Ind 2 ) into SAP. We would like the depreciation to be carried on the group asset level and allocated on the NBV of individual assets ( which I think seems not possible but the standard allocates the depreciation only on acquisition value ) .
Asset              APC Value         Acc Depreciation      NBV
grp 1                20,000.00           10,000.00                 10,000.00
Ind 1               10,000.00            6,000.00                    4,000.00
Ind 2               10,000.00            4,000.00                    6,000.00
The problem is for intital load as well once the Ind 1 and Ind 2 are assigned to group asset grp 1 , it doesnt consider the acc depreciation at all , and the system allocations the accumulated depreciation based on apc values rather then NBV as of the load date.
Also, if I plan to load only the NBV of the group and individual assets only, the clients wants the APC values as well for reporting , so not where I can get those from if I only load the NBV.
Please let me know other approaches for initial load of group and individual assets that you guys might have worked on .
Thanks

hi,
Hope your requirement is to see the takeover values as on legacy asset takeover date, for those group assets mistakenly created with AS21...instead of AS81.
Am i right...........
Then you can do this by doing below.
1) Go to OAAQ, for your CC, the last closed FY should be same as the FY, which is actually used during legacy asset upload.
2) now go to AS82, for your wrongly created group assets and in takeover values tab, enter the values manually.
Note: Assets created by AS01/AS21 can changed with AS92/AS82, then you will have takeover values tab in addition to normal AS02/AS22 transactions.
once updation is finished, then again revert back the changes in OAAQ.
This will solve your issue.
Thanks,
Srinu

Manual posting to reconciliation account under asset account group

We need to maintain Asset Group (G007) to allow manual input in order to post a period end-closing adjustment as required by our external auditors. ( i.e in the reconciliation account under the asset account group, we need to check the 'allow manual input' option so as to do posting to this account manually).
Under normal circumstances, the posting should have been from WBS Element, to AUC, then to Fixed Assets. However, since all the procedures have been completed until Depreciation Run, we have no option but to input this manually.
Similar Recon accounts which allow manual inputs are Accounts Receivable (GL Code 115000) and Accounts Payable (GL 210000).
My intention is to have this captured in the system as of Dec. 31, 2008; Reversed the same transaction on 01-Jan-09 and process it normally as mentioned above.
Valuable assistance will be highly appreciated.
Best regards,

You can make manual postings on the asset reconciliation account with the transaction ABF1
Use PK 70 or 75 , G/L account and transaction type 100.
The result is that asset accounting is no longer in line with your G/L accounts.
Put this transaction in your authorization make the posting and reverse and take the transaction out off the authorization!
