Hi
Please chek the following
1.Check the field status for the GL account that u have assigned to ur Asset
2.Check the screen layout you have defined for the assets in both places business area should be eighter optional or required field
Inconsistancy occurs when you specify it is optional in step no.1 and required in step2
thenl you have to change eighter in step 1. as required or in step 2 as optional

Transfer of a Asset from one Business Area to Another Business area

Hi Gurus,
I am working for a Indian client in ECC6.
presently we are using "ABUMN" TCODE to transfer asset from one business area to another business area. But, in this process we have to create a new asset or transfer to a existing asset with new business area. So, we are retiring the Old asset transferred and the total value and accm. dep is transferred to the new asset.
Now, my client doesnot want to create a new asset, he wants the old asset no. to be retained and keep track of the transfers from one business area to another.
In Time Dependent intervals, i am unable to change Business are. it is only allowing to keep track of changes in Cost centre. Likewise i want for Business area.
Can anybody help?
regards
Jaya

Hi Jaya,
we need to maintain the screen layout rules for the asset master data for the above issue.
Path: SPRO, Financial Accounting, Asset Accounting, Master Data, Screen Layout, Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data.
Double click Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data.
Select your screen layout and double click "Logical field group" folder.
Then double click on "3 Time dependent data" and double click "Field group rules".
Here maintain the rule for business area exactly as it looks like for cost center.
Hope this helps you....

Trnasfer of Asset frm one Business Area to Another in same Company code

Hi Experts
In my Asset Accounting Business Area is mandatory field and when I transfer asset from one business area to another business area system change the asset number from old to new number, the problem is that suppose asset A with useful life of 10 years already utilized three years in business area 1010 and after three years when I transfer this asset to another business area 1020 system again calculate 10 years in new asset which is wrong it should be seven years because 3 years already used in previous business area, please help me that how to resolve this issue.

Hi
If you are transferring to a new asset - You can maintain the useful life in the new asset master as 7 yrs
Else, do the settings in IMG > AA > Transactions > Transfers > Inter CO Asset Trf > Define Trf variants.... Here, you can try to configure which fields must be taken over during transfers... This is usually used for Cross Comp Trf.. however, try to use in your case and see if it works

Asset master Error in LSMW

Hi All,
I am uploading assets for a new company purchased by us in company code 2222, which uploading the data by using lsmw we are getting the following error message. We checked in customization that there is a date mentioned in legacy transfer date as 31.03.2006
Let me know if we change this to 31.03.2010 as the new company will be purchased in April 2010, will this have any issue ??
The error msg is as follows
Closed fiscal year does not agree with legacy data transfer date
Message no. AC199
Diagnosis
The closed fiscal year 2008 does not agree with transfer date 31.03.2006.
If you wish to carry out a transfer within the fiscal year, the date of the legacy data transfer has to be in the year following the closed fiscal year.
Example: Transfer date July 1, 1993; closed fiscal year 1992
In any other cases the transfer date has to be the last day of the last closed fiscal year.
Example: Transfer date December 31, 1993; closed fiscal year 1993

Hi,
As i told earlier, there is no harm by changing legacy asset transfer date.
Since this date determines, when you are uploading legacy assets.
In a simple words, it means a cut off date, which is taken to upload legacy assets. (As on date)
You need to maintain both APC Value, and Accum dep in your AS91 under takeover values tab. (Values must be closing balance of 31.03.2010)
Thanks,

Business area default in asset master record

Dear all
Here is one ticket pertains to asset
when i create asset master record business area will be defaulted
the problem is when i upload asset master record through LSMW
by different business area the system throws a error message BUSINESS AREA EXISTS WHICH CANT BE REPLACED THROUGH LSMW
This is happening for all the asset classes
so i want to remove that default business area from where should i remove that which t-code or menu path
regards ravindra kumar

Dear ravinagh
removing of business area in asset master record is always possible but
see when u r uploading bulk asset master records through LSMW we cant replace the business area as it is already defaulted in asset master record
means some where we have assigned the default values to the asset classes or some other master record
so we have to find out the source of the defualt business area for asset master record
when we remove this from the asset classes then the business area will not be defaulted so that we can upload assets from LSMW with different business area
so please try to find out the source....................

Chaning business area in asset master

Hi gurus,
Can we change business area in asset master? is there any customizing or transaction?

Hi,
If you want to use the "Specify Time-Independent Management of Organiz. Units, in asset accounting under Master Data tab, please read the following SAP Notes:
SAP Note 193233 - Changing organizational unit in asset master record
SAP Note 162247 - Error AU133 or additional line item with transfer
SAP Note 210278 - RW022 when changing organizational units
Furthermore:
Purpose:
If we want to use Time-independent management of organization units, the system manages the rganizational units 'business area' and 'cost center' (and thereby 'profit center') as not time dependent in the asset master records in this company code.
Advantages:
Any change to these organizational units during master data maintenance then automatically generates a transfer posting document.
Disadvantages:
If the indicator is not set, you have to create a new asset master record (only in case of business area change), and manually transfer the entire asset, when the business area changes.
Points to be considered:
1. This method will not change the asset number. However, it will not keep track of the transfers.
2. If you set this indicator, and then change these organizational units in asset master data maintenance, the system replaces the business area and cost center (and profit center) in all existing time intervals by the new assignments.
3. After that, it is no longer possible to report on these organizational units for past time periods in Asset Accounting! This applies even if you later remove the indicator!
4. In short we will lost track of any type of past reporting on business area/Cost center.
Recommendation:
You should only change the standard setting when ALL of the following apply:
1. You do not need a history of the time-dependent assignments of an asset to a business area or cost center.
2. You create business area or profit center balance sheets.
3. You expect to make frequent changes to the assignments to business areas or cost centers.
Thanks

Error in ME51N - Account object functional area differs in asset master

We are in the middle of going thru an upgrade -
Funds & Functional Area were display fields in the old system but it was recetly changed to required fields in the Asset Master Record (AS01). Now when I try to create a Purchase Requisition for procuring the asset, I get this error - Account object functional area differs from that in asset master record. Any suggestions?

hi
please check the Asset Master for functional area.

Asset master business area change

I upload legacy assets using one business area now my user want to change the business area. I checked in asset master it is in display mode only. what i can do? with out creating any new asset and transfer the values.is there any way to update the business area in asset master.

there is a mass change option in the environment tab, you could have a look at that.
Have you looked at the config, to see which fields can be changed?
Also, I think you can change time dependant fields, which I presume business area would be part of.
What happens when you view the asset in AS02?

Business Area in Asset master

Hi,
I would like to change Business areas in some of the Asset masters, for that I have set the indicator " Time dependent management of Organizational units", when i change it in Asset master, the bus.area is changing from the beginning and an automatic transfer posting document is getting generated. but I would like to add a new interval and the change should effect from today, Is it possible? Kindly help....
Thanks,
Khan

Hi Khan,
When you select more interval in the "Time dependent" tab you will find "more interval" button in it. Once you press this button you will find another screen with two button "choose interval" and "add interval". When you press "add interval" system pop up with "create new interval" in where you need to fill from date of new interval. So this date will take care that the change will be effected from teh date entered in "from date of new interval".
Thanks,
Prashant

Asset transfer from One Business Area to another Business Area

I am going to transfer my Asset from One Business area to another business area. So, I allready created a new asset and transfer through TCODE-ABUMN. But system gives me this error
Posting with trans.type 320 not possible (No acquisition posted)
Message no. AA324
Diagnosis
Transaction type 320 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 transaction type group, which can be used for the first acquisition to an asset.
can any one please tell me how I transfer my Asset from one business area to another Business area?

Hi
First make sure in your company code global setting in the OBY6 for company code wise ..Iin this screen Indicator: Business area financial statements required if it is ticket
Please don't change business area for old asset . because it will effect the Business area balance sheet. So create new asset and change business area at cost center level
Finally transfer the balance from old asset to new assets in the ABUMN
OR
IF you want solution as per your issue ..Go to SPRO-> Financial Accounting-> Asset Accounting->Transactions-> Specify Default Transaction Types
Here enter Default Transaction Types 300 Transfer of retir. old assets data from cap.asset
in the filed of Transfer Between Areas
I hope it will helps you

Link between Business area and Material master

Hi guys
Is there a link between Busines area and material master, i am getting an error when I am trying to Move part of material stock from unrestricted stock to Project stock by 411/Q.
Error
Business area xx changed to yy
Ideas?
sam

Hi
Yes Business area has a link with MMR
Business area determination is through by three rules
1. Plant and item division
2. Sales area( sales orgdistribution channeldivision )
3. Sales org, distribution channel and item division
Here item division means the division in MMR that is basic data 1 tab and sales org 1 tab
This division field forms the main link between Business area and MMR

Business Area-Cost Center error while doing VL09 (PGI Reversal)

Hi Friends,
Kindly go through the "ERROR" message and "IMPORTANT" point as mentioned below:This is happening while reversal of PGI in VL09.
IMPORTANT: Just to make you aware, the cost center in error (CONSDSPL) was nowhere assigned in FS00 or OKB9. Also to state that at the time of this error some different cost center was assigned in FS00 which was having business area SUGR. So PGIs are picking up two business areas i.e. 1.DSPL (from Plant-Division-BussA setting) & 2. SUGR (for P&L GL from FS00)
Following error coming while doing PGI reversal:
ERROR -
> BAL1/CONSDSPL CTR belong to business area DSPL not SUGR
Message no. KI188
Diagnosis
Account assignment object BAL1/CONSDSPL, type CTR is assigned to business area DSPL. You made an explicit assignment to business area SUGR.
System Response
The posting row may contain only one business area.
Procedure
Perform one of the following actions.
Make an explicit assignment to business area DSPL. To do so you must set the "Business area" field as entry-ready in Customizing.
Enter an account assignment object assigned to business area SUGR.
Change the assignment of BAL1/CONSDSPL to business area DSPL. Note the document number and continue processing the document after changing the assignment.
PLEASE GUIDE. NEEDED ANSWER BADLY.

Business area filed in cost center CONSDSPL is DSPL (what it should be). In this scenario, they have assigned SGPRODCTN cost center in GL master wherein business area is SUGR.
That means, when accounting entry is getting generated, it will show two business areas. One will be fetched from "Plant-Division-BussA" setting (SPRO) & the other from GL. Also to make you aware that here the business area should be DSPL, but since they assigned wrong cost center in GL master, the entries are going to SUGR as well.
Most important thing to notice out here is that when this error came "no default account assignment was done through OKB9" The cost center showing in error viz. CONSDSPL was nowhere assigned. So the question is from where the system is fetching this cost center?

Cost centre without business area

Hi All,
I have document splitting with business area and profit centre mandatory, along with this i have configured business area wise FSV in OBY6.
We have configured 10 business areas and 5 profit centres, but i have created cost centres without business area and i dontwant to create cost centres with business area becoz junk master data in system and no control to users. also i have done configuration in OKB9 for automatic posting expences account with the combination of valuation area-business area- & cost centre, but when we are posting any financial document though MM or SD transactions like PGI or MIGO for service, system is not allowing to post financial document without business area cost centres. Error "Business Area XXXX / Cost centre XXXX is not assigned".
After all analysis i came to know that, if we have cost centre with business area then only we can move with this set of configuration. Is it right?
In No. what need to be done. basically we dont want to create cost centres for all Business Area
Thanks in Advance,
Sahil

Hi,
If you are not ready to maintain BA in CC master you should write Substitution / you should maintain derivation rule for deriving business area.
