Asset Number at sub numbers

Hello Gurus,
Our client requires asset at sub number level e.g. Asset Class Furniture & Fixtures.
Asset number starts with 1000 and if their are 2000 tables in an organisation, it would be done thru sub asset concept. So my table asset will be grouped under Asset Code 1000.0 and all the child asset at sub level will be like 1000.01, 1000.02, till 1000.2000. So they can get a unique number range for all asset.
First thing I would like to ask whether is advisable or not? Because, our client are having chairs in lakhs. So whether I can have asset number as 1001.100000 or not to group the chairs (1001). Will their be any system restriction for numbers?
Kindly suggest me in this matter.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
Asset sub number can have maximum of 4 digits. means it will be like 1000-9999 according to you.
But as far as business process is concern most of the companies will not create multiple asset masters/sub numbers for each and individual chair or table.
Since SAP does not have check for creating as many as main asset numbers, but only 9999 sub numbers can be created.
I would suggest you to create one asset (1000-0) and put the quantity of chairs in that asset master, means quantity 100000 and BUM is NOS, since chair itself is a low value asset. But some companies straight way depreciate them in full during the acquisition year only by creating as a LVA asset, which must have dep key as GWG. It is a standard SAP deliveried dep key for LVA assets.
This will be more easy and causes less database occupancy within AA module. And most important thing is while running depreci\ation runs also it will be quicker than if it have 100000 sub assets.
Hope you got my point.
Thanks,
Srinu

Split of asset value to sub numbers in AA

Hello
Situation is that the main asset number has to be split into more sub asset numbers, but I would like to 'remove' the acq values and acc depreciations from the main asset number and split it on the sub assets in Asset Accounting. How to do this?
Thanks in advance

Hmmm, even though I have tried this I don't succeed...
In customizing 'Define Transfer Variant', 'Maintain Transfer Variant' the settings are '2, *, 1, 300, 310'. Still I get the message about transaction type 152...
In ABUMN I enter:
Transaction data:
Asset number
Transfer to Asset number and subnumber
Additional details:
Transfer variant 4
Partial Transfer
Percentage rate 10

Re: Maintaining Asset with Sub-numbers

Hi Guys
I need some assistance in maintaining assets with sub-numbers. I tried creating one and posting to it, but I am getting some problems:
- the main asset # does not have any value, should this not be this a sum of the sub-assets?
- how do I get the sub-numbers to depreciate independently according to their acquisition dates? meaning that a sub-asset with 5 years life should depreciate for 5 years regardless of the gap between it's acquisition and that of other sub-numbers for the same asset.
- the reports to show asset by asset # shows the sub-numbers, is there any way to get them to show just the main number?
Thanks

Hi Nadia,
The Asset Subnumber together with the main asset number, uniquely identifies a fixed asset in Asset Accounting.
Using the asset sub-number, you can:
Provide for separate management of later acquisitions to assets.
Represent complex fixed assets with their component parts.
In contrast to the main asset number, the asset sub-number must be numerical.
the Main Asset will always have the subnumber as "0", which uniquely identifies that it is the Mainasset.
Hope this helps.

Asset created system giving a gap of 10 number in Asset number

Hi Asset Gurus,
I have stuck in a unique problem where normally asset numbers are sequentially increasing, but recently it has skipped 20 number and now its providing asset number after 20 numbers for example last asset created 1050 the next time when asset created system is creating asset with asset number 1071. There is an internal assent number range assinged. I have also checked the table TNRO table for checking the buffer, but bo buffer is activated so this is also not a cause of problem. Suitable reward points will be awarded.
Many thanks in advance!

Hi,
Its due to No range Increment in number range object buffer
You can resolve by Proceed as follows:
- Start Transaction SNRO and enter the affected object.i.e ANLAGENNR
- Choose the pushbutton 'Change'.
Set Buffer as 0 or
- Deactivate buffering: Choose 'Edit' -> 'Set Up Buffering' -> 'No Buffering'.
- If you only want to change the buffer size, enter the corresponding value in the field 'No. of numbers in buffer'.
- Save the changes.
Please note that this change is a modification. The modification is overwritten as soon as the affected number range object is redelivered - in other words, you must check the change manually each time you import a release.

Useful Life for Assets and Asset Sub Numbers

I am just learning about SAP Asset Accounting, for an implementation project, and I have a question about the Useful life of an Asset Sub Number when setting up Assets with Asset Sub numbers.
Does the useful life of the Asset Sub number have to be the same as the useful life of the Asset Main number?
I would like to know if I can set up an Asset, such as a building, with the asset main number, that has a useful life of say 40 years, then create asset sub numbers for things like the HVAC system that has a useful life of say 15 years.
I am not sure if it would be better to use a group asset for this situation or not.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me with this!
Amy Hay

Amy,
"Does the useful life of the Asset Sub number have to be the same as the useful life of the Asset Main number?"
No. A sub number can have completely different attributes from it's main asset (cost center, order, keys, UL...).
The situation you're describing is possible and from a design perspective it <i>can</i> be a good idea. Yes, you can create a main asset "Building" with a 40 year UL, but then have sub-assets for other major components (HVAC, Elevator, Security). This is one of the two types of design techniques for sub assets (a component based design). The other is based on the year of capital improvements. For instance, you could create a subasset "2007" and settle all projects related to capital improvements to that subasset. That way you would get visibility into capital acquisitions in FIAA reporting without having to goto CO or PS.
I would definitely <b>not</b> recommend using group assets. Group assets are used for composite depreciation scenarios and do more than just "group" similar records together.

How to Use Same Asset Number with Different Sub-number

Hi
We want to sell some assets and buy them back on lease. We want to use same Asset number with different sub-number under the same company code. This new asset will be under different Depreciation Area (Statistical).
We use external numbes for assets . And same asset number range is used by all compnay codes.
Please suggest whether this is possible & how.
With Regards,
Nitin

Hi,
Go to field status for asset master data section and change the field status to optional for field Deactivation date, then follow the below steps.
You can create an sub asset number to an asset, which is already deactivated by retirement as like normal sub asset creation with AS11.(While creating sub number, you need to remove cap date and deactivate dcate field manually from asset master)
With this you can get new asset number as same as your old retired asset main number and but sub number will be different.
To post to diff dep area, other than 01, then you first create an acq transaction type, which will post only to specific areas and then use the new asset number in ABSO to post acq with your custom TTY.
I have tested and found working well in my system............Try now in your test client

Down payment with PO (asset number brought from PO)

Hi experts,
The problem is that when we post down payment in F-48 with PO number, asset number and internal order numbers are brought from PO to FI as well.
However, the assets are not AUC. We actually do not need to trace down payment in asset side.
1) Do we have the option of not having effect to FI-AA?
2) For the IO, would the budget be affected?
Also, the system requires to give default cost element for down payment (OKEP).
3) What kinds of cost element are expected?
Thanks in advanced!

As I do not want down payment posted to asset as well, I changed the message to warning and asset number field hidden. No effect will be posted to AA then.

Scrap Asset and its sub assets in one transaction code

Please suggest if it is possible to scrap an asset and all its sub assets in one transaction as opposed to scrapping them separately in ABAVN.
regards
Rekha

Click on the button Multiple assets and fill in there the main asset and sub numbers. You have to fill them all in. There is no transaction that you can do this with filling in only the main-asset number

Asset number issue

I have a report which displays both project and asset information.
i am not able to link asset number from projects with asset number in fixed assets.Because the assets numbers are system generated while doing mass additions.
Can any one please advise let me know how to display the asset_number from below query.
Right now it is not displaying the asset_number.

AND ppal.cip_ccid = GCCV.CODE_COMBINATION_ID
and ppal.PROJECT_ASSET_ID = ppasset.project_asset_id
and ppal.PROJECT_ID = ppasset.project_id

Thanks for the reply satish.
I believe Fa_Mass_additions is used like interface table to load data from legacy or other modules.
Do you think all the FA data exists in FA_Mass_Additions.Cos it might get purged after the date load is successfull.

Asset Number

Hi all,
I just loaded some Assets in my SAP ECC 6.0 system, but I make a mistake and I wrote bad asset number for them... Now I need to change those numbers. ¿Can anyone here help me or give me some idea?. Assets numbers are Manual and I just loaded, so there's no movements associated to them.
Thanks in Advance!!!!
Dimas B. Salazar P.
SAP ABAP Consultant

In the case that you have already values in the assets and then the solution from Srinu is not working you can upload the old asset numbers in the tab origin asset number.
For the grid reports you can ad the field old asset number. On that way you can still run the most reports based on your old asset number
The documentation how to do this you can found in the Wiki part. The link is on the first message of this forum.
Me advise is only upload the asset in a production system after a complete test in the test system and these results should be approved by the business. During the test you write down in detail all the steps you are doing and then it is only a formality to do the upload in production system

Asset number already exists in AS01

Hi all,
I am creating a new asset in AS01. The problem is that I am getting the error saying that the asset number already exists. Typically SAP continues on from the last old number, but now it is restarting from 30000. The number is being generated automatically.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this numbering issue? I have looked in config but have failed to find anything.
Thanks,

Hi.
Run Tcode AS08. Choose company code and click on status. Change the number range to match your current number range.
This issue may be becaue someone might have resetted the number range using the path given above.

Assignment of Asset Number to non-capex item

Hi Gurus,
Is it possible in the SAP to have assignment of asset number for non-capitalized asset thru manual asset numbering without affecting other reports.
Thanks,
Ellicec

Hi Ajay,
For capitalized asset, we will use internal number assignment where the system will automatically generate an asset number for every asset created in the master data.
For non-capitalized asset, we will use external number assignment where the user will input the desired asset number.
Kindly advise if this is possible.
Thanks,
Ellicec

Serial number asset number

hello,
is there any connection-link that can be implemented between asset number (as02 that is given to the material in MIGO account assignemnt tab) and the serial number (either iq01 or during MIGO serial number tab).
Thanks

We are creating serial numbers - material related from MIGO, and at the same time trying to create an asset master data.
We configured the sync functionality between PM and AA, so when we create a serial number via transaction IQ01, the fixed asset master data is created automatically. We also configured the serial number profile in the material master. When we create a goods receipt (MIGO), the serial number data screen comes into place. We save the GR document, and when we check the serial number data in PM this info is correct, but the synchronization between fixed asset didn't work it means, no asset master data is created. We are dealing with this last issue mentioned, so if you know something about this it would be very grateful.
Best regards,
