Asset PO Price Variance posting w/out asset account assignmt to wrong acct

We're bringing up fixed assets and are struggling with the account assignment behind PO Invoice receipt (MIRO) and price differences. At the moment, the PO is A account assigned and has the standard SAP settings except that the GR is valuated and the account assignment indicator is single instead of multiple. When we process MIRO, if there's a price difference, it hits the table 30 account assignment for the DIF trxn key.
We have 2 issues.
1. The account behind DIF is used for normal merchandise purchasing which isn't account assigned and doesn't reflect the GL account for the asset class.
2. The asset number is not being passed to the price variance posting (this could be a result of the GL account config since our normal merchandise purchasing doesn't carry a WBS).
We have an additional wrinkle in that we do a shadow posting to a WBS element as well as the asset number in MIRO. It seems to work fine so long as we don't have a price variance.
From reading documentation, it appears the price variance should be posting to the asset so we appear to have mis-configured something. I'm hoping it's not the valuated GR as we have a business requirement to show the value of the item when we receive it. In any case, we can't figure out what we're missing. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
thanks for your time and help.

Cost Centre assignmement in Material Price variance Posting

Hi Friends,
I see that when the user does a material price chnage posting thru MR21, it correctly hits the GL account as per the account determantion Procedure UMB (Gain or loss from revaluation).
I am qquite clueless from where does it pick up the cost centre to be assigned. This account (Cost element) has not been defaulted to any cost centre.
Please suggest me where I am lacking.
Thank you.

Purchase price variance in subcontracting order

Our customer has the following scenario:
     Purchase account is posted with the value of stock subsequently purchase price variance is a legal account
     Material ledger is active
     Inventories are managed with standard price for each material code
     Latin method management of inventories post stock values on managerial account
In good receipt with a subcontracting order, in case of purchase price variance, legal account of purchase price variance is posted generating a wrong reconciliation between managerial and legal posting.
Example
The subcontractor is a co packer that assembles material A to produce material B
Material A has a standard price of   3
Material B has a standard price of     5
If Co packer fees have a value     of     2 no purchase price variance occurs during good receipt, as a matter of fact :
(Co packing fees) 2 + (Material A) 3 = (Material B) 5
Else if co packer fees have a value of 3 a purchase price variance of 1 occurs and itu2019s posted using transaction key u201CPRDu201D. On FI the following document is posted:
Legenda : L stands for legal account , M stands for managerial account
(L) Co packing Fees                                         3
(L) Invoice to receive                                     3
(L)Purchase price variance                            1
(M) Consumption Material A                           3
(M) Stock Material              A                            3
(M) Stock Material               B                            5
(M) Production Confirmation Material B       6
In this scenario Purchase price variance should be a managerial account, but transaction key is PRD and changing the account would affect every posting.

This is the answer from OSS
Dear Customer,
the system works as designed.
When Material Ledger is activated, price differences are always
generated under the circumstances you have described. The reason is
that when material ledger is activated, price differences must not be
included into the stock changes value, otherwise the system would
not be able to calculate an actual price.
When Material Ledger is activated, the customizing setting
for handling price differences in the subcontracting process has no
effect.

Order Variance Settlement to Multiple GL Accounts

Hello All,
I Have a Query and need your Expert Advice in the following issue
Scenario:
When we settle an Order (Production Order) the Variance between the Target Cost and Actual Cost will be the Variaacne (+/-) and it is posted to a P&L Account. This Variance Consists of (Material Variance + Activity Variance + Overhead Variance). My Business Requirement is to have the different Variances posted to different GL Accounts (Material Variance to One GL Account, Activity Variance to One GL Account and Overhead Variance to One GL Account).
I told my Other Team Members that it is not possible since the GL is coming from the Account determination between MM and FI and we cannot implement this Scenario.
Can any one tell me from your Experience if that is Possible and if Possible how are you handling this Scenario.
Thanks in Advance for your Replies
Best Regards,
Ravi Reddy

Dear Ravi,
As per my understanding the above scenario is not possible in Standard SAP. May be you can post this question in Controlling Forum.

Asset Settlement You cannot use this transaction type to post to this asset

Hi All,
A CAPEX is created. An Asset is created. The asset is assigned to CAPEX under settlement rule. Out of several purchases made against the CAPEX, settlement for 2 months are carried out and the value of CAPEX was transferred to Asset.
However, during the current month, while doing the settlement, the system is giving the following error :-
"You cannot use this transaction type to post to this asset"
Message no. AA 834
The details diagnosis of the error message is
"The transaction type entered belomgs to transaction type group 15. It has been specified for this transaction type group, that it is only allowed to post to asset classes for which it has been explicitly allowed (for example, the asset class for assets under construction). The asset to which you are posting belongs to class PM-501 (chart of depreciation DEIL). You cannot post to this asset class using the transaction type entered"
Request to please let me know what could be the possible reasons for system giving such message adn how to rectify it.
Regards
Santosh

Hi Santosh,
I would suggest that you Check the <b>asset number</b> you entered. You may want to allow posting to this asset class using this transaction type group. If this is not the case, then, you may have to ask the business to reverse the initial posting causing this error and re-post with the correct transaction type that is allowed for this asset class.
I hope the above helps.
Do not forget to award the points please.

Jacob

Exchange rate diff amount posted to AUC asset

Hello All,
I am stuck with one issue and looking for some help
We are creating purchase order with account assignment as projects and then doing MIGO & MIRO and then settling through CJ88 to AUC asset.
The issue is related to exchange rate difference amount posted to AUC asset.
MIGO and MIRO are done on different dates and the difference amount in exchange rate posted to GL account maintained in KDM.
Now, when i settle the WBS element through CJ88 the AUC asset is posted with amount including the exchange rate difference amount.
Business do not want the exchange rate amount added to the AUC asset.
please confirm is this the system standard behavior .
Your inputs appreciated.
Thanks
Shashi

Hi Shashi,
As per Accounting Standards, the asset must be valued on the exchange rate on the date which risk and reward is transferred from seller to buyer.
For example If the vendor despatch the assets on 01.03.2014 at his place and contract is Exworks then the asset must be valued on exchange rate on 01.03.2014. Lets assume exchange rate on that day is 1USD=60INR. The price is 100 USD. You receive the assets on 10.03.2014 and exchage rate on that day is 55 INR. Now if you make GR on 10.03.2014 Asset value will be 5500 INR whereas as per AS it should be 6000 INR. That is why when you do MIRO the differnce between 6000 and 5500 is posted to asset.
When you do MIRO you must enter currency(USD) in Basic data tab and exchange rate 60 in details tab.
What happens in your system is standard behavior of SAP as well as correct process as per Accounting Standards.
Hope it is clear.

How to reverse depriciation posted to an asset

Dear All,
how to reverse depriciation posted to an asset,since the ependiture posted is not captial but revenue,after reversing how to delete the the asset values and reverse the purchase doc so that it can be poste das revenue expenditure

Hello surya
if an asset has been capitalized by "accident" we have the following options:
- change depreciation key to 0000 (this corrects the depreciation in fiscal year open in AM)
- if aquisition has been carried out in prior closed fiscal years: post a write up in current fiscal year(because you have to correct the depreciation of prior years, the dep is wrong - and maybe unauthorized) TC abzu
- now post a scrapping TC ABAVN
Now the asset history sheet and the values of the GL are correct.
What do you think about my idea?
Best regards
Horst

Asset value reduction without posting to accounts

Hi,
I am facing one problem. I am having asset worth 100000 now I want to reduce it to 0. The asset value change should be made in asset accounting only and it should not have entry in GL. The value for this asset is zero in GL account. Please suggest how can I post only in Asset.
Points can be awarded.
Thanks
Veena

Hi Rajib,
It is possible to let created the posting in FI an created a manual reversing with OASV and ABF1.
But when you retire later the asset you have to make a correction again with OASV or ABF1 (who knows then!!).
BUT YOUR SUBLEDGER IS NO LONGER IN LINE WITH YOUR G/l ACCOUNTS.
I think you use these transaction only with conversion (AS91) and take them then out of the authorization.
When you start with manual posting then you have differences between AA and FI. Over some years the tax office have a look to your books and then you have to explain the differences. Then you can spend some weeks to found the differences.

Direct Expensing out Asset with out capitalizing

Hello Asset Gurus,
Is there any way to directly expense out asset as it is received through Purchase order?
The requirement is to immediately expense out some low value components.
I know its possible to receive it as a LVA and depreciate it in the same month fully, but is there any other way of expensing out with out receiving to balance sheet?
If Yes, how should be the settings for GL accounts in account determination?
thanks
sap freak

Hi,
the issue you describe rather intents that you have no asset as accounting object. So why do you account on assets if you want to expense it directly without any impact on AA subledger?
You mentioned the immediate depreciation already, that would be one way. By the way, talking about accounts: if you do not use the LVA functionality, how should the system determine an expense account to be posted?
Another option would be to use limited transaction types, which would expense it directly with the "capitalization differences functionality" to one (expense) account maintained in the IMG for the depreciation areas which do not get APC amounts.

Markus

Where we have to open and close posting periods in asset accounting

hi sap gurus
can anybody give where we have to open and close posting periods in asset accounting
thank you
venkatareddy

Hi Venkatareddy,
You make specifications for fiscal years and posting periods in the SAP R/3 System in Customizing for Financial Accounting. This is done in the fiscal year variant in the global parameters of the company code. These settings are, in general, also binding for Asset Accounting. The depreciation periods in Asset Accounting then correspond to the posting periods in Financial Accounting.<b> It is usually not necessary to create a separate fiscal year variant for Asset Accounting.</b>
The period control in the depreciation key determines the start and end of depreciation when asset transactions are posted . The period control determines the relationship between the calendar period in which the asset transaction is posted and the depreciation period.
These calendar periods are independent of the posting periods in Financial Accounting. The only restriction is that the beginning of the first calendar period and the end of the last calendar period defined in a period control have to match the start date and final date of the fiscal year in Financial Accounting.
Kindly let me know if this useful for you

Good Receipt is posted to price variance account instead of Inventory account

Dear All,
My client have a PO with three materials. All those materials have been assigned to same valuation class. Client has posted GR for this PO and one material has been recorded a misbehavior when selecting the accounts. That mean, it has been ignored the inventory account and instead value has been posted to price variance account. So the debit entry in price variance and credit entry in GR/IR.
But other two material has the automatic posting to correct account as Debit to Inventory and Credit to GR/IR.
Could you pls help me to find the reason for this.
Regards
Sujith

Dear Vivek and Dev,
Attached herewith the screenprint of Accounting view of the two material. Material 300000075 has the correct posting while material 300000028 has recorded incorrect posting
