Asset Subnumber Question ...

Hii SAPfans,
l have been assign by my boss to enhance Asset management in our company, i need your help to explain what does Asset Subnumber mean & what is the function of this subnumber ?
kindly help ....

Hi
SAP defines sub number as below:
Number, which in combination with the main asset number, uniquely identifies an asset in the system.
Using the asset sub-number makes it possible to represent complex fixed assets in the system.
The fixed asset is identified by the main asset number. Each individual part of the asset, or subsequent acquisitions, can be represented by a sub-number. You have to enter separate master data for each sub-number
However while you digest the definition, you need to check with your boss the scope of the AA.
AA is not a stand alone but is a integrated functionality with other SAP components.
Specific to sub numbers, try to fix one main asset under which possibility of assigning sub asset is probable.
Proceed with creation of seperate asset master records.

Archivation of asset subnumber object AM_ASSET

Hi experts,
I want to archive few subnumbers of asset. For example I have asset P09.08.011 subnumber 0 which have subnumbers 1 - 21.
I want to archive asset subnumbers from 13 - 19. There is not amount in those subnumbers.
I searched web, and I found some guides e.g . Data archiving in FIAA
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPFI/DataArchivinginFI-+AA
but when I tried to create write variant for archivation object AM_ASSET, I didn't found any possibility to enter asset subnumbers in archivation variant. I can only enter assets, but no subnumbers in test mode with archive file.
Is there possibility to archive only few asset subnumbers ?
Can I somehow copy archivation object AM_ASSET and somenow change this copy for my purpose?
Please help me ...
Thanks and regards,
Adrian

Hi Adrian,
Looks like you are right - info structure AM_ASSET does not support archiving by asset subnumber.
What you could do is a development to expand the info-structure to include sub-numbers. I am not an expert in that; you may want to post something in the archiving forum under application lifecycle management.
Good luck,
Tammy

Step-up assets (FMV - NBV) - Use of asset subnumber?

Hi all,
A question about step-up assets. Our client has recently acquired another company. The newly acquired assets would have a NBV that is either more or less than the fair market value. There is a business requirement that this difference in NBV and FMV has to be recorded and depreciated.
What are some available options? Can this difference be treated as an asset & assigned to the main asset as a child (subnumber)?
Thanks!

Thank you Bernhard.
Our business wants to use asset sub-numbers to manage these step-ups/step-downs.
One oustanding requirement is that they want to see these step-up/step-down assets separately in the ledger. In other words, they want to have different APC and depreciation accounts than the ones on the main asset. Is this possible? I always thought that you cannot have a different account determination on the asset sub-number than the one on the main asset.
If having different accounts is not possible, is there any otherway they can differentiate these step-up/step-down assets in the ledger (balance sheet/P&L)?
Thanks

Asset accounting-QUESTIONS

Hi Gurus,
I got some questions for asset accounting request all of you to kindly extend your help
my questions are
    What is Asset History? ( OAOA)
2)     How the data flows from Asset Accounting to Controlling?
3)     When the asset value is zero and the Company is still using the asset then, how the Company generally proceed to calculate depreciation further? (Curb) (SPRO>Financial Accounting>Asset Accounting>Depreciation>Valuation Methods> Depreciation Key>Calculation Methods> Define Base Methods)
4)     In asset accounting, why 0% Tax code is created for not taxable transaction and why it is compulsory to do it before assigning the chart of depreciation to company code?
5)     What configuration is required to bring all the Fields in depreciation area tap of Asset master creation?(AO21) and (AS01)
[If we make any changes in Tcode AO21 and they are not getting reflected in depreciation area (Last Tab) in creation of asset master (AS01). So how to make the configuration to get those changes reflected in dep. area (last tab) in creation of asset]
6)     What are difference between Germany Chart of Dep. and Great Britain Chart of Dep. (UK)?
Be assured about the points
Thx

Hello
Charts of depreciation are used in order to manage various legal requirements for the depreciation and valuation of assets. These charts of depreciation are usually country-specific and are defined independently of the other organizational units. A chart of depreciation, for example, can be used for all the company codes in a given country
In the simplest scenario, all of your company codes are in the same country and are subject to the same legal requirements for asset valuation, meaning that you only need one chart of depreciation.
The chart of depreciation consists of the following parts:
In general, you are required to calculate values for assets for different needs, both internal and external (such as book depreciation and cost depreciation). Therefore, the Asset Accounting component enables you to manage values for assets in parallel in up to 99 depreciation areas. The chart of depreciation, therefore, is a directory of depreciation areas organized according to business management requirements. You define the characteristics, and thereby the significance, of the individual depreciation areas in each chart of depreciation. A depreciation area is always assigned to only one chart of depreciation.
You flexibly define the keys for the automatic depreciation of assets in each chart of depreciation. They are based on elements for calculation (calculation methods, period controls, and so on) that are available client-wide.
Use
SAP supplies typical reference charts of depreciation for each country. They have different depreciation areas and depreciation keys depending on that countrys specific requirements. You cannot use these charts of depreciation directly. You must create your own chart of depreciation by copying the reference chart of depreciation. Delete any depreciation areas that are not needed.
You can document the meaning of any chart of depreciation you set up in the system by writing a description for it.

Fixed assets addon - question about items...

Hi,
Does an asset item has necessarily to be inventoried ?? If so, this is not logical to see them in the Audit Report.... what do you think about that ?
thanks,
Luce

Hi Luce,
Stock Audit report is for all stock items which can be found in 'Inventory-> Item Master Data' in the company.
When you define a new fixed asset in fixed assets module, Financials -> Fixed Assets -> Fixed Asset Master Data, the fixed assets will not be shown in stock audit report because the asset is not a item in item master data.
When you define a assets class from Administration ->Setup -> Fixed Assets -> Define Asset Classes, the asset classes are defined as items and appear in the item master data. Consequently, some items in your system represent asset classes. Using items enables Fixed Assets to be integrated easily with the Purchasing and Sales modules in subsequent versions of Fixed Assets. This integration means that you can, for example, purchase assets using the purchase order and incoming invoice processes.
If you manage the fixed assets on assets level, not classes level,there will be no stock transactions for these assets classes and the assets classes will not be shown in stock audit report.
On the other hand, if you make some stock transaction on these assets classes in Business One core module, the assets classes will be shown in stock audit report.
I hope this anwsers your question.

Ivy Zhang

All assets have question marks and no relink window in Muse v 7.2

I upgraded my Adobe Muse to v 7.2. Now all the assets placed with my previous version of Muse show up in the assets panel of Muse v7.2 with a question mark beside them, but no relink window opens after launching Muse v 7.2 to acknowledge missing asset links or to enable me to relink missing assets. How do I relink missing asset links in Muse 7.2 without a relink window opening? Is there a relink option or button somewhere in Muse 7.2? If so, where is it located?

Here's an example of what I assume you're seeing?
Here's what appears if you Control+Click (or right+click) on the red question mark icon.
If this isn't appearing for you, please report what version of Muse and AIR you're using (as reported in the About Adobe Muse dialog). Also, what type of pointing device are you using (i.e. Apple mouse, Wacom tablet, etc.)?
Does Control+click (aka right+click) work for you in any context?

Extract assets workflow question

Hi,
We are doing more and more web design these days, we mainly design for Print usually, and we now need to provide image assets to web developers.
I'm trying the Export assets feature in PS CC Fall 2014 and I'm puzzled by the results. I use the canvas size as my "cropped" size of the final image. I have a lot of images with the same size so I was thinking to put them all in the same document (620X414pixel at 72 dpi) as smart object, which have higher resolution. I need to sometimes crop the image to I just scale accordingly to what I need, and since this is a smart object, I can pretty much do as I want without losing any data.
Here's the kicker, if I export assets, the resulting file is NOT cropped to the document size as I expected it to, it's at the right resolution, but Uncropped. SO, I have to put a mask on each and every layer that is going to be exported so it is cropped. Very time consuming when you have about 60 of them. So I tried to put them in a layer group with a mask thinking that would work, but no.
So my question to you guys is how do you do it?
Last time, we did it in InDesign, exported to jpegs and renamed the files from that. I starting to think it's easier that way.
Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated!

Asset subnumber

Hi gurus,
I have an asset activated in 2001 which has a useful life of 5 months, 6 months.
Before this asset depreciated completely a subnumber was posted, with activation date july 2006.
On this asset the depreciation start was set as the depreciation start for the main number in 2001.
Why no depreciation is calculated on subnumber?
Regards,
Miroslav

Hi Miroslav,
Your problem is probably caused by the depreciation key that you are using. Verify its configuration using T code AFAMA. As you stated in your blog the useful life has expired for the subnumber asset. The depreciation key you are using may not have a changeover method for posting depreciation after the useful life has expired (changeover method "5"). Therefore, it doesn't know what to do with the remaining depreciation. If a changeover method is defined after the expiration of the useful life, then verify when the next phase is told to take remaining depreciation (i.e. beginning of year). It may try to take it at the beginning of 2008. Verify by running a Asset History Sheet or Depreciation Simulation report for 2008.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Chad

Double declining in asset subnumber

Hi SAP Guru,
I need to know why SAP system behave cutting down the depreciation value into 2 for asset sub number 1.
With double declining multiplication factor 25% and maximum percentage rate 2.5%. The date of capitalized is 10.03.2014 and start depreciation is 22.02.2014. which mean the manual calc depre for 2014 is 10month.
(25.183.558*25%)*(10/12)= 5.246.574
The main asset is already finish depreciation and leave NBV ZERO since 2011.
the question is why ordinary depreciation for this year 2014 just a half 2.623.288?
Thank you master.

Hi Prince,
System is calculating the depreciation correctly. Your depreciation is based on useful life.
(25.183.558/8)*10/12= 2,623,288.
You have taken 25% instead of 8 years. Due to this the difference raised.

Mukthar

Asset Intelligence - Question.

Hello,
I have a question regarding the Asset Intelligence.
I have an environment with a Primary Site and 19 distribution point in different domains.
intelligence asset installed on the primary site that is the TOP LEVEL.
For it to do inventory of licenses in all other domains, I need to install a Management Point or a Primary Site for each domain?
If I have to install a primary site, need to install an intelligence asset for each site?
THANKS!!
Atenciosamente Julio Araujo

Actually, you don't need the AI Sync Point role at all to use AI. The AI sync point simply syncs the catalog with Microsoft. It has nothing to do with actually collecting the data in your infrastructure. Thus, all you need to do is enable the classes for
collection and let hardware inventory and software metering do the rest.
For client management activities in ConfigMgr, alternate domains and forest don't really matter and do not require anything special in the infrastructure to support. They simply need to be able to find the existing site roles.

No Field Copy during creation of assets Subnumber

Hello,
Is there any way to deactive the some field data during the Creation of Sub number when using the reference assets number.
I have already unchecked the copy field in Screen layout setting for Assets master data. But still the Capitalisation date and Ordinatory depreciation dates are copyed from the reference assets number.
I don't want to have the old value for the capitalisation date and ordinatory depreication strat date in the newly created Sub assets number.
kindly show the wayout of this issue.
With regards
Satish Karanath k.

hi Dominic Holdstock
Thanks for reply. you have given me vital clue to solve the problem. We have to uncheck the Main Assets number ("MnNo") in screen layout for master data.
I have assigned point for you.

Creation of Asset subnumber

Hi,
I just want to know if an Asset main number has been created and depreciation has also been posted on it and now if a sub number is to be created within the same main number system wont allow changing the depreciation start date.
User requirement is to create a sub asset within the main asset whose depreciation has been posted with the depreciation start date field to be in changeable mode but here the system has grayed out the field..
If this is like this then what else can we do
Any help

Hi,
This can be done using screen layout. But, be aware that the change in Depn. start date makes the system re calculate the deprecition depending upon the other criteria.

Photoshop CC Image Assets Folder Question

Can I move my Photoshop CC generated Image Assets folder away from the native file and keep it connected for updating?

It will only generate assets to the parent folder. You can move the folder, but it will recreate it.
