Assets Under construction & Depreciation run

Hi SAP friends,
What is the meaning of Distribution & settlement in AUC.
While closing financial year we are running depreciation. After once run depreciation, can we run second time for same fiscal year. If yes does any impact on first run.How many times we can repeat run in same fiscal year?
reply will be awarded.
Thanks & regards
Amar

Hi,
1. Distribution & settlement :- Once u create a CWIP. U need to settle it means transfer the balance to gross block so that depreciation can gets calculated on the same.
In distribution u can settle same CWIP asset either line item wise or % wise to different gross bvlock assets. U have to give distribution rule for the same. According to ur rule the CWIP asset will get settled to gross blocks
2. U can do the repeat run of deprecition. This is useful if once planned run has ben done some changes happens in asset & depreciation change is there in the repeat run that change will get posted
hope this will help u.
Rgds,
Saurabh

Error in depreciation run - assets under construction

Hi!
Could someone please help me with the following:
My customer has a large amount of assets under construction (AuC) and also other assets. None of the assets under consctruction should have a depreciation key (or depreciation key 0000) and no depreciation accounts are allocated in transaction AO93 for AuC . But my customer now has incorrectly created a few AuC (that should NOT be depreciated at all) with depreciation key LINK. What happened?
1) Test run depreciation (AFAB) for all assets in period 1 during 2010. In test run no error log was created, everything looked fine.
2) Executed depreciation in background.
3) When looking at each of the assets in transaction AW01N I can see that all assets (both real assets and AuC with depreciation key) has depreciation posted in period 1. BUT, no depreciation has been posted in general ledger on any of the asset classes!
4) I have now changed the depreciation key on all AUC in AS02 to 0000 so that no depreciation will be calculated.
5) Trying to run AFAB again for period 2 but error message says that period 1 was terminated and that period 1 should be restarted.
6) Trying to run period 1 again in AFAB with restart but error message says "Account 'Acc.dep. accnt.for ordinary depreciation' could not be found for area 01" and refering to all of the incorrect AuC that I have corrected (to no depreciation key)
Please how can I go on? I want to reverse the depreciation in period 1 since I didn't get any posting i the general ledger. And then I want to make a new depreciation run only with correct assets (only depreciation on real assets, not on AuC).
Please help!
I am very thankful for any help!
Many many thanks in advance!

Hi,
I had the similar situation couple of months back. I followed below mentioned process and it worked out well.
1) Maintain GL account for depreciation in AO90
2) restart depreciation run for the relevant period
3) change the depreciation key to 0000
4) repeat depreciation run for the same period (It will post a reverse entry in the same month itself. So the net impact of depreciation in the same month is zero).
By the way I have a suggestion to prevent this issue in future.
You may not be able to detect this issue on test run if you execute on foreground mode because the test run execution is restricted to 1000 assets. If the error is on 1001th asset, you will not know.
Hence, always execute depreciation test run on background mode, check for any errors and execute production run only if there are no errors.
Hope this helps....

New Depreciation Area in Asset Master Data, for assets under construction.

Hi,
The issue is relating to New Depreciation area. We have created new Depreciation area as 80=IFRS. We had followed three steps
1. Create Depreciation area via OADB.
2. Activate Depreciation area via OAYZ.
3. Automatic opening of new depreciation are via AFBN and program RAFABNEW :-
3.1 u2013 Indicator: Leave values initial = ticked. Set this indicator if you want to open the newly created depreciation area without any values i.e. blank.
In this we have find that the old assets value has been copied. But when we are doing internal order settlement through KO88 i.e. from pre-cap to AUC we are not finding new Depreciation area 80=IFRS in AUC. We had checked in AW01N.
Letu2019s assume that creating a new deprecation area is normally not required since these assets are not depreciated. But During the final settlement, the new depreciation area should also automatically supplied with values from the reference depreciation area from the AUC(assets under construction) in the completed assets. But we doesnu2019t find any values of in Dep Key = 80 IFRS for final assets.
In Assets Class of AUC we had used Investmnet Measure as Status of AUC.
Kindly provide solution for the same.

Check Transfer Variant 5 (under Transactions->Intercompany Asset Transfers->Automatic Intercompany Asset Transfers->Define Transfer Variants):
5     Investment measure settlement
Your Transfer Method is most likely 1 now (without transfer to dependant areas), change it to:
4     Gross method with transfer of values to dependent areas
This should help.

Asset Under Construction(AUC),During month end settlement run(via KO8G)

Hi Guys ,
please hlep on this AUC :
During month end settlement run (via tcode KO8G), if there are -ve (credit) values to be settled to an Asset Under Construction (AUC) asset which does not have sufficient +ve value in the current FY, the settlement run will prompt an error message "Balance for transaction type group 10 negative for the area 01". The TT posted via the settlement run is TT115. To get around, user has to raise a manual journal (via doc type AT) to post the -ve value to the same AUC asset via TT101. TT 115 and 101 are configured differently (see attached).
Since the Fixed Assets system does accept credit posting to AUC via a journal, is there a solution to make posting go through via the settlement run?
Regards,
Narra

You can settle the AUC value in one period and posting can be made in another period. in the same you can give the different asset value date in KO88 screen. The only limitation is this possible only if the fiscal year is same.
Give the asset value date as 15.07.2007 in KO88
Hope this will work

Asset under Construction - Is it possible to calculate depreciation?

Hello Expecrts,
I have a question and in need to get aswers for that- is it possible to calculated depreciation for AuC. And in case of Down payment too.
Please let me know- 1. General senario
2. Diffierent possibilities on depreciation calculation.
Thank you to check the new thread.
Cordially,
partha

Hi Partha Saradhi...
Ordinary depreciation is not allowed for assets under construction in most countries. You reflect this limitation by choosing a depreciation key that does not allow ordinary depreciation in the book depreciation area. To ensure that this depreciation key is protected during master data maintenance, select the asset class as the maintenance level for the book depreciation area.For certain assets under construction, special tax depreciation is allowed. In this case you also enter corresponding keys in the asset class, to be used as mandatory default values.

Settlement of an Internal Order to Asset Under Construction

We are running SAP 4.7 and Iam trying to settle an Internal order to AUC and I get the following error
You cannot use this transaction type to post to this asset
Message no. AA834
Diagnosis
The transaction type entered belongs to transaction type group 15. According to the specifications for this transaction type group, posting with transactions types belonging to this group are only allowed in specific asset classes (for example, asset classes for assets under construction).
The asset to which you are posting belongs to class 18000 (chart of depreciation SEEF). You cannot post to this class using the transaction type you have entered.
Procedure
Check the asset number entered. You may want to allow posting with this transaction type group for the asset class of the asset.
**Please take note that the costs which have come on the internal oder are through GR( Goods receipt) and not down payment. Also note that last month, the order settled without any problems!**

Hi,
thanks for your answer.
I want to do that because of some french tax rules.
These rules say that goods, hours or services produced internally for the contruction of an asset can be "delivered" to itself.
So you can register output tax based on the value produced but you have also to register input tax for the same amount.
Finally the balance for VAT amount is 0.
I was interested to know if that was possible to automize. If not, there is still the possibility to make a separate postings at month end or year end.

Capitalize borrowing costs to asset under construction u2013 IAS23

Dear experts,
According to IAS 23 we are required to calculate interest on capital invested in an asset under construction.
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset form part of the cost of that asset. Where funds are borrowed specifically, costs eligible for capitalization are the actual costs incurred less any income earned on the temporary investment of such borrowings. Where funds are part of a general pool, the eligible amount is determined by applying a capitalization rate to the expenditure on that asset. The capitalization rate will be the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the general pool. The amount of borrowing costs that an entity capitalizes during a period shall not exceed the amount of borrowing costs it incurred during that period.
Detail scenario
The construction of a qualifying asset is controlled by an investment measures that are managed as projects - WBS elements and settled to an asset under construction periodically. The calculated interest shall update only the determine depreciation area set on the interest profile (OPIB).
The borrowing operations are managed by money market transaction on TRM (Prod. Category 550 Interest rate instrument).
Using the interest calculation function (CJZ2 - Individual Processing or CJZ1 - Collective Processing) we encountered several problems/ restrictions.
1 u2013 When funds are borrowed specifically to a qualifying asset for example, an interest rate instrument as a money market transaction on TRM should be capitalized according to the actual incurred borrowing cost and not by a capitalization rate. How to assign the value to the WBS element?
2 u2013 When funds are part of a general pool, although we can calculate and update the effective interest rate for each borrowing transaction (TMEZ) how to determine the weighted average capitalization rate by company code and define it on the Reference Interest Rates (OBAC) to be used in the interest calculation?
3 u2013 Even if the capitalization rate is defined and updated manually in the reference interest rate for the interest calculation, how to limit the amount of borrowing costs that will be capitalized during the period? The calculated interest in period shall not exceed the amount of borrowing costs it incurred during that period.
Is there any other functionality to support interest calculation and capitalization of borrowing costs to asset under construction according to IAS23 requirements?
Please advice.

Hi,
The interest rates for capitalization and for appropriation can be collected in separate cost centers and apportioned to WBS . If you incur interests at the group level,then using accrual apportion the relevant portion to the respective C/Codes.
For arriving the weighted average i assume you take the planned interest.For restricting the planned to the actual ones use the " Budget Manager" functionality,give the actual value,set zero tolerance.This will help restricting to the actuals.
Hope this helps.

Ramesh

Asset Under Constructions - Settlement

Dear Gurus,
I am trying to do an Asset Under Construction - Settlement using T.Code AIBU, when i click on proceed, it gives me an error:
SYST: You cannot determine the period for rule 02 to 12/31/07
Message no. AA613
Diagnosis
The system could not determine depreciation periods on 12/31/07 for period control 02 of calculation key 0000.
What to do
Maintain the allocation of the periods for the period control you entered.
Proceed
If the period control you entered is a standard period control, you can set up the allocation of periods automatically.
Procecd
Could you guide me through this...
Thanks in advance for your help.
regards,
Raj

Hi,
Please check
Note 357375 - Settlement: AA613 for AuC intracompany transfer
There are two possibilities how to solve this problem:
a. Define period control 02 with Transactions OA84 or OAVH.
b. If you work with self-defined period controls, you can enter another period control instead of 02 in depreciation key 0000.

Settlement of Asset Under construction

Hi Folks
Can someone please explain an overview of settling Assets under construction. I am having some issues with AUC. The actual value of asset is being taken from AUC, not from final asset. Any kind of assistance will be highly appreciated.

Hi,
The Below are some important Steps.
1. T.code KO88 - Here you settle Expences to Settlement cost Elements via internal Order or Cost Centers. Give the Settlement rule and by tht Expences will be distrubuted or settled to SCE..
2. In AIAB T.code -Here Distrubution is done from Settlement Cost Elements to AUC, Here settlement rule is defined as such.
3. In AIBU T.code - Here Settlement if Cost from AUC to Actual Asst is Done.
after AIBU Transcation is Processed, you can directly run the Deprecation for tht Asset.
Hope the above would Help in Understanding the Concept of AUC Settlements.
Thanks

Assign value to asset under construction

Hi Sirs,
I would like to know what i have to do to solve the problem with value for asset under construction. When I create asset with tr. AS91 in area for Takeover values, the field for ***.acquis.val. is not active.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Dani

Hi Dani
I assume that you have maintained the takeover date and period for last depreciation posted in the old system. Apart from this you have to make sure that the capitalisation date in asset master should be prior to takeover date, In order for system to recognize that asset is a takeover asset this is very important. when all the input fields are greyed , this means system does not determine it to be an old asset which it derives from cap date.

AUC- Asset Under Construction - Gap Analysis

Hi Guru's,
I have a requirement to know the Gap Analysis on Asset Under Construction.
We are under Analysis Phase where i have to find out the Gaps related to business.
I received a Reporting FD and asked to find out the data source.
Please provide the Gap Analysis steps to over come on this specific requirement.
Based on my analysis i found multiple tables to derive the AUC - Asset Under Construction solution.
Tables that involved to get the Asset Under Construction:ANLA, ANLZ, PRPS, ANEP, BPDY, T093B
My Questions:
Is there any SAP Standard Data Source for AUC- Asset Under Construction.
Now in my high level requirement we are pulling the information from multiple tables.
Please provide me suggestions how can i go ahead with the above requirement.
Regards,
Ganni

Depends on how the FICO guys have configured AuC
If they have chosen a separate asset class for this (as what tends to happen) - then the std asset data model will cater for this
Just run the std content reports or build your own for the asset class of AuC

Steps to create Asset under construction

Hi All,
Can any one pls explain me whats diff b/w normal asset class and AUC, and even provide me the steps to create AUC. (what are the GL acc assignments to be done)
It's urgent. pls help me...
thanks,
sravanthi

Dear sravanthi
For Normal Asset, We create an Asset in AS01 and we assign Depreciation area and depreciation is calculated.
For Asset under construction, SAP Provides a Seperate Asset class in As01 and no depreciation is calculated on this asset.
Fixed asset that is in the process of being completed at the time the balance sheet is being produced.
Assets under construction are shown as a separate balance sheet item for the enterprise. Assets under construction can be managed for bookkeeping purposes in the FI-AA component using asset master records in special asset classes.
To also benefit from management accounting functions that go beyond the asset accounting level, you can use capital investment measures in the Investment Management (IM) component. Investment measures can be managed in the form of internal orders or projects
For Steps to create AUC Refer to SAP Best Practices

Please let me know if you need more information.
Assign points if useful.

Please have look at the SAP Note 7595 and check your settings against it.
Besides, all the account assignment need to be maintained in AO90 for all assets class (including AUC)
