AUC AND CWIP

hi
Guru's
what is the difference between AUC AND CWIP
please explain in details, with examples
and Accounting entries,
with regards
Arun Kumar

Hi
Both are same according to SAP
Assets under construction (AuC or CWIP or Capital work-in-progress) are a special forms of tangible assets. They are displayed as a separate balance sheet item and require, therefore, separate account determination and their own asset classes. During the phase in which an asset is under construction, all actual postings are assigned to the AuC (CWIP). Once the asset is completed, a transfer is made to a master record to be created in the completed fixed assets.
Assets under construction (capital work-in-progress) can be managed for summary settlement or by line item. In the case of summary management, the entire expenses incurred are transferred once or several times to the asset(s) in the completed tangible fixed assets at the time of completion. When assets under construction (capital work-in-progress) are managed by line item, you can enter settlement rules for every line item assigned to the AuC (CWIP).

AUC and settlement rule mismatch.

Hi,
We have created many AUCs while uploading initial data at the time of go-live by posting JVs on WBSE and then performing the settlement. Now due to some currency issues we have reversed all settlements, and then Asset accounting person has resetted the asset register.
now when I am trying to create AUC from CJ20N, system creates AUC and provides the number. but this newly generated AUC number is not matching with the AUC in settlement rule. I can't delete the old settlement rule as the settlement performed on that. as well as I am not able to add new AUC in settlement rule.
Please let me know if there is any program / tcode which can remove this inconsistency. or is there any other procedure to make it streamline.
Please help.
Regards,
Nilesh.

Hi,
There is no error message in this case.
The scenario is like:
I have one WBSE and AUC is created for this WBS. for example AUC number is 1. the WBSE is released and some cost has incurred on it. during periodic settlement the cost is settled on the AUC.
Now the Client FICO team observed that the asset accounting is wrong due to currency conversion problem, so FICO team decided to reset the asset register and upload the entire master with new corrections. this will reset the AUCs as well.
so i reversed the settlement done on AUC and got the cost back on WBSE.
FICO team has resetted the asset register and all AUCs got deleted.
Now the issue is: WBSE is having AUC #1 in settlement rule which can not be deleted as settlement is carried out on this rule.
But when I create new AUC for WBS it is being created as some different number, (lets say #7) so even if now I run settlement the settlement will be done on AUC #1 insted of #7 even though #1 belongs to some other WBSE now in new scenario.
I hope I have clearly mentioned the issue.

Nilesh

Without IM how can i settle construction project to AUC and asset

Dear all
without IM, how can i settle construction project to AUC and asset.
can someone explain it in details?
thanks a lot.
Judy

thanks for all of your answers.
i create the investment profile and assgin it to the project profile.
when i release the project, i see the system status changed from crtd to release and AUC.
when i do cj88, the costs are settled to the AUC No. automatically.
could you tell me how the AUC No. is created? where does it configure?
when AUC is settled to FXA, what are the procedures?
first TECO the project and then do CJ88, am I correct?
thanks a lot

AUC and plant

Hi All,
Which table can be used to relate an AUC to plant?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
"AuC" is assigned to "Company Code" and "Company Code" is assigned to "Plant".
So I think that you should combined 2 tables to get relationship between AuC and Plant.
Try as follows :
1. Find out your Asset class for AuC.
2. In table ANLA,
    Asset class is defined in field : ANLKL
    Company Code is defined in field : BUKRS
3. In table V_TMZWK,
    Company Code is defined in field : BUKRS
    Plant is defined in field :WERKS
Hope it is useful.

Uploading of AUC or CWIP Assets.

Hi,
we want to upload the legacy data of cwip assets (line items ). what is the procedure do i need to follow ?
Regards,
Shekar.

You have to post this to the internal order / WBS and settle it from there. When you don't use IO or WBS you have to post it to the AUC.

Settlement of proj cost to AUC and final settmnt to f.asset for closed proj

Hi PS Experts,
If the project (Investment Projects) has been closed and AUC has been fully settled to final asset but in some cases they still received invoices for the same project.
Would it be correct if they undo closed and undo teco the project and charge the cost to related WBS elements and settle to AUC then proceed to fully settled to a new fixed asset ? SInce the previous fixed asset has been depreciated, i guess we should create totally new asset to settle this new cost.
Please advise.
Thanks and regards,
Yuzeila

yes it is fine to do that from a system perspective
choose full capitalisation in transaction CJ88
also make sure that the settlement rule to the final asset is entered on the WBS
you need to check with your FI guidelines about asset value dates etc to check about the business perpspective
As an alternative - It would be OK to create a sub asset with new asset value dates and use this sub asset in the settlement rule

Question on AuC and WBS

Folks
I am new to FI and need some clarification. I have a requirement to create a user specific field in WBS element Master data CJ20N. I am implementing CNEX007 user-exit to do this. This user specific field should get posted into AuC.
For WBS element flagged as an investment measure an AuC record is created in the background to be used for settlement. This AuC is created from fields inherited from WBS elements, such as Receiving Cost Center , Asset Class of the Investmen profile, Business Case ID. The user specific field created in CJ20N should as well get posted into the AuC.
Kindly suggest me how i should implement this? Is there any user exit or should i go for a substitution rule to do this.
your suggestions r greatly apprecitaed and awarded
Alok

Dear Alok,
Look the BADI "BAdI: Field Transfer from WBS Element to Fixed Asset" in the IMG Investment Management>Projects as Investment Measures>WBS Elements>BAdI: Field Transfer from WBS Element to Fixed Asset.
I didnt use this BADI, is only one suggestion.

Need WBS split to AUC and Expanses during settlement (not %wise)

Hi,
We have some capital projects settling to AUC but we are also charging WBS for labor costs and travel expanses and offcouse capital costs.
Managment wants PS team to Settle labor/travel to CCTR and Capital cost to AUC. How can WBS recognize cost elements carry expanses and Capital Costs and split them during settlment?
expanse range: 500000-599999 travel/labor
Capital expance range: 600000-699999 to be capitalized
I will appreciate any clue in this regard.
-Atif
PS.: I am trying capital investment key at this time, so that WBS will settle only capital range in AUC.

Hi,
Maintain different settlement rule for WBSE with different recevier such as AUC & CTR. In settlement configuration define source structure such as CTR & AUC along with cost elements for settling the cost into different receiver.
Hope this will help you.

AUC and depreciation area

we are opening a new depreciation area 92, can we activiate the AUC asset class for this depreciation area, if AUC asset not activiated, then how can we settle AUC to fixed asset under depreciation area 92? thanks

AUC and WBS

Dear all
As you all know that AUC will be automatically created when Wbs created in investment project, system creating AUC at all WBS level.I want only one AUC at 1st level WBS. i do not want AUC at other level. How i do that.
Regards
KP

Hello,
You need to have settlement rule for top level WBS only in that case.
How are you creating settlement rules for your WBS- manually or automatically?
Since you just want to settle the top WBS, i guess, you don't need automatic generation. In that case, just create the rule manually only for top WBS.
Another option could be when you are running settlement, just run it for top WBS without hierarchy indicator checked. This will not settle lower level WBS.
Hope the above helps you.

How to track the corresponding CWIP and Asset after settlement in reports

Dear gurus,
We are trying to develop a single report which would have commitments, actual costs, Auc amounts and Final Asset postings w.r.t a project or WBS element.
What is the table where we can find AuC amount and CWIP number for given WBS elements. Similarly where can we find the Final Asset number corresponding to the WBS element.
Is there any way we can work around the settlement rules.. Is there any table where the settlement rules are saved??
Pls guide..
Thank you

AuC created and posting entries throu KO88 but i dont see any depreciation

An AuC has been created and also capitalized using t-code KO88 but i dont see any depreciation for a long time.
Can someone please understand me the complete concept of AuC and how the depreciation is calculated.
- Sudhir Krishna Kumar SIngh

Hi Dear,
Internal order settlement :- In standard SAP ,generally we are settle P&L expenses to CWIP ( Asset under constructions) though internal order system,which same P&L expenses transferred to as balance sheet value under fixed asset group. All AUC assets are having depreciation key 0000 or any other key with 0 %.
Once WIP has been capitalized , business user settle the AUC asset and transfer same values to direct asset.
Process :-
1. Create new asset under required asset class
2. AUC Settlement ... AIAB Transaction code ,where you have to select how much amount need to be transfer to direct assets.
after that ,you have to click on settlement button.

KO88 - Error when settling for Cost Center AND Auc for the same Internal Or

Hi Experts,
We need to configure Investment Internal Orders that could settle to both Cost Center and Auc, but each assignments with different Source Cost Elements
We did the following:
1. Created Auc Class
2. Created Investment Profile "IMOBIL" and assigned to Auc Class, flagging Auc
3. Created Allocation Structure "CV" with two assignments:
01, Source = Cost elements 7000000000 to 7999999999, receiver AUC "by cost element"
02 Source = Cost elements 4000000000 to 4999999999, receiver CTR "by cost element"
4. Created Model Order, filling the Investment Profile IMOBIL created in step 2.
5 Created Settlement Profile ZCV0001, assigning Allocation Strucutre CV, allowing CTR and AUC for receivers, default receiver is "FXA", doc type "AA".
6 Created ORder Type CV01, assigning Settlement Profile ZCV0001.
When I post only for Asset Expenses (Source Cost element 7, Assigment 01), the settlement through KO88 correctly settles to AUC, and also creates the settlement rule for cost center (i'm using the strategy to create from Responsible Cost Center).
But when I post for Asset Expenses (cost elements 7, receiver AUC) AND General Expenses (Source Cost element 4, receiver CTR), KO88 generates an error KD506, saying that for Assigment 02 - AUC I didnt define a settlement cost element.
1. Assignment 02 is not AUC, is CTR;
2. I flagged "by cost element", so I don't need a settlement cost element. And also, I was able to post to AUC when the source posting was only for cost element 7.
Did you face any problem like this?
I cannot find out what is the missing configuration, or if it is a program error...
Kind Regards
Mayumi Blak

Hi Ajay
I already created Source Structure and assigned to my Setllement profile (so I assigned Allocation Structure AND Source Structure).
I don't understand when you say that I need to assign the Source Sutrcture in each rule....because the Source structure is in the Settlement Parameters valid for both rules...
When I post to Asset Expenses only for the internal Order, the 2 rules (CTR and AUC) are created when I run KO88 (but only AUC rule is settled). This is OK.
The problem is when I post for both General Expenses AND Asset Expenses, the system is not recognizing that I have 2 source structures, neither is findind that for CTR AND AUC the Settlement cost elements are the original cost elements.
I'm thinking about changing message KD506 to warning, do you know if this can help?
Kind Regards

Line item Settlement and KOB5 for automatically created AUCs to PM orders

Hello Experts,
I am trying to set up line item settlement for automatically created AUCs. We would like to use line item settlement because we want to see the costs split up by either percentage or amount when settled to the AUC. If I can't settle by percentage or amount to the AUC then i'd like to be able to temporarily block some of the costs from settling. This is for billing not capitalization purposes since all costs will eventually settle to one final asset. The settlement is done using transaction KO88 or KO8G and automatic processing type. I’ve configured a PM Order type as an investment order and set up the related investment profile and investment asset class. Some of the things I've determined from my testing:
Using transaction KOB5, costs can be split up by creating other distribution rules, but only to another object (i.e. another
asset, order, cost center etc. by using the Preliminary) not to the automatically created AUC linked to the order
The default settlement rule is account assignment category FXA, percentage rate 100%, settlement type AUC to the AUC
and therefore cannot be updated/altered when using KOB5 or any other transaction.
Once the costs are settled to another object other than the AUC, those costs cannot be settled to the final asset. Creating Preliminary
settlement rules to a receiver IO and changing the period or fiscal year will not “block” costs from settling whether the processing type is automatic, by period, partial capitalization or full settlement.
I’ve been testing this out in our development client and need verification that this is the way that transaction KOB5 works with line item settlement or did I do something incorrect .
Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi Zaid,
Thank you for your response. Assets are not my area so I’m not sure if I missed a transaction or step in the process. I tested this out by doing the following steps:
Created AUC Asset class with line item checked
Assigned PM Order type as non-investment with no investment profile and created order number
Created a main asset number
Created an AUC sub asset number to step 3
Created settlement rule to sub asset number on order
Posted costs to order
Settled from order to AUC with transaction KO88
Created distribution rules for asset with transaction AIAB
Settled from sub asset to main asset number with transaction AIBU
When I settled from the sub to the main asset number in step 9, I found I lost the line item detail. Is there another configuration setting I need to make to allow me to see the line item detail when I use AIBU?
Thank you,

Activity Labour HR & Machine HR need to upload to IO and then to AUC

I have created a Internal Order-AUC, and also created a AUC. I am booking expenses/cost to IO and able to settle those costs to AUC since all the cost element are assigned to Allocation structure A1.
Issue: I am booking Labour HR and Machine HR cost (by maintaing activity prices- t,code KPB6) maitained to that IO through code: KB21N .
Now when I am settling this IO to AUC it gives error. I am not able to maintained secondry settlement cost element for the activities. I have even tried but system is giving error that maintain allocation structure A1 properly.

Hi,
If AUC is to be linked to Internal Order,then the Object class of the IO should be INVESTMENT.
If you create an IO with type Investment,then it will create an AUC automatically.
And in the settlement profile of the IO, you will assign the model order and also assign the settlement profile 50.
Then while settling an IO , it will automatically get settled to AUC and there would be no error.
Hope this is useful.
