CAPEX Settlement

Hi,
This problem pertains to Asset accountign and internal order accounting.
A Capex is made. A settlement rule is defined in the capex wherein the CAPEX is to be settled against the asset under category - AIP- P&M.
While trying to settle the CAPEX against the asset, we are getting a message that I can not post to the asset
The error message coming is AA834 & the 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."
Please suggest as to why the system is not allowing to post. Where in SAP we are restricting to post settlement only for asset under down payment.
Also, please suggest the possible way out.
Thanking you,
Santosh K Agarwal.

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

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.

Santosh

Hi Santosh,
I would suggest that you Check the asset number 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.

Query on CJI3 Report

Hi All,
Please help me on this issue urgent,
P31: Query on CJI3 Report - Not able to identify the initial document posted to revenue cost element that is considered for PS Capex settlement
running the CJI3 report for different country entities I am not able to display some of the line items that has either order number/s or WBS elements. Guess this is due to the restricted access to some of the Plants such as AAAA and BBBB so on, but not sure. This report is a vital one to prepare the report that to eliminatethe postings done in Profit and Loss cost elements which is transferred to AUC through PS Capex settlement. Due to the incorrect display we are not in a position to completely eliminate the line items posted in the P & L that in turn result in capitalising the same twice.

Clear GR/IR Variances that settles to a closed capex

Hi,
I have an issue. We need to clear a GR/IR variance. Account maintenance was already done last year but the GR/IR variance still appears. Now we want to clear it using MR11 or F.13 or F-03. The problem is , this PO is assigned to a work order that settles to a capex which we do not want to re-open.
How do we solve this?
Thanks ,
Jograd

in F-03 you can selec the line item which needs to be cleared & click on the charge off difference & post to another P& L account. The GR/IR line item will be cleared off.

Error: Maintain settlement rule of the sender for a higher level WBS

Hi,
I dont want to maintain the settlement rule for a higher level WBS. How can i configure this in such a way that i dont get the following error:" Maintain settlement rule of the sender" while doing CJ88. Maintaing a separate Settlement profile for a higher level WBS is an option but we are looking if something else could be done The problem is that there are no actuals booked against, say, level 2 WBS but when i execute CJ88, i get the aforesaid error. How can i ensure that only the lowest level WBS ask for the settlement rule and not the levels above it. I have already removed the Investment profile from the higher level WBS but still getting the same error.
Regards,
DPil

Hi,
It is a type Capex WBS and Biling element is not checked. In fact i get a warning while doing the settlement: WBS is neither a billing element nor an account assignment element.
Diagnosis
WBS element is not indicated as either an account assignment element or as a billing element in the master record.
System Response
The WBS element cannot be assigned to an account.
Procedure
Correct your entries or add the missing indicator to the master record for the WBS element.
But this is just a warning. On pressing enter i get the error :Maintain settlement rule of the sender "

Message no. AW851
Diagnosis
During settlement of sender WBS DAMEPL 1.1.1.1 there was an attempt to settle a posting that has account assignment CAPEX / / (fund/functional area/grant) to an asset subnumber. However, the receiving asset DAML 000009000004 0000 does not have an asset subnumber with this assignment.

The posting on this sender cannot be settled to an asset subnumber.
Procedure
Either create an asset subnumber with account assignment CAPEX / / for asset DAML 000009000004 0000, or settle to a different receiver.
If this message appears as a warning only, then the posting from this sender is settled to the asset main number.

Afterwards with Transaction OBA5 insert the entries for the messages you want to customize, and set them to the error level the behaviour should be for your particular case.

WBS element is updated while settling cost from WBS to AUC

Hi Experts
At the time of settlement , when we settling the cost from WBS to AUC , WBS element is updated in AUC line item of accounting document , but it should not be updated actually.
As result AUC cost is loaded on WBS and budget of WBS is get affected , furthermore system is not allowing for MIGO even budget is available but in CJ30 it is showing assigned value is more then original budget.
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards
shailesh

Hi Saurabh ,
I totally agree with you , but in our case system is not allowing(Error Message: Budget Exceeded) MIGO against capex PO - > WBS.
Note : in our case , system is checking budget at the time of MIGO also.
in our case , report S_ALR_87013558 is showing wrong actual value and also in CJ30 , total assigned value is larger then total distributable budget , As result our available budget gets negative figure in report S_ALR_87013558 , even i have already run CJEN->CJBN 2 or 3 times.
Note: Our Commitment value is correct.
Actually , according to report S_ALR_87013542 , system is showing correct actual value , that means we have sufficient available budget for further MIGO's
Now may be , due to WBS element is updated in AUC line item of accouning document of settlement (WBS to AUC) , system loads AUC values to WBS unnecessarily , our available budget gets negative figure.
For your reference , i am attaching screen shot of accounting document which is generated at the time of settlement from WBS to AUC.

Settle the P&L expenditure (All the expenditure) to AUC Pending Allocation

Hi,
I am facing an issue in mapping of a scenario for settlement process. All projects of my client is in construction phase so they will not prepare profit and loss a/c. They will prepare only the Trial balance and Balance sheet .
All project related expenditure (CWIP) for this wbs are already maintained by the investment profile and also created the settlement rule being settled though CJ88.
Here my issue is how to settle the P&L expenditure (All the expenditure) to AUC Pending Allocation this is due to there is no Profit and Loss a/c (all expenditure need to be transferred to AUC Assets)
Guide me how to map this scenario in SAP.
Regards,
Pavan

Other than Capex expenditure like administration expenditure (salary,rent, hiring vehicle,out sourcing manpower and electricity etc) this expenditure also need to transfer though WBS to AUC Pending Allocation.
Hi,If these expenditures are maintained against separate WBS then you can settle it to an Auc initially and later you can make AuC to AuC settlement,you can also discuss with FI guy on this cost.
If these expenditures are incurring in the same WBS then it will also settle to AuC during settlement automatically.
Thanks.

Cost Centers & Profit Centers in PM Order Settlements

Dear All,
Can anyone please explain me the exact use of following Fields in the PM Order?
Additional Data Tab    -     Responsible CCt , Profit Center , Object Class
Location Tab             -   Account Assignment u2013 Cost Center
Settlement Rule         - Settlement Receiver (When category is CTR-Cost Center)
Also would appreciate if the explanation can be given on the impact on above in settling the Orders.
(CAPEX Orders as well as OPEX Orders)
Thanks & Regards,
Thushantha

Hi,
Additional Data Tab
Responsible Cost Center: - The responsible cost center is the responsible area for authorization check on internal orders.
This does not have to be the cost center to which the order settles its costs.
(ex The cost center "site office" is the responsible cost center).
Profit Center:- Operating results for profit centers can be analyzed using either the
cost of sales approach or the period accounting approach.
By analyzing the fixed capital as well, you can expand your profit
centers for use as investment centers.
Location Tab
Cost Center:- which belongs to Equipment Master or Functional Location. This cost will be comes under Account Assignment Category
Settlement Reveiver:- Its the set of cost elements which receives the Actual cost from the work order & transfers to the cost center.

Hi Radhakrishna,
Which order are you talking about here? Is it Plant Maintenance(PM) Order or Network Order?
If it is PM order, then it is likely to be OPEX and therefore, settlement would have to take place via transaction code KO8G.
If it is Network order, this is likely to be CAPEX and settlement would have to take place via transaction code CJ8G.
For the cost to flow into AUC, You would have to create assets with transaction code AS01 with the asset class AUC. Once the Asset is created, you would then use this asset number for the settlement rule that would be maintained on the WBS element which contain the order.
When the AUC asset is completed, you would then have to create a Fixed Asset and carry out Asset Transfer using transaction code ABUMN. This is how settlement is done from AUC to Actual Asset.
I hope the above helps.
Do not forget to award the points please.

SAP PS capex and R&D

Experts,
I am working SAP PS FLC.My customer currently has Capital And R&D projects so here are the recommendations I made :
1.Two different coding masks
2. specific number ranges to differentiate capital and R&D
3.General cost planning & detailed planning
4. approval process and budgeting
but, my conern is most of my customer R&D projects are also capital costs so I'm just wondering about the settlement recrivers
do I have to create different cost centers wrt to project or can I settle all costS( Capex and R& D) to same settlement receivers example cost centers
Any recommendations experts

Hi Srini,
Please check below thread, it might help you out to get some idea.
SAP PS budgeting Project without IM
Regarding your initial query, if you have only Capex better to have single receiver( Fix asset), but for a opex please settle to cost center which is recommended.
In our business, projects are expanded across several months & cost is settled to AUC(asets under constructions) in each month end, once project is physically completed we moved those AUC values to Fix assets then CLOSE the project.
Thanks & reg,
Sam.

Capex in SAP

We have a requirement to track and budget Capex exepenses. We have department wise budget for Capex in our company. When the Capex is approved by the management then the Budget should be used. We need to carry forward and transfer unused budget also.
Also, after the capex is approved we need to allocate assets for the capex.
Which module in FICO will fulfill this requirement.

hi
you have to create internal order type for each department
and assign the budget profile with tolerance limit
create internal order
create an asset
maintain budget - availabiliyt control activated.
release internal order -
do the purchase and have a control
assign the asset in the settlement rule.
settle the internal order.
