Change of existing assets class description

Hi Friends,
I have a query and the details are given below:
We intend to change the existing assets class description.
Is it possible!
What is the impact of such changes?
As per my observation / opinion, we cannot change the asset class description after configuring the account determination and the other transactions were carried out.
Is it correct? Can any one advise me pls.

Hello
Asset classes have some default parameters.
Description can be changed any time.
This data is at header level and does not impact transactions.
You should be able to change it.
See if you can change the description at table level, check Table ANKT or ANKA

  • I want to create an asset and add to existing asset class,

    Hi
    I am creating an asset builing,  and adding to asset class,  and when i am using the trans code: AS01 it showing an error , Customizing, inconsistency -Missing / incorrect  and entry in the table TO93B i am not able to understand what has to be done.
    and annother issue is
    i am using transacion code: f-30 , there r two customer,the company is dealing with ie: oswal and some X company , in 2004 they made for eg: 10000 down payment, and they have raised invoice for 5000, and remaining 5000 its showing as due amt, as it has to show advance amt.
    its showing an error, Consolidated companies TEIL and ' ' are different and  its also describing that the affiliuted company must be clear for the selected document type, in this case atleast town different companies  or a company in connection with a business partner who does not belong to a compnay are stated.
    i am not able to undrstand the meaning of it

    Hi,
    i think you need to check the Depreciation area setting for the company code. I think that one of the setting is missing. Please check whether you have done the following :
    Determinging the depreciation areas in the Asset class
    Specifying Max amount for the LVA Assets
    Hope this should solve your issue on the assets.
    I could not understand the issue on the F-30. It would be better if we can have the exact issue description.

  • Changing an asset class determination account

    I have an asset class numer 233 this class has a determination acount numer 1 configured in its class master record. One asset was created using tx as91 with this class and 6 months depreciation was run (tx AFAB).
    Now I need to change the asset class account determination from 1 to 2. Is this posible ?, how ?.

    One you have assets with postings in an asset class you can no longer change the account determination.
    As an alternative you can create a new asset class with the correct/new account determination.  Than you can transfer the assets from the existing asset class to the new one using transaction code ABUMN.  If you have many assets to transfer than you can use the mass change functionality.

  • Asset Class change.

    Hi experts,
    My client want to change asset class of existing asset? Please explain me the procedure?
    i.e : my client is having asset class '1000' and all assets are created by using this asset class.  Now they want to create new asset class say '2000' and change some existing assets from '1000' asset calss to '2000' asset class.  Please suggest me now can it be possible?
    Regards,
    Sam.

    Hi Samiuk,
    It is unfortunate that SAP does not allow changing asset class directly in asset master and only by asset transfer (ABUMN) for this purpose. Although new fixed asset number will be assigned following the asset transfer to new asset class, the original asset number will also be transferred automatically and can be found under 'Origin' tab in the respective asset master.
    Report 'S_ALR_87012058 - List of Origins of Asset Debits' can be used to display the relationship between the new fixed asset number and the original asset number.
    Hope the above helps.
    Cheers,

  • Asset class - GL

    What is the meaning of Generate Asset Classes From GL
    Accounts.
    Kindly can any one tell me what is the meaning of this in
    detail.
    Thanks
    Nag.

    Hi
    This is WIZARD and can do all settings here.  Check the below notes available at nod.
    Generate Asset Classes from G/L Accounts (1 to 1)
    In this step you generate:
    Asset classes
    Account determinations
    Screen layout rules
    Number ranges for the assignment of the main asset number
    These objects are generated in a 1 to 1 relationship to your asset balance sheet accounts. The system enters account determinations, screen layout rules and number ranges in the asset class as control parameters.
    Note: Carrying out this step is not mandatory. Generating your asset classes from your G/L accounts is an optional step you can use to simplify the creation of asset classes. If you want to define asset classes without the help of your G/L accounts, use the step Define asset classes. You also use the "Define asset classes" step to copy asset classes. Copying classes is useful for adding to your asset classes, if you generated asset classes from your G/L accounts using the current step.
    You define additional account determinations, screen layout controls and number ranges (if needed) in the section Organizational Structures.
    Requirements
    You must be able to enter all your asset balance sheet accounts.
    Standard settings
    SAP supplies example asset classes.
    Note
    This processing view has 7 navigation levels. The first navigation level is the overview screen containing the generating function. The next 6 navigation levels are detail screens for this overview screen. You have to work through all of the detail screens before you can start the generation of the asset classes in the first navigation level.
    The first detail screen (account selection) has to be processed first. There is no hierarchy for the remaining detail screens (no detail screens for the prior navigation level). They are not dependent on each other. You can work through each of these screens independently from the other.
    Activities
    A Wizard guides you through the different navigation steps. Asset classes are not generated until you save.
    1. Enter your chart of accounts and the chart of depreciation.
    2. Select all G/L accounts that are APC balance sheet accounts.
    3. The system prepared an account determination for each APC account, with a description that is the same as that of the given APC account.
    Add to the account determination by entering the corresponding accumulated depreciation account for each account determination.
    4. Enter accounts for expense, ordinary depreciation, and asset retirements for all account determinations.
    In a later step, you can change these accounts for each account determination.
    5. The system created a number range interval for each APC account.
    Change the number range intervals as needed:
    a) Change the limits of the number ranges.
    b) Specify whether the assignment of the main asset number should be external or internal.
    SAP recommends internal number assignment. You could define the number range intervals, for example, so that the first characters of the asset number agree with the first characters of the APC account number.
    6. The system created a screen layout control for each APC account.
    When the APC account has a number that is at most 5 characters long, the system automatically assigns the account number as the key for the screen layout control. If the account number has more than 5 characters, you have to enter the 5-character key for the screen layout control manually. Select the field groups that you want to be optional entries in the asset class.
    7. The system created an asset class with the same name as each APC account.
    Add to the asset classes:
    a) Specify the type of the asset class (asset under construction, low value asset with or without collective management, no special class type).
    b) Specify the default depreciation key and the default useful life for each depreciation area. You can add to this information for more depreciation areas in a later step.
    Caution
    You can use the function for generating asset classes more than once. The system uses the following logic when you do so:
    First, the system checks whether the company code is already in production status. If it is, then the system creates, based on the G/L accounts you have selected, only asset classes, account determinations and so on that were not yet created. Any existing asset classes are not changed; nor are they deleted and created again.
    If the company code is not yet in production, the system checks whether assets already exist for the existing asset classes. If not, the system deletes the existing asset classes and generates them again.
    If assets do exist, the system checks if there are also transactions for the assets. If there are no transactions, you can decide which of the following you want to do:
    Delete all asset classes and their assets, and generate them again
    Only add new asset classes
    If transactions exist for the assets, then you can only add new asset classes. In order to completely regenerate all asset classes, you first have to reset the company code (under "Production Startup").
    When you choose the "New start" function, the system does not delete any Customizing objects that were already created (asset classes, and so on). This function simply resets the internal working table for this transaction. This means that after you reset, the transaction is returned to its original state (state the first time it was called).

  • Screen layout control while creating the asset class

    Hi friends,
    I am trying to create the new asset class by copying the existing asset class.  As the time of creation i have changed the new account determination and screen layout rule.  While saving the system is giving error message that - Screen layout control .... does not exist.
    How to overcome the above issue.
    BSR

    Hi
    SAP standard provided certain specific screen layout based on asset class.  please select the correct screen loyout based on your asset class.
    Let me know, if the probelm not solved yet,
    award points, if problem resolved.
    Best regards,

  • Asset Class Transfers

    Hiya,
    We are currently going through a major change in our asset classes, therefore I need to transfer a number of existing assets from one asset class to another. Please can someone let me know how I would do this from start to finish??
    Thanks-

    This you do with the transaction:
    ABUMN - Transfer within Company Code
    When you search on this forum with ABUMN you will found how this is working and the possible problems.
    Perhaps you have to make some additonal cistomizing settings (like copy rules), in the part Intercompany Asset Transfers
    When there are some assets you can do it manual, otherwise you can create an Simple LSMW for it.

  • Extending existing assets to another depreciation area

    hi
    We have some assets that have been created in depreciation area 01 already and have been in existence since last five years.
    Now the requirement is to show these values also in another depreciation area 22 wef 1st Jan 2011.
    For example here is a sample list
    Asset     Class     Description                                   Model                                              Cost center                                              Cap.date                                              Aquis value
    1100224     1000     icecold     nissan     CCDN7410     12/31/2010     2,754,042.00
    1100517     1000     ice cold     nissan     CCDN7410     1/28/2011     895,036.00
    What is the best way to get this done?
    Please advise.

    Hi K. Gunasekar
    It is not possible to tranfer assets from one depreciation area to another. Please ask and understand the requirement from the client for such a thing.
    It is intracompany asset transfer that we use usually in such cases. But inter-business area transfers are not possible.
    Still, you can read more on transfers here > http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/4f/71e876448011d189f00000e81ddfac/frameset.htm

  • Number Range for Asset Class

    Dear All,
    We are going to develop a new asset class for the internal purpose. I can dvelop all the scenarios but my concern is how to do the number range?
    Because, our system is already under live and now we are going to create the new asset class and new number range.
    As I understand that for transporting the number ranges, we have to do manual tansport and assign the transport ID. In the taget system, first we have to delete the existing number range and import the transport.
    But in our production server, already some number ranges are being used for existing asset class.
    How should I do transport the new number range to the production server as already functioning?
    Please also tell me what is the table name for Asset number ranges.
    I request you to all, please give your values
    Regards,
    Ran

    Dear Ranesh,
    It is better to create the number range directly in the production system. The path for the creation of the number range is
    SPRO > Financial Accounting (New) > Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) > Asset Accounting > Organizational Structures > Asset Classes >  Define Number Range Interval
    Assign points if useful

  • Urgent! How to change Asset Class in Asset Master Record

    EMERGENCY CALL!!!
    Hello,
    My customer has created asset with wrong asset class.
    Is there any chance to change asset class in master record, and if not please explain how to delete existing one and create new asset with right asset class.
    Note: the values are already posted to this asset
    Regards
    Amina

    1. Asset class cannot be changed anymore in asset master record.
    2. You cannot delete an asset which is already posted
    Solution for your problem:
    1. Create new asset with the right asset class.
    2. Do transfer asset using t-code : ABUMN from old asset (wrong asset class) to the new one (right asset class).
    Hope it helps

  • Changing AUC Status on Asset Class

    Hi Gurus,
    We’ve have a few asset classes in our production system where the “line item settlement” has been selected, however, these asset classes are not AUC. These asset classes are not very ‘active’ and not many transactions occur in these classes throughout the year but we’ve come across some scenarios where we’ve tried to acquire assets through these classes using transaction type 153 (affiliated company, gross) and we’re getting error message because these asset classes are incorrectly categorized as line item settlement (i.e. open item managed) so we have made the decision to correct these classes and change the AUC status to “No AUC or summary management of AUC” in OAOA.
    My question is in your experience have you’ve ever come across similar situation, what should I be testing or what processes I should follow to make sure the existing assets in these asset classes are not negatively impacted.
    Any recommendation or thought would be much appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    if you don't have transaction do the changes if you have transaction it's quite diffcult to change status however we can do the table level change it works.
    do the changes in Development client and test it.

  • HOW TO CHANGE THE USEFUL LIFE FOR MORE ASSETS AT A TIME FOR ASSET CLASS

    Hi All,
    Asset which is under Asset Class Support system-B700. Here every thing is ok but the problem in USE FULL LIFE which is come by default. It must be 4 instead of  5.   So can any body help me out from this how to change the Useful life in that Asset class.  In that Asset Class we have the morethan 200 Assets. It was happend in Prdocution system so now the problem is where i can change the useful life for the asset class either in DEV or PRD.
           Also i want to know the information of How these assets are Uploaded into the system (Lsmw or etc). this is very urgent for me.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Regards,
    Siva.

    Hi Ashok,
         Can i know the reason how it was happend. i mean instead of 4 years the system showing is 5yesrs any reason is there behind that.
    Thanks in Advance.

  • Transfer of existing assets to new asset class

    Hello Experts,
    We are working in a one-year old implementation of SAP ECC 6.0. A need has raised which is forcing us to transfer an asset with some Depreciation areas (we are currently working with ten areas between Real Depreciation Areas and Derived Depreciation Areas) to a new asset belonging to a new asset class with fewer areas.
    We created the new Asset Class and tested in the quality environment using transaction ABUMN. An example was transferring an asset with two months of depreciation already posted and transferring this one to the new asset at the beginning of the next month.
    The main issue is that we desire that the original asset keeps posting depreciation for the areas that are not transferred. Unfortunately, in our tests in the quality environment we have not accomplished this, what the system does is transfer the values to the new asset and then when you run transaction AFAB the new asset does post depreciation in the fewer areas that the Asset Class it is assigned to has but the original asset does not post any depreciation in any area.
    We tried maintaining the Transaction Types for Transfers that were used by the system by deselecting the 'Deactivate fixed asset' but it did not work and then we tried creating our own Transaction Types but this also was of no use.
    Hope you can shed some light into the issue!

    Dear Sankar,
    Thanks for such a quick reply. I have already considered that (SAP forcing you to transfer the whole asset) as a possibility. Unfortunately, as I have already mentioned here at our implementation we need something like this to happen.
    Let me elaborate. For the fiscal Depreciation Areas we are required to keep the original information on the asset so that the depreciation that is calculated does not change but conversely for the other areas we desire to change the depreciation that is calculated and posted (for example, some assets will suffer a change in the useful life others might merge into one big asset, etc.) but what we definitely need is to keep the original information in the fiscal areas so we can keep reporting that and therefore can keep paying the correct amount to our local tax authorities.
    As I mentioned before I have already considered that as an option. So what we thought was duplicating the assets (through a mass charge of all our assets with the current values), then transferring the 'clones' to assets with fewer Depreciation Areas (we will eliminate the Fiscal Areas since this new assets will be only useful for the non-fiscal depreciation calculation which is the one that will change).
    To sum up: the clones will not generate depreciation because when transferred they will be worthless. The assets they were transferred to will generate the non fiscal depreciation.
    And finally on the original assets we will deactivate the non-fiscal Depreciation Areas so that these assets continue to calculate the fiscal depreciation.
    I would really appreciate your opinion on this strategy or if you think it is a bad or incorrect strategy I would appreciate even more an advise on this matter.
    PS. a little doubt now also strikes me: what is the "Deactivate Fixed Asset" in the Transaction Type definition for?
