Changing an asset from non depreciating to depreciating

Good afternoon,
We have an asset which, when created, was non-operational and was created with depreciation key 000. We now need to change the depreciation to the key ZDEP (which is straight line depreciation) from 01.04.2009. Get error message "E662 SYST - you cannot change the depreciation periods"
We think that if we changed the day indicator against 000 to be the same as that against ZDEP it will correct the problem.
Is this the correct solution - if so then what are the implications of existing assets with key 000?
Have you any other solutions?
Many thanks
DCoutts

Hi,
Better way to handle these kind of issue is....
Create a new asset with ZDEP dep key.
And post a asset transfer transaction with ABUMN. (from old asset to new asset) on 01.04.2009.
then check the asset explorer for the new asset, after posting the transfer transaction.
Thanks,
Srinu

Change WBS element from non-statistical to statistical

Hi all,
In the control tab of a WBS element, I am trying to change it from non-statistical to statistical. However, the checkbox is grayed out and not allowing me.
I have tried using transaction CNMASS for this but I am getting error CJ727: Changing the contents of the field is not permitted
How can I resolve this?
Thanks,

i guess you have released the wbse. so system will not allow to indicate the statistical check box. as per standard you
have the indicate the check box before you release the wbse.
if you haven't the wbse then check the field status of statistical in opuk.

Transfer Asset from Non Depreciating Asset Class to Depreciating Asset Clas

Change materail master from non-split valuated to split valuated (E M3 194)

Valuation category cannot be added in the accounting 1 view when stock is available in the previous period. Is there a way to overcome this?
This is the situation. We have stock materials that are not defined as split valuated until the business requires so. Valuation category cannot be added in the accounting 1 view if stock is available. In this case we issue the stock out, add the valuation category and then return the stock again as split valuated now. However, we still get error M3 194 since we have stock available in the previous period.
Thanks.

Hi,
I did not find a solution to allow you to change split value back and forth. The SAP check is hard coded and there is nothing you can do about it. However, I found a trick to be able to change it back and forth.
1. Compare your stock figures in this period with the previous period (MM03 accounting view).
Previous period: 20 EA; value $200; MAP $10
Current period: 12 EA; value $144; MAP $12
2. You need to receive/issue stock in the current period to make quantity and value the same in both periods. We have configured special movement types (copy from 501 and 201) to allow pre-priced movements. You only need to make the amount field required for these new movement types.
In this example execute a 501 (use the custom movement type) to receive in the current period 8 EA with a total value of $56. After the movement this is what you have:
Previous period: 20 EA; value $200; MAP $10
Current period: 20 EA; value $200; MAP $10
Accounting: Inv +56
                  Exp -56
3. Make sure you allow posting to the previous period.
4. Issue stock out (201) using postind date in the previous period. After the movement this is the situation:
Previous period: 0 EA; value $0; MAP $10
Current period: 0 EA; value $0; MAP $10
Accounting: Inv -200
                  Exp +200
5. Change your material to split value or non-split valued (MM02)
6. Receive stock back in this period. You need to use the pre-price movement type. Receive the quantity and value so you have the same quantity and value you currently have in stock. In this example we should receive 12 EA with value $144. After the movement this is what you have:
Previous period: 0 EA; value $0; MAP $10
Current period: 12 EA; value $144; MAP $12
Accounting: Inv +144
                  Exp -144
Hope it helps.

How can I change adapter engine from Non central to central

My adapter engine is assigned as non central. However I want to have the adapter engine as part of the integration server.
If I look in the RWB, the adapter engine listed under the non central adpater engine. However I would like to move it under the Integration server Engine.
Can this be done or do I have to reinstall XI to get the adapter engine grouped with the IS.
Currenty componenets under the domain I have:
1) Integration which has Integration Engine, busines process engine and Mapping runtime.
2) Integration engine are blank, nothing underneath
3) non central adapter engine
my adapter engine here
4) j2se adpater nothing underneath
4) Tools
So what I want to do is move the Non central adapter engine to be underneath the Integration Server.
Any ideas how to do this....withoout a reinstall?

Changing default alert from None to 5 minutes before

Hello all,
Is there any way to have all my new Calendar events have the Alert option default to alert 5 minutes before?
Thank you so much for your time.

I've never found a way to do this either, and find it very annoying. The suggestion given in this forum does not work (for events created from the iPhone's calendar); that setting seems to be limited to the iCal on the computer itself. If you find (or have found) a solution, please post it. Thanks.

Changed Material from non-batch to batch-managed

Dear Gurus,
Could anyone advise on the steps that I need to perform in order to change the material from non-batch to batch-managed in the material master?
There are stocks being captured in current month and previous month
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Batch management for existing material can not be done if it has stock and value.You can keep stock value NIL (By reversing) and then proceed with batch management.Batch Management you doing means , you just subdividing the material according to its characterstics of material.
The Customisation steps are:
1.Create Characterstics,
2.Create Class,
3.In material master, select classification view and tick batch management
4.Go to Logistic General->Batch Management->Batch Det and back Chk->Condition table-> Define Inventory Management Condition table
4.2 . Like wise Define Acess Sequense,
4.3.Strategy Types,
4.4.batch Serch Procedure,
4.5.Batch Srech Procedure and allocation,
4.6..Condition Record: Logistic->Central Function->Batch Management-> Batch Determination->Batch serch Stratergy->For Inventory Manament-> Create
Once you do all customising steps,Then you can receive the material as per you requirement.Example....Lets say H2SO4,you are receiving 98%,70% and 50% purity.According to you requirement and supply from Vendor you can keep in three different batches.This characterstic of material you can maintain in creating the characterstic ,,step-1.

After AFAB, I've changed depreciation key for an asset from 20% to 0%

Hi All,
I've posted depreciation (AFAB) for periods from 01 to 04 (Depreciation Area 20).
Later I've changed the depreciation key for an asset from 20% to 0%.
In my test SAP allows me to update depreciation data only in the period 05 (for previous data).
Is there the way to repete the depreciation posted in the periods from 01 to 04!
Cluo d anyone help me??
Thanks

Rossi,
Since you have already posted the depreciation for the periods 01 to 04, the system assumes that there are no postings pending for those periods and hence shows the recalculated depreciation in period 05. But you can do the repeat depreciation run using AFAB transaction code. You can try them for period 04 and the entire depreciation posted till 04 will get charged in Period 04 itself.

Transfer assets from one asset class to another having different depreciation keys.

Hi Gurus,
     I am a noob in FICO, and I am facing a problem while transferring assets from one asset class to another.
Below is the scenario.
I created two assets 100000000000-0 under asset class 4690a and 200000000000-0 under asset class 4690b. And I am trying to transfer the
asset from class 4690b to 4690a by selecting the option ‘New Asset’ in the transaction ABUMN. While doing this, I am receiving an error message as below.
'Posting with trans. type 300 not possible (No acquisition posted).'
     Message No. AA324.
Diagnosis:
     Transaction type 300 belongs to a transaction type group, which can only be used to post to assets to which posting has already been performed. However, no postings have been made to this asset.
Procedure:
     Use a transaction type from a transactio type group, which can be used for the first acquisition to an asset.
The error is related to the transaction type which I hadn’t explicitly created anywhere. But, when checked in transaction AO76, the transaction type 300 belongs to the transaction type group 30. In this group I am not able to find any solution related to the error.
Moreover, in some of the threads in SCN, I read that modifying the transaction type group might lead to something fatal.
Kindly help me in the below.
1. What exactly the error message is related with?
2. Is there any other method to transfer the asset to another class?
Please let me know if any further details are required regarding the scenario.

Hi ,
I understand that you want to transfer the old asset to new asset with different asset class with different depreciation keys and the old asset is not yet capitalized and does not have any Asset Values.
Assuming that since the First Asset is not yet capitalized, that seems to be that its just that ASset Master is created and no Asset Values appear in the Asset.(in other words no acquisition, capitalization, no dep. start etc.)..
Alternatively this asset can be advised to be blocked and flagged for deletion and create a new Asset in the new Asset Class and then capitalize the new asset by doing the acquisition according to the business process i.e. either via PO based process(GR) or Non PO based process.
The transfer of asset is required incase the old asset still have the values and you are transferring the old asset to new one with the left over values.
Also would request you to kindly share some screenshots of the AW01n of the old asset and screenshots of the AS03 to have more idea on it and provide a better solution to the same..
Warm Regards,
Vineet

Is it possible to change the asset value after depreciation posted for 4 months

Hi
Is it possible to change the asset value from 50000 to 60000 after posting the depreciation for 4 months.
If it is possible kindly share the process..
Thanks
Srikanth KVS

1. In the explorer page, settings dialog, you can change the display format to show only name.
2. We cannot use other freeform attribute as DisplayFormat, rather than Code Name. So there are 2 option here:
a. Remove HierarchyName attribute and just use Name attribute. In the next release, we will allow give Name, Code attribute a displayname, so you can give Name display name as "HierarchyName" in the SQL Vnext release.
b. Make a Business Rule to update Name when HierarchyName is changed.

How to exclude an asset from depreciation

At end of audit for March 2014, a part of an asset was reduced and charged as a period cost. Financial year was opened to post this transaction and was closed after it was posted. It was posted in an asset class which depreciates at 20%. The client does not want to depreciate that asset as that was posted on the last day of the year. I have two questions regarding this transaction: 1. Is there any way to exclude only a part of an asset transaction? Per my knowledge, as it is a part of an asset class, removing depreciation key is not a possible solution. 2. Should they post depreciation in repeat run as depreciation for 11 periods is already posted?

Hi Pravin,
It is complicated now. Please share your system release and are you using new or old depreciation method. (Is EA-FIN Active)
If i were you, In test system i will try to post a document with reversal value, in current period with current posting date, but try change the "Asset value date" in line item field, using AB02.
Than check if system is reconsidering the asset depreciation amount for whole year in current period. (execute AFAR, on specific asset and check if change happens)
I hope that shall work.
Than you can make the required adjustments in appropriate periods per audit concerns in P& L or B/S accounts.

Link-Group Asset Class, Depreciation Area & Depreciation Key

Dear Experts,
I am new to FI-AA Customization & have a basic query about Group Asset Concept.
I am working on Ecc 6.0 & for Country India.
I want to create Group Asset for calculation of Depreciation as per Income Tax Act. Hence there is just one Depreciation Area (for Group Assets) , but the Depreciation keys are different. E.d IN1, IN2 etc. (Country Version India)
Now the questions are :
1) Do we need to create different Asset Class for different Group Assets or to create just 1 Asset Class for all Group Assets.
E.g. I want to calculate Depreciation As per income Tax Act on Gross Block of Building, Furniture & Fixture, Motor Car, Vehicles etc. So I need to create separate Group Asset Class for each one of above or just to create one Group Asset Class.
2) If we need to create just one Asset Class for all Group Assets; how to maintain a Depreciation Key in OAYZ as there are more than 1 Depreciation Keys?
3) is there any other method / functionality to calculate Depreciation as per income Tax Act or Group Asset is the only functionality?
Thanks & Regards,
Reshma

Dear,
Reshma.
Looking at your Questions let us take explanation for Group Assets :-
1 ) We need to create new different asset class for Group Class in OAOA. Then permit the depreciation area for only Group Asset in OAYM as it is in your current scenario India is Depreciation Area 15 Just select your company code in OAYM and check the Grp Asset field for respective area 15. Then go to OAAX here we have to maintain the assets classes particularly for Group Assets. So check your Group Asset classes for Group Assets. Cerate different Group asset classes for your said requirement.
In these depreciation areas, it is then possible to make an assignment to a group asset. You make this assignment in the specifications for the depreciation area in the asset master record. When you post an acquisition to this kind of asset, the system duplicates the line items from this depreciation area on the given group asset.
2 ) According to me you have to create different depreciation keys for Group Asset classes. Assign the Depreciation keys to your newly created Group Asset Classes in OAYZ and make sure you are deactivating 01 area which is Book Depreciation area.
3 ) As far as I know this is the only functionality available to handle Group Assets. How ever SAP does not have any standard Group Assets functionality. SAP does not supply asset classes to be used solely for group assets. It is we have to determine as per varying Business Process.
I hope this will clear your doubt makes you to understand. Please revert back for further clarification. Welcome you.
Regards,
Pankaj A Bhalerao.

Asset Fiscal Year End Closing - Depreciation not posted completely in 2010

Hi Experts,
I have an issue concerning AA 2010 year end closing, since there is one asset which depreciation in 2010 was not posted completely, meaning that we cannot close 2010 fiscal year.
This happened because of the following situation:
Vendor Incoice was posted in 30.12.2010, with a document date 31.03.2010 (meaning that for this asset the depreciation calculation start date was 01.03.2010). Then, in 30.03.2011 someone post the reversal document, with posting date 31.12.2010.
So for this asset I donu2019t have any depreciation posted in 2011 and no values in depreciation book, for the asset, meaning that even if I change the depreciation calculation start date for 01.01.2011, it will still be necessary to run depreciation in Dec.2010.
However I cannot run depreciation for this asset for 2010 because it will have impact in 2010 balance sheet, which cannot happen.
Do you have any ideas to solve this problem?
Thanks!
Best regards,
Andreia Nascimento

Hi,
As i have already suggested you for the [SIMILAR THREAD|Re: Asset Fiscal Year Closing not possible], which you have only posted in FI forum, there is no other alternative than running the repeat dep run for FY 2010 for period 12.
Please do not cross post your questions.
