Classes in fixed assets

I want to change a claas for an existing fixed asset, I would like to know the procedure
Thanks
Denis Riendeau

I did found something, first setup the fixed asset mode to transfer in company detail. Then do a retirement with a document type SCRAPPING. Choose the asset you want to delete from the asset subledger. In transfer mode the system doesn't do any journal entry. You just have to recreate the new assets as you wish.

Can you accelerate depreciation on a whole class of fixed assets ?

Can you accelerate depreciation on a whole class of Fixed Assets, so that they are written down to final Residual Value in one go?

Hi Simon,
I know this reply is 6 years since your question but none the less, let me try and help resolve the query.
There are options of manual depreciation and write downs but they are for individual assets.
If there is a legal change that necessitates accelerated depreciation after a certain number of years, you may configure a new depreciation key having a multi-level method that can help here.
If the number of years of life for the asset class in question is not the same for all assets, you can configure two phases in the depreciation key. The phase changeover can be done using the standard options provided by SAP or by using the custom changeover methods using BADI or Exit depending on what business functions are activated in your system.

New user to Oracle 11i who needs help on creation of new fixed asset class

Hi all,
I am new to my Company who is using Oracle 11i. And the Company has a new class of fixed asset and a GL code has been created. But there is no link between the Fixed Asset Manager and the GL code, i.e. depreciation is not linked, additions are not captured into "Cost register", no asset number was assigned in Oracle. Please help.
Thanks,
Simon

Hi.
No, Simon, it does not work that way.
First, be sure that the distribution line has the flag "Track as Asset" checked.
Second, the GL Account to be used on the distribution line must be the one defined, in the FA Asset Category, as the Asset Clearing Account.
In FA, navigate to /Setup/Asset System/Asset Categories. Following, query a Category. There you can see which account has been used as the Asset Clearing Account.
You can use as many Asset Clearing accounts as you which, but normally, all Categories share the same account.
Now reverse the distribution line and cretae a new one with the correct account. Post it, run the Mass Additions Process and you will see the that the addition was created.
Hope this helps.

How to import Fixed Asset Master File

Hi all expert,
I used BAMasterDataImportFile to import the Fixed Asset. But the message as below appear :
"Import end;Number of successfully imported assets: 0;Number of processed assets:2"
After complete import the fixed asset master files still empty. May i know anybody can advise me for import fixed asset files?
Thank for help.

Eric Tan

Hi Eric,
Please refer your error with the possible reasons below (from SAP notes):
Error message: "Import End; Number of imported assets:0; Number of processed asset:2"
Reason: Note that there is no error. It is usually because of the conflict of Depr. Start Date , Use Life and Remaining Life.
The following is a list of possible errors:
1. Fixed Asset in Production Mode -- Make sure Fixed Asset is in Transfer mode before importing.
2. The number of semicolons for each line is not 66 -- For each line, each field must be separated by a semicolon(, the number of separators( should be 66. Number( = 66.
3. Wrong Date Format DD-MM-YYYY or MM-DD-YYYY -- The correct date formats should be : YYYYMMDD, YYYY-MM-DD, YYYY.MM.DD or YYYY/MM/DD
4. Asset Class unavailable -- The asset class in your csv file does not exist in Fixed Assets; make sure the used asset classes are defined in Fixed Assets before importing.
5. Depr. Type unavailable -- The given depreciation type does not exist in Fixed Assets, make sure the used depreciation type is defined in Fixed Assets before importing.
6. Depr. Area unavailable -- You entered data for a depreciation area that does not exist. If there are only 2 depreciation areas in Fixed Assets do not enter data for area 3 or 4.
7. Depr. Area is inactive for asset class -- You entered data in the csv file for an area that is not active for the given class in Fixed Assets.
8. Life parameter is negative or the remaining life is greater than planned life -- All life parameters should be positive, the remaining life should be less than the planned life
Life Parameters(Depr. Start Date, Useful Life and Remaining Life) are mathematically incorrect for one of the areas in csv. Remaining life = Useful life - (the difference between the first date of import year and depreciation start date). Note that it is not the difference between import date(the date you import Fixed Asset Master Data) and depreciation start date. You must calculate the remaining life correctly. For example, you want to import an asset in 2005, you import it on 2005-09-01 ,then the first date of the import year is 2005-01-01, Depr. Start Date = 2003-06-01, Useful Life = 60 months, then
      Remaining Life = 60 - (2005-01-01 - 2003-06-01) = 60 - 19 = 41 months.
      The following calculation is wrong:
      Remaining Life = 60 - (2005-09-01 - 2003-06-01) = 60 - 27 = 33 months
Import Fixed Asset for the current fiscal year -- The fixed asset master data import function is designed for legacy data importing. We recommend you to import fixed asset master in the past years. If you insist on importing an asset for the current fiscal year, make sure the depreciation start date is the first date of current fiscal year and the Remaining Life is the same as the Useful Life.
Year Values -- the sum of the accumulated depreciation (planned, unplanned and special depreciation) in the csv file is greater than the acquistion and production costs.
Also, don't forget to change the fixed asset mode to transfer. Administration>System initialization>Company Details> Basic initialization tab.
Hope this helps.

Fixed Asset Opening Balance

Hi,
Any idea to do (by import and manual create) the opening balance for fixed asset Mmaster data? Tried to search SAP notes or guide, only can find related topic on Import FA Master Data and not manual create of FA Master Data, and how to import the FA Master Data with belong to same Asset Type (same life-span) but due to purchase at different timing, now having different remaining life span).
Thank you.

Hello,
I am sorry for unclear answer. I did not mean that you have to develop addon.
after checking our client database, I see that one asset class will have same useful life and depreciation type which it means that different asset class can only the way to have different useful life (UL), and of course it will be different in depreciation type (DT).
For example : machine A : UL : 96, DT : SL12.5
land B ; UL 250 DT : SL25.
Hope you also could discuss with SAP support about this.
Rgds,

FIXED ASSET Note 113711 - FA ISR Depreciation Adjust. & IMPAC Balance Aver

Hi Gurus, I have a question about this note referent at Fixed Asset , in the next topic:
After release upgrade the import has to be repeated for the new
release.
Please take the transport from SAPSERVx, path:
~ftp/specific/latinamerica/MX/note.0113711
Directory note.0113711 contains the following transports files:
- For Rel. 3.0F and 3.1 please transport:
R900246.LD3 (data)
D900246.LD3 (cofile)
which will create the next objects:
DEVC ZAA Development class
DOMA ZINDE Domain for INPC value
DTEL ZINDE Data element for INPC value
FUGR ZINP Function group for table maintenance
PROG ZAAUFW01 MAIN PROGRAM
PROG ZXANLU04 Include with calculation logic
TABL ZINPC Table for INPC values
I don't understand the sentence :
"Please take the transport from SAPSERVx, path:
~ftp/specific/latinamerica/MX/note.0113711"
I don't know how connect at this server for download files .LD3.
that request the note 113711.
Thanks for the help.

Thanks for your answer Sreenivas, I have a doubt :
The first part of the note refered at release 3.0 and 4.0.
I have worked the version 5.0, and in the Note 113711 there is a paragraph that says:
"If you want to transport the INPCs values into the ZINPC table, please
AFTER having transported the previous files, transport files:
R900248.LD3
K900248.LD3
which contains the INPCs values since 1950.
- For Rel. 4.0B and after, please transport:
R900040.LD1
K900040.LD1
In rel. 4.0B and after, the program uses the INMA indexes tables. There is no need to create a table ZINPC anymore to maintain the INPCs values.
The Index that the program uses is the general one defined in the Inflation Method for the company code for FI. It uses the definive values of it."
My question is if I have download the files *.LD3 for release subsequent at 4.0 because I actually have worked version 5.0 of SAP R/3.
Thanks for your answer.

Fixed Asset failed to do a capitalization credit memo

Hi All
financial period April - Mar
I have this fixed asset capitalized on 1 May 2014, from A/P invoice at the price of 14,649.37. I have done the depreciation run for May-Jul (period 2 - 4). Now I want to do a capitalization credit memo on 1 Aug 2014 and noticed that it prompted me error even though I have just put $1. Then I tried to do an asset revaluation, realized that the NBV is negative now. I believe this is the reason why the cn is disallowed, but I have no idea why it has fallen to negative value. Please kindly advise.
At first I thought the quantity matters, because I didnt put "Consider quantity" in the AP invoice, so the capitalization which was created automatically has zero quantity. But later on I realized that I have other asset which has also zero quantity and has done depreciation before, yet managed to do a credit memo.
In the asset class, I set to SL1, but in the fix asset master, i changed to SL. I dont this is the cause of the error.
The (1627.76) is derived from the depreciation, 406.94 * 4 months (May, Jun, Jul, Aug) even though the depreciation for august has not been done yet.

Yvaine

Hi,
Please refer SAP note :

SAP fixed asset add-on. Not able to import master data using upload pgm.

Hi all,
I am trying to import fixed asset master data using an excel file into sap B1 2007a patch level 42. I am able to run the import transaction. It tries to process and then giving me a message ' Import end: Number of successfully imported assets: 0. Number of processed assets:2. We have looked at the event log file and couldn't find anything related to the upload. I have gone through other posts and didn't face this issue. Any hellp is apreciated.
Path which I am using to upload the fixed asset master master data: Administration --> Setup --> fixed asset --> import fixed asset master data.
Following points (see below) also taken into account while creating the master data sheet.
also replaced the ',' in the csv file to ';' before uploading and changed the fixed asset mode to 'transfer' in the administration --> system initialization > company detaills> basis initialization.
Thanks

Mandatory:     Item Code = Asset Class; this Asset Class must be previous defined in the Asset Settings (don't change/delete anything in the item-master data - there are the Asset Classes Z-00u2026. Are stored
     Description = Description of this Asset
     Capitalization Date = do it like this (YYYY-MM-DD). This columne must be a text format
     APC = Aquisition/Procuction Cost; when you have digits after coma please use dot for separation - don't use thousand separators; Example 23444.45
     Quantity = only mandatory, when you use the same assets stored under one asset number. Example you have ten equal chairs, so you can handle this with one asset number and quantity ten
     Dep01 = Depreciation area; this entry must be previous defined in the Asset Settings
     Depr Start date 01 = do it like this (YYYY-MM-DD). This columne must be a text format. The beginning must be the first of the month. Please compare it in this case with the capitalization date
     Useful Life 01 = calculated in months (not years)
     Remaining Life 01 = calculated in months (not years)
     Depr Type 01 = Depreciation Type must be previous defined in the Asset settings
     Ordinary Depr 01 = ordinary depreciation; this is the comulated value you can see in the asset history sheet from the old asset solution. When you have digits after coma please use dot for separation - don't use thousand separators; Example 23444.45
     Unplanned Depr 01 = unplanned/extraordinary depreciation; this is the comulated value you can see in the asset history sheet from the old asset solution. When you have digits after coma please use dot for separation - don't use thousand separators; Example 23444.45
     SpDpAcc1 01 = Special depreciation account; when you use special depreciations and you have it to balance on special accounts fill in this account. This is an exeption - in normal projects not needed
     SpDpKey2 01 = Special depreciation; when you use special depreciation you have to enter this cumulative value in this field. This is an exeption in normal projects not needed
     SpDpAccu2026 = for further special depreciation accounts; This is an exeption
     SpDpKey.. = for furhter special depreciation values; This is an exeption
Optional:     Vendor Code = when using this please be aware that the vendor code is previous defined in the system
     all others = you can use if you want. The only limitation is the type/length of these fields
     When you are ready with your entries mark from the first free row on for instance the next 20 rows than right mouse key - delete rows. This is necessary to prevent that in the background are invisible signs
     After entering in this default excel all your assets, please save it as .csv file. (the grey message - relation to information of csv - please say yes; when you close than excel a furhter message - would you save.. - please say no now
     After entering all data please save it as .CSV file. First grey window (format information) please choose 'yes'. Second window (when you close this file) please choose 'no'.
     You have now a .csv file in hands right now for uploading into the fixed assets.
     This example you can use for a test-import based on the year 2004

The issue was because of the conflict of Depr. Start Date, Use Life and Remaining Life. After I corrected the data, it worked just fine. The note 876670 helped me to resolve this issue. Thanks to Adam at Toronto SAP Business one support for his expert analysis and suggestions.
thanks

Steps in after migration of fixed assets in SAP R/3 System

Hi Guru's,
I migrated all fixed assets from legacy system to SAP R/3 system. Dev,Quality and Mock Production Server.
Could anybody guide me what is the next process in Fixed Assets?
That would be greate help from our Guru's
Regards
Odaiah Pelley

Report S_ALR_87011964 will be able to give you a report by Asset Class.
In terms of the data you have migrated, I am guessing in your current system there is a way to get the same data and therefore you should compare.
Another check is the total posting you have made to the GL Data Migration account is the same as the total balance in your current system.
FS10 will give you this.
Lastly you can also use FS10 for the asset recon accounts if they are grouped in a similar way in your current system.
The business lead should be able to help you with the data they have and how they could reconcile their data.

CJ88 Issue - Periodic settlement to a fixed asset

Dear partners:
We are facing troubles because of this situation:
I am trying to make a periodic settlement using CJ88, but then appears error AA834. It only happens with one external activity linked to a purchase order with an advance payment. With other activities which have a periodic settlement to the same definitive fixed asset and no advance payment, there is no problem with the operation using CJ88.
Please excuse me if I am not being clear, I am an engineer and it si very difficult for me to talk about financial stuff even in my first laguage!
Best regards,
Diego C.
Edited by: diegofca on Feb 18, 2010 4:34 PM

Hi,
Please check whether you have defined in transaction code OAYB for "Transaction type group" 15 (down payments) the asset class of the affected asset You are posting to in settlement (normally this is the AuC which You can derive from the settlement rule->from there You can check the asset class). You might receive the error on in settlement as indicated in the long text for the exact transaction group. Normally for transaction type group 15 you have to define all AuC classes to run settlement properly.
Hope it will be helpful for you.
best regards, Takashi

GL balances are not matching with Fixed assets ledger

Hi,
Please suggest me regarding this...
The issues is:when the legacy balances are uploaded in to sap there was the mistake.3 assets were entered twice(once in asset class 1250 & once in asset class 1300).It causes the GL balances are not matching with Fixed Asset balances(GL is less than FA).so now the client is asking to make manual entry by removing the recconcilation account settings and post manual entry then keep the reconcilation account as usual.They wanted to reverse the accumulated depreciation for the above 3 duplicated asssets for year 2007 & 2008.
How can i achieve the below:
1.GL balance was not equal (i.e lower) to FA ledger even at the time of go live(FI is lesser than FA)
2.For this i need to post one manual entry in FI-GL with the GO-LIVE date.is it possible? suggest me how to post?
3.After that i need to reverse the accumulated depreciation for the above 3 duplicated assets.how can i do this?
4.After that i need to remove the above 3 duplicated assets,how can i?
Please help me by giving your thoughts regarding this
Thanks
Sap Guru

Hi,
It is possible to post the adjustment entry from go live date provided you open the posting periods for the pervious year. (However this approach is not recommended for the following reasons - you have closed the books and must have published the results to local authorities. Adjustment now in the past year can cause some trouble from auditors etc. Secondly you are adjusting the GL balance for the last year, so you will have to complete the period end and year end closing for GL balances. So avoid kindly it)
For your problem - Go to transaction code OASV and post adjustment entry for the current period. Also check if your field status of assets contain field for shutdown of assets. If not change your field status accordingly. Once adjustment is done you shutdown the asset so that it does not post depreciation in future depreciation runs. (this will cater to your need of eliminating the assets. If you retire the asset then you will have to deal with gain or loss on retirement of an asset. If you can accommodate this entry, then you can use this figure in the final adjustment entry.)
Or Go to transaction code OAMK and set the recon account to post the adjustment entry.
Reversal of depreciation is not possible in SAP. So the only way to reverse the accumulated depreciation is by changing the recon account or using OASV, and passing adjustment entry.
regards
Thomas

Fixed Asset and G/L reconciliation

Dear All
Can anyone help me with how best to reconcile the fixed asset module with the General Ledger. Is there a guideline or process on what reports are best used and how to do this.
