Conversion of Inventory to Capital spare

How should we account for when inventory or mill stores are converted to a capital spare. The client wants to transfer the cost of a specific item in inventory to an asset and call it a capital spare.
That said they do not want to use asset transaction type 100 as it is not an acquisition and would not like to show it as part of the Plant property and Equipment.
How should this be accounted in SAP.
Thank you

Hi,
I think is the best to create a new asset class for it with his own account signments.
You need 100 (1**) to do the aquasition what you can copy 100 to Z00 and give it an other name

Decimal conversion of Sales Tax in 'SPARE PARTS SALE INVOICE' ( smart form)

Hello,
I am displaying a the value of the Sales Taxc in 'SPARE PARTS SALE INVOICE'. (in Smart Form)
The field(which holds the Sales Tax value is 'KWERT' -LBBIL_INVOICE-IT_KOND ), with datatype 'CURR', reference table 'KOMK' and reference field 'WAERK'.
In my smart form,i have declared a variable 'SALES_VALUE' of datatype 'KWERT' and reference field 'IT_PRICE-WAERK' (LBBIL_INVOICE-IT_PRICE), where 'WAERK' is the SD document currency.
Now when i display the field 'SALES_VALUE' i get 735.00 , whereas the original value in the field is 73.5
how to correct this and where am i wrong ?
Thankyou for yur time and really appreciate the help.

You are using currency fields that reference a currency code. Most currencies in SAP have two decimal places. Dividing by 100 will work in most cases. Ideally you should get the CURRDEC value in table TCURX for the currency you are working with... then divide by 10 that number of times.
example-
USD, 2 decimals, divide by 10 twice.
There is a function module that will do this for you. Can't think of the name...???

Asset accounting and Inventory management.

Hi gurus, I need your advice.
We want to control our inventory and our fixed assets in order to be able to match the amounts between both modules. The main difficulty is that not all the items we register into the inventory module generate a fixed asset (we have sixty thousand inventory items and seven thousand fixed assets).
The way I have thought to solve it is the next: currently we have and asset class per Fixed Asset GL Account. I want to create two asset classes per GL Account, one for the fixed assets that are into the Inventory Module and other for the Fixed Assets that aren´t in the Inventory Module.
Do you think it is ok or do you have a better/easier solution??
Many thanks in advance.
BR//Alberto.

Since you mention there is an inventory module, and there is a fixed assets module - consider that the two are very different.
Inventory is merchandise for sale. When its costs are recognized, those costs are recorded as costs of sale or costs of goods sold. Inventory can be purchased or it can be constructed, but when we sell the items to customers we recognize both the revenue and the costs at the same time. The gross margin is the net gross profit or loss. Inventory has no depreciation.
Fixed assets are capital assets used by the organization to do the things the firm is in the business of doing. The tools used to build/construct inventory are capital assets (used in more than one year). Fixed assets will not be sold as a main purpose of the organization. Only inventory is sold as a main purpose of the organization to earn a profit. Since fixed assets benefit the organization for more than one year, we spread the costs over all those years in which revenue is generated by the fixed asset use. This is the matching principle to recognize costs when the revenue is recognized. To achieve this, we use the AFAR and AFAB depreciation process to spread that APC value across all periods that will benefit from the "tools."
I think you are already using MM for your inventory module. There can be different classes of inventory just as there can be different classes of fixed assets in SAP. Each class has its own reconciling account. Each is its own subsidiary ledger/listing of items that sum to the balance in the reconciling account. Subledger transactions will automatically update the reconciling account balances for the class - whether we are talking fixed assets or inventory.
I hope this can help, since it sounded like the terminology was confusing. Neither SAP or accounting is simple. Regards

EURO Conversion in Slovakia

This thread is created to discuss solutions, issues and feedback related to conversion of local currency in Slovakia to EUR at 01/01/2009.
Preferred language of discussion is English. Slovak language is tolerated.
All replies by SAP will be in English; with summary in Slovak.

Dear Partners,
I would like to summarize several tips and recommendations from the testing of the Euro Conversion tool until now:
Summary of the steps needed for EC tool run:
Installation of the tool (version PL3,4,5):
1) It is necessary to uninstall the previous version of the tool in Windows (Start - Settings - Control Panel - Add/Remove programs)
2) Install new version
Source company:
1. Run the SQL queries to fix the paths and attachments.
Target company:
1. Create target Slovak localization database from the source database - checked checkboxes to transfer UDF and UDT.
2. Set LC = EUR
3. Set SC = EUR
4. Set decimal places for Exchange Rates = 5
5. Set method for Exchange rates = Indirect
6. Define manually paths for Attachments
Tool:
1. Connect via Connect screen and start use the tool
OR
1. Connect via Connect screen and then exit the tool
2. Start automatic run
The full details see in the How-To-Guide for the EC tool.
Other:
BSP:
If the BSP is activated in the source database (Administration - System Initialization - Company details - Accounting tab) it is necessary to activate the functionality in the target company manually by checking the respective checkbox.
This would allow to successfully transfer of the BSP setup from source to target database.
Dunning levels and Dunning terms:
The field "effective after" was not mandatory in version 2004 C. However in version 2007 A the field status is changed and should be filled in order to successfully transfer the Dunning levels and Dunning terms.
Down Payment Clearing account
The G/L account on BP Master Data was not mandatory in version 2004 C. However in version 2007 A the field status is changed and is mandatory.
For certain customers it might be a problem to update all Business Partners Master Data manually so for mass update of the fields it is required to create CSN message to GSC with request to correct database because of the preparation of the database for Euro Conversion.
Inventory accounts definition:
Some of the accounts for accounting entries for posting of stock relevant transactions changed the status to mandatory accounts, for example: Expense account OITW.ExpensesAc
Sales credit account OITW.ARCMAct
For certain customers it might be a problem to update whole definition of inventory relevant postings manually so for mass update of the fields it is required to create CSN message to GSC with request to correct database because of the preparation of the database for Euro Conversion.
Step operation mode:
The step window for each step contains one of the following three data transfer actions as well as other information:
u2022 Transfer updates: For each run, the tool transfers the updates relevant to the transferred data and delta data from the source company to the target company.
u2022 Transfer delta data: For each run, the tool skips the existing transferred data in the target company and transfers only the delta data.
u2022 Replace all data: For each run, the tool removes all the previously transferred data from the target company and transfers all the data from the source company again. If you update the transferred data in the target company, rerun overwrites the previously transferred data. We recommend that you do the updates in the source company before you rerun the step.

My question in order to develop the above reports is it required to create opening balance in BW using the datasource 2lis_03_bx or i can use directly the data source 0fi_gl_06.
Please provide inputs on these
Regards
Pavan Kumar Prakhya

Hi,
Inventory Datasources(2lis_03_bx,..) are not suitable for this
I think you have to look at the either GL cubes or Asset cubes.

AA transfer posting

What is the standard way to post a transfer in AA.
For exqample for the conversion of Mill stores to capital spares...
I would like to know which transaction code to use and what transaction types to use.
Thank you
Siva

ABUMN and ABT1N is used to transfer between one asset to an other asset within a compnay code and between company codes.
But in this case they are trying to convert warehouse stock to a capital spare(asset).
they want to see transaction type 300 instead of 100 whne doing the entry but SAP is not letting us do that.
Is there any transaction code and type that can be used to achieve that.
Thank you

Problem with project stock valuation class

Dear All,
We have an issue regarding the Revenue Inventory and Capital Inventory. There is a certain balance amount which should be in capital but system is showing in Revenue and vice versa.
The reason for this is that when the material was created, in some materials the main valuation class was 3032(Project) and in some it was maintained as 3030(revenue). But project stock valuation class was not maintained.
Now the problem persists in the G/L balances, the G/L of project stock (132006)displays some amount of revenue(132000) and vice versa.
We tried to maintain the project stock valuation class (3032) for materials for which the main valuation class is 3030 (Revenue),but still the G/L for revenue (132000) is getting hit.
At the end, the requirement is that G/L for revenue (132000) should hit when revenue procurement is there and G/L for capital (132006) should hit when capital procurement is there.
Kindly suggest the way forward.
Regards,
Harsh

Thanks Venkat, we have thought of the same as a last stop but there are hundreds of materials which has this problem and there would be many open documents for them.
If anything could be suggested other then this, and I wanted clarification on one more point that the materials for which main valuation class was 3030 and later we added 3032 in project stk Val class but after maintaining it. When we procure(Capital procurement), it is still showing the balance in G/L 132000(Revenue).

Harsh

Hi Every,
Need Help Urgent
I had created a Generic data source with function Module as the data source, in Rsa3 it is working fine.

Status in Step by step analysis is every step is green Except "Data selection successfully finished ?" (RED)
2-> Then I had seen the Back ground job in Source system which is executing still. I waited for it for a long time but nearly 30 min.
(I had done Steps one and 2 number of time by activating replicating the data source and so on, but still their is no change in it)
3-> Then I had canceled that back ground job with the help of BASIS (as i feel that it is something going wrong).

Message no. KD503 - Complete allocation structure K1 for Internal Order

Hi,
During Internal order settlement through KO88 I am getting this error as :
Message no. KD503 - Complete allocation structure K1
Diagnosis :
During settlement, the system puts the sender debits into groups (assignments), which are settled using the same settlement cost element. The settlement assignment is made in the allocation structure, which is stored in the settlement rule for the sender (under settlement parameters). Cost element 430500 cannot be assigned to a settlement cost assignment in allocation structure K1, and therefore it cannot be assigned to a settlement cost element.
Procedure :
    Possible solutions are as follows:
    o   If the posting under cost element 430500 was made to the sender because of an incorrect entry, and you can reverse the posting, and do not need to update the allocation structure. You only need to reverse the incorrectly assigned posting before repeating the settlement. Exception: For an investment measure with a line item settlement, you need to extend the allocation structure, even after the reversal.
    o   If the posting was made correctly, you can do the following:
a) You can assign a different allocation structure to the sender: In the master data maintenance for the sender, choose
    "Settlement rule -> Goto -> Settlement parameters" and then enter a different allocation structure. If necessary, also check whether the correct allocation structure is entered in the settlement profile. The allocation structure is defaulted in the settlement profile when you create sender master data or when you maintain the settlement rule.
-   You can update allocation structure K1
The same configuration in Development Server there is no error but problem occurs in Quality server. Here the process is Internal Order creation - Creation of Reservation through MB21- Goods Issue against reservation through MB1A and finally settlement through KO88. During settlement this error occur. In configuration setting of allocation structure under Internal Order I have mentioned only revenue settlement (as per business) against assignments. Under source mentioned cost element group and under settlement cost elment Receiver Cat is "CTR" and tick "By Cost Element".
During MB1A i.e, goods issue accounting entry is generated as
81(Dr). 430500 Constimptuion Saprae and Stores
99(Cr). 310411 Inventory Machinery and Spare.
During settlement this debit figure should credit. But not allowiing to credit. Even in configuration under settlement cost element if I remove the tick of "By cost element" and mention secondary gl account whose cost element category is 21, still showing the same error in QA server. What may be the probabale solution ? Even if i remove allocation structure K1 from settlement profile 20 still same error exist. How this link gets during settlment inspite of removing allocation structure from settlement profile...
NB.. COPA is not implemented in our company. So PA structure should not arrise here....
Thanks & regards,
Samrat
Edited by: Samrat Roy on Aug 30, 2010 7:28 PM

Hi Samrat,
The issue is very simple.. Cost element 430500 is posted in your IO...
While settling you have 2 options... Either you can credit the original GL account 430500.. This happens when you tick "By Cost element".. This you have done already...
2nd option is not to tick "By Cost element" and assign a secondary cost ele category 21...
But for any of these options to work, you have to include GL 430500 in the "source"... The above 2 options apply only to those GL accounts which are mentioned in the "Source".... for rest of the GL accounts, system gives this error
Include 430500 in your "source" cost ele group.. Error will be resolved

Unit of measure EA allows transactions in decimals ? Is EA indivisible?

Unit of measure EA allows transactions in decimals ? Is EA indivisible?
There are two scenarios. While creating a Bill of material - based on the configuration (see below) if you enter a quantity with decimals for a part number for which the Basic UOM is EA the system displays a message "Unit of measure EA does not support decimal places" THIS IS GOOD AS EXPECTED
While transacting using MB1B, MB1C, MB1A, MFBF, MIGO or other transactions the system DOES NOT check and it is currently allowing us to post with decimals (1.25, 1.312) for part number for which the unit of measure is EA.
Was not EA supposed to be an indivisible unit of measure? why is the warning message getting activated while creating or changing a BOM and why not while transacting stock?
We have configured EA in the CUNI transaction as follows:
Int. meas. unit      EA
Commercial           EA              each
Technical            EA              each
Decimal places
float. point exp.
ISO code             EA
                                      Primary code
Numerator            1
Denominator          1
Exponent             0
Additive constant    0.000000       X Commercial meas.unit
Decimal pl. rounding                 Value-based commt
Unit of meas.family

you cannot restrict this behaviour with CUNI customizing, you can only check and stop this in a user exit.
SAP inventory managment allows and stores 3 decimals for any unit of measure. You can only define how it will show the value to the users and how it will round the decimals if it calculates the conversion. But if you enter manually with decimals, then SAP will not round this.
please read OSS Note 931971 - Decimal places in stocks and stock postings
and
Note 77525 - Quantity unit conversion in inventory management

Period accounting vs Cost of Sales accounting

Hello all,
Could someone explain to me the difference between Period accounting and Cost of Sales accounting? Where is period accounting configured in ECC 6.0?
I am trying configure PCA. The client wants the Profit centers to be setup product-wise. They have 3 products: a) a handheld GPS device, b) the accessories for the GPS device, c) and the subscription. I have setup 3 profit centers according to the 3 products.
Does either cost of sales accounting or period accounting come into the picture in my scenario? What I mean is, do either of the two methods have to be configured? And if so, why?
I have read in some places ("Configuring FICO" by Hurst & Nowak) that preparing PCA to accept actual postings can be very simple or complex. On the simple side, all that is required is to activate the fiscal year control parameters, create the proper document types, and define the necessary number ranges. For more complex solutions, additional account assignment may be maintained, and internal goods movement can be defined.
My client is just looking for a plain vanilla implementation of PCA at this time. Does that affect whether we use period or COS accounting?
Thanks in advance! Points available.

Period Accounting
In period accounting, the performance of a particular business unit (profit center) - that is, its revenues, changes in inventory and capitalized services - is set off against the total costs of the period. This occurs at the G/L account level and adheres to the formal structure of Financial Accounting. This gives you a uniform structure of report data and lets you reconcile the data of cost and financial accounting on the basis of cost elements.
Hope this helps.

Restricting access to system queries

Hi experts!
Is it possible to restrict access to system queries (in SAP reports) for a particular user?
Also, can we restrict inventory reports generated to a certain item group only for a particular user? example: item groups available are Spare Parts, Raw Mat, WIP & FG. The user should only be able to generate inventory reports concerning Spare Parts.
thanks.
regards,
tessa

Hi Tessa
You can restrict Access to System Queries by providing NO AUTHORIZATION to the option Saved Query - System.
The same can be set under
Administration --> System Initialization --> Authorizations --> General Authorizations --> Reports --> Query Generator --> Saved Queries - System
Hope this helps.

Where is Asset Hierarchy in EAM analytics?

Hi Gurus ,
I am working on Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) Analytics.
In EAM analytics, we have two types of asset...
1) Rebuildable inventory
2) Capital
In EBS forms, Asset type "Capital" is Parent of Asset Type "Rebuildable inventory"...
Now i am trying to find this hierarchy of parent- child in OBIEE Rpd... All that i find is the Asset Number column containing both types of Asset.
Any idea if somebody has worked on it...
