Country specific Dep Area

Hi All,
If there are two depreciation areas say 01 and 10 and 01 dep. area is my Book Dep area and 10 dep area is my country dep area.
So now when i run the dep posting, should the dep be posted to both the dep areas.
I am aware of how to configure this technically, but i need to understand the process - how do we post the dep in the country specific dep area.
Thanks and regards,
Ankur

Hi
As SAP only one depreciation area can be real (posting) and other depreciation area are normally for reporting purpose. But, we ca have a derived depreciation area which is deemed as real depreciation are which can be posted.
Like
Dep - 01
Dep - 10
Derived depreciation is suppose 51 which (DA-01 less DA-10)
In this case you can deem depreciation area 51 as country specific depreciation area.
Thanks

Stop Depreciation for a specific Dep Area

All
I am able to stop depreciation for a specific period. My requirement is to stop depreciation for a specific Depriciation Area -01. My client has 4 dep area's (01,02 & ..). Depriciation has stopped in both the depriciation areas (01&02). I had activated Asset shut down and increased the useful life only for Dep Area 01 & not Dep area 02. Both Dep Ar. 01 & 02 use the same Dep Key. Client requirement is Dep has to be stopped for a specific period and specific Dep Area(01). I had stopped dep for a specific period but this has stopped for both the dep area's (01&02)..
Is there a solution to the above. Please let me know if any.
Regards
Sekhar

Check by marking indicator D-Default value from company code and depreciation area in definition of depreciation key in AFAMA.
Thanks and regards

ESS Personal information country specific services

Dear Guru's,
We have set up the following country specific services (Dutch = molga 05) for the Personal Information Workset in ESS:
- Adresses
- Bank relations
- Personal Information
While testing these services for two persons the following situatin occurs:
- Person A: has parameter MOL 05 set in transaction SU01 and uses ESS portal role.
- Person B: has parameter MOL 05 set in transaction SU01 and also uses ESS portal role.
Als the country specific services are defined to the country speficif resources.
While trying to change the record in infotype 2, 6 and 9 for Person A using ESS all the procedures are succesfull.
While trying to change the record in infotype 2, 6 and 9 based on the date of today for Person B the systeem gives back the following error:
"record 00001101 0009 0 with date x has group value "" instead of "05".
(pernr) (infotype) (sub) (date previous record) (MOLGA)
This seems to be strange because both users have exactly the same profile in ECC and Portal.
Also the application seems te have a problem with the limitation of the previous record since the system says that that record has group value " " instead of "05"
Since this is the last problem we face in ESS we could need some help.
Kind regards

Hi,
This issue is because of data inconsistency. In se38, the report RPUFIXDS should be run to fix this.
This can be run for a single personnel number or a range of personnel numbers.

SAP support for country-specific legal requirements

Just wondering if anyone could clarify how does SAP support work for the country-specific legal requirements. I'm sure in every country some new laws come to life regularly that affect the SAP customers and their ERP systems.
Case in point - on July 1st Mexican authority SAT decided to ask businesses to send them some XML files with some GL account information ('Anexo 24' - see the announcement in Spanish here). The deadline for the first file submission is October 2014.
This clearly affects every single SAP customer in the whole Mexico, as well as potentially many North America customers who have manufacturing facilities there. So would it be reasonable to expect SAP to come up with some standard solution? XML file extraction doesn't seem to be incredibly complex to me (although I might be off).
Another question - how would the customers know that SAP is aware of new laws and is taking some action? Could there be an announcement posted somewhere? There is a website for SAP Latin Americabut the latest announcement there is from June and nothing else is on the home page except for the HANA ads. (My Spanish is limited to "dos cervezas por favor", sorry if I missed something.)
In absence of such communication, naturally, the only option the individual customers have is to send a message to SAP. And that's where SAP replies with a copy/paste text (we got the same exact response as another SCN member here):
Feel free to maintain this incident opened, but contact us in the next three weeks, then we will be able to confirm if this legal requirement will be supported by SAP.
I'm confused - "IF"?! This is a legal requirement, there is no "if" for the business. Let's see if I got it right - we wait for 3 weeks, then SAP decides "nah, not gonna support that" (by the way, why is it on the customers to contact support again?) and every SAP customer in the whole country will have to scramble their own resources or pay for consulting (on top of SAP maintenance fees) to deliver the same exact set of programs on their own in under 2 months?
It could've been just an unfortunate choice of verbiage by Global Support, but I'm curious - is this really how the support for legal requirements supposed to work?
Thank you.

Hi Jelena,
Having been part of the SAP Globalization Services in Brazil, I understand a little bit of that process.
A few comments:
1) Localization of SAP solutions to country-specific regulation is under the responsibility of an area called Globalization Services. You can find more info about what they do here:
http://service.sap.com/globalization
2) Typically, those country-specific requirements are discussed in much details on the local ASUG chapters (at least that's how we did it in Brazil). That's why it's usually hard to find material in English, but I'd say that your local IT/Biz people in Mexico should be regulars in their local ASUG meetings, specially if they have a specific chapter to discuss Localization matters.
3) I found out this note with more specifics about "SAT Anexo 24".
http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/2041490
Apparently SAP is still analyzing it.
Suggestion if you want to speed the analysis up: reach out to your commercial contact in SAP.
4) Regarding your statement about the time it takes for the analysis & delivery to take place.
As an SAP customer, you have all the right to complain about the service level you're getting, it's just that, having been on the other side of the table, I know some facts that sometimes may be taken for granted. For example, SAP do not have infinite maintenance resources. I do understand that all customers pay maintenance and need to have their demands addressed, but SAP does not have a bench of developers available for whenever a new demand appears. If there is a new demand, they need to estimate the efforts and accommodate it into the development resource planning.
5) From a legal perspective, there is a difference between Legal Change and New Legal Requirement. The latter, if differing too much from the initial purpose of the acquired software, might not necessarily be required by the Software provider to be fulfilled within the maintenance scope. I'm not saying that it's the case for this Mexican requirement, I'm just saying there is this possibility, generally.
My personal recommendation: get your local Mexico people to be closer to the SAP Mexico team. They are usually responsible to publish information about such local requirements and the SAP release plan.
Hope that helps.
Best,
Henrique.

Why are HP printer cartridges country specific? Is there any way around this?

I have just moved from the UK to Newfoundland, Canada and I have brought my HP PSC 1610 printer with me. I was advised not to bring any cartridges with me because they would explode during the flight so I had to buy new cartridges upon arrival.
I noticed that the cartridge numbers recommended for my printer were similar but not exactly the same but the (HP, etc.) websites I looked at did not mention that HP printer cartridges country specific.
In the UK black cartridge is an HP338 (C8765EE).
In Canada the websites told me that the black cartridge is a 94 (C8765WC).
I ordered a 94 cartridge (which took an indordinate amount of time to be delivered) and when I installed it my printer would not accept it ("not intended for use in this printer" error message) even though it fit perfectly. I looked at the packaging in greater detail and noticed that I had been sent a 94 (C8765WL) and I also noticed (in a very small font size) "for sale only in Latin America".
My questions are therefore:
1) Why are HP printer cartridges country specific?
2) Is there any way around this? Eg is there anything I can do to my printer/ laptop to tell it to accept this cartridge?
3) Are 94/ C8765WL cartidges compatible with 94/ C8765WC cartirdges? Ie did the supplier sell me something that couldn't be used even if I had a Canadian HP PSC 1610 printer?
4) Can I return the cartridges to the supplier given that it is based in Canada, they delivered it to me in Canada and yet they sold me a product that says "for sale only in Latin America"?
Thanks
anenglishmaninsaintjohns

You will need to Contact HP to request a "Regionalization Reset". There should not be any charge for this, it is covered as part of the cartridge warranty. You will need to have access to your computer and printer while on the line with HP. You will also need to have a set of cartridges for the new region, once the reset is complete cartridges from the original region will no longer work. HP's web page on the subject is here.

While doing actual settlement through KO88 for CWIP asset settlment, one error is being occured as "There is an error in the specifications for area 01 in ch.of dep.
Message no. AC385
Diagnosis
You specified that depreciation area 01 should take over values or depreciation terms from itself. This specification is incorrect.
Procedure
Correct the specifications for area 01.
Best Regards,

It seems you have kept 01 as TTr in OABD for depreciation area 01
If the 01 is real depreciation area, do as below
Go to OABD
Depreciation area - 01
TTr should be 00 (You should not keep anything other than 00 here)
Thanks

How to call the country specific application depending upon Pers area

We are using ess / mss on EP 7 and back end is ECC 6.0    .
Our requirement is
Though in R/3 for all employees country grouping maintained for all employees is 40 (India), As per project requirement we need to pull country specific screens for employee in portal depending upon the personnel area of logged in employee..
We need to pull the respective countries page based on the personal area of employee.

Hi Rajendra,
There is something called Internationalization of WebDynpro Iview. Refer this concept. When you will implement and import those packages in program at that time either languages will change automatically location based or u can put if() condition to make the things workable. But more important things will start supporting your IViews.

ABZO Posting with T Type 100 By LSMW ( with Dep areas restriction)

Hi Gurus
I have few hundreds of Assets that are created before the Activation of New dep Areas. Now i have to updated the Acquisition costs to those 10 and 11 Dep areas only. I am able to do the update the acquisition costs to Asset master by ABZO tcode with restricted T type 100 for 10 and 11 Dep areas manually But i have to do it by LSMW process with BAPI method, But ended up in the following error message.
Posting with transaction type 100 is not possible here, see long text
Message no. AAPO177
Diagnosis
Transaction type 100 has a depreciation area limitation, although posting is not mandatory in all of the depreciation areas entered. However, it is not possible to select depreciation areas in the current transaction.
Procedure
Check the specifications for transaction type 100 or use transaction LSMW to enter the transaction.
Please guide me the procedure to fix this issue.
Meenakshi.N
Edited by: Meenakshi.Nakshatrula on Jun 21, 2010 4:35 AM

ABZO - Tcode,
100 - Transaction type
Assets - Non AUC assets
Mistake is when i am recording the Session i haven't correctly determined the Depreciation areas. That lead me into error message.
I was able to do it successfully by Batch input recording method instead of BAPI.
Thanks

Using Country Specific Chart of Account in addition to Operational COA

Dear Team
We are implementing 16 company codes with Group COA A002 and
Operational COA A001 across all companies. Out of 16 Company codes 4
company codes already went live and running successfully. We are also
using one controlling area and operating concern for all company codes.
Out of 16 company codes there are 2 company codes from Turkey and
requires Turkey Country specific COA to be used mandatorily. But we
would like use same COA A001 for Turkey company codes in order to use
one Controlling Area across group which is not fulfilling the legal
requirement of the Turkey. We would like to use Country specific COA in
addition to the Operational COA and the same will be assigned to the
Company code in OB62.
In this case we need to create GL Accounts under Turkey COA and assign
the same in the Operational COA as alternate Account no.
In this case can we meet all the Turkey country specific legal
requirements as given below through Alternate GL Accounts No?Turkey Legal Requirements:
1.Country Specific GL account numbering
2.Reflection accounting
    - Monthly Closing for Expenses Accounts
    - Yearly closing for Expenses and Balance Sheet accounts
3.Inflation Accounting- Presently not using
4.Country Specific Reporting
5.Bank accounting- Bills if Exchange
6.Print out of Transactions in Turkish language
7.Cost of Sales statement
8.Document Journal
9.Taxes on Sales & Purchases
Please help in this regard.
Thanks in advance
Ravi Nalluri

Hi,
1. Create country COA in OB13
2. Assign it to your company code in OB62
3. Create GL accounts in your country COA
4. Assign country GL account to your operating COA gl account(FS00 > Control data > Alternative account no.)
5. System doesn't allow you to assign country COA gl if already has the balance
     So, change message settings accordingly in OBA5
6. You can see financials from your country COA also as F.01 & F.08(Select Alternative Account Number)

Group and country specific acc in operating coa

hi,
the same chart of account is shared among countries in the same region. there are 3 kind of gl account, example for sales account : 50000000-51999999, I50000000-I51999999 and L50000000-L51999999. they in the same coa but different acc group.
also no assignment done in ob13 and ob62.
i will assume I for group and L for local but both of them not in group coa and country specific coa but in the operating coa.
1) may i know what is the difference for this as compared to account sitting in individual coa (group and country specific)
2) what benefit of this kind of coa design as compared to different coa ( group and country specific)
3) as all are sitting in operating coa, if i want to post to, say, L50001000, if different coa, then i will post to 50001000 then in the assignment will have the corresponding L50001000 account. this L50001000 will be posted automatically.
but now all are sitting in the same coa, does it mean we need to define in the transaction explicitly when doing the posting?
thanks

Remove Payment Method Country Specific

Hi Gurus,
Is it possible to delete unnecessary Payment Methods in FBZP specific for one country?
What are the impacts if this is removed if any?
Any input is welcome
Regards
Roger

Hi,
Deletion is possible.
But, why do you want to delete them?
No effects if you delete them but later some time if you want to maintain, you ahve to maintain all the settings like PM classification, required details & PMW.
Better not to delete.

Report on country specific CoA

Hi All,
When trying to pull the report from S_ALR_87012282 for country specific Chart of Accounts, we are getting the following error:
"Company codes and charts of accounts entered are incompatible"
Here are the steps we did:
1. Assigned operational and country specific chart of account to ABCD at OBY6.
2. Created 2 accounts in operational chart of accounts. XXXXXXX & YYYYYYY
3. Created 2 accoutns in country specific chart of accoutns.XXX & YYY
4. Assigned XXX as alternative account to XXXXXXX and YYY to YYYYYYY
5. Posted a document using these accounts in F-02.
6. Ran a report to display the details w.r.t country specific CoA (S_ALR_87012282)
Here is when I got the error.
Can anyone please let me know what I am missing here..
All answers will be duly rewarded.
Thanks,
N

Hello
I am not sure if I understood your question right, but this is what I presume.
Yes, when you post to XXX a/c, the data is transferred to XXXXXX also.
There is no special validation, but enter XXXXXX in the master data of XXX a/c in the field ' Alternative account' in the control data.
Assuming the country specific chart of accounts would be using a seperate FSV, execute the report to check if the balance is transferred in the currency you desired.
Compare both financial statements, Assume you have seperate FSV for operative coa / country coa.

Posting overhead expenses in country specific Non leading ledger only

Overhead expenses pertaining to the consturction of Fixed assets need to be be capitalised as per Indian Accounting standards. But at the same time according to IFRS standards the Overhead capitalisation is not acceptable. I want to know whether there is any kind of trasaction or customisation to post these overhead expenses such that they appear only in leading ledger and the Non leading ledger of Country specific only and not in IFRS set non leading ledger.

Country-Specific PO SmartForms

We have a standard PO SmartFrom for US, MX and CAN. Due to legalities in CAN, they want their "Terms and Conditions" as part of the PO print-out (SmartForm). If we create a CAN specific Form, how does the system know to use this for for PO's with CAN vendors? Are there any such settings? Or what is the recommended solution to such a requirement. Thanks!

Hi,
Try this.
Create a new output type which has the country or purchasing org ...
Then assign that output type to the output determination procedure..
WHen you create the condition records for the output type..
In the communication you can specify the smart form name..
Assign the country specific smart form name for each condition record..
Hope this works..
Thanks,
