Creating asset under construction

when i try to create asset under construction with the asset class 4000(asset under construction) i am getting the below error
Number range 40 not in the number allocation range
Message no. AA203
i checked in the trans code- OAOA also but i have already assigned 40 as the number range in it.
please help me with this issue..

Check the diagnosis for the message. It will clear your doubts.
Also check the procedure of the message, there you will find the link (AS08) to maintain the number range.

Steps to create Asset under construction

Hi All,
Can any one pls explain me whats diff b/w normal asset class and AUC, and even provide me the steps to create AUC. (what are the GL acc assignments to be done)
It's urgent. pls help me...
thanks,
sravanthi

Dear sravanthi
For Normal Asset, We create an Asset in AS01 and we assign Depreciation area and depreciation is calculated.
For Asset under construction, SAP Provides a Seperate Asset class in As01 and no depreciation is calculated on this asset.
Fixed asset that is in the process of being completed at the time the balance sheet is being produced.
Assets under construction are shown as a separate balance sheet item for the enterprise. Assets under construction can be managed for bookkeeping purposes in the FI-AA component using asset master records in special asset classes.
To also benefit from management accounting functions that go beyond the asset accounting level, you can use capital investment measures in the Investment Management (IM) component. Investment measures can be managed in the form of internal orders or projects
For Steps to create AUC Refer to SAP Best Practices

Asset under construction in internal order

Dear All,
can any one tell me how to create Asset under construction in internal order...
Suresh patipati.

You must have a separate asset class for Asset Under construction(OAOA) with line item settlement selection.
Create an asset(AS01) under AUC asset class
Then create internal order through KO01 and in Settlement rule mention the
Category as FXA
Settlement Receiver: AUC Asset
% as 100% or as you require
Save the entries.
Now enter the capital expenditure using this Internal order. After you finish with the postings settle the internal order(KO88). On Settlement the values are transferred to AUC asset from Internal order.
Now use AIAB & AIBU to distribute and Settle the AUC asset values between Main asset(s). Here also in the settlement rule you must enter the settlement receivers.

Error in dep run - Asset under construction

Hi!
Could someone please help me with the following:
My customer has a large amount of assets under construction (AuC) and also other assets. None of the assets under consctruction should have a depreciation key (or depreciation key 0000) and no depreciation accounts are allocated in transaction AO93 for AuC . But my customer now has incorrectly created a few AuC (that should NOT be depreciated at all) with depreciation key LINK. What happened?
1) Test run depreciation (AFAB) for all assets in period 1 during 2010. In test run no error log was created, everything looked fine.
2) Executed depreciation in background.
3) When looking at each of the assets in transaction AW01N I can see that all assets (both real assets and AuC with depreciation key) has depreciation posted in period 1. BUT, no depreciation has been posted in general ledger on any of the asset classes!
4) I have now changed the depreciation key on all AUC in AS02 to 0000 so that no depreciation will be calculated.
5) Trying to run AFAB again for period 2 but error message says that period 1 was terminated and that period 1 should be restarted.
6) Trying to run period 1 again in AFAB with restart but error message says "Account 'Acc.dep. accnt.for ordinary depreciation' could not be found for area 01" and refering to all of the incorrect AuC that I have corrected (to no depreciation key)
Please how can I go on? I want to reverse the depreciation in period 1 since I didn't get any posting i the general ledger. And then I want to make a new depreciation run only with correct assets (only depreciation on real assets, not on AuC).
Please help!
I am very thankful for any help!
Many many thanks in advance!

Hi,
I had the similar situation couple of months back. I followed below mentioned process and it worked out well.
1) Maintain GL account for depreciation in AO90
2) restart depreciation run for the relevant period
3) change the depreciation key to 0000
4) repeat depreciation run for the same period (It will post a reverse entry in the same month itself. So the net impact of depreciation in the same month is zero).
By the way I have a suggestion to prevent this issue in future.
You may not be able to detect this issue on test run if you execute on foreground mode because the test run execution is restricted to 1000 assets. If the error is on 1001th asset, you will not know.
Hence, always execute depreciation test run on background mode, check for any errors and execute production run only if there are no errors.
Hope this helps....

New Depreciation Area in Asset Master Data, for assets under construction.

Hi,
The issue is relating to New Depreciation area. We have created new Depreciation area as 80=IFRS. We had followed three steps
1. Create Depreciation area via OADB.
2. Activate Depreciation area via OAYZ.
3. Automatic opening of new depreciation are via AFBN and program RAFABNEW :-
3.1 u2013 Indicator: Leave values initial = ticked. Set this indicator if you want to open the newly created depreciation area without any values i.e. blank.
In this we have find that the old assets value has been copied. But when we are doing internal order settlement through KO88 i.e. from pre-cap to AUC we are not finding new Depreciation area 80=IFRS in AUC. We had checked in AW01N.
Letu2019s assume that creating a new deprecation area is normally not required since these assets are not depreciated. But During the final settlement, the new depreciation area should also automatically supplied with values from the reference depreciation area from the AUC(assets under construction) in the completed assets. But we doesnu2019t find any values of in Dep Key = 80 IFRS for final assets.
In Assets Class of AUC we had used Investmnet Measure as Status of AUC.
Kindly provide solution for the same.
Nikhil

Check Transfer Variant 5 (under Transactions->Intercompany Asset Transfers->Automatic Intercompany Asset Transfers->Define Transfer Variants):
5     Investment measure settlement
Your Transfer Method is most likely 1 now (without transfer to dependant areas), change it to:
4     Gross method with transfer of values to dependent areas
This should help.

Asset under construction-IM module

Hi,
I am planning to manage the asset under construction (AUC) by the PS module. This means to create the AUC through the WBS element, and finally settle to the final asset. For doing that I understand that the asset under construction class should be created as an investment measure.
I am asking if it is necessary to implement the IM module to manage the AUC by PS module.
If it is not necessary which is the difference of having IM implemented?
Regards,
Cecilia

Hi Cecillia,
To answer your questions:
You need to define specific asset class for AuC (status of AuC "investment measure" in OAOA)
You do not need to "implement" IM by creating investment programs but what technically make a internal order or WBS element an investment measure is the presence of an "investment profile" in their master record that will pilot the creation of the AuC. Investment profiles are defined in transaction code OITA that can be found of the IM part of the IMG
I second Ajay comment regarding the use of WBS elements (PS) vs. internal orders (CO) as investment measures: PS offers a lot more possibilities and options than CO but the set up, maintenance and daily use is much more complex. Take the time to consider both options.
Good luck and best regards
Thomas

WBS Elements and Asset Under Constructions have different Cost Centers

Hello Experts,
We have created a WBS element in one of the projects.
As per standard process, when we create the WBS Element the Asset under construction is also getting created through the settlement rule within the WBS.
These assets should have the same Cost Center as the WBS has. However we are in a situation wherein the Cost Center in the asset under construction is different than the Cost Center in the WBS.
I have checked the settings like automatic account assignment, etc but all settings look correct.
Can you please explain first what could be the reason for such a difference between Cost Centers in WBS and AuC's and what is the solution to avoid it in future?
Thanks in advance
Leena

Thanks for your replies...
@ Alex - There is no Investment Programme ID maintained for this WBS in question since there is no IM for this project.
@ Abdul - Please elaborate more on Validation and Substitution.
Regards,
Leena.

Down Payment Posting in Assets Under Construction

Hi
In case of AuC, when we post the down payment, the standard Accounting entry created is:
Vendor Advance A/c Dr
Asset Under Construction (Down Payment) Dr
     To Bank A/c
     To Asset Clearing A/c
When we Post the invoice , the A/c entry passed is
Asset under Construction A/c Dr
      To vendor A/c Cr
When we clear the down payment against the invoice
Vendor A/c Dr
Asset Clearing A/c Dr
     To Vendor Advance A/c
     To Asset under Construction (Down Payment)
My issue is:
1. Why the Asset account should be involved for making down payments? At the time of down payments, the accounting entry that should be passed by the system showuld be
Vendor A/c Dr
    To Bank A/c
2. What happens in the case of year end activities? Why does system create two entries for current assets?

Settlement from internal order to asset under construction

HI All,
I have allocated some labors hours cost from production cost centers to real order which is created for allocating the internal cost to asset under construction.
when i allocate the labor hours by using the "KB21N" it has used the secondary cost element that is "Internal activity allocation" cost element "1200002".
i have given the source cost element "1200002" which is created as "internal activity allocation" and in settlement cost elements folder i have given receiving category is "FXA" and selected by cost element check box. i selected required entry field in settlement profile and assigned in order type.
when i do the settlement to asset under construction from internal order it is showing bellow errow.
"Settlement by cost element not possible due to secondary cost element
Message no. KD553
Diagnosis
You want to settle the secondary cost element 1200002 by cost element to an asset or G/L account, which is not allowed.
Procedure
Extend your allocation structure R3, so that secondary cost elements are not settled by cost element, but with a settlement cost element."
please let me know the problem and where i did mistake. give me the solution
thanks in advance
Mr.Rao

HI,
in your allocation structure R3 you entered in the view "Settlement cost element" that settlement receiver categoy FXA receives values "by cost element". This is only possible for primary cost elements. For internal activities do not tick "by cost element" but use a settlement cost element with cost element category "22".
best regards, Christian

Asset under construction

Hi Guru,
I want to know about how the internal order is the linked to asset under construction?

Hi
First, your internal order should have a investment profile attached to it. This determines the AuC asset class.
Next, when you release your internal order, SAP asks to create a AuC in the sub-sequent screen. Meaning, release status requires AuC.
Hope this helps. Otherwise, let me know your question.

Asset under Construction for Investment Measures

Hi all
This is my client requirement
how to do asset under Construction for Investment Measures
configration
pls send configration

Hi
These are the steps to be followed:
1. Create a asset class for CWIP (Auc) - OAOA: In this select Investment Measure under Status of AuC.
2. Define Investment Profile (OITA) - Give AuC Asset class as invest measure asset class.
3. Create Internal Order Type for Investments: Normally standard 0650 order type will take care of the requirement. We need not to create anything.
4. Create Asset (AS01) under normal asset class i.e., buildings or vehicles etc... (You cannot create under AuC Asset Class)
5. Create Internal Order (KO01): Give Object class as investment and under Investments tab give investment profile created in step 2.
Go to settlement profile tab and give category as FXA and settlement receiver the asset no. and give 100%.
6. Change asset master to incorporate the internal order number under Origin Tab. Give no. in Investment order field.
7. Release the Internal Order (KO02)
8. Post the transactions through different T.Codes by referring Internal Order as account assignment.
9. Go to Internal Order through KO02 and complete TECO under control data.
10. Go to T.Code KO88 (internal order settlement) and settle the order.
Hope this will help you.

Steps for completing Asset under Construction

hi,
i have created the AUC asset class with line settlement checked.
will somebody be kind enough to show me the futher steps involved in customization along with postings and settlement procedure....
regards
sayeed

Hi,
You can manage the asset under construction in the system in two different ways, depending on the types of functions that you need. The asset under construction can be either a normal asset record, or a master record with line item management. As a result, the transfer from the asset under construction to completed fixed assets can be handled in one of two ways:
·        Summary transfer from a normal asset master record to the receiver assets (transaction type 348/349)
·        Line item settlement of an asset under construction that has line item management
The Investment Management (IM) component is recommended for handling large-scale capital investments. Using the IM component, you can manage a capital investment in parallel: for financial accounting purposes as an asset under construction, and for controlling purposes as an internal order or project. For more information, see the documentation for the Investment Management component.
Assets under Construction Without Line Item Management
The procedure corresponds to the procedure for the transfer between two assets within the same company code (see Posting the Splitting or Moving of an Asset). Before carrying out a full transfer of an asset under construction, you have to reverse any down payments that were posted in the current fiscal year. Down payments are ignored for a partial transfer.
Special transaction types for the transfer of assets under construction allow for transfers to be displayed in the asset history sheet as acquisitions to fixed assets.
Assets under Construction with Line Item Management
In the FI-AA component, you can accumulate costs under purely technical aspects in an asset under construction. You do not need to consider the later creation of fixed assets at this point. During the construction phase, you can accumulate all acquisitions for an investment in a single asset. These acquisitions include
·        External activity (acquisition from vendor)
·        Internal activity (internal order)
·        Stock material (withdrawal from warehouse)
in a single asset. When using this 'collective management' of assets under construction, it is possible to manage the individual acquisitions as open items over the course of several fiscal years. At completion, the line items must be cleared and then distributed to the various receivers. The system activates open item management when an asset under construction is created, if you set the corresponding indicator in the asset class. In addition, you have to assign a settlement profile to the company codes involved, in Customizing for Asset Accounting, in order for the line item settlement to work (see Define Settlement Profile in the Implementation Guide). The main function of the settlement profile is to specify the allowed receivers (such as, assets or cost centers).
Hope this helps you. Let me know if you need any other information.

Accounting object to Asset under construction?

Please,
Question: Is it necessary to set an accounting object (ACSET) to asset under construction?
(I think we should define an internal order)
Thank you

hi Naej ,
For Auc Assets Account assignment object is not required to create.
Because when purchase any goods and Services automatically system captures profit center through document splitting.
For eX : Service Entry with internal order. Internal order may contain CC or PC.
If internal order contains CC or PC system derives
ExP             a/c DR              10000
                To              GR/IR              acccount           10000
Aftter that we are settling EXp from Order to AUC
AUC     account            dr        10000
         to        ExP        account        10000
System derives cost center / profit center from IO   to AUC.
Main Asset settlement :
Main Asset           DR         10000
         to     AUC accont          10000
Because of these reasons AUC is not Requried CO Assignment objects.

Assign value to asset under construction

Hi Sirs,
I would like to know what i have to do to solve the problem with value for asset under construction. When I create asset with tr. AS91 in area for Takeover values, the field for ***.acquis.val. is not active.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Dani

Hi Dani
I assume that you have maintained the takeover date and period for last depreciation posted in the old system. Apart from this you have to make sure that the capitalisation date in asset master should be prior to takeover date, In order for system to recognize that asset is a takeover asset this is very important. when all the input fields are greyed , this means system does not determine it to be an old asset which it derives from cap date.

Zub
