Custom Field in Asset Master Data

Dear Experts,
I want to ask about a problem I'm having when adding a new field in Asset Master Data ( AS01 & AS02 ).
I'm adding new field on the Time-dependent Tab. I already create the exit & the new custom field, and with the help of the functional registered the new field.
I'm using a new installed SAP GUI 7.3 .
The problem is that the new field doesn't appear when I access the tcode unless I click on the new field location.
The problem seem doesn't appear in SAP GUI 7.1 & 7.2.
Is there any setting that need to be done or this is the problem with the SAP GUI 7.3
Thank you.

Hi Karim
You can go through the steps below to customize the field u2018Planned. retirement onu2019
1, AS02 -> Menu: Environment -> screen layout -> Master data -> select layout and double click on Logic field group -> Select Logic field group 2 u2018Posting informationu2019 and double click on field group rules -> Change field group 13 to u2018Suppressed entry fieldu2019.
Alternatively
2, Use AO21 to customize the field as above.
Note: field u2018Planned. retirement onu2019 in asset master is connected to the function u2018Simulate up to planned retirement dateu2019 in asset reports. After field u2018Planned. retirement onu2019 of asset master data is deactivated, the function u2018Simulate up to planned retirement dateu2019 in asset report will be disabled.

How to display field Functional Location Field in Asset Master Data

Dear Experts,
I really appreciate for your advices on how to display Functional Location Field in Asset Master data.
I have checked the configuration on path IMG:\Financial Accounting->Asset Accounting->Master Data->Screen Layout->Define Screen Layout for Master Data
I have chosen the screen layout and review all Logical Field Groups. And there's no field "Functional Location" is available. I also didn't find "Add New" button to add "Functional Location" field.
Thank you
Best regards,
Frans

Dear Frans,
I am sorry this is not possible.
Note 140482:
The field was created as a precaution. However, it is not being used at
present and consequently is not supplied.
In particular, you cannot use the field as a criterion for a selection
in Asset Accounting reporting. This is still true even if this field has
been included in the selection view delivered for the dynamic selections
by modification.

How to add new fields in asset master data

Hello,
i was wonder if anyone knows how to add new fields that arent defined in the asset master data.
Thanks.
Pedro

Hi Pedro,
SAP allows entering upto 8 fields on the asset master. These fields are called 'Evaluation group'. Out of 8, 4 are four character long and others are 8 character long.
You can configure them @ the following 3 nodes in IMG:
Financial Accounting>Asset Accounting>Master Data-->User Fields: Define 4-Character Evaluation Groups & Define 8-Character Evaluation Groups & Change Key Words in the Evaluation Groups.

Useful life is asking mandatory field in asset master data

while asset master creation useful life is asking mandatory field in dep.key : ZSLU. actually i have to give "ZERO" in useful life field. i have set screen layout in AO21 also.again asking mandatory field. I got the one point, I think this is the problem,
Note: Base method 0011 (Ordinary: percentage from useful life) already assigned in dep. Key ZSLU. If we assigned in dep. key ZSLU, we should give positive values for useful life in asset master data.
I changed base method 0002 instead of 0011, it was accepted, If i change base method(0011),
i want base method instead of 0011?
which base method i have to give? please give suggestion?
Thanks
indu

Hi ,
i have changed optional field also. it's asking mandatory, i have tested base method 0002 instead of 0011. if i give 0002 or other base method, it is accepting.
Note: if we mention base method 0011, we must give passitive values in useful life.
what i have to do? please tell me?

Solved by myself
I write here the response because I didn't found it anywhere:
When you are adding a custom field to MAKT table you have to add it to appending structres SKTEXT and DMAKT too because the standard uses them to read/write the data to MAKT. It's easy to do but hard to find out

Validation user exit at asset master data

hi all,
at asset master data creation level, if you want to validate company code vs asset class vs equipment type, how do you define validation user exit? Also, we have so many company codes. Do we have to individually validate rules for each and every company code?
Regards,
Rob

Hope the below user exits are useful:
AAPM0001 |Integration of asset accounting and plant maintenance
AINT0001 |Extended checks when posting an asset
AIST0002 |Customer fields in asset master
Pls assign points as wa to say thanks

Screen Layout for Asset Master Data

Hi all,
we are using SAP ECC 6.0 with a base component 700 Level 15 and the Logistics and Accounting component 600 Level 12.
I hope you can help me with the following tasks. It should be said that I am not an expert FI-AA, so you must bear with me.
It is desired, that the Screen Layout for asset master data, should have an additional field "customer order" as a required field.
So I go to the Customizing
--> Financial Accounting --> Asset Accounting > Master Data> Screen Layout--> Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data --> Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data
--> and then into the third level of navigation in the u201Cfield group rulesu201D (rule for R & D development costs and then logical field group time-dependent data)
So there I should be deposited the "customer order" as a required field.
But:
1. The "customer order" is not available in any field group. How is it possible that I add the u201Ccustomer orderu201D to a field group?
2. I am not able to add any field, in the above transaction?
I am very grateful for any help.
greetings

Dear all,
I want to come back to my problem listed above.
In the APC Values Posting (Transaction ASKP) the costs have been assigned to a WBS element. Now, it should not be assigned to a WBS element, but to a customer order.
For that I created in the asset master a new customer's own field "Customer Order".
For this I have implemented the customer enhancement AIST0002 (Customer fields in asset master).
The new field "Customer Order" is now available in the asset master as desired.
So far so good.
Now, the new field "Customer Order" must be specified and activate as an Account Assignment Object.
Is this possible and how can I add my new field to an Account Assignment Object?
Thanks in advance for any help.
greetings

Best practice for "Quantity" field in Asset Master

Hi
I want to know what is the best practice for "Quantity field" in asset master. It should be made displayed only or required field in Asset Master creation.
Initially I made this field as required entry. So user entered 1 quantity. At the time of posting F-90, he again entered quantity. So my quantity in asset master got increased. Hence i decided to make that field display only in asset master creation.
Now i made that field as display only in asset master creation. At the time of posting F-90, that quantity field is not coming only. I check my field status group for posting key as well as GL account. Its optional field. Inspite of that user is able to make entry in F-90. Now quantity field is '0' only in asset master even though there is some value in asset.
Please help what is the best practice wrt quantity field. Should be open in asset master or it should be display only.

Hi:
SAP Standard does not recommend you to update quantity field in asset master data. Just leave the Qty Field Blank , just mention the Unit of Measure as EA. While you post acquisition through F-90 or MIGO this field will get updated in Asset master data automatically. Hope this will help you.

Add field group to Asset Master Data Screen Layout

Hi Gurus !!
Does anybody know how to add field group in SPRO(Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data)?. I have created my layout by coping 1000, but then I need to add Fund Center in Time-Dependent data logical field group.
Thanks a lot,
Sasha

I don't think you can add a funds center to the Time dependent tab.
Instead you need to use Derivatuon strategy. Use tcode FMDERIVE for strategy and FMDERIVER for GL accounts to cost center and cost centers to asset numbers or number range. From here the system derives teh funds center.

Trading partner' field (ANLA-VBUND) on asset master data

Dear experts,
I have informed field Trading partner' (ANLA-VBUND) on asset master data but we have notice that, in our system, it has not got any function on an accounting level.
Trading partner is not informed in documents like:
CR - Loss
DB - Asset account (with trading partner informed on asset's master data)
We only get trading partner informed in postings like:
CR - Vendor with trading partner informed in vendor's master data.
DB - Asset account
By the way, although trading partner is informed on asset's master data, trading partner is not informed on depreciation postings.
At the end, I think that my expectations around the functionality derived on field Trading partner' (ANLA-VBUND) on asset master data are not correct. I could not found any SapNote or SapHelp regarding this question.
Does any body knows what is the functionality of field Trading partner' (ANLA-VBUND) on asset master data?
Thanks in advance

Dear Brigitte,
Thanks for your answer. Looking to the documentation you mentioned above I've found the following:
AA/Asset Accounting
* Asset transfers between company codes: If a fixed asset is transferred to another company code, two posting documents are required - one for each company code. The trading partner of each document must be set with the company ID of the other company code, respectively.
In my understanding there is no functionality regarding trading partner on asset master data level apart of transfers between company codes. Am I right?
I understand that my initial approach was not correct.

Change cost center in asset master data

Dear All,
When I go to change cost center in asset master data by transaction code AS02 it does show gray cost center field and system does not allow to change. I also tried to use time dependent option but field was still gray. Kindly help me in this regard,
Regards,
Uddin

Hi,
check the accounting object customizing in IMG FI-AA. At the step where you activate the accounting objects you can set a flag "balance sheet relevant" for the accounting objects. If this is checked, then you will not be allowed to change this accounting object in the asset master record after the first posting to the asset.

Markus

Modify fixed asset master data thru migo

Hi experts,
I make PO with account assigment 'fixed asset'. This asset is created during the PO creation. When materials arrive more fields of that fixed asset master data are known (ie serial number). I'd like to have a way to save those data in asset during the GR without using 2 different transactions.
In MIGO t/c i see the fixed asset number and double clicking on it i access to display asset: master data (as i was on AS03 tc).
Do you think a way to call AS02 (change asset master data) thru MIGO exists?
Best regards,
Ruben

Hi Ruben,
Did you find a solution to your problem? I have a similar requirement.
I was planning on using the user-exit MBCF0005 to call a pop-up screen where the user can input the serial number and from there calling the BAPI to update the asset.
Cheers
Wayne
