Deletion of asset class

Hi
Can anyone advise how do I make use of program RACLSDEL for deletion of asset class?
One of the Requirements:
You must first mark the asset classes for deletion.
How do i mark the asset class for deletion? In transaction OAOA i can only block the asset class and not delete.
Kindly advise.
Thanks.

Hi Sui,
In addition to what has been said, make sure there is no <b>Asset Master</b> within the system using the Asset Class you intend to delete. Otherwise, deletion would not be possible.
I hope the above helps.
Do not forget to award the points please.
Regards,
Jacob

FI-AA: Assignment asset class to chart of depreciation

Hi all,
does anybody know whether it's possible to assign asset classes to a specific chart of depreciation (or let's say to delete this assignment)?
The background of the question is the following: Some asset classes should not be used in some company codes. All these company codes use the same chart of depreciation, so I thought there must be a possibility to delete the assignment of this asset class to this chart of depreciation. Unfortunately, I haven't found this setting in the IMG.
The SAP Message no. AC 012 tells for example, that there is an assignment "asset class to chart of depreciation". This is the message:
In order to be able to assign chart-of-depreciation-dependent data to asset class 120204, the following conditions have to be met. You have to have already
1. Defined at least two active charts of depreciation
2. Assigned asset class 120204 to more than one chart of depreciation
However, at the moment this asset class is only assigned to chart of depreciation 1.
As we have definitely more than one active chart of depreciation, there must be this assignment, but how can I change it?
I've seen that I can set a block for an asset class in a chart of depreciation in transaction OAYZ (ANKB-XSPEB / Indicator: Block asset class chart of depreciation-specifc). But I think that I will still see the asset class in the match code search (F4) when I set this indicator.
Does anybody know how I can delete an asset class form a chart of depreciation so that it won't be found via match code search? I've checked almost the whole FI-AA tree but haven't found a solution...
Thank you very much!
Regards,
Peter

Hi Eric,
thanks for your answer. As far as I can see, the option "chart of depreciation only" in transaction AM05 has the same effect than the parameter "chart of depreciation" in transaction OAYZ.
As I receive a transport request via transaction AM05, it seems that this changes the same customizing table.
Fortunately, all company codes in this chart of depreciation need the same settings, so a validation rule seems not to be necessary.
It's just strange that there is no possibility to edit the assignment asset class to chart of depreciation in customizing (I think the assignment to all asset classes in the system will be created automatically when I copy the chart of depreciation). I think the only possibility would be to edit the respective tables manually (what I definitely won't do).
Another strange thing I see in the system: There are 2 asset classes 120203 and 120204, which are both set up equally. When I try to block these in AM05, I'll receive the error message AA 111 for asset class 120204, while the asset class 120203 can be blocked without problems. When I use matchcode search F4, I can see 120203 while 120204 is not found.
Message AA111 is the following:
Chart of dep. 100 does not exist in class 120204 (Create chart of deprec.)
Diagnosis
Chart of depreciation 100 does not exist in class 120204.
Procedure
Create the chart of depreciation 100 for asset class 120204 using the transaction 'Create asset class' and the function 'Create chart of dep.'.
There is the assignment asset class to chart of depreciation.
When I check asset class 120204 in OAYZ (Determine Depreciation Areas in the Asset Class) I'll get the following message (I don't get this message when I check 120203):
Deprec. area 50 was changed and deactivated. Please check.
Message no. AC 631
Diagnosis
Depreciation area 50 was added to asset class 120204 because this depreciation area was newly created in Customizing.
System Response
The system adds the new depreciation area to the asset class, but its status is 'deactivated.'
Procedure
Check if this action by the system is correct. Maintain the depreciation areas in the asset class, and remove the 'deactivated' indicator there, if you choose.
For sure, depreciation area 50 was not newly created in customizing (as stated in the error message), as this depreciation are is in production for years! There must be another reason for this.
However, this says to me that the assignment asset class to chart of depreciation is created by SAP automatically and this can't be influenced.
Therefore I'll just block the asset class in the chart of depreciation with the disadvantage, that I'll see this asset class when I use the matchcode search F4 (e.g. in AS01). This seems to be the only solution.
Thanks again for your help (you got some points for that ;-).

Asset class - GL

What is the meaning of Generate Asset Classes From GL
Accounts.
Kindly can any one tell me what is the meaning of this in
detail.
Thanks
Nag.

Hi
This is WIZARD and can do all settings here. Check the below notes available at nod.
Generate Asset Classes from G/L Accounts (1 to 1)
In this step you generate:
Asset classes
Account determinations
Screen layout rules
Number ranges for the assignment of the main asset number
These objects are generated in a 1 to 1 relationship to your asset balance sheet accounts. The system enters account determinations, screen layout rules and number ranges in the asset class as control parameters.
Note: Carrying out this step is not mandatory. Generating your asset classes from your G/L accounts is an optional step you can use to simplify the creation of asset classes. If you want to define asset classes without the help of your G/L accounts, use the step Define asset classes. You also use the "Define asset classes" step to copy asset classes. Copying classes is useful for adding to your asset classes, if you generated asset classes from your G/L accounts using the current step.
You define additional account determinations, screen layout controls and number ranges (if needed) in the section Organizational Structures.
Requirements
You must be able to enter all your asset balance sheet accounts.
Standard settings
SAP supplies example asset classes.
Note
This processing view has 7 navigation levels. The first navigation level is the overview screen containing the generating function. The next 6 navigation levels are detail screens for this overview screen. You have to work through all of the detail screens before you can start the generation of the asset classes in the first navigation level.
The first detail screen (account selection) has to be processed first. There is no hierarchy for the remaining detail screens (no detail screens for the prior navigation level). They are not dependent on each other. You can work through each of these screens independently from the other.
Activities
A Wizard guides you through the different navigation steps. Asset classes are not generated until you save.
1. Enter your chart of accounts and the chart of depreciation.
2. Select all G/L accounts that are APC balance sheet accounts.
3. The system prepared an account determination for each APC account, with a description that is the same as that of the given APC account.
Add to the account determination by entering the corresponding accumulated depreciation account for each account determination.
4. Enter accounts for expense, ordinary depreciation, and asset retirements for all account determinations.
In a later step, you can change these accounts for each account determination.
5. The system created a number range interval for each APC account.
Change the number range intervals as needed:
a) Change the limits of the number ranges.
b) Specify whether the assignment of the main asset number should be external or internal.
SAP recommends internal number assignment. You could define the number range intervals, for example, so that the first characters of the asset number agree with the first characters of the APC account number.
6. The system created a screen layout control for each APC account.
When the APC account has a number that is at most 5 characters long, the system automatically assigns the account number as the key for the screen layout control. If the account number has more than 5 characters, you have to enter the 5-character key for the screen layout control manually. Select the field groups that you want to be optional entries in the asset class.
7. The system created an asset class with the same name as each APC account.
Add to the asset classes:
a) Specify the type of the asset class (asset under construction, low value asset with or without collective management, no special class type).
b) Specify the default depreciation key and the default useful life for each depreciation area. You can add to this information for more depreciation areas in a later step.
Caution
You can use the function for generating asset classes more than once. The system uses the following logic when you do so:
First, the system checks whether the company code is already in production status. If it is, then the system creates, based on the G/L accounts you have selected, only asset classes, account determinations and so on that were not yet created. Any existing asset classes are not changed; nor are they deleted and created again.
If the company code is not yet in production, the system checks whether assets already exist for the existing asset classes. If not, the system deletes the existing asset classes and generates them again.
If assets do exist, the system checks if there are also transactions for the assets. If there are no transactions, you can decide which of the following you want to do:
Delete all asset classes and their assets, and generate them again
Only add new asset classes
If transactions exist for the assets, then you can only add new asset classes. In order to completely regenerate all asset classes, you first have to reset the company code (under "Production Startup").
When you choose the "New start" function, the system does not delete any Customizing objects that were already created (asset classes, and so on). This function simply resets the internal working table for this transaction. This means that after you reset, the transaction is returned to its original state (state the first time it was called).

Delete old assets and related classes

Dear Experts,
We have a new support client. They want to revise their Asset Classes as at the time of implementation too many asset classes (around 70) had been created. Now they want to have limited asset classes as per the Schedule VI.
On the other threads the solution suggested by experts is to create the desired asset classes and create new assets (per old asset) and transfer the balances from old assets to new assets through T.Code ABUMN.
My doubt is:
1. How feasible is above solution when already 1 year's data exists in assets?
2. If this solution is to be worked out, can we delete the old assets and asset classes, AFTER transferring the balances to new assets.
Regards
Amar
Edited by: Z_Amarendra on Jun 10, 2009 8:30 AM

Thanks Paul,
- How feasible would it be to go with this option?
- Can the new asset classes and and the assets be immediately used after transferring the balances through ABUMN? Or need to wait till new fiscal year...?
Reply awaited

Amar

Transfer assets from one asset class to another having different depreciation keys.

Hi Gurus,
     I am a noob in FICO, and I am facing a problem while transferring assets from one asset class to another.
Below is the scenario.
I created two assets 100000000000-0 under asset class 4690a and 200000000000-0 under asset class 4690b. And I am trying to transfer the
asset from class 4690b to 4690a by selecting the option ‘New Asset’ in the transaction ABUMN. While doing this, I am receiving an error message as below.
'Posting with trans. type 300 not possible (No acquisition posted).'
     Message No. AA324.
Diagnosis:
     Transaction type 300 belongs to a transaction type group, which can only be used to post to assets to which posting has already been performed. However, no postings have been made to this asset.
Procedure:
     Use a transaction type from a transactio type group, which can be used for the first acquisition to an asset.
The error is related to the transaction type which I hadn’t explicitly created anywhere. But, when checked in transaction AO76, the transaction type 300 belongs to the transaction type group 30. In this group I am not able to find any solution related to the error.
Moreover, in some of the threads in SCN, I read that modifying the transaction type group might lead to something fatal.
Kindly help me in the below.
1. What exactly the error message is related with?
2. Is there any other method to transfer the asset to another class?
Please let me know if any further details are required regarding the scenario.

Hi ,
I understand that you want to transfer the old asset to new asset with different asset class with different depreciation keys and the old asset is not yet capitalized and does not have any Asset Values.
Assuming that since the First Asset is not yet capitalized, that seems to be that its just that ASset Master is created and no Asset Values appear in the Asset.(in other words no acquisition, capitalization, no dep. start etc.)..
Alternatively this asset can be advised to be blocked and flagged for deletion and create a new Asset in the new Asset Class and then capitalize the new asset by doing the acquisition according to the business process i.e. either via PO based process(GR) or Non PO based process.
The transfer of asset is required incase the old asset still have the values and you are transferring the old asset to new one with the left over values.
Also would request you to kindly share some screenshots of the AW01n of the old asset and screenshots of the AS03 to have more idea on it and provide a better solution to the same..
Warm Regards,
Vineet

Error *Chart of dep-dependent assignment to asset class 100306 not possible

Dear All
I got error Chart of dep - dependent assignment to asset class 100306 not possible
Diagnosis
    You tried to assign chart-of-depreciation-dependent data to asset class
    100306.
System Response
    The assignment is not allowed.
Procedure
    In order to be able to assign chart-of-depreciation-dependent data to
    asset class 100306, the following conditions have to be met. You have to
    have already
    1. Defined at least two active charts of depreciation
    2. Assigned asset class 100306 to more than one chart of depreciation
    However, at the moment this asset class is only assigned to chart of
    depreciation 1.
I already checked following this but I didn't found the mistake (already assign COD to company code).
Please anyone help me to solved this.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Utarat.P

Hi Utarat,
whenever you create an asset the system checks first the table ANKP. If you have chart-of-depreciation-dependend account determination, than an entry in the table ANKP is made. If you than make a copy from such a asset class in the asset class there is another account determination than in the table ANKP and the system takes the account determination from the table ANKP and not from the asset class.
Normally you can't define chart-of-depreciation-dependent assignments (with transaction ANK1) if there is only one chart of depreciation. As a result you'll get error AC012. So, I think there was a second chart which was deleted.
If you'd like to change (or delete) this assignments you can use
the following workaround:
    SM34 -> View ANKA_ALL -> Maintain
       - select asset class ART (for example)
       - then click in the left column on "Chart of dep - dep data"

How to delete an asset with a capitalization date inefaceable and no value?

Hi all,
An asset was created on the wrong asset class. I would like to erase it but this is impossible because of the capitalization date.
Indeed, I cannot change the fields status variant of the capitalization date, it is compulsory.
Furthermore, as this asset was an error, there are no values on it.
I tried to enter a deactivation date, but this is not possible because of no acquisition performed.
Therefore, I would like to know if it is possible to erase an asset even if a capitalization date has been entered in the master data?
If it is possible, how can I do?
Thanks for help

Hi,
This is the drawback in asset master, when you make cap date as mandatory for AS01 transaction.
As a standard practice, cap date gets updated automatically when posting MIGO / F-90 only along with the qty.
In your case, first ask your ABAP member to delete the values from cap date field from table ANLA. (Field Name: AKTIV) for your questioned asset.
Then you can delete that asset with AS06 by choosing Physically delete the asset.
This will resolve your issue.
But if you make your field status as optional to cap date, then you must not got these kind of issues in the future.

Srinu

Screen layout for asset class

HI,
My problem is that I am assigning one asset class to new screen layout in the asset class master data.
But the system is taking the fields from the layout which is chart of depreciation dependent data (tcode ANK1)
Here when i try to change that data for this asset class the system throws the message "Chart-of-depreciation-dependent assignment to asset class XXXX not possible"
Procedure
     In order to be able to assign chart-of-depreciation-dependent data to
     asset class 4100, the following conditions have to be met. You have to
     have already
     1. Defined at least two active charts of depreciation
     2. Assigned asset class 4100 to more than one chart of depreciation
     However, at the moment this asset class is only assigned to chart of
     depreciation 1.
Any help would really be appreciated.
Regards
Meenakshi

This is whta you have done:
Generally, the control specifications (the screen layout and the account determination) for the asset class applies throughout the client, that is, for all charts of depreciation. It is therefore sufficient to make control specifications once per asset class.
You only need to carry out this step, if, contrary to the usual case, you want these control specifications to be country-specific (that is, different depending on the chart of depreciation). The system then uses the entries you make here depending on the chart of depreciation in the given company code. The system then ignores the control specifications in the asset class that are independent of the chart of depreciation.
We shall try to check how to delete this settings.

Differentiating the asset class for group assets

Hi,
I want to create group assets in AS21. For creating group assets I want to create a seperate asset class. I could not find any option of differentiating the asset class for group assets in transaction OAOA (i.e., Define Asset Class)
How we can identify that an asset class can be used only for group assets and not for individual assets.

<<Plagiarised from http://help.sap.com/saphelp_45b/helpdata/en/4f/71dfff448011d189f00000e81ddfac/content.htm>>
HI
A group asset is represented in the system by a separate master record. The structure of this master record corresponds to the structure of the normal asset master record. You can determine the structure of this master record using screen layout control, just as you do for normal master records. Just the same as a normal asset, a group asset can have any number of sub-numbers. In this way it is possible, for example, to collect all the acquisitions for one year in a single sub-number master record at the level of the group asset.
There is a separate master data transaction for creating group assets (Asset ® Create ® Group asset). This transaction corresponds to the transaction for creating normal assets. However, there are certain special considerations to keep in mind for master data maintenance of group assets:
Group assets can only be deleted when all the assets belonging to them have been marked for deletion.
Group assets can only manage depreciation areas that have been specially marked. You mark them using an indicator in the company code specific specifications for the depreciation area (FI-AA Customizing: Specify depreciation areas for group assets).
Group assets have to be assigned to an asset class, just as normal assets do. You use an indicator in the asset class to specify that the class can be used only for group assets.
Assignment of an Asset to a Group Asset
You can assign an asset to a group asset by specific depreciation areas. For this purpose, there is a special field in the asset master record (in the detail display of each depreciation area). You enter the number of the group asset in this field. Once this entry is made, the system calculates and posts the depreciation for this depreciation area only at the level of the group asset. In this way, you can also assign one asset to different group assets in different depreciation areas.

Amit SHinde

Asset class doesn't appear in T.code AS01

Hi
I created Asset Class, and Screen layout with that asset class. But when I creat asset in T.code AS01, I click field "Asset Class", but that asset class doesn't appear. It notice following:
"Asset class 213200 cannot be used in company code HDQC
Message no. AA130
Diagnosis
When you create an asset, the system determines the chart of depreciation from the company code definition. In order for a chart of depreciation to be available for an asset class during asset maintenance, the chart of depreciation has to be entered for that asset class (Determine class valuation). Chart of depreciation HDQC that was determined is not entered for asset class 213200.
System Response
You cannot create any assets in your company code for this class.
Procedure
You can do one of the following:
Use another asset class, for which chart of depreciation HDQC is defined.
Maintain the asset class valuations for asset class 213200 in chart of depreciation HDQC. Chart of depreciation HDQC has to be specified in order for you to be able to maintain the valuation parameters of asset class 213200 for chart of depreciation HDQC"
Please explain me as detailed as possible
Thanks

Depreciation area 41 has not been defined in the chart of depreciation HDQC.
Procedure
Define the depreciation area using in FI-AA Customizing.
Before I created depreciation area 41.After that I deleted depreciation area 41. So I can't determine depreciation area in Asset Class 213200
You can help me to fix that error.

Number Range for Asset Class

Dear All,
We are going to develop a new asset class for the internal purpose. I can dvelop all the scenarios but my concern is how to do the number range?
Because, our system is already under live and now we are going to create the new asset class and new number range.
As I understand that for transporting the number ranges, we have to do manual tansport and assign the transport ID. In the taget system, first we have to delete the existing number range and import the transport.
But in our production server, already some number ranges are being used for existing asset class.
How should I do transport the new number range to the production server as already functioning?
Please also tell me what is the table name for Asset number ranges.
I request you to all, please give your values
Regards,
Ran

Dear Ranesh,
It is better to create the number range directly in the production system. The path for the creation of the number range is
SPRO > Financial Accounting (New) > Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) > Asset Accounting > Organizational Structures > Asset Classes > Define Number Range Interval
Assign points if useful

Some asset classes do not show up for a user in S_ALR_87011990

Hi
When the asset history sheet is run in S_ALR_87011990, a user is unable to display some asset classes in the report. This was referred to security team. They say that everything looks fine and nothing appears wrong for that user--roles and profiles ok etc.,. No worklists are being used and no variants are being used. No dynamic selections either.
Can someone let me know why the user is unable to display some asset classes. Asset classes that the user is unable to display were created last year. Most users are able to display these asset classes in the report except this user.
Please help and provide some exact solution.
Best wishes
Rajmohan..

Hi Rajmohan,
most probably it is a authorization problem.
Please compare the assets which are not shown with this user. It could be a cost center.
