Difference between Asset Cost and Sum of Cost of Source Lines

Dear Members,
I have an asset for which the cost is shown as 1,672.696 at header level in Source Lines window.
But when I summed up the cost of the source lines of the same asset it is coming as 3345.392 (which is double of the amount shown at the header level).
Can any one please tell me why there is a difference.
Steps I Followed:
The navigation I followed is as follows:
FA Super User-->Asset Workbench.
In the find screen I have entered the asset number and clicked on Find button.
Once I clicked on the Find button ,I can see the 'Assets' scrren on which I clicked on the 'Source Lines' button.
Now Iam in Sourcelines window and here I can see the difference.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Arun Reddy.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SINGLE LEVEL AND MULTI LEVEL COSTING

Sir,'
Please explain the difference between Single Level and Multi Level Costing in Detail
thanking You

While using material ledger, we can use the single level or multi-level price determination for valuation of inventory.
Procurement processes are used in Product Cost Controlling to determine procurement costs and to present those costs. Purchase Order, for example, is single-level procurement and Production is multilevel procurement.
Single-level material price determination calculates the periodic unit price for a material. The standard price and the cumulative single-level differences of the period are taken into account. Single-level material price determination takes into account the differences that arise directly when a material is procured.
Multilevel price determination calculates the periodic unit price for a material. The standard price, the single-level differences cumulated in the period, the differences between planned and actual prices, as well as input material differences (multilevel differences) are all taken into account.
Single-level material price determination is a prerequisite for Multi-level price determination.

Core differences between Asset intelligence and Software Metering

Hello all,
A small doubt,
What all are the core differences between Asset intelligence and Software Metering.
I am asked to implement License management for certain software in my environment using SCCM 2012 R2, where I should get the report on number of licenses of one particular software used during particular timing. Will this be possible using Software metering
alone.
Is there any extra cost involved in for software metering or asset intelligence?
Regards,
Vishnu
V I S H N U

Hi,
1. Software metering allows you to create a rule and meter application usage very granular, when it is started, how many times , how long it has been used e.t.c, Asset intellegence doesn't require you to create any rules it will only inventory start/stop
so you can get reports like "all computers that hasn't started a application in x days".
2.It depends on the license agreement for that application, but yes you can get how many has started a specific application within a timeframe.
3.No

Difference between Asset Register and Trial Balance

Hai Guys,
Our client went live in the year 1999. At present they are in Ver. 6.0 but New GL is not activated.
There is a situation where some of the Asset accounts have a difference between the amounts shown by the Asset Register and the amounts shown by the Trial Balance.
The issue was written to SAP support team. I was told about a special T code (ABF1) which is not available through the standard menu. But the same can be used only if we need to change the GL in line with the Asset accounting and that too if the GL balance is less than the Asset accounting balance. But, in our case, the situation is such that the GL figures have been freezed for the year end and cannot be changed.
In such a situation, SAP support replied me about a program RACORR05 which will give the missing line items in asset accounting. If I run the same, it is giving a output of some document numbers and I am not exactly understanding the same.
The balance has been carried over for quiet some years and it is of no used to go into those years and find out the reason for the difference. Now, the Asset accounting is to be set in line with the GL balances and that too without hitting the GL balances by any way. I know that the same is difficult.
But will any of you be able to help me in this regard as I have tried all ways out but could not find a solution.

Hai Paul,
Thanks for your reply. I have already gone through the note 69225. In our case, the requirement is to align the Asset Accounting without hitting the GL balances of the concerned assets which is a difficult situation. When contacted, the SAP Support team has given a program RACORR05, which outputs some list of documents which are existing both in GL and AA. I do not understand the output. I have seen all the related notes in this regard. The difference has been carried over for quiet some years and there is no use in going into the details of the reason for the difference as the years are already closed.
The total difference as between asset Register and GL is around 55 lacs (GL balance is less than asset register balance) and the difference in accum. depreciation is around 43 Crores (!!!!!!!!) (Balance as per Asset Register is less than the GL balance).
Is there any way out to resolve this. can I handle this using AS92 (Legacy asset transfer values). But I need to change the Legacy asset transfer date for this. I hope the same is not advisable in a live company code. Please comment on the same as to whether it can be done.
THanks again for your reply.

Difference between the planned cost and the target cost

Hello guys,
I am really confused between the planned cost and the target cost.As Per the sap help target cost is cost required to produce certain quantity of material.And planned cost even carry the same definition.
So is there any difference between these two cost.Are they same?

Jitendra,
Genarally in CO we will define Target cost is getting calculated in the Production order based on the "Standard Cost Estimate" after GR. Planned costs are calculated based on the current costs.
Example:
Assumption: Assembly Material A with Standard Price, Component B and Component C is maintained with Moving average
Material A Cost 1EA = (component B = $10 + Component cost C = $20+ Activity Price $1) = $31, this is the standard cost estimate for the material.
Now I create a production order on 15th of the month, and the Moving average price for component is now $20 due to subsequent GR with higher price. Now the planned cost for the order would be (20201)=$41, whereas the Target cost would be still $31.
Hope I was able to clarify,
Regards,
Prasobh

Difference between value category and cost element

Hi I am new to SAP Pm.can anyone explain me the difference between value category and cost element and how are they linked with examples

HI Pallavi,
Value Category are use to devide your total cost in to diffrent elements for example Material, External Services, Internal Services etc. If you dont have any value category configured then all cost will show together.
Cost Element are the cost collector where your cost will be booked means different cost under different Elements.
So What you need to do You need to create one Value category Like material or any thing then you need to assign all Cost Elements which will be used to book cost related to Material or that perticular category. You can assign Cost Element directly, range or as a group to these category under SPRO.

Difference between COPC planning and cost object controlling

I want to know why do we have to calculate the cost of a manufactured product by both COPC planning and Cost object controlling by order?
Will the cost of a manufactured product be different in COPC planning method and cost object controlling method?
if we use only cost object controlling to calculaute the cost of a manufactured product without using COPC planning wht will be the implications?

Raja,
Yes the cost can be different. The cost calculating thorught Product Cost Planning may be static, you calculate it by period it is more for planning prupose ans to set standard. The cost calculated through Cost Object Controlling is resulting from your actual transactions, and the are few variables that could increase or decrease the cost of product. For example the overhead cost (Increase of salaries) can directly affect your activity rate at the work center and impact cost of your product when the production order is complete. You need both costs (Cost Planning and Cost Object releated) so at the end of the period you can calculate variance betweeen your plan cost and your actual costs.
Hope this clarifies your doubts.

ABST2 - Differences between Assets and G/L accts

Hi Experts
We are working on ECC 6.0 and INR is our local currency.
At the end of FY 2007 by mistake direct postings were made to Dep Fund Account which is a Recon a/c and FY 2007 was closed
And because of which FI-GL and FI-AA doesnt match by INR 37353.71 (amt posted in above doc) as shown in ABST2
I've referred SAP notes 104567 & 69225 and found the note 69225 relevant to follow as the difference has not resulted in the current or open years.
So we have passed direct entry which is exactly the reversal of entry posted above using ABF1 (INR -37353.71)
After posting the 2nd document, in ABST2 another line has appeared of INR -37353.71. Although the sum for my recon GL is now zero.
The output of ABST2 is as below now -
Sc Acct no.   BusA Year SG 1st local difference LCurr Doc.no.    Period
AS 31100                2009               37,353.71-        INR     W004
AS 31100                2009               37,353.71         INR     W004       999
When I come out of ABST2 , addition to 1st, error no 2 is also coming which I thought would disappear.
1.Differences between assets and G/L accts in the balance carried forward
     Message no. MQ555
2.Differences between assets and G/L accounts at the key date
     Message no. MQ557
Is still something else needs to be done?
Or can I move ahead as the summation of the difference is now zero?
Please suggest.
Kapil

We referred to SAP and they suggeted that the tagging of W004 in both the lines means that now there is no error even system prompts it as error.
So we continued with the transactions and after closing the FY 2009, today when we run ABST2, we dont get any error messages as there is no difference left between Assets & GL.

Difference between post-capitalization and write-up of an asset

Dear Experts,
Kindly explain the difference between post-capitalization and write-up of an asset in SAP.
Regards
Komal

Hi Komal,
Post Capitalization means correction of the value of an asset, which is either set too low due to not carrying out a capitalization in the past, or which is treated entirely as expense.
where as Write up is the reversal of past depreciation and write-up is necessary either when the depreciation posted was too high or when the reasons for unplanned depreciation no longer exist.

Difference between Asset Intelligence 09A report and reports in the Software Metering folder

Dear all,
I can not seem to grasp the difference between Asset Intelligence 09x reports and reports in the Software Metering folder. Do they extract conclusions based on the same data and which data are those? I also have come to notice that there are occasional dicrepancies
between them. Why would this be?

Hi,
1. Software metering allows you to create a rule and meter application usage very granular, when it is started, how many times , how long it has been used e.t.c, Asset intellegence doesn't require you to create any rules it will only inventory start/stop
so you can get reports like "all computers that hasn't started a application in x days".

Differences between assets and G/L accts

Differences between assets and G/L accts in the balance carried forward
Message no. MQ 555
Diagnosis
Differences occurred in the balance carried forward when comparing asset summary records and G/L accounts.
Procedure
Using program RFEWSBAL, select the accounts for which differences occurred. To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Changeover package: Active package
Phase: ANALYZE
Origin of change: AS
Proceed
1. Analyze the accounts containing errors using note 104567.
If the document number field contains the entry "W004", this means that although a difference exists in the balance carried forward, this difference was charged off at the key date. Following local currency changeover, the system adjusts the currency differences at the key date only, but not in the balance carried forward.
If the entry "W004" exists for all affected accounts, the status is set to warning instead of error. If the correction at key date described above proves sufficient, you can continue changing over the local currency without additional adjustments in the previous year.
However, SAP does recommend that you make corrections in the previous year in line with note 104567 since this ensures that the balance carried forward is also reconciled.

Hello,
There 2 t codes ABST and ABST2.
You have issue if ABST does not match.
ABST2 is as of today t code. Ideally they will match.
To fix the issue
execute AFAR
then execute AFAB repeat run dep.
Normally your will asset balance will match with GL

Difference between Asset and Equipment

Hi All,
Can someone tell me the difference between Asset (Created using AS01) and Equipment (Created using IE01).
Thanks,
Rock

Dear Rock,
Asset is a financial entity managed by SAP-AA (Asset Accounting) component. Though, it has some logistic data to manage (and one can always add user-defined fields) its main purpose is to manage fixed assets as a part of the company's financial statement by applying different tools like depreciation, capitalization, retirement etc. Equipment, however, is a logistic entity which allows you to manage the logistic flow for your assets, by tracing the place of installation, managing repair/service orders, parts of equipment, etc. An equipment (or several equipments) could be linked to a financial asset. It's important to emphasize that not every equipment is a financial asset, and not every financial assets is an equipment even if you are about to implement both AA and PM in your SAP project.

Eli

What is the difference between /assets/account/import and /data/account ?

Does anybody knows what is the use of /assets/account/import and /data/account.
What is the difference between these two and their functional use.
thanks

/assets/account/import is used in the context of performing account file uploads through the E10 UI. If you navigate to Contacts > Accounts > and click Upload in the top right corner (above search), you'll get the upload wizard:
The moment you click the cloud icon and select a file, two actions take place:
1) POST to /assets/account/import is made, where you are passing the name, import source and purpose of the import. The response includes the id of the new import object you created
2) Another POST to /assets/account/import/{id}/csv is made, which includes the data in your chosen file
Afterwards, you perform the mappings and go to step 4 of the wizard. When you click Finish, another two actions take place:
1) PUT /assets/account/import/{id} to update the import definition with your mappings from Step 3
2) POST to /assets/account/import/{id}/queue to send this import into the import/upload queue. At this point it becomes visible from Setup > Integration > Inbound > Reporting > Upload History
Note that this workflow is not meant for client use, but rather helps facilitate UI functionality for marketing users. You should be using Bulk API to add or update records, which also confers other advantages such as the ability to use syncActions. The only functionality not available in Bulk API which is available through this workflow is the ability to delete Accounts. For obvious reasons, its recommend that you do NOT automate the deletion of any records. Accounts especially are not subject to any band limits or rates, so its best to have Marketers remove them as needed.
Regarding the second part of your question, the /data/accounts endpoint will provide you with up to 1000 account records when using GET. A POST can also be made to create a new account record (company) within Eloqua. Otherwise, GET /data/account/{id} will retrieve the details of a particular record and PUT /data/account{id} will update a particular.
Best regards,
Bojan

Difference between Transaction Figures and Line Items

Hi,
I gone through FI like FI-GL,FI-AR,FI-AP..there i find...
Line Items & Transaction figures as main...like
in FI we have
Line Items - 0FI_GL_4,0FI_AR_4,0FI_AP_4 etc...
Transaction Figures - 0FI_GL_6,0FI_AR_6,0FI_AP_6 etc...
Now Can some please explain...
what exactly Line Items are?
What exactly Transaction Figures are?
How data flows from end to end in FI? i.e where exactly GL,AR,AP comes into picture..how they are internally related?
Some one please explain me in detail (with expamles if possible) and quick reply is much appreciated...
Regards
Ramsunder

Hi
What exactly line items :
Line items are document items that were posted to a specific account. In contrast to a document item a line item only contains the information from the document that is relevant from the account view.
You can display the following line items:
Open items, Cleared items, Noted items, Parked items ,Items with special G/L transactions (in Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable),Items with customer or vendor items (in Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable)
You can display the line items for the following account types: Customer accounts,Vendor accounts,G/L accounts.
What exactly Transaction Figures are?
Transaction figures are the sums of line items on the debit or credit side. The balance is the difference between the debit and the credit transaction figure.
If you take General ledger
AP records all accounting transactions for dealings with suppliers(Vendors). Much of its data is obtained from procurement (Materials Management).
AR records all accounting transactions for dealings with customers. Much of its data is obtained from Sales and Distribution.
Asset Accounting records all accounting transactions relating to the management of assets.
Travel Management manages and calculates travel costs and supports travel planning and travel expenses.
Bank ledger supports the posting of cash flows.
