Distributing Expenses on Assets

Hi Gurus,
I have a questions. I need to distribute expenses to all assets on FA book equally. Normally, ı enter an expense invoice from AP then enter lines(I can use distribution set for this,but ıf ı do that way,ı must update the distribution set when ı add a new asset) for each asset on FA then transfer it to AP then add them to assets manually on Mass Addition window. But it is taking so much time, I am trying to find an easier way to do this.
Our team can develop a program for this.But ı want to solve it with EBS functionality.
Our EBS version is 11.5.9
Any ideas?
Thank you for your help

Hi Serkan,
Which process is time consuming or difficult for you ...?
If it is due to Mass addition process in Asset Module,
you can make use of the Web ADI functionality for creating assets directly in Oracle Assets Module, instead of going through Oracle payables ...All required details are entered in an ADI template (Excel Sheet) and uploaded to Oracle Assets...
If it is due to Data entry at Oracle Payables Module,
you should see whether invoices can be created by matching it to PO/Receipt for Assets and Expenses ...that way data entry at the Invoice creation screen is avoided, the accounts are auto populated from Purchase Order ...

Direct Expensing out Asset with out capitalizing

Hello Asset Gurus,
Is there any way to directly expense out asset as it is received through Purchase order?
The requirement is to immediately expense out some low value components.
I know its possible to receive it as a LVA and depreciate it in the same month fully, but is there any other way of expensing out with out receiving to balance sheet?
If Yes, how should be the settings for GL accounts in account determination?
thanks
sap freak

Hi,
the issue you describe rather intents that you have no asset as accounting object. So why do you account on assets if you want to expense it directly without any impact on AA subledger?
You mentioned the immediate depreciation already, that would be one way. By the way, talking about accounts: if you do not use the LVA functionality, how should the system determine an expense account to be posted?
Another option would be to use limited transaction types, which would expense it directly with the "capitalization differences functionality" to one (expense) account maintained in the IMG for the depreciation areas which do not get APC amounts.

Problems when distributing AUC to asset

Hi all,
I have tried to search all the notes and forum but cannot find a solution.
My user tried to post a $2000 account in auc to a fixed asset account using line item distribution rule. The amount in the rule is $2000, exactly the same as the auc account.
But there is this error message when he post,
"Amount to capitalize is lower than 10,000 SGD, please check!
Message no. Z3 002"
But he has posted amount less than 10,000 before and there are no such limitation. I cannot identify where or what causes the limitation.
Anybody can help?
Albert Lee

Hi,
I have tried t.code oba0 but it is not recognized. I am using 4.0B
oba4 I got the following result
Upper limits for posting procedures
Amount per document 1,000,000,000,000.00
Amount per open item account item 10000,000,000.00
Cash discount per line item 10.000%
Permitted payment differences
Revenue 10%
Expense 10%
It seems that amount is within limit.
My AUC account is $33,300 but my user is posting one of the line item which is $2000, using the distribution rule fixed amount of $2000, which is the same as the amount to post. According to my user, he has posted smaller amount without encountering this problem.
Any other place I can check or what can i do to allow the posting?

Hi,
Can you try using transaction ABZON for your requirement? In place of offsetting account specify your expense GL.
Before posting this check the document in simulation and then post the document.
Hope this helps you.

AP Track Expense as Asset

I cannot track expense that is received from Oracle Purchasing as assets. Does anybody know about this?

when an expense is being tracked as an Asset, there should be a little box that has a heading called "Track As Asset". You will find it in the Distribution screen of the invoice . When this box is checked you will be able to track as an Asset and be able to be inventoried

Reg. Expenses against Asset

Dear Experts
We are purchasing spare parts to asset and do other expenses against that. but those and all (Asset) purchased before SAP implementation. whereas how to bring into sap system. Pls help me.
Thanks
Rajakumar.K
Edited by: Raja Kumar on Aug 18, 2009 7:15 AM

Hi,
While implementing SAP, the Asset Master Records have been updated and the GL accounts for Fixed Assets would
have been updated with the value on a cut of date taking into consideration the value of each asset including the
spare parts added to it.
There two things here :
Whether Spare parts are purchased and consumed as expenses
Whether Spare parts are adding value to the Asset.
If they are only treated as expenses the relative expense account in P & L would have been updated while uploading GLs
during implementation.
If they are adding value and the asset is still incomplete and not put to use, it would have been taken as Asset under
construction and once asset is ready for use it will be capitalized.
If the Asset is complete and in use and still some spare parts are added, it can be done through creating an asset master
sub record for the relative Asset class let us say Plant & Machinery and Asset Main say Equipment andAsset Sub record as
springs or bushes.
Please revert back if you need further clarification.

Asset transfer (CWIP to Normal Asset)

Hi,
can anyone tell me, how to transfer Assets CWIP to as a normal Asset, now we need to calculate dep for CWIP after converting as a Asset.

HI,
Use the T Code AIAB to distribute to an asset / GL. And then run AIBU to settle the same. After this settlement you can run your depreciation
Hope it helps

Tracking Projects in Fixed Assets

A consultant told us that Oracle has an add-on, or plug-in, that would allow us to track project level information in FA without having to use Oracle Projects. Of course they did not have any details.
Is anybody aware of such a product? We use one of the segments of our accounting flexfield as a project segment.
Thanks.

Assuming chart of account structure 'Project' is one of the segment.
then you can do tracking for Capitalized and CIP not for Expensed-type assets.

VAT Account- Expense or Liability

Hello all,
I need to create the VAT account to assign to the Input Tax Code. We do not have AR in SAP, and the offestting of Input and OUtput Taxes (VAT) is done outside of SAP as well. In that case, should this VAT (payable?) be an Expense or a Liability account, or an Asset account?
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you,
Nubha

Thank you both very much for your valuable input.
This is the VAT account that will be debited at the time of Vendor Invoice entry (FB60). It might be such that, the nature of the account (Liabilit/expense or asset) will be based on the activity that is being perfomed?
The set up is for a Mexican company code and right now I only have 3 tax codes assigned to the same GL (expense) account. The 3 codes are all based on the vendor location (border-11%, non border-16%, No VAT- 0%). Maybe there will be events when, at the time of Invoice entry, the VAT account should rather be a liability account?
After all, some of the VAT are recoverable and some parts are not. Just my speculation.
Your thoughts would be welcome.
Thanks again.

Post depreciation expense directly to CO_PA

Hi SAP gurus,
I want depreciation expense posted directly to CO-PA with specific characteristics such as depreciation expense of asset A should be posted to characteristic: customer X, division Y, business area Z.
These below are what i've done:
In OKB9, I checked "PrSg" button.
In OKC9, I define substitution to force system to post to PrSgs that I need.
but when depreciation run, all i see in Profitability Analysis documents is only 1 characteristic "company code".
I try to test substitution i created.Create a document in T-code: fb50 that meet prerequisite, the result is: this document display all characteristics in substitution rule. So why substitution rule not work in depreciation transaction?
Could anyone help me what is wrong in my work and how to obtain my goal?
Thanks in advance any help!

Thanks Pradeep kumar Athmakur!
You mean substitution does not work in this case, don't you?
Instead, how to use derivation to derive characteristics from fields that are not characteristics?
Such as: derive division X + distribution channel Y + business area Z from asset A. Asset is not a characteristic.
So, Using derivation is possible in this case, isn't it?
Thanks so much!

AP invoices, assets and Project Costing

Hello:
We have a business environment where some invoices constitute a single asset. As a result we would like to avoid the overhead of creating assets and processing these assets that are comprised of a single invoice through Projects (capital projects screen).
We would like to have these invoices associated with a Project, Task, Expenditure Type, Org but instead route these invoices into mass additions instead of routing them through projects.
I belive that the Concurrent process called "Mass Additions Create Program" automatically routes any invoice that has been associated with a project directly into projects and does not allow the option of having these routed to mass additions.
My question is this. Is there any alternative here? Project Costing is forcing us to route these single invoice assets though Projects. Are there any other options or ideas or do we just have to live with this short-coming?
Many thanks,
Robert

I guess the only shortcoming is if you are trying to run these one line assets into a Capital Project rather than an Indirect or Contract Project. For in the case of the latter, your intended behaviour is certainly acheivable without having to resort to a workaround.
However, if you're trying to send these one line assets from AP into PA to a CAPITAL Project, as well as from AP into FA, your stuck. The system will not allow you to push to FA from AP if the line is also going to a Capital Project and the line is distributed to an Asset Clearing Account "CIP Account".
The manual is a little confusing on this point, but I am certain that for the Mass Additions Create program to pick up a line from AP and move it to FA, the line must have a CIP account designation if it is distributed to a Project. Thus, if the Project is also a Capital Project it can't be done because of the above outlined restiction.
There was a little bolt-on developed a few years back in the TeleCom vertical at Oracle which automated the creation of the Assets from within the Capital Project as telecom companies experienced similar overhead issues with having to "manually" define and move assets out of a Capital Project into FA.
Hope this helps
