Evaluation Group Default

Hi SAP Gurus,
I've configured the evaluaiton group 4 as per my requirement, and trying to set the default values by asset class.
Trying to make the change to an asset class through SPRO I find all user fields locked, - grey unable to change even when expicitly in Change mode with a SAP_ALL user id in Development environment.
Can anyone suggest why this might be the case, and what needs to be done to allow the asset class defaults to be changed successfully?
Andrew

Andrew,
In IMG, go to AA-Master data-Screen layout-Define Screen layout for Asset Master data. Here, for each asset class for Logical field grp 4, specify Evaluation grp 4 as either optional or required. That should solve your problem.
Thanks

Asset Evaluation Group Link to Asset Class

Hi
I have a requirement of Linking Asset Evalaution Group with Asset Class.
For Exapmpe;
Assetc Class is                Vehicle
Evaluation group 1            Light, Heavy Medium
Evaluation Group2             Two, Four,
Etc.
At the time of Master creation, Under allocation Tab, i am getting all evaluation groups, I mean, in 1st Group i have more than 50 entries.
Now the requirement is to get the evaluation group based on the Asset class.
I do understand, evaluation group creation time,. we don't have option to link with Asset Class.
Also, there is an option to default Evaluation group for Classes.
But our requirement is to get filter based on Class, so that at the time of mater data creation, to avoid mistakes..
Can we meet this requirement ??
Thanks in advance

Hi Ajay,

You are right, Validation is the only Option.
But i have lots of evaluation group in each category.
I dont think client is going to accept it...
how about AIST0002
Can we do something on this...

Evaluation group issue

Dear Experts,
We have created new Evaluation group in t-code YIDFI_AA0001 (table maintainence) and also in SPRO path Fin Accounting>>Asset Acct>>Master Data>>>User fields>>>Define 4 character evaluatin groups.
My question here is, does the values maintained in Evaluation group are defaulted in the Asset Master (values like evaluatin group 2 and useful life)??
Because when we checked one asset, we did not see the new evaluation group and useful life.
Please explain if we need to manually select the evaluation group in the asset or should it get defaulted.
Thanks in advance
Leena...

Leena-
The values you maintain in customizing will not default in the master data. In the master data, you will have to select what you want. It works like this. Lets say you have maintained four evaluation groups.
Evaluation group 1: You maintain some entries for this field like state abbreviations (MO, IL, CA, AL, NO, FL)
Evaluation group 2: You maintain some entries for this field like some codes for type of buildings (FBUS - Factory building us, ABUS - Administration building US)
Evaluation group 3: entries like department codes (ADM - Admin, PRD - Production, etc)
Now when you create an asset master, you can choose from the entries you maintained in customizing for the respective evaluation group.
For example, i am planning to purchase an asset for my Missouri office, part of admin building and belongs to production dept.
So you choose
Evaluation 1: MO
Evaluation 2: ABUS
Evaluation 3: PRD
So, you will have to maintain them manually when creating master data.
Hope i have answered your question.

Post new asset's evaluation group

I need to post another evaluation group for the company's assets, but AFAK, there are only 5 evaluation groups of assets that's displayed in asset's master data --> allocation tab. When I access the display assets transaction (AS03) it seems that the company only use/activate evaluation 1, 2, and 5. How can I activate the other evaluation group (3 & 4), and update their contents as a desired new evaluation group?
Thanks a lot..

Hi,
Use TRX OAVA to enter the contents. With TRX OACB you can change the text of the eval grps.
Kind regards

Changing Evaluation Group Name for Asset

Kindly advise.

Re: Asset Master field name change
Ravi Sankar Venna Nov 8, 2011 2:59 PM (in response to John Peter)
You can only change the names of evaluation groups
IMG ==> Financial Accounting ==> Asset Accounting ==> Master Data ==> User Fields ==> Change Key Words in the Evaluation Groups
You can use customer enhancement AIST0002 in order populate user fields in asset master.

Asset evaluation groups

Hi,
I have created the 4-character evaluation group and 8-character evaluation group in OAVA AND OAV8.
But where to give the Table fields for these group which are to be get select in the Reporting?
and please confirm configuration in OAVA and OAV8 is enough to use them in Dynamic selection of the Reporting.
And can i use them in all the asset reporting Tcodes?
Regards,
Vidya

Hi,
Yes you can get eval groups in report output...
1. try creating a sort version OAVI with eval groups,
2. use this sort version on selection screen of your report, run the report
3. Change display variant on the report output to include the new fields (eval groups) and save this variant
4. use sort version and this variant to see eval groups on your report output.
Thanks,
Avi

Evaluation Group

There is a tab for Evaluation Group in assets. LEt me know how it is useful for reporting. I went to SPRO in Asset Accounting --> Master Data --> User field. I am unable to know how to use groups. Let me know what is the use & how it needs to be configured.

Hello Dear
In addition to the predefined organizational structures in Asset Accounting, the evaluation groups and certain user fields allow you to classify assets using a feature in the master record.
Evaluation groups can be used to meet your own particular needs for classifying assets. Five evaluation groups are available in the system. They are not pre-defined or limited in regard to their possible uses. You can define evaluation groups in FI-AA Customizing. There is one 8 character and four 4 character evaluation groups in the system. You define their specific features and meanings (under: Master Data-> User Fields). The names of the evaluation groups can be alphanumeric.
Evaluation groups are user defined fields that you may use for information purposes or as match codes. For example we use a field as a drop box to input the cycle count# to identify the frequency of the physical verification. Another group is used to identify the dept. within the cost center where it is used.
There are five evaluation groups in the asset master record that you can use in parallel (four that have 4 characters, and one with 8 characters). Using the screen layout control, you specify whether the evaluation group is a required entry field during master data maintenance. In the Info system, you can define the evaluation group as
A selection criteria (under Dynamic selections in the report selection screen)
And as a sort criterion (see Sort Versions).
You can also change the key words for the evaluation groups in FI-AA Customizing. The system displays the changed key words in all screens, in reporting, and in the short texts for field help.
Hope it Helps
Cheers

Evaluation Group - Asset Accounting

Dear All
While creatinig an Asset Master Record, in the Allocations Tab, there is EvaluationGroup1 ,
.........Evaluation Group 5 fields.
Can anyone explain me with an example.
Thanks and Regards
Kanwaljit

Hi,
Evaluation groups are majorly used for asset reporting purpose.
These are part of master record. So you can maintain master data information in this field to identify an asset in asset accounting module.
In our company we are using evaluation group field as sub asset class.
Ex: For Asset Class Computers Hardware.this asset class will cover so many things like desktop computers, laptop computers, servers, etc.
If you want a report for asset balances in this asset class, it will give total balance of the asset class. So in this case if you create one evaluation group for each item (desktops, laptops), you that you can get the balances for that particular item.
Create one sort variant with evaluation group field ORD41/ORD42/ORD43/ORD43/GDLGRP. (TCODE-S_ALR_87009120 - Define Sort Variants)
use this sort variant while u are running asset balances report (S_ALR_87011964 - Asset Balances by Asset Class)
so that you will get balances for each type of asset within one particular asset class. (Create output layout according to your requirement for asset balances report)
Anyway we are using this field as a category of asset under each asset class. according to your requirement you can use this field for other purpose to identify in asset accounting.
Keep me posted for further clarifications.
Thanks,
Srinu

Evaluation Groups

Hello to all SAP Gurus,
I am finding the difficult in customizing the evaluation groups in asset accounting.
Please anyone can help or guide me how to customize the evaluation groups.
I am very much thankful to all in advance.
I am really appreciated if anyone can send me all the steps with the print screen layout
on the following email id : [email protected]

Hi,
Evaluation groups are used for Reporting purposes. First you need to decide how are you going to categorize the 4 Evaluation groups. Then you can configure the Evaluation groups using the following menu path:
Financial Accounting -> Asset Accounting ->Master Data ->User Fields -> Define 4-Character Evaluation Groups
In this configuration, define the Evaluation group in the field number i.e., 1, 2, 3 or 4 depending on the evaluation group in which you want the value as a drop down menu.
In the field Evalat. grps 1-4 enter the values. Enter the description of the value in the field Description.
If you want the heading of the evaluation group to be changed as per your requirements, then maintain the following menu path:
Financial Accounting -> Asset Accounting ->Master Data ->User Fields -> Change Key Words in the Evaluation Groups.
Hope this helps..
Regards
Mahendra

Evaluation Groups for a Specific Asset class

Hi All,
After creating the new evaluation groups, is there any way out to link those eval goups with the specific asset class. Please let me know if anybody can give more inputs on this.
Thanks and regards,
S.Sumana

Hi Sumana,
Evalaution groups are defined at client level, but not asset class level.
For ex: If you have 4 asset classes. (A, B, C, and D)
There are 4 evaluation group fields are available, so activate Evl Grp field 1 for asset class A in screen layout for asset master data.
And Evl Grp field 2 for asset class B and so on...
While creating evlaution groups, there is a field called NO before evl grp key field. There if you mentain 1, then that evel grp will be available to use in EVl Grp 1 field only.
Ex: 1 ABC Test Evl grp
So you can use ABC evel grp in EVal GRp field 1 only
If you have more asset classes, then you have go with an validation rule in GGB0 in AA master data level.
Thanks,
Srinu

Need to create Evaluation Group

Hello Gurus,
We need to create 2 new evaluation groups.
The groups to be created are of the format - XX02 and XX13.
Is OAVA the right T-Code?
Also how can i test the changes in Q?
PS - Just starting to understand SAP. So please guide in any way needed for proper questioning/posting next time.
Thank you!

Thank you Sitaram,
I am sure you can help me out with the following query too.
The client had asked us to create 2 new evaluation groups. And there are 4 possible Evaluation Group Numbers (1-4) under which we can create different evaluation groups.
So we should be asking the client about the Evaluation Group numbers too? under which they want the new evaluation groups?
Thanks for the patience!
Also let me know how i can award points. New to everything
