FI-AA / CO - Impossible to input cost center in asset acquisition

Hello everyone,
I have a question about asset acquisition postings (transaction ABSO).
In first item of the document (with posting key 70) i click on 'Additional account assignement' but fields 'Cost center' and 'Profit center' are both locked (no possible entries).
I state that:
AA
1) Additional account object as KOSTL (Cost center) is active in AA customizing
2) Account assignment object for dep. area 01 (trsx. ACSET) displays KOSTL for '*' all Asset transaction type
GL
1) In Account master data field status group provides Cost center as optional entry
CO
1) Cost center is active for the relating controlling area
2) The acquisition account is correctly opened as statistical cost element
The same thing happens if i try to post with transaction AB01 instead of ABSO, but if I remove 'A - Asset' from transaction OAMK (Change control of reconciliation Accounts) i could input cost center in a generic FI posting.
How i could insert cost center code in transaction ABSO for the first item of the document ?
Why the transaciont did not inherit cost center from Asset master data ?
Some parameterization missed in CO customizing (or GL or AA) ?
Thanks and bye
M.M.

Hi,
Please check the setup as follows:
1. Go to Financial Accounting -> Asset Accounting -> Integration with the general ledger -> Additional account assignment
     objects -> Activate Account Assignment Objects. Is the filed 'Agreement' is set as 'X' for object COST CENTER ? If this
     indicator is checked, you are not able to enter cost center when posting acquisition, even via tcode F-90. This ensures the
     consistency of the cost center value with that in asset master data.
     However, the cost center will not be inherited from asset master data before you change message status, as described in
     next step.
2. Go to OBA5. Enter Application Area 'KI', click Enter and then switch off message 098.
Hope this helps...

No accounting document created for distributed cost center and asset

Hi experts,
Why there is no accounting document created during GR for distibuted cost center and asset?
Thanks

Sorry guys, there's nothing to do with the config of the account assignment. The postings are ok for single cost center or single asset. SAP system message (info messsage) " Goods receipt for distributed cost center will be non valuated" are given when you are trying to unticked the GR non valuated.
If someone could explain what is the logic behind that behavior.
Thanks again.

Difference between cost center & Responsible cost center in asset master

I want to know difference between cost center & responsible cost center in asset master on following perspective.
1. Financial accounting veiw -
2. Business & report veiw.
I have read through F1 help
Cost Center
Key uniquely identifying a cost center.
Use
The SAP system uses the cost center assignment in the asset master record to determine the cost center affected when the following types of asset posting are made:
Fixed asset depreciation
Gain/loss from asset sales
Cost center responsible for asset
Cost center that is responsible for the asset, but which does not carry the depreciation for the asset.
Example
For example, the cost center "vehicles" can be responsible for all vehicles, while other cost centers carry the depreciation for the vehicles
I can understand from F1 what will be the impact on finance accounting. My question is how it helps in reporting etc & business logic for using responsible cost center. Which report will be usefull to see data at responsible cost center.
Regards

Change of Cost center for Assets --- AS02

Hi,
I have one asset 1234. for that Already we closed the year 2008.
In the Asset master we are using Cost Center -- ABCD, but from 2009.04.01 m i want to change the Cost Center -- XYZ. For that i tried to change the cost center in following way;
1. In AS02-- Time independent data-- i enter the new interval effective from 2009.04.01 then i was saving the asset master,
But while saving one error Msg is coming
"Automatic Transfer is not Possible for Asset 1234. "
Details of SAP message :
"   Automatic transfer is not possible for asset E8 840200000066-0
    Message no. AMOC 001
Diagnosis
    You changed assignments to organizational units for asset E8
    840200000066-0. The indicator for 'time-independent organizational
    units' is set for this company code in Asset Accounting Customizin
    This means that the system is supposed to create a transfer docume
    automatically.
    However, asset E8 840200000066-0 manages one of the following:
    o   Open items
    o   Investment measures
    o   Down payments
    Therefore, the system could NOT automatically create a transfer document. "
So please tell me , How can i change the Cost center in Asset Master.
Sachin

We have many company codes and all company codes have same configuration and All company code have time independent settings.So why this message is only coming for this asset class and in this company codes only. I tried in other company codes with same asset class, but its working, No error message is coming.

How to change cost center in Asset Master record ?

Hi SAP Gurus,
My client is asking me to change cost centers in Asset Master records using LSMW. Currently, the field cost center is in display mode. In order to change the cost center, the field cost center must be in change mode while recording in LSMW. I have changed screen layout rule for Asset Master data. I have selected radio button "Optional" for cost center in screen layout for Asset Master data. But still cost center field is in display mode in Asset Master record. It must be changeable.
Please suggest me how I can resolve the issue.

Hi Saravana,
We can change the cost center for AuC Investment measure at WBS element level. For that purpose we need to go to AuC Investment measure Asset master record and check WBS element under Origin Tab. Double click on WBSE and then check the cost center under Assignment tab. And also check the cost center in Asset master record for the same. Now you can go to T.Code CJ12 (Change WBS Element) and change the cost center for the same. Once you make changes system automatically change the cost center in asset master record for the same.
Note: - Now you have to identify all the AuC Investment measure Assets and the WBS Element for the same. Then change the cost center in WBS Element record. And the corresponding changes will be done in relevant Asset master record automatically.
But before making the change please check with the PS/PM consultant regarding changes in WBS element. Means where it will effect?

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.

we are buying with Asset (A) and Cost center in PO
During year end and month end activity, is it possible to transfer part of amount booked from Asset to Cost center and From cost center to Asset. For Example, if we booked 100$ for Asset, is it possible to keep 70$ for asset and transfer 30$ to another cost center ?
If I purchase 1000$ for particular cost center, and i want to move 300$ to asset under construction, is it possible to book like this ?
Please confirm.

Hi,
I am rewriting my question.
we are buying with Asset (A) and Cost center account assignment in Purchase.
During year end and month end activity (Reclass), is it possible to transfer part of amount booked from Asset to Cost center. the same way is it possible to transfer From cost center to Asset. For Example, if we booked 100$ for Asset, is it possible to keep 70$ for asset and transfer 30$ to another cost center (not to differner cost center of same asset) ?
If I purchase 1000$ for particular cost center, and i want to move 300$ to asset under construction, is it possible to book like this.

Many thanks for the kind advice in advance?

Vijay Kumar,
Our version is 2005. According to Julie Jamieson's advice, in version 2007, thie field "Distr. Rule" = "Cost Center". Is it really impossible for version 2005 to input the cost center in Goods Issue or Goods Receipt? Your kind advice will be highly appreciated.

Derivation of Funds Center from cost center for Asset PR/PO in FM

Hello Experts,
We configured new FM area and relevant BCS settings. It is working fine except PR or PO for Account assignment category A.
Issue: system is not able derive funds center from cost center in the asset master. cost center is not updated in EBKN table for Asset PR.
we have maintained the following;
1. Funds center is activated in Asset account assignments
2. Maintained derivation rule with function module: FMDT_READ_MD_ASSET
3. Derivation rule for cost center to funds center also maintained
If maintain funds center manually in PR it is working fine and consuming budget also.
Requirement: How derive funds center from cost center assigned in asset. I have verified all tickets raised in this forum, but nothing has answered my question.
Request you to provide solution for above issue.
Thanks in advance for support.
Regards,
Chalapathi

Hi Venkata,
You have two derivation rules, first related to Asset function module and second one is related to CC and FC combination.
You need to maintain the function module derivation rule first then you need to maintain the derivation rule related to combination of CC and FC. Because first you need to derive CC from asset master and then you need to derive fund center with reference to this CC.

How to change cost center in asset master data through mass changes

Hi sap gurus,
Hi i have 20 assets i have to change the cost center through mass changes provide the solution.
regards,
ramanjaneyulu.

Hi,
For 20 assets it won't be useful to write a CATT or LSMW. So, either enter it manually or you could correct directly in the tables (ANLZ), though it's generally not recommended.

BA & cost center in asset posting

HI all,
i have 2 questions:-
1) 1 asset master - AA001, having BA as BA001 & CCTR as C001. then request to change as BA001 & C002. BUT C002 belongs to BA002. can we have this kind of setting other than changing the assignment of BA at cost center master?
2) usually upon depreciation run, the entry will be
    dr. depreciation exp (BA001, C001)
      cr. accum depr (BA001, C001)
   can we make setting to make the entry for depreciation as below:-
      dr. depreciation exp (BA001, C001)
         cr. accum depr (BA002, C002)
pls help.

Hi,
for Q1 - we will do transfer asset to a new setup of BA n CCTR.
for Q2, previously our asset is set to BA001 & C001. then we need to transfer the old asset to a new setup of BA n CCTR.
we want the acc depr remain in the old BA and exp will charge to the new BA. it's for operating concern. if we transfer using normal ABUMN, the depr still as normal - charge to the same BA (exp n accum). but after depr run, we need to do reclass again to get back the correct value.
is it a good business practise to do such way? but can it be done?
thanks.
