FI - PM Asset code / Material Id

Hi guyes,
Pl give clarity on the following :
1. Do we need to Creat material code in PM module where FI has also created Asset ID for that asset.
2. If no, how do PM module keep a track of a particular machinery/item and movement of the same.
3. If yes, we feel, it is duplication of code for one machinery/item in PM as well as in FI.
Is there any other issues in relation of maintaining material code in PM & maintaining asset code in FI
What is a standard practice to maintaing records of machineries in PM & FI in SAP.

Hi,
Yes, you can treat that as an asset,
Basically the procedure is as follows,
We can create as an asset till the plot is under construction, finance can treat that as an asset under construction. Once the plot is constructed then you can assign the asset number. After that you can do asset retire so that asset is no more.
Then you can sell that product based on plot value.
But however i can see one issue that asset depreciation and how to capure the correct asset value.
As per the standard asset properties FI will be doing asset depreciation but where as in your case plot value increases.
Check with finace when you go for a solution.
Thanks,
Satya.

  • ASSET CODE FOR ACCOUNT ASSIGNMENT CATEGORY IN PURCHASE ORDER.

    Sir,
    greetings!!!
    here is a procedure we follow...
    We create asset code(AS01) for capital items. when createing Capital purchase order for the item, we give A as asset for assignment category which then asks for asset code in acc assignment cat tab. this is a general process.
    Now problem is that I want the field of account assignment category in PO item tab to be automatically populated with the asset code at the time when I put the material and plant i.e capital item.
    Is it possible.
    What is happening is that the user while creating PO is not at all selecting correct asset code with reference to capital item, that has a huge effect on asset accounting..
    please provide

    Hello,
    As such there is no standard thing available, but there is one thing that you can do, that is
    Create a PO document type for Assets and for that document type allow only account assignment A and delete rest including standard account assignment that is blank.
    This way, once a person choose the document type for Assets, he will have to give the account assignment A.

  • Asset as material

    Hi All,
    I am not sure if this question should be posted to FI. the scenario is, Customer has a land maintained as asset for company. they create plot out of them and sell them. They want to maintain the inventory of plot, create them as material so that in SD, all pricing and availability check etc can be maintained for the same. Is there any way of converting this asset into material (for ex initial 100 acres of land as asset then out of them they convert 10 plots of 10 acres , giving product code to each plot ) ?
    The issue is to reduce the asset value and create the material inventory out of them.
    Please suggest if there is any other way to map this in SAP MM or FI.
    thanks,
    Binita

  • Plz tell me about the asset/capital material type.

    Hi,
    Can you plesae tell me how can i handle the scenario of asset/capital item procurement starting from the material type.
    If i will create seprate material type then from wchich material type i will copy it.
    regards,
    Dinesh

    Hi,
    You may create material type of Non-Stock / Non-Valuated. You can create asset code before creating the PO. Then you create PO for the material with account assignment A & the asset number as your account assignment.

  • Down payment request on asset code(F-47)

    sirs,
    why cant we create down payment request for po's raised against asset code??

    Hi,
    I am not sure of this function, but make sure thaqt you are using the correct special key, the one that you are using is for existing assets (I think) and so the system is assuming that no PO is relevant (because you already have the asset in your company).
    perhaps using a different code may help?

    Hi Keven,
    I had a look at the example "programmaticbuild2.vi" that you can find at this link:
    in this application the error that eventually comes out from the "BuildTargetBuildSpecification.vi" is written in the error_log.txt through a case structure.
    You can change the code inside the Error case if you want to handle the error in a different way. For example you could connect the error wire to a General Error Handler, that displays a message if an error occurs, or you could light up a led that inform you the error has occurred.

    Hi,
    Can you briefly explain what doesn "unused" asset code mean ?
    If you are looking for asset has been created but no values have been posted, you can find out from ANLC table for all value related fields are equal to zero (KANSW, ANSWL, KNAFA etc)

  • One asset value to be transferred into different new asset codes

    Hello,
    I have one asset which has to be transferred into different new asset values. The instance as below:
    Old Asset: 1000
    Value: Rs. 10000
    Transferred into
    New asset code: 1100
    Value: Rs. 3000
    New Asset: 1200
    Value: Rs. 2000
    New Asset: 1300
    Value: Rs. 5000
    How to proceed? I have tried in ABUMN with partial Transfer but unable to get the result. Need help.
    JK

    Hi,
    This can be done through ABUMN only.
    You have to post 3 transactions individually to that old asset.
    For the first ABUMN transaction choode partial transfer and choose amount specification and enter 3000
    For the second ABUMN transaction choode partial transfer and choose amount specification and enter 2000
    For the last ABUMN transaction choode Complete retiremnet.(So the balance of 5000 will be transfered to the third new asset)
    Please check.

    go to BAPI explorer.. and look for the particular application like in your case " Asset Accounting" -> Create Assets.. When You select the create Asset BAPI you can view if any messaget type is attached to this BAPI..
    But this only one way and you can find only those message type wchich are processed thru .. BAPI's as the FM in Process code..
    Some More Options;
    If U cannot find then a F4 Search in WE30 Transaction..
    Also, U can go to SE37 and look for IDOC* Search..

  • Asset Code Verification.

    Dear All,
    I have stuck into an issue and need a comprehensive response.
    I work in an Educational Institute, where a lot of assets exists.
    In an educational institute a chair is considered to be an asset.
    If i order 300 chairs, i have to take asset code from my finance department.
    My query over here is that do i have to issue 300 asset code or my work can be done with 1 asset code for 300 chairs.
    When i receive 300 chairs, i want to keep them in my central store for the sake of issuance. At this point, do i have to make 300 reservations or only 1 reservation is required for issuance of 300 chairs.

    Hi
    Usually furniture with low value "individually cheap " would capitalize but we group them in one asset no .. so i would recommend to make one asset no. for all 300 chair with Qty 300 if all has the same description..

  • Asset code

    Can any one tell me about this query
    While preparing purchase order if the asset code is wrongly  selected,  Can we able to change the asset code at the time of settlement of asset  (AIAB & AIBU transaction code) .

    First we should understand in what phase you are in. If you have not received the GR then better to change PO.
    when you talk about settlement, it deals with settling one amount from particular asset to another asset. So there you have to sellect what ever you have given at the time of PO to settle to another asset right.
