Fixed Asset calculates extra period for Depreciation

Hi All,
I have imported the Fixed Asset for 2007B for the Year 2010. while checking the import, i notice that the system calculates an additional period for depreciation.
Here is my scenario :
a. Asset Cost = 15,863.12 (purchased on 31-May-2007).
b. Useful Life = 36
c. Remaining Life = 4
The above are displayed according to import file.
At the Depreciation Tab, there are 5 rows of planned depreciation calculated. Period 01 to Period 05.
How can the system calculates 5 periods when there is only 4 remaining periods for the asset?
This happens to all the assets being imported.
Please advise.
Jessie

Further information.
The Net Book value = 1762.94
with Accumulated Depreciation = 14100.18.
So the remaining 4 periods should be calculated as = 440.735 (per month for 4 months).
but it is displayed as 352.59 per month for 5 months.
The Fixed Asset is setup as Monthly Basis.
Using Straight Line Mehtod = Net Book Value / remaining life.

FIXED ASSET Note 113711 - FA ISR Depreciation Adjust. & IMPAC Balance Aver

Hi Gurus, I have a question about this note referent at Fixed Asset , in the next topic:
After release upgrade the import has to be repeated for the new
release.
Please take the transport from SAPSERVx, path:
~ftp/specific/latinamerica/MX/note.0113711
Directory note.0113711 contains the following transports files:
- For Rel. 3.0F and 3.1 please transport:
R900246.LD3 (data)
D900246.LD3 (cofile)
which will create the next objects:
DEVC ZAA Development class
DOMA ZINDE Domain for INPC value
DTEL ZINDE Data element for INPC value
FUGR ZINP Function group for table maintenance
PROG ZAAUFW01 MAIN PROGRAM
PROG ZXANLU04 Include with calculation logic
TABL ZINPC Table for INPC values
I don't understand the sentence :
"Please take the transport from SAPSERVx, path:
~ftp/specific/latinamerica/MX/note.0113711"
I don't know how connect at this server for download files .LD3.
that request the note 113711.
Thanks for the help.

Thanks for your answer Sreenivas, I have a doubt :
The first part of the note refered at release 3.0 and 4.0.
I have worked the version 5.0, and in the Note 113711 there is a paragraph that says:
"If you want to transport the INPCs values into the ZINPC table, please
AFTER having transported the previous files, transport files:
R900248.LD3
K900248.LD3
which contains the INPCs values since 1950.
- For Rel. 4.0B and after, please transport:
R900040.LD1
K900040.LD1
In rel. 4.0B and after, the program uses the INMA indexes tables. There is no need to create a table ZINPC anymore to maintain the INPCs values.
The Index that the program uses is the general one defined in the Inflation Method for the company code for FI. It uses the definive values of it."
My question is if I have download the files *.LD3 for release subsequent at 4.0 because I actually have worked version 5.0 of SAP R/3.
Thanks for your answer.

How to repeat depreciation run for fixed assets

Dear Sir(s),
we are on SAP B PL03. We would like to re-run depreciation for some fixed assets to correct a previous depreciation run which was executed by mistake. The depreciation was posted to the GL accounts.
We are not able to get this option of re-running the depreciation even after changing the depreciation types of these fixed assets in the fixed asset master data. The depreciation run screen just displays a list of all previous depreciation runs.
Asif

Hi Asif,
The last depreciation you have run showing you in depreciation window,that depreciation you executed by mistake van remove by right click on that depreciation row and remove that row. Doing this your financial posting will be reverse then you can execute depreciation for the same period.
Thanks

Fixed Assets Posting period

Good Afternoon,
We have a customer that accidently created a posting period for a Year, e. g. 2011-01, when it was supposed to be created for months (12). He then deleted the period from the Posting Periods in System Initialization and created the correct period, e.g. 2011. In the fixed assets add-on both periods remained and the add-on can´t be updated accordingly.
When they did the fiscal year change they changed from 2010 to 2011-01, instead of doing to the correct one, 2011. Then the fixed assets values were updated for the period 2011-01 (and not for 2011).
Now they need to do the depreciation run for January (and next months) and they can only select the option 2011 (can't select 2011-01). The depreciation runs but, in the end, doesn´t post anything in the journal entry.
What can I do to solve this issue?
Thank you,
Susana Cunha.

Hi Gordon,
How can I break the links related to fiscal year change done from 2010 to 2011-01?
When I try to do fiscal year change again i can't select the 2011 year, the field is automatically filled with 2011-01. Then I can´t update de fixed assets values for the period 2011.
Thank you,
Susana.

[B1-V9] Cancel automatic depreciation run/Fixed Assets

Dear Expert,
Could you please let'us know how to cancel automatic depreciation in fixed assets
Depereciation : Depreciation run
Possibility to cancel capitalization: yes
Version: 9 , PL:09
Thank you for your feedback
Kind regards,
Med

Hi
Below is the SAP Note for Cancel Depreciation.
1974682 - Posted Depreciation is cleared after Captalization is canceled
Symptom
Posted Depreciation in Fixed Asset Master Data ->Depreciation tab is cleared after Captalization is canceled.
Reproducing the issue
Prerequisites:
Enable Fixed Assets is ticked Administration->System Initialization->Company Details->Basic Initialization.
Scenario:
1. Define a Fixed Asset
2. Create AP invoice (Purchasing AP->AP Invoice) or Capitalization (Financials->Fixed Assets->Capitalization) for fixed asset and planned depreciation for each month is 100 for example
3. Run depreciation to post depreciation for this asset, for example 400 is shown in 'Posted Depreciation' column in Fixed Assets Master Data ->Depreciation Tab
4. Cancel the document you have created in step 2 via Data->Cancel
Actual behavior:
In fixed asset add-on: The posted depreciation remains in the 'Posted Depreciation' column in Fixed Assets Master Data ->Depreciation Tab
In Business One version 9.0: Value in 'Posted Depreciation' column in Fixed Assets Master Data ->Depreciation Tab is cleared.
Cause
Behavior change.
Solution
In Business One version 9.0, there are three status for asset master data, which are "New", "Active" and "Inactive". If the status of the asset is "New" after its first capitalization is cancelled, no data would be shown in the grid in Asset Master Data's Depreciation tab. But users can still run depreciation again to clear the posted depreciation.
And In Business One version 9.0, users can define the default behavior when canceling the first capitalization document via Document Settings form -> Per Document tab, and choose Capitalizatindocument -> check box 'Deactivate Fixed Asset After Capitalization is Cancelled'. If this check box is chosen, the status of asset master data will be "Inactive" after its first capitalization is cancelled, otherwise, the status will be "New".

HI Experts,
Is there any provisions for Fixed Assets related process entry

About shutdown fixed asset

hi,my client requested stop depreciation for some of fixed asset for maybe 3 months,it means no depreciation posted to those fixed asset during the period of shutdown.
then i tryed to shutdown those asset in asset master,then i check depreciation,i found those already posted depreciation will be reversed after shutdown.
but i just want to stop depreciation ,i dont want to reverse those already posted depreciation,can somebody tell me how to do that?

Hi
Go for shut down approach. But your depreciation key should allow shut down. check your depreciation key configuration
In asset master data
Go to time dependent terms,
Define the appropriate time interval for shutdown
Set the shutdown indicator
The system does not calculate the depreciation for the shut down period,
The useful life of the asset will increase to the extent of shutdown period.
When you remove the shutdown indicator, system automatically resumes the depreciation calculation.

How to import Fixed Asset Master File

Hi all expert,
I used BAMasterDataImportFile to import the Fixed Asset. But the message as below appear :
"Import end;Number of successfully imported assets: 0;Number of processed assets:2"
After complete import the fixed asset master files still empty. May i know anybody can advise me for import fixed asset files?
Thank for help.
From:
Eric Tan

Hi Eric,
Please refer your error with the possible reasons below (from SAP notes):
Error message: "Import End; Number of imported assets:0; Number of processed asset:2"
Reason: Note that there is no error. It is usually because of the conflict of Depr. Start Date , Use Life and Remaining Life.
The following is a list of possible errors:
1. Fixed Asset in Production Mode -- Make sure Fixed Asset is in Transfer mode before importing.
2. The number of semicolons for each line is not 66 -- For each line, each field must be separated by a semicolon(, the number of separators( should be 66. Number( = 66.
3. Wrong Date Format DD-MM-YYYY or MM-DD-YYYY -- The correct date formats should be : YYYYMMDD, YYYY-MM-DD, YYYY.MM.DD or YYYY/MM/DD
4. Asset Class unavailable -- The asset class in your csv file does not exist in Fixed Assets; make sure the used asset classes are defined in Fixed Assets before importing.
5. Depr. Type unavailable -- The given depreciation type does not exist in Fixed Assets, make sure the used depreciation type is defined in Fixed Assets before importing.
6. Depr. Area unavailable -- You entered data for a depreciation area that does not exist. If there are only 2 depreciation areas in Fixed Assets do not enter data for area 3 or 4.
7. Depr. Area is inactive for asset class -- You entered data in the csv file for an area that is not active for the given class in Fixed Assets.
8. Life parameter is negative or the remaining life is greater than planned life -- All life parameters should be positive, the remaining life should be less than the planned life
Life Parameters(Depr. Start Date, Useful Life and Remaining Life) are mathematically incorrect for one of the areas in csv. Remaining life = Useful life - (the difference between the first date of import year and depreciation start date). Note that it is not the difference between import date(the date you import Fixed Asset Master Data) and depreciation start date. You must calculate the remaining life correctly. For example, you want to import an asset in 2005, you import it on 2005-09-01 ,then the first date of the import year is 2005-01-01, Depr. Start Date = 2003-06-01, Useful Life = 60 months, then
      Remaining Life = 60 - (2005-01-01 - 2003-06-01) = 60 - 19 = 41 months.
      The following calculation is wrong:
      Remaining Life = 60 - (2005-09-01 - 2003-06-01) = 60 - 27 = 33 months
Import Fixed Asset for the current fiscal year -- The fixed asset master data import function is designed for legacy data importing. We recommend you to import fixed asset master in the past years. If you insist on importing an asset for the current fiscal year, make sure the depreciation start date is the first date of current fiscal year and the Remaining Life is the same as the Useful Life.
Year Values -- the sum of the accumulated depreciation (planned, unplanned and special depreciation) in the csv file is greater than the acquistion and production costs.
Also, don't forget to change the fixed asset mode to transfer. Administration>System initialization>Company Details> Basic initialization tab.
Hope this helps.

Import Fixed asset Master Data From Microsoft Excel

Hi
I'm trying to import fixed master data throught .txt file but it shows me the folowing error "The depreciation start date of asset "A2" for depreciation area "COLGAP" cannot be in the import fiscal year"
Where A2 is Fixed Asset Code and COLGAP is "Depreciation Area"
I attach some images with fixed assets setups and data template
Do you have any idea what is the error?
Thank you so much

Hi Deepak
Thanks for your answer. I checked your document and I followed it step by step, but I have another issue when I tried to import. It says "Cannot import "A2"; its active depreciation areas must be the same as those defined in the corresponding asset class"
I attach again the images. Can you tell me what is my problem?
Thank you

Fixed Asset: market value

Hi All!
Due to IAS we must post an special provision:
when the inmaterial fixed asset value market is minor than fixed asset net value we have to post a provision by depreciation (in order to reflect the possible loss when we sale it)
This provision does not affect the fixed asset countable net value. So that provision don't have post in 01 depreciation area. But:
1- when we sell the assets the provision must appear in the sale affecting to the benefit or loss.
2- I need to know the provision for each fixed assets. That's why we need SAP shows its in FI-AA area.
With the transactions under Manual Value Correction folder (fixed asset menu) the fixed asset net value is modified.
We've tried to implement a second area doesnt affect to fixed
asset values from the 01 depreciation area and vice verse to post there this provision. But The system doesnt allow that (message error number AC528)
Do have more ideas?
Thank You in advance

Hi Vijay, thank you for your answer but...
It seems that Transferred Reserves is used to sell a fixed asset and transfer the benefit to other asset (If I've undertood right)
I put an exemple to fix the question:
I adquiered a fixed asset by 1.000 euros (a building) in 2005
- Deprecation key: LIND (Str.-line) / Use Life: 10 years
In 2007 my building on second hand house market is valuated in 500 euros (minor than fixed asset countable net value 800 euros).
So I must post a provision by depreciation by 300 euros. That post does'nt affect to fixed asset countable net value (is just a provision). My fixed asset countable net value is 800 euros.
In 2010 I sold my asset by 1.000 euros. My fixed asset countable net value is 500 euros. So my profit is 500 euros. Then I must to reverse the provision post in 2007 .
I need to post that provision related to fixed asset but without affect to asset net value, to reverse that in the asset sale.
Thank You very much

Credit Note in Fixed Assets add-on

Hi experts,
I really do not understand how Credit Note is working in this add-on.
Depreciation(accounting impact):
Dr                                                                                Cr
510000 - Depreciation (Personal Computers)        110000 - Personal Computers
So, for my Credit Note is a little bit differen(I am using Credit Note without Vendort:
I want the Credit Note to perform as following:
Dr                                                                         Cr
110000 - Personal Computers             510000 - Depreciation (Personal Computers)
My G/L setting in Fixed Assers add-on:
Balance Sheet of Asset Acc. Cost - 110000
Clearing - (for this account, I have tried placing 110000 and 510000)
Ordinary Depreciation Acc. - 510000
But, it does not work.
Please advice on that.

Hi Gordon,
I thought this account was for Credit Note purposes but it wasn't.
So, for 1st scenario I tried putting 110000 and then I made a Credit Note without Vendor thought of debiting back depreciated amount into my fixed asset account and crediting the depreciated amount in my depreciation account. The result was unfavorable, it worked out the same way as I did for depreciating my assets:
Dr                                                                    Cr
510000 - Depreciation Account                     110000 - Fixed Assets Account
In fact, for 2nd scenario I tried replacing 110000 in Clearing Account with 510000 thought of achieving my goal below:
Dr                                                                    Cr
110000 - Fixed Assets Account                     510000 - Depreciation Account
But the outcome was same exactly as 1st scenario.
How can I produce the goal in 2nd scenario, please advice.
Thank you.

Design Fixed Assets Star Schema from OLTP DB

Hi,
Scope : Design Fixed Assets logical Star Schema for Demonstrate with OLTP tables
Our platform is Oracle 10g Forms and Reports deployed on Oracle 10g App Server._ At the moment we don’t have data warehouse constructed. We are pumping OLTP Data into Staging DB thru jobs and then by using materialized views getting the data in DWH DB which is in progress.
OBIEE 10g installed and working fine for testing.
We are planning to implement OBIEE for Reporting. As a starting point I would like to design Fixed Assets star schema to demonstrate FA reports in OBIEE from OLTP Tables.
FA- OLTP Tables:_
AC_UNIT_MASTR           – Business Units
AC_ACNT_MASTR           - Nominal Codes
AC_COST_CENTR_MASTR      - Departments
AC_MANTN_ASTS           - Assets transaction table
AC_AST_BAL_DETLS           – Period wise Asset summary
AC_AST_BAL_DETLS_V      - View
To achieve this
1).Import tables in physical layer and set physical joins
2).identify and create dimensions and set complex joins and then move to presentation layer.
Please suggest best approach to design Repository
Thanks

Fixed Assets Reports - Help

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me which is the best report to run in Fixed Assets to get the planned depreciation for a particular month by asset for all the assets in a company code. I want to see the effect of the configuration change on the planned depreciation in the month in which depreciation is to be posted.
Thanks in advance
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
Just execute the standard SAP transaction AFAB in test mode. In the second window frame where it state "Reason For Posting Run", check the radio button "Planned Posting Run". Since you want to see by asset, in the 3rd frame, "Further Options", tick the Check box "List Assets". This should give you the information you require.
I hope the above helps.
Regards,
Jacob
PS: Don't forget to award the point please.

Fixed Assets - Acquisition created doesn't show

Hi all,
i am having a strange problem while using the SAP Business One Fixed Assets module. Basically i have created a Fixed Assets Acquisition (with no supplier). As soon as i press 'Add' the system shows a message at the bottom saying 'Acquisition posted successfully'. Even though this message is created when i go back on the Acquisition screen that Acquisition which I have just created doesn't show. In fact if you go on the Fixed Assets Master Data details for that Fixed Asset which you used in the Acquisition document, nothing shows under the Documents tab.
Do you have any idea of what might be going wrong?
Thanks

Dear Marvin,
After you create the acquisition, go to journal entries and check the last journal entry to verify if posting has been done in terms of accounting
