Fixed Assets Mass Reclassification

I would like to know if there is a way of using the Mass Reclassification process in Fixed Assets (E-business Suite 11.5) to move assets between major categories without losing the information stored in the DFF's
There is an option to tick 'Copy Category Descriptive Flexfield to New Category' but that only allows you to use it when you are staying within the same Major Category.
Any info would be appreciated..
Thanks

In Oracle FA Descriptive flexfield information will be copied only if assets are being reclassified within the same major category. The descriptive flexfields should be set up with the same segments in both the old and the new category. Otherwise, descriptive flexfield information in the old category may be copied incorrectly into an incorrect segment in the new category. If a segment in the old category and a corresponding segment in the new category have different formats (for example, segment 1 in the old category is alphanumeric and segment 1 in the new category is in date format), the information will be copied, but you will need to correct the descriptive information in that segment.

BDC Fixed Assets mass change

Hi Everybody!
I would like to enquire about how to edit a recording for a specific transaction.
I need to make a mass change for hundreds of fixed assets ( e.g. cost center / responsible cost center ) in SAP. In our old system version we had a t-code for this mass change called ZAMASS01. Point is, I cannot use it in the new SAP version so I have to upload this data via BDC manually,
I have tried to record the transaction ( AS02 ) in SHDB but after I saved the recording and tried to Edit it.
Apparently I do not have access for further actions. All I did was to export the .txt file but it's useless.
Can someone help me generate the BDC file?
Thank you in advance!

Fix Assets Mass Update

FI Gurus,
I will be changing the "Inventory Number Field" under the general tab in tcode AS02. How can I do this on a mass update?
Thanks for the help

Frank,
When you run a report you can save the assets in a Worklist (in the report)
Fixed Assets / Environment / Worklist
AR01 - Generate worklist select there the button WL.
When you have you asset numbers in EXCEL you can run the report and copy the asset numbers in the field asset numbers.
By case you can create a worklist.
When you found this to difficult you create to an LSMW for it

Fixed Assets Mass Addition

Hi,
We have the below requirement in 11i:
When there is a mass addition, there should be an option to assign accounting code combinations at a category or setup level so that it defaults to all items on a divisional accounting basis. This is to enable divisional accounting for Balance Sheet and Depreciation (Profit & Loss).
Is this possible using standard functionality?
thanks.
S.Sriram

Hi
I am using Solution beacon vision instance and have tried entering an asset using mass additions and below are my observations:
I entered the Asset book, Transaction date, asset category, number of units and than clicked on the Assignments button and entered the Expense Account and Location.
For the expense acount the system is automatically defaulting the following:
Company Segment Value - 01 as company value (since the default value has been set at the Key Flexfields segments window)
Account Segment Value - Depreciation expense account (This value is being defaulted from the Asset category window based on the Category setup)
Sub-Account - Defaulted as 0000 (since the default value has been set at the Key Flexfields segments window)
Product - Defaulted as 0000 (since the default value has been set at the Key Flexfields segments window)
The system is prompting me to enter the value for the department segment as it is not automatically defaulted. (No Default value has been set at the Key flexfields segments window)
I didnt find a place where in i can see the asset clearing account or cip clearing account was being asked or used while creating mass additions.
When the asset is being brought from other module such as Payables, than the Asset clearing account or CIP Clearing account would have been entered at the Invoice distributions level and that is being brought into the Mass additions window and is displayed in the source tab screen.
But apart from the above i have not been able to find a tab/field wherein system asks or prompt me to enter the other accounts as mentioned by you.
Based on the above, do you find any difference of what you might be seeing or the accounts being defaulted.
Thanks and Regards
Manish Jain.

How to get this value transferred or migrated
GL looks good but not in Fixed assets- Is there a process we can review or
find more information on it

Hi,
I am pasting my comments next to yours :
These are the issues that needs to be resolved:
• Depreciated balance are over stated in Fixed Assets and needs to be adjusted to reflect what is in GL. => I wasn't sure how this was was possible, since I assumed that your Asset depreciation journals in GL were being fed from FA. So if depreciation was thought to be incorrect in FA, its corresponding balance in GL should've been incorrect as well. But I guess that's not the case because your other questions imply that some of these assets were acquired and their might have been some conversion activity involved.
• Fixed Assets mass additions are selecting GL accounts that should not be selected. We need to know how to change the criteria for selection. +=> Check the Asset Clearing and CIP clearing accounts on your asset categories+
Later:
• We need to learn the proper way to convert assets we acquired from acquisition into our Oracle Fixed Assets system, so that depreciation start at the time we acquire the assets. => That is correct, you could change your original date placed in service to the acquisition date as part of conversion and if you have the correct prorate convention, they should depreciate the way you want it to.

Mass transfer for AUC to Fixed assets

Hi,
I would like to do a mass transfer from AUC assets to fixed assets. 900 new fixed assets have been created. However, the AUC settlement to 900 assets are very tedious. Are there any batch processing available for this ?
Or can I use via LSMW ?
Thanks.
Angel.

Hi,
Prepare an excel sheet with columns as shown in the settlement rules screen and then paste it into settle rules screen.
I hope this can be done.
Thanks,

Is there any way to rollback mass changes in Oracle 11i Fixed Assets?

Hi there,
We are currently undergoing a massive change in assets depreciation rate with amortization date starting from 01-jan-13. To achieve this we decided to use MassTransactions -> Changes in Oracle Fixed Assets.
There is a preview available, which shows the results on the assets that are affected as well as the changes that we have decided to make. On the other hand, the preview does not consider the accounting results of the change so there is no way to see how the depreciation is affected.
However, someone could see the results using the what-if analysis, but in that case there is no option to use the amortization date in order to see the changes that the adjustment will create.
The only way we could really see the final results is to perform the mass change and then do a test depreciation and see the results. But in case where something is not acceptable by us, is there ANY way to rollback/undo the mass changes we did in the specific period?
If there is no way to do this from the UI, is there any other from the db? ( I know that messing with assets is like playing with fire )
Thanks and Regards,
George

Problems with Mass Changes of fixed assets (Transaction AR31)

Hello all,
I have the next problem: I am trying to make a massive update of fixed assets , by means of the transaction ar31, but the system goes directly to the transaction so01 .
That I must do for being able to execute the transaction of normal way?
Thanks.

I think the same, but I don't understand :
<i>for a simple change better use BDC to tcode AS02.
-> you can use transaction-recorder SHDB</i>
I was investigating and I managed to deactivate wf, now I can execute the transaction, but not successful. The system show the next message " They do not exist responsible for task " and when checking the customizing the fixed assets (OAWF) the task have a responsible.
So I do not know that to do.
I hope you can help me

New user to Oracle 11i who needs help on creation of new fixed asset class

Hi all,
I am new to my Company who is using Oracle 11i. And the Company has a new class of fixed asset and a GL code has been created. But there is no link between the Fixed Asset Manager and the GL code, i.e. depreciation is not linked, additions are not captured into "Cost register", no asset number was assigned in Oracle. Please help.
Thanks,
Simon

Hi.
No, Simon, it does not work that way.
First, be sure that the distribution line has the flag "Track as Asset" checked.
Second, the GL Account to be used on the distribution line must be the one defined, in the FA Asset Category, as the Asset Clearing Account.
In FA, navigate to /Setup/Asset System/Asset Categories. Following, query a Category. There you can see which account has been used as the Asset Clearing Account.
You can use as many Asset Clearing accounts as you which, but normally, all Categories share the same account.
Now reverse the distribution line and cretae a new one with the correct account. Post it, run the Mass Additions Process and you will see the that the addition was created.
Hope this helps.

Schedulling Concurrent Program in Fixed Assets

Hi Team,
Currently we are working on the Oracle Assets implementation. We want to know that what all concurrent programs like Post Mass addition program that are normaly scheduled by the business? Client wants to plan the concurrent programs that should be scheduled in Fixed Assets. So based on the experience with the business users, kindly guide us that what all programs should be scheduled in Fixed Assets?
Thanks
Garima Arora
Ph no 9642355228

Hi Garima,
While uploading assets into the system you may have to run
1) Post mass additions for adding assets to corp books from interface table.
2) Periodic mass copy to copy assets into tax books from corp books.
Other than this you may have to schedule 'Depreciation run' request set to close the books at the end of every period.
Thanks,
Vinod

Delete Worklist created in Fixed Assets thru AR31

In Fixed Assets, i created and released an worklist using t-code AR01 and AR31 for Cost Center mass change few days back. I cant manually change any cost center in asset master record for those assets already in worklist and it still shows its status as "In Process"! My substitution rule is correct but somehow its not processing further. If you can create and edit worklist, you should be able to delete it as well.
Can you delete the worklist if its in process mode? Do i need to have authorization for it?
Plz help.

First delete the substitution you have created for the work list, also check if you have authorization to delete substitution

Is there any API to update Fixed Asset minor category ?

Hi,
My client need to update the minor category of 3000 Assets.
Is there any API to mass update Fixed Asset minor category ?
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe,
You could use the reclass API : FA_RECLASS_PUB.DO_RECLASS
Based on the new minor category, derive the correct asset category and pass it to this API along with other required parameters.

Fixed Assets: Changing Category, Depreciation, life

hi
i have an requirement where we need to change asset category, depreciation method, no depreciation and life(1 month). And want to make total depreciation to zero.
Ex:
Asset#A1 already depreciated some amount.
Original category X and degault rules are set to Depreciable.
Defined to new category Y and associate default rules to all CORP and TAX books to not depreciate.
Changed from category X to Y
Now after reclassification, it is depreciating entire amount of the asset and posting to current open period. As the reclassification does not default the new category depreciation flag, it is depreciating entire fixed asset cost immediately. I didn't run depreciation.
Now how do i change YTD depreciation to zero?
Thanks in advance for all your suggestions.....
Need it immediately.....

Hmm, did you not test this out in a test environment first before doing this in production? Can you be specific on the choices that you made when you changed this asset? Maybe you chose to expense the adjustment in the current period rather than to amortize? Because you originally had it in a depreciable status, then changing it to new financial information, looks like it is choosing to expense the remaining asset cost immediately (which is why you are getting depreciation without having run depreciation). You may need to contact Oracle support at this point to find out how to best recover from this. Though if just one asset, you can just do a journal entry to reverse the depreciation. Then you would want to contact support to find out what is the best way in the future to make this kind of change. The documentation unfortunately does not address the kind of change you were making here. Doe show that it is important to get the depreciation setup correct before activating an asset.
