How to Credit Invoices into Asset under Construction

Hi All,
I have this quick question please.
We have credit invoices that we cannot settle to an Asset under Construction, It will not allow us to settle credit amounts. Is there anything that can be done to the Asset under Construction assets to allow for negative settlements?
I can understand that I have to go to Transaction Code OAYZ to allow negative value in all the Asset under Constructions'.
But my question as per the screen below.
Do I have select each line item (01, 10, 11, 12 &40) to flag the negative value allowed for all the Asset under Construction or just on the 01 which is the Book depreciation to flag the negative value allowed?
I need a direction please.
Thank you
Femmy John

Hi Femmy
SAP recommends to have -ve values allowed for AUC
You have to allow this for all the dep areas.. You can allow the -ve values in the Asset Master by going to to the Dep Area Tab - > Double click on each dep areas and tick the check box (your screen layout in AO21 must allow that field to be maintained)

Hi,
1) AIAB - Distribute (update a rule with G/L settlement with a GL account for 100%)
AIBU - Settle (Execute settlement)
Or
2)
Posting direct FI entry.

Settlement of WBS element down payments to an asset under constructions

The down payment (of the transactions tcode F-47 and tcode F-110), are
always settlement wbs element (tcode CJ88), we do not want to post down
payments to the receiving asset under construction (transaction type
180 or 181).
In the down payments are always taken into account in the settlement to
an asset. The settlement of the down payment is the actual reason for
the previous update of down payments in FI (Transaction type group
15). Furthermore, the settlement of down payments to assets should
not be capitalize.

When you search on this forum try to put Date range "ALL" to get more results. Please read below threads and you will get the solution.
MIRO:Transaction in area 15 contradicts the net book value rule
Transaction in area 01 contradicts the NBV
Looks like you have a negative balance in your WBS which you are trying to settle to FA.

Creation of internal order (investment order- asset under construction)

I want to capture the cost of asset under construction through internal order (controlling) not throgh Investment Measure module. How i can do this.

Hi
It is the same flow as explained by AP above
If Investment management module is active, then on settlement i believe the AUC asset is automatically generated. Therefore you have to define an asset master and then include this asset in the settlement rule of the IO. Thus on settlement the cost in the IO would flow to the asset
Thank You,

Error in dep run - Asset under construction

Hi!
Could someone please help me with the following:
My customer has a large amount of assets under construction (AuC) and also other assets. None of the assets under consctruction should have a depreciation key (or depreciation key 0000) and no depreciation accounts are allocated in transaction AO93 for AuC . But my customer now has incorrectly created a few AuC (that should NOT be depreciated at all) with depreciation key LINK. What happened?
1) Test run depreciation (AFAB) for all assets in period 1 during 2010. In test run no error log was created, everything looked fine.
2) Executed depreciation in background.
3) When looking at each of the assets in transaction AW01N I can see that all assets (both real assets and AuC with depreciation key) has depreciation posted in period 1. BUT, no depreciation has been posted in general ledger on any of the asset classes!
4) I have now changed the depreciation key on all AUC in AS02 to 0000 so that no depreciation will be calculated.
5) Trying to run AFAB again for period 2 but error message says that period 1 was terminated and that period 1 should be restarted.
6) Trying to run period 1 again in AFAB with restart but error message says "Account 'Acc.dep. accnt.for ordinary depreciation' could not be found for area 01" and refering to all of the incorrect AuC that I have corrected (to no depreciation key)
Please how can I go on? I want to reverse the depreciation in period 1 since I didn't get any posting i the general ledger. And then I want to make a new depreciation run only with correct assets (only depreciation on real assets, not on AuC).
Please help!
I am very thankful for any help!
Many many thanks in advance!

Hi,
I had the similar situation couple of months back. I followed below mentioned process and it worked out well.
1) Maintain GL account for depreciation in AO90
2) restart depreciation run for the relevant period
3) change the depreciation key to 0000
4) repeat depreciation run for the same period (It will post a reverse entry in the same month itself. So the net impact of depreciation in the same month is zero).
By the way I have a suggestion to prevent this issue in future.
You may not be able to detect this issue on test run if you execute on foreground mode because the test run execution is restricted to 1000 assets. If the error is on 1001th asset, you will not know.
Hence, always execute depreciation test run on background mode, check for any errors and execute production run only if there are no errors.
Hope this helps....

Capitalize borrowing costs to asset under construction u2013 IAS23

Dear experts,
According to IAS 23 we are required to calculate interest on capital invested in an asset under construction.
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset form part of the cost of that asset. Where funds are borrowed specifically, costs eligible for capitalization are the actual costs incurred less any income earned on the temporary investment of such borrowings. Where funds are part of a general pool, the eligible amount is determined by applying a capitalization rate to the expenditure on that asset. The capitalization rate will be the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the general pool. The amount of borrowing costs that an entity capitalizes during a period shall not exceed the amount of borrowing costs it incurred during that period.
Detail scenario
The construction of a qualifying asset is controlled by an investment measures that are managed as projects - WBS elements and settled to an asset under construction periodically. The calculated interest shall update only the determine depreciation area set on the interest profile (OPIB).
The borrowing operations are managed by money market transaction on TRM (Prod. Category 550 Interest rate instrument).
Using the interest calculation function (CJZ2 - Individual Processing or CJZ1 - Collective Processing) we encountered several problems/ restrictions.
1 u2013 When funds are borrowed specifically to a qualifying asset for example, an interest rate instrument as a money market transaction on TRM should be capitalized according to the actual incurred borrowing cost and not by a capitalization rate. How to assign the value to the WBS element?
2 u2013 When funds are part of a general pool, although we can calculate and update the effective interest rate for each borrowing transaction (TMEZ) how to determine the weighted average capitalization rate by company code and define it on the Reference Interest Rates (OBAC) to be used in the interest calculation?
3 u2013 Even if the capitalization rate is defined and updated manually in the reference interest rate for the interest calculation, how to limit the amount of borrowing costs that will be capitalized during the period? The calculated interest in period shall not exceed the amount of borrowing costs it incurred during that period.
Is there any other functionality to support interest calculation and capitalization of borrowing costs to asset under construction according to IAS23 requirements?
Please advice.

Hi,
The interest rates for capitalization and for appropriation can be collected in separate cost centers and apportioned to WBS . If you incur interests at the group level,then using accrual apportion the relevant portion to the respective C/Codes.
For arriving the weighted average i assume you take the planned interest.For restricting the planned to the actual ones use the " Budget Manager" functionality,give the actual value,set zero tolerance.This will help restricting to the actuals.
Hope this helps.

Asset Under Constructions - Settlement

Dear Gurus,
I am trying to do an Asset Under Construction - Settlement using T.Code AIBU, when i click on proceed, it gives me an error:
SYST: You cannot determine the period for rule 02 to 12/31/07
Message no. AA613
Diagnosis
The system could not determine depreciation periods on 12/31/07 for period control 02 of calculation key 0000.
What to do
Maintain the allocation of the periods for the period control you entered.
Proceed
If the period control you entered is a standard period control, you can set up the allocation of periods automatically.
Procecd
Could you guide me through this...
Thanks in advance for your help.
regards,
Raj

Hi,
Please check
Note 357375 - Settlement: AA613 for AuC intracompany transfer
There are two possibilities how to solve this problem:
a. Define period control 02 with Transactions OA84 or OAVH.
b. If you work with self-defined period controls, you can enter another period control instead of 02 in depreciation key 0000.

Asset Under Construction(AUC),During month end settlement run(via KO8G)

Hi Guys ,
please hlep on this AUC :
During month end settlement run (via tcode KO8G), if there are -ve (credit) values to be settled to an Asset Under Construction (AUC) asset which does not have sufficient +ve value in the current FY, the settlement run will prompt an error message "Balance for transaction type group 10 negative for the area 01". The TT posted via the settlement run is TT115. To get around, user has to raise a manual journal (via doc type AT) to post the -ve value to the same AUC asset via TT101. TT 115 and 101 are configured differently (see attached).
Since the Fixed Assets system does accept credit posting to AUC via a journal, is there a solution to make posting go through via the settlement run?
Regards,
Narra

You can settle the AUC value in one period and posting can be made in another period. in the same you can give the different asset value date in KO88 screen. The only limitation is this possible only if the fiscal year is same.
Give the asset value date as 15.07.2007 in KO88
Hope this will work

Down Payment Posting in Assets Under Construction

Hi
In case of AuC, when we post the down payment, the standard Accounting entry created is:
Vendor Advance A/c Dr
Asset Under Construction (Down Payment) Dr
     To Bank A/c
     To Asset Clearing A/c
When we Post the invoice , the A/c entry passed is
Asset under Construction A/c Dr
      To vendor A/c Cr
When we clear the down payment against the invoice
Vendor A/c Dr
Asset Clearing A/c Dr
     To Vendor Advance A/c
     To Asset under Construction (Down Payment)
My issue is:
1. Why the Asset account should be involved for making down payments? At the time of down payments, the accounting entry that should be passed by the system showuld be
Vendor A/c Dr
    To Bank A/c
2. What happens in the case of year end activities? Why does system create two entries for current assets?

Pls Reply frinds.

vinod

Hi Vinod,
I hope that you are following Valuated goods receipt concept.
Valuated goods receipt: Asset will be debited at the time of goods receipt
Non valuated good receipt: Asset will be debited at the time of invoice receipt
If you follow valuated goods receipt concept, then at the time of making down payment, AUC should not be debited (whatever the value date/ capitalization date be). Please refer SAP note number 310368 (valuated goods receipt paragraph) for reference. In that they have clearly mentioned the steps to make down payment against asset under construction Purchase Order without debiting to AUC and without any error message. You have to make F5 378 message number from error message to warning message and in posting key 29 and 39, you have to supress the asset related fields. If you have done the above settings, then system will not show any error message to update G/L account in AO90 transaction code for the Acquisition: down payments and Down payment clearing - 2nd and 4th field or for AUC related fields.
Hope this helps. Assign points if useful.

Dwarak.

Asset under construction

Hi Guru,
I want to know about how the internal order is the linked to asset under construction?

Hi
First, your internal order should have a investment profile attached to it. This determines the AuC asset class.
Next, when you release your internal order, SAP asks to create a AuC in the sub-sequent screen. Meaning, release status requires AuC.
Hope this helps. Otherwise, let me know your question.

Asset under Construction for Investment Measures

Hi all
This is my client requirement

configration
pls send configration

Hi
These are the steps to be followed:
1. Create a asset class for CWIP (Auc) - OAOA: In this select Investment Measure under Status of AuC.
2. Define Investment Profile (OITA) - Give AuC Asset class as invest measure asset class.
3. Create Internal Order Type for Investments: Normally standard 0650 order type will take care of the requirement. We need not to create anything.
4. Create Asset (AS01) under normal asset class i.e., buildings or vehicles etc... (You cannot create under AuC Asset Class)
5. Create Internal Order (KO01): Give Object class as investment and under Investments tab give investment profile created in step 2.
Go to settlement profile tab and give category as FXA and settlement receiver the asset no. and give 100%.
6. Change asset master to incorporate the internal order number under Origin Tab. Give no. in Investment order field.
7. Release the Internal Order (KO02)
8. Post the transactions through different T.Codes by referring Internal Order as account assignment.
9. Go to Internal Order through KO02 and complete TECO under control data.
10. Go to T.Code KO88 (internal order settlement) and settle the order.
Hope this will help you.

In case 2 and 3 do you want to use budget management?
In combination with PO's
Make first a blueprint based on the business requirements.

Migrating Assets Under Construction?

Hi all,
A customer has many fixed assets that are currently under construction during a Go Live implementation. I realize ByD uses projects as a bit of a work around for handling assets under construction in the system, but what is the best way to handle the data-migration of these assets under construction in ByD? (along with the expenses/etc associated with these assets under construction)?
thanks a lot,
-Ben

Hi Gopal,
My understanding is that project balances cannot be migrated in ByD. We have been advised to manually key in all existing projects with budgets, sales orders etc. We are not sure what to do with existing project costs and invoices as historical data cannot be migrated either.
Since you suggested migrating the 'Assets under construction' as projects, I wonder if that is a special category? I was planning on using 'Direct Cost Project' process variant as suggested in the ByD help centre for 'Assets Under Construction'
Any further information is appreciated. Thanks
