How to post xpenses in asset accounting

hi,
how do i post freight expenses to an asset account and at the same time credit the vendor who has provided the freight. can i do it in abzon ?
what i think is
 Asset A/c
 to expenses a/c in abzon (giving expense a/c as offsetting a/c)
 Expense A/c
 to vendor A/c in fb60
tell me if it is correct, or there is any other procedure and correct me if accounting entries are wrong

Hi,
As per generally accepted accounting procedures, any expenses incidental to bringing the asset to use need to be capitalised, which means that they need to be added to the value of Asset Account.
The accounting entry can be
Dr Asset
Cr Clearing A/c
On invoice
Dr Clearing A/c
Cr Vendor
On payment of freight to vendor
Dr Vendor
Cr Bank
Please check the relevance to the issue in context. you can post to the asset with an appropriate acquisition transaction type.

Where we have to open and close posting periods in asset accounting

hi sap gurus
can anybody give where we have to open and close posting periods in asset accounting
thank you
venkatareddy

Hi Venkatareddy,
You make specifications for fiscal years and posting periods in the SAP R/3 System in Customizing for Financial Accounting. This is done in the fiscal year variant in the global parameters of the company code. These settings are, in general, also binding for Asset Accounting. The depreciation periods in Asset Accounting then correspond to the posting periods in Financial Accounting. It is usually not necessary to create a separate fiscal year variant for Asset Accounting.
The period control in the depreciation key determines the start and end of depreciation when asset transactions are posted . The period control determines the relationship between the calendar period in which the asset transaction is posted and the depreciation period.
These calendar periods are independent of the posting periods in Financial Accounting. The only restriction is that the beginning of the first calendar period and the end of the last calendar period defined in a period control have to match the start date and final date of the fiscal year in Financial Accounting.
Kindly let me know if this useful for you

How to post externally to asset reconciliation account

Hi,
I need to post one entry externally to asset reconciliation account & I dont want to update asset due to that entry. How to do that?
Pl. help. I will award points for suitable answer.
Thanks
Veena

You are permitted to post the recon account undercertain special circumstances :
USe the transaction codes OAMK and OASV.
Kindly read the SAP on line documentation before making a postings directly to the recon account.
Definition of the Reconciliation Accounts
You are not allowed to manually post to the reconciliation accounts for Asset Accounting in Financial Accounting. Normally, you designate the corresponding General Ledger accounts in Financial Accounting as reconciliation accounts. This change, however, can no longer be made in Financial Accounting, once these accounts already have balances from the legacy data transfer. However, you can use a special report to assign these accounts the status of reconciliation accounts in Financial Accounting (in Customizing for Asset Accounting, choose Preparing for Production Startup ® Production Startup ® Set Reconciliation Accounts).
There is another report for removing this specification (Reset Reconciliation Accounts).
Subsequent Correction Postings to Reconciliation Accounts
Suppose you have already defined the asset G/L accounts in Financial Accounting as reconciliation accounts, but still need to transfer balances to these accounts, or make corrections. You can make correction postings to these reconciliation accounts with a special posting transaction in Customizing for Asset Accounting (Transfer Balances), using posting key 40 or 50. You can only postings to those accounts in a company code with implementation status (Customizing for Asset Accounting, choose Preparing for Production Startup ® Production Startup ® Activate Company Code).

Asset PO Price Variance posting w/out asset account assignmt to wrong acct

We're bringing up fixed assets and are struggling with the account assignment behind PO Invoice receipt (MIRO) and price differences. At the moment, the PO is A account assigned and has the standard SAP settings except that the GR is valuated and the account assignment indicator is single instead of multiple. When we process MIRO, if there's a price difference, it hits the table 30 account assignment for the DIF trxn key.
We have 2 issues.
1. The account behind DIF is used for normal merchandise purchasing which isn't account assigned and doesn't reflect the GL account for the asset class.
2. The asset number is not being passed to the price variance posting (this could be a result of the GL account config since our normal merchandise purchasing doesn't carry a WBS).
We have an additional wrinkle in that we do a shadow posting to a WBS element as well as the asset number in MIRO. It seems to work fine so long as we don't have a price variance.
From reading documentation, it appears the price variance should be posting to the asset so we appear to have mis-configured something. I'm hoping it's not the valuated GR as we have a business requirement to show the value of the item when we receive it. In any case, we can't figure out what we're missing. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
thanks for your time and help.

Tahnks in advance!!!

Hi, Qunli
If you haven't the documentation of the BAPI, you can search in here http://ifr.sap.com/catalog/query.asp
You can find the BAPI in SAP FI(470 or above). Under the 'Accounting Interface' hierarchy, you can find a 'AcctngBilling' BO, and the Post method of it is the BAPI you're calling. (you can search to demonstrate in Tcode BAPI). There is some explain for the interface, if it is not enough, I have some sample application which call this BAPI.
Hope it will be helpful.
Thanks a lot

How to post calendars to Family account

Hope this isn't too stupid a question, but we have 3 or 4 people at work who did have individual iCal accounts they'd published successfully. The company recently insituted a family account for them, as it was less costly and, it was assumed, more useful.
However, nobody now knows how to post /publish their individual iCal calendars to the new family account and I'm having trouble finding answers on Apple's web site.
Can anybody help me out here? How can the individuals post their calendars now that we have this Family Account?
MJM

Sorry that I'm not very helpful... Are your employee computers setup with the family account? It should be as simple as publishing the calendar and having everyone subscribe to each calendar.
You may want to write Apple to see if you can have this clarified because it is not in their FAQ section.. there is a form that you can fill out at http://www.apple.com/support/dotmac/ical/
It would certainly be strange if you were unable to publish calendars from the family account....
Perhaps your family account has not yet taken affect...

How to post statistical conditions to accounting ?

Hi SD Gurus
Our client requirement is that the net value is posted to two GL accounts i.e., 10% of net value is to be posted to one GL account and 90% of net value is to be posted to one GL account.
In my pricing procedure net value is determined in 700 STEP so i defined two condition types in 800 and 820 types and had taken the value as 700 step as reference and in the pricing procedure the two condition types r working well but the net value showing double i.e., it was adding the value in 800 step and 820 step with 700 step value. in order to rectify that what configuration steps I have to do.I need the solution very urgent.
When i make the condition types in 800 and 820 steps as statistical, i am unable to post to accounts.
Please suggest.
Cheers,
"CLN"

Dear Chakravarthy
In your Pricing Procedure, insert a field between Steps 700 and 800 and define it as "Sub Total". Against this new step, enter "700" in both "From" and "To" field and try.
Meanwhile, if you want any condition value to be posted to accounting, you have to untick the respective condition types. Then only, it will flow to accounts.
Thanks

How to write-ups in Asset accounting?

Let me give a senario first:
asset APC : 10000 $
capitalized and APC date: 2000/01/01 (YYYY/MM/DD)
old depreciation method: straight-line, 10% rate, useful life is 10 years.
Now suppose the time is 2002/01/01, company changes the asset useful life to 5 years, in the aim of completely depreciate the asset 3 years later, the problem is the net value of that asset is 8000 $ by the old depreciation method.
new depreciation method: straight-line, 20% rate, useful life is 5 years.
To make the new method possible, the net value of that asset should be 6000 $ now, which means I need to manually post the 2000 $( 8000-6000) as write-ups. I define a new depreciation area and a new transaction type( write-up for new method) in the system, but when I execute T-code ABZU, two messages pop up, one is that " you can not post write-ups " , another is " Contact your administrator (table error) ", detail information below:
1.You cannot post write-ups
Message no. AA402
Diagnosis
None of the areas to be posted in accordance with the transaction type entered manages one of the depreciation types entered or cumulative values.
Procedure
Check the transaction type.

2
Contact your system administrator (table error)
Message no. AA380
Diagnosis
Inconsistency between the specifications for transaction type 700 and for the depreciation areas in chart of depreciation SHDE.
Depreciation area 32 is defined (in Customizing), so that it is required to take over values from area 01. However, one of these ares cannot be posted to, due to the specifications in transaction type 700. This combination is not allowed.
Procedure
In Asset Customizing, maintain the specifications in transaction type 700 for the depreciation areas that can be posted using this transaction.
I want to know whether using write-ups to deal with this business senario is right or not ? And if it's the right way , how to solve the aforementioned problems and make it happen?
Thanks in advance and points will be awarded to those who give the leads.

Hi,
I am having the same error which you have posted, please let me know if you have any sujections.
I have this error when i try to post write-up in ABZU
You cannot post write-ups
Message no. AA402
Diagnosis
None of the areas to be posted in accordance with the transaction type entered manages one of the depreciation types entered or cumulative values.
Procedure
Check the transaction type.
So please help me in solving this. Thanks in advance

How to post GR to inventory account for sales order stock

hello all,
I made a PO with account assignment category M. But the system is picking consumption G/L account in the PO and posting to the same G/L account in GR. How to make it inventory G/L account?

Hi,
When we are giving account assignment in the PO line item means that we are posting the cost to the expence account.i.e.It is procure to consumption.That is why when we make GR for a account assigned PO line item we are not able to post the stock to inventory.
So in the PO we cannot select a inventory GL account since we are mensioning that the item is accounted for certain account assignment.We can only mension consumption or expence account.

Asset accounting-QUESTIONS

Hi Gurus,
I got some questions for asset accounting request all of you to kindly extend your help
my questions are
    What is Asset History? ( OAOA)
2)     How the data flows from Asset Accounting to Controlling?
3)     When the asset value is zero and the Company is still using the asset then, how the Company generally proceed to calculate depreciation further? (Curb) (SPRO>Financial Accounting>Asset Accounting>Depreciation>Valuation Methods> Depreciation Key>Calculation Methods> Define Base Methods)
4)     In asset accounting, why 0% Tax code is created for not taxable transaction and why it is compulsory to do it before assigning the chart of depreciation to company code?
5)     What configuration is required to bring all the Fields in depreciation area tap of Asset master creation?(AO21) and (AS01)
[If we make any changes in Tcode AO21 and they are not getting reflected in depreciation area (Last Tab) in creation of asset master (AS01). So how to make the configuration to get those changes reflected in dep. area (last tab) in creation of asset]
6)     What are difference between Germany Chart of Dep. and Great Britain Chart of Dep. (UK)?
Be assured about the points

Hello
Charts of depreciation are used in order to manage various legal requirements for the depreciation and valuation of assets. These charts of depreciation are usually country-specific and are defined independently of the other organizational units. A chart of depreciation, for example, can be used for all the company codes in a given country
In the simplest scenario, all of your company codes are in the same country and are subject to the same legal requirements for asset valuation, meaning that you only need one chart of depreciation.
The chart of depreciation consists of the following parts:
In general, you are required to calculate values for assets for different needs, both internal and external (such as book depreciation and cost depreciation). Therefore, the Asset Accounting component enables you to manage values for assets in parallel in up to 99 depreciation areas. The chart of depreciation, therefore, is a directory of depreciation areas organized according to business management requirements. You define the characteristics, and thereby the significance, of the individual depreciation areas in each chart of depreciation. A depreciation area is always assigned to only one chart of depreciation.
You flexibly define the keys for the automatic depreciation of assets in each chart of depreciation. They are based on elements for calculation (calculation methods, period controls, and so on) that are available client-wide.
Use
SAP supplies typical reference charts of depreciation for each country. They have different depreciation areas and depreciation keys depending on that countrys specific requirements. You cannot use these charts of depreciation directly. You must create your own chart of depreciation by copying the reference chart of depreciation. Delete any depreciation areas that are not needed.
You can document the meaning of any chart of depreciation you set up in the system by writing a description for it.

How to delete depreciation areas when a posting is made in asset accounting

Hi All,
We are implementing asset accounting to few of our company codes as a new company code start up project. We have opened depreciation areas for tax for one company code and found that we are not going to use this company code for asset accounting.
We have already opened 2 depreciation areas one for tax and the other as difference between book and tax depr in our development client. One of our member has created an asset and posted values to it. Now, we were told that we dont need to open the depreciation areas. When i am trying to delete it system giving error message saying you cannot delete the derived depr as the values have already been posted.
Please advice how i should proceed with the above issue for deleting the depreciation areas. Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi Rose,
For the below mentioned issue do the following:
1) reset all the depreciation data ( t code OAGL)
2) reset all the asset account co code data (t code OABL)
then u can go and delete the depreciation areas.
regards,
Kiran
