Import fixed asset master data

When I try to import fixed asset master data from an excel file to the Sap Business, a problem that I cannot identify occurs, and as a result, data is not imported. The process runs normally, data is processed but at the end an informational message says that zero data was imported. I would like to have help on this to solve this issue.

You have a date in your data sheet that is formatted 1/1/2007, this needs to be formatted as 2007-01-01, I think it is the depreciation start date?

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 on Previous Year

Hi experts,
I would like to know, is it possible to upload fixed asset on previous year as fiscal year. For example I want to upload asset per June 2010 as beginning period, I tried several ways to upload but I couldn't find the right one.
I tried to upload fixed asset data with depreciation start / capitalization date before Jan 2010 and succeed
eg.
Asset: Printer
Acquisition date: 01 Feb 2009
Depreciation start date: 01 Feb 2009
APC value: 22000000
Useful Life: 36
Remaining Life: 25
Ordinary Depr: 8066667
But it didn't work out with the depreciation start / capitalization date on Jan - Jun 2010
eg.
Asset: Printer
Acquisition date: 01 March 2010
Depreciation start date: 01 March 2010
APC value: 2100000
Useful Life: 36
Remaining Life: 36
Ordinary Depr: 0
Any help will be most appreciated. Thanks

Yes, I did. It said "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." This case is different, the company wants to upload asset as per June 2010 as its beginning balance =) Thx for your reply Julie

Import fixed asset data, error occur.

Dear all,
I imported fixed asset master data as following:
FA21600111;602;Dell电脑;OPTIPLEX 380DT ;2010-03-26;;;;G300662098;非生产设备;104;;3179;1;3179;100;2010-04-01;60;60;LINP;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
SB1 prompted system message: Import end; Number of successfully imported:0; Number of processed assets:1
and I open the log file, it says:
2010-05-06 12:12:43.420 0 BA ER CBAMasterDataTransfer::CBAMasterDataTransfer Life Parameter: FA21600111;602;Dell电脑;OPTIPLEX 380DT ;2010-03-26;;;;G300662098;非生产设备;104;;3179;1;3179;100;2010-04-01;60;60;LINP;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
what's that means?
and I found that if the asset's Capitalization Date is current year, It can't be imported and show the message in the log file, why?

Import fixed Asset

Dear All,8
I cannot import fixed asset to SAP Business One ( Hanna) PL8, the following message appear
The Remaining life of fixed asset for depreciation area GAAP is incorrect
how i can solve this issue ?
Regards,
Abdualla Fatayer

the formalla is :
remaining useful life = ( date of fixed asset that will be imported to SAP - starting depreciation date)\30 day.
and the result from this equation is subtracted from useful life of fixed asset.
note:
starting depreciation date =Dec 31 from the year that customer acqustion fixed asset.
example:
the capitalization date of an asset is 5/2/2012
I will consider starting depreciation date will be 31/12/2012
I will import the fixed asset on 1/1/2014
asset useful life is 80 Month.
then i will use the equation above to calculate remaining useful life
regards

Good day!
We are now importing the Fixed Assets into SAP Business One 9.0 PL 11 using the data import utility. I already made necessary setup. But when I import, a message prompts and tells "cannot import asset _____; a new asset's useful life and remaining life must be the same in the depreciation area". I ensure that the usefule life is match in the useful life of each asset group. Attached is the template I used and the format of column.
Thank you and Regards,

Import fixed assets in middle of fiscal year 2013

Hi,
I like to import several fixed assets in middle of fiscal year 2013. The attached file works fine but when I then look at the depreciation months, I see the depreciation for the complete year of 2013. But when I set the start depreciation date in the import file set to 2013-11-01 the import is not working anymore because of wrong calculation of lifetime.
How can I import this fixed asset with start depr date set to 2013-11-01 and only the last 2 months (Nov and Dec) need an depreciation for 2013??
And not also the previous months !!!
Thanks again.
Mark

Hi Mark,
Import FA with depreciation start date as 2014/01/01 and run the depreciation for the said two months by doing an journal entry. Depreciation is calculated for a whole year.

How can we import Fixed asset of the current year ?

Hi ,
in 1272578 note , SAP Support explain that's it's not possible to create fixed asset of the current year( example = acquisition date = 2009-02-01 ) using import , but they gave no workaround .
does it mean that we have to manually create all assets of the current year ? or there is another way ( using DI-API for example ) ?
Thanks

Good day
The fixed asset master data import functionality in SAP Business One is used to import assets of the previous year. If you are to force the importation of current year assets some of them might load but system will not be able to calculate planned depreciation for that year, which will give u problems when u try to run depreciation forcing u to post manual depreciation.
With manual depreciation will not look good on the Fixed Asset Master since it sort of duplicate depreciation ONLY on the Master your report will be fine.
Capturing Current year assets manually will be the safer road.
Thanks

Importing the (active) Fix Asset with ◦Accumulated ordinary depreciation to Sap Business One 9

Hi all,
I'm trying to upload the Active Fix Asset to the SBO (no new).
for example:
item:                          FixAsset
Useful life :                48 (month)
Remaining Life:        12 (month)
APC(Historical cost): 10000
Accumulated Ordinary Depr.: 7500
So Value Balance: 1500
and Life Balance :     12 month
I have tried to Import active ITEM by Excel ,follow this link : Importing Fixed Asset Master Data from Microsoft Excel - SAP Business One 9.0 - SAP Library
every time recieve the message :
Cannot import asset "fixasset"; a new asset's useful life and remaining life must be the same in depreciation area "AFA"

Hi,
Please check SAP note:
2001876 - The system does not consider the Salvage Value nor the
Remaining Book Value when you import assets

Fixed Asset Importation Issue (Capitalisation Date)

Hello experts,
I have an issue regarding fixed asset importation.
I've import the fixed asset master data correctly in the system, with it's correct capitalisation date, APC, depreciation cumulative value and everything else correctly in the master data. Under Administration --> Data Import/Export --> Data Import --> Import Fixed Asset Master Data from Microsoft Excel.
However, where the issue is, it's now on the fixed asset history sheet, where the capitalisation date, is defined as the first date of the fiscal year "01/01/2014". Where by none of these assets were purchased on that date. But everything else on the report is correct except the capitalisation date.
Due to this issue, it is hard to explain how an asset was purchased on 01/01/2014, which have a use full life of 4 years, has depreciate completely in 2015. But if I check in its master data, I find out the capitalisation date is like in 6 years ego.
Note: I'm using SAP Business One 9.0 PL11
Any suggestion, comment or help is highly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Cedric Kayitare

Hi Cedric,
Capitalization date won't change it self after import. Check your import sheet which capitalization date you have enter. you need to execute fiscal year change and then import sheet.
If you have capitalization date for different years then you should have all period created and then year transfer.
In that case you will have to run depreciation from SAP for all corresponding year.
Post your sheet with heading for more understanding.
Regards,
Chintan

SAP fixed asset add-on. Not able to import master data using upload pgm.

Hi all,
I am trying to import fixed asset master data using an excel file into sap B1 2007a patch level 42. I am able to run the import transaction. It tries to process and then giving me a message ' Import end: Number of successfully imported assets: 0. Number of processed assets:2. We have looked at the event log file and couldn't find anything related to the upload. I have gone through other posts and didn't face this issue. Any hellp is apreciated.
Path which I am using to upload the fixed asset master master data: Administration --> Setup --> fixed asset --> import fixed asset master data.
Following points (see below) also taken into account while creating the master data sheet.
also replaced the ',' in the csv file to ';' before uploading and changed the fixed asset mode to 'transfer' in the administration --> system initialization > company detaills> basis initialization.
Thanks

Mandatory:     Item Code = Asset Class; this Asset Class must be previous defined in the Asset Settings (don't change/delete anything in the item-master data - there are the Asset Classes Z-00u2026. Are stored
     Description = Description of this Asset
     Capitalization Date = do it like this (YYYY-MM-DD). This columne must be a text format
     APC = Aquisition/Procuction Cost; when you have digits after coma please use dot for separation - don't use thousand separators; Example 23444.45
     Quantity = only mandatory, when you use the same assets stored under one asset number. Example you have ten equal chairs, so you can handle this with one asset number and quantity ten
     Dep01 = Depreciation area; this entry must be previous defined in the Asset Settings
     Depr Start date 01 = do it like this (YYYY-MM-DD). This columne must be a text format. The beginning must be the first of the month. Please compare it in this case with the capitalization date
     Useful Life 01 = calculated in months (not years)
     Remaining Life 01 = calculated in months (not years)
     Depr Type 01 = Depreciation Type must be previous defined in the Asset settings
     Ordinary Depr 01 = ordinary depreciation; this is the comulated value you can see in the asset history sheet from the old asset solution. When you have digits after coma please use dot for separation - don't use thousand separators; Example 23444.45
     Unplanned Depr 01 = unplanned/extraordinary depreciation; this is the comulated value you can see in the asset history sheet from the old asset solution. When you have digits after coma please use dot for separation - don't use thousand separators; Example 23444.45
     SpDpAcc1 01 = Special depreciation account; when you use special depreciations and you have it to balance on special accounts fill in this account. This is an exeption - in normal projects not needed
     SpDpKey2 01 = Special depreciation; when you use special depreciation you have to enter this cumulative value in this field. This is an exeption in normal projects not needed
     SpDpAccu2026 = for further special depreciation accounts; This is an exeption
     SpDpKey.. = for furhter special depreciation values; This is an exeption
Optional:     Vendor Code = when using this please be aware that the vendor code is previous defined in the system
     all others = you can use if you want. The only limitation is the type/length of these fields
     When you are ready with your entries mark from the first free row on for instance the next 20 rows than right mouse key - delete rows. This is necessary to prevent that in the background are invisible signs
     After entering in this default excel all your assets, please save it as .csv file. (the grey message - relation to information of csv - please say yes; when you close than excel a furhter message - would you save.. - please say no now
     After entering all data please save it as .CSV file. First grey window (format information) please choose 'yes'. Second window (when you close this file) please choose 'no'.
     You have now a .csv file in hands right now for uploading into the fixed assets.
     This example you can use for a test-import based on the year 2004

The issue was because of the conflict of Depr. Start Date, Use Life and Remaining Life. After I corrected the data, it worked just fine. The note 876670 helped me to resolve this issue. Thanks to Adam at Toronto SAP Business one support for his expert analysis and suggestions.
thanks
