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

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 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;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

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

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

Error when importing Fixed Assets

Dear All,
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,

Assets from previous year not showing up in AFAB

Hi,
Im trying to process depreciation in AFAB but assets that I have (depreciated in 2010) are not showing up for this new fiscal year. It says I only have 1 asset to depreciate.
What could be the problem?
Thanks,

We depreciate monthly. If we look at table ANLA, it shows all of our assets created last year exist. Its just that when I run the asset balance report (s_alr_87011994) or AFAB for 2011, none of these assets show up. When running for 2010, these assets appear again.
What is the reason they are not appearing?

Correcting useful life of an asset in previous year

Hi, We have implemented SAP last year in April at one of our sites. At the time of initial upload of assets, we made a mistake and some of the assets were uploaded with incorrect useful life. Till date every month we were running depreciation based on incorrect useful life. F.Year was closed in Dec 2005. Now auditors have detected this mistake. How do we fix this? Any suggestions...

hi sourabh
u can reset the closed fiscal year through "Asset acountingperiod end closingreverse" using this function u can reopen the fiscal yera either for selected depriciation areas or for all dep.Be careful you should reopen a fiscal year only for certain depreciation areaas, and do adjustment postings in those only. u cannot use standard transaction types post to all depriciation areas. u have to define ur own transaction types.
Change the field in asset master in last closed fiscal year. And start the depriciation program run in repeat run mode
