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.

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

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?

Import fixed asset data, error occur.

Dear all,

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

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

Import Fixed asset Master Data From Microsoft Excel

Hi
I'm trying to import fixed master data throught .txt file but it shows me the folowing error "The depreciation start date of asset "A2" for depreciation area "COLGAP" cannot be in the import fiscal year"
Where A2 is Fixed Asset Code and COLGAP is "Depreciation Area"
I attach some images with fixed assets setups and data template
Do you have any idea what is the error?
Thank you so much

Hi Deepak
Thanks for your answer. I checked your document and I followed it step by step, but I have another issue when I tried to import. It says "Cannot import "A2"; its active depreciation areas must be the same as those defined in the corresponding asset class"
I attach again the images. Can you tell me what is my problem?
Thank you

Asset Register with different Fiscal Year Variant

Ministry Of Commerce requires Power Line Carrier Companies to maintain
an additional fixed asset register. This register needs to have
Fiscal Year - April to March
Revaluation of Assets on 1 April every year based on indice provided
Ministry.
Depericiation Rates same as existing
Staright line depreciation
No depreciation / revaluation of new assets aqired during the year
No depreciation on disposal of assets during the year
This can work OK for Companies with same Fiscal Year Variant (April to
March).
What are the options for Companies with different Fiscal Year?
Some of the companies do not have the new GL activated and hence cannot
use the additional ledger and use for this purpose.
Can you please advise.
Regards,
Suneel Bhonsule

If the company codes are using fiscal year variant April - March, then it is possible. If the company codes are using differant fiscal year variant other than April - March and if you want to get the report with the Fiscal year April-March,, it will not work out..
Even If new GL Activated for all company codes also its not possible.. i had a experience of this and finally came to know that parellel ledger or special ledger concept will not support for Diefferant fiscal year for Asset accounting alone which is differant from Company code fiscal year..
Thanks

Posting in Asset Accounting in closed fiscal year

Hi
We are in the fiscal year 2009 and my client wants to open the closed fiscal year 2008 in both Asset accounting and Finance.
Point 1 : The requirement is they want to post some correction entries in April 2008 -Let me know what needs to be done in terms of depreciation posting etc to do a 2008 yearend again.
Point 2 : Any specific steps to do a full year end in 2008 now to balance Asset Accounting and Financial .And to carry forward balances as to where we are now in period 10.
Please advice.

Hi,
if you open 2008 and post, you have to process the full fiscal year end close procedure. AFAB, ASKB, the whole story.
You don´t have to worry about the carry forward, this will be done automatically by the system.
Regards,
Markus

Reversal of asset document in different fiscal year

Hi Friends,
An asset was acquired in period 12, 2008 through t-code ABZO. No depreciation was charged in 2008 because the dep start date was 01.01.2009 in the asset master. Then depreciation was charged and posted for the asset in period 1 and 2 in 2009. Now we want to reverse the asset acquisition posting which was posted in 2008. While making the reversal through AB08, the error message is - Reversal not allowed in different fiscal year.
(1) Is there any way that the reversal can be done without opening FY 2008?
(2) What would be the impact on the dep which is posted in per 1 and 2 of 2009?
Thanks in advance for your much needed help !!!!

Hi,
Before doing this I would like to Understand the following:-
1. Where you have credited when you have debited the Asset ?
2. Reversal May be possible if you do the following;-
1. You will have to change the depreciation key as "000"
2. Repeat run for AFAB.
3. Reverse the Same Asset by ABZO by different Transaction type.
4. Otherwise Scrap the Asset.
