Incorrect posting in asset accounting after legacy asset transfer

I have an issue in Asset accounting.
The depreciation key used is LINA (with a base method 0009 and Dec. bal. method 001 straight line depreciation)
My question is:
An asset was acquired 02/01/2005. It has an expected useful life of 1/11.
Under AS93.
I see the asset ***. acquisition value 205,695.00
Accu.ord. deprec - 78,784.06
The asset was transferred to SAP at 03/31/2007.
Now In aw01n I see the following:
Legacy data transfer Per 3 Ord. deprec 10,143.87
Posted Per 4 13,364.13
Posted 5 5877.00
Posted 6. 5877
Till 8th month posted 5877.
The posted values are wrong. Since it was transferred to SAP it has a useful life
of 1 year. At this rate it will go for 3 years.
What can I do to rectify this error?
Why is it posting 5877?
Thanks,

Hi Roma,
The useful life has to be the Total Useful life of the asset.
Since your useful life is less than the expired usefull life the system is calculating depr. for after the end of useful life, which for base method 0009 is curbing.
<i>Curb
With depreciation beyond the planned useful life, the depreciation percentage rate can be derived, not only from the planned useful life, but also from the actual useful life. This method produces a declining-balance effect instead of a straight-line effect (curb).
Use Base Method 0007, this does not curb.
Kind regards
An asset that originally had a useful life of 10 years is depreciated in year 11 by 1/11 = 9.09 %, in year 12 by 8.33 % and in year n with 100/n %.
When you use below-zero depreciation with a curb, the system determines the percentage rate, after the end of planned life, to the exact period and not to the year.</i>

Assets Accounting - Structure of Assets Class & Individual Assets

Dear Sir / Madam,
I need to configure FI-AA
In the organization there are 2 plants,
In each plant there is Land, Factory Building & Machinery,
Over and above these assets there are some common assets like Vehicles, Laboratory equipment etc.
Please guide me as to how do I design structure of these assets so that I get
1. Plant wise Assets History Report
2. Individual assets wise Assets History Report (Like Total Machinery, Including both the plants & Common assets.)
Thanks in anticipation
Regards
Chirag Shah

Hi Chirag,
We define the field status for the asset master in the screen layout. The pathe for the same is -
SPRO>>Financial Accounting (New)>>Asset Accounting>>Master Data>>Screen Layout>>Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data.
Here check the staus maintained for plant in the logical field group 3 (Time-dependent data). Make it Required or optional and then check if the field is available in AS02.
Please revert for any clarification.
Thanks and Regards,

Error AA662 in Asset accounting after upgrade to ECC 6

Hi,
After upgrade to ECC6 from R3 Enterprise, when we try to browse an asset, using transaction code AW01N, and go to posted values/Comparisons tab we get the following error:
SYST: You cannot change the depreciation periods
     Message no. AA662
Asset affected: 000000003983-0000
Diagnosis
    Processing terminated because the number of depreciation periods in company code 1100 has been changed. However, you cannot change the number of
    periods in your live (productive) system.
Procedure
    Change the depreciation periods back to the original value in company code 1100. The number of depreciation periods is determined by the fiscal year version and the use of half-periods. At least one of these parameters was changed.
     If you want to change your system so that you can now work with half-periods, you have to use depreciation keys with time-dependent period control in that company code.
    If you need to make general changes to the number of periods for calculating depreciation per fiscal year, you will have to consult your system administrator.
We were not getting this error in R3 enterprise. We have tried implementing sap note 1009699 but it does not resolve the issue. What we observed is, AA662 occurs if you change the number of period in the fiscal year version or the use of half-periods, after you have already posted to assets. The most common cause is a different value in field ANLB-PERFY which is the number of periods in the fiscal year. If the number entered here does not correspond to the number of posting periods of the fiscal year used, the system raises error AA662 (except for none posted areas for which ANLB-PERFY = 000 or areas with depreciation to the date for which ANLB-PERFY = 365). For us there are many assets with ANLB-PERFY=24.
Is there a way to fix this problem by some config change or data fix. If any of you have come across a similar issue or have any insights on the same, please respond back.
Regards,
Milan

Hi All,
I could not find any solution to fix this in new depreciation calculation method. I also did not get any help from SAP or SDN. So, we decided to switch back to the old calculation method.
There are 3 ways of implementing the old calculation.
1. SAP Note 984161 : Code change at ABAP level.
2. User Level : By setting the user parameter FAA_DC_SWITCH to OLD
3. By default Config : If we make an entry in V_TABWD_VID in SM30 and create a new entry with Acct. Transaction ID to 'AMBUAFAR000000000000', It should use old calculation method.
Thanks,
Milan

Asset Creation with intermediary Asset Holding Account

Hello Gurus,
We are on ECC6.0 and SRM 7.0 , business requirement is to procure the asset from the P2P cycle and have an Asset Holding account as an intermediary account. And at Month End post the balance from the intermediary account to the main asset account after review.
Business has clear requirement to have the all posting first going from the P2P cycle to a Asset Holding account( intermediary account) and at month end review the same and than create the asset and than transfer the posting from Asset holding account to the Main asset Account.
Can you please provide inputs how do we address the same.
Thanks & Regards
Rutvij

Hi
I understand about the AUC after checking various threads on SDN.
But i am wondering is my requirement addressed
'Business has clear requirement to have the all posting first going from the P2P cycle to a Asset Holding account( intermediary account) and at month end review the same and than create the asset and than transfer the posting from Asset holding account to the Main asset Account"
So if we go with AUC , we need to create a asset number before the procurement process starts.
At the completion of the AUC once the asset is settled, for the new asset procurement business will have to create a new AUC asset number.
Hope I am able to help you in understanding the requirement.
Any inputs in this regard are helpful
Thanks & Regards
Rutvij

Company Code (Fusion) Asset Accounting Legacy Migration

Hi SAP Experts
We are going to initiate a project where a company code Y will be fusionated to a company code X
Therefore only company code X will prevail at the end on the month.
This migration is made within the fiscal year (april 2015) with a calenda K4 (january to december)
Some balance migration is planned, however we have the following scenario:
Company code X has asset accounting component working since 2006
Company code Y does not have asset accounting component within SAP, posting are made directly to SAP (and depretiation calculation posting are made outside SAP)
We are planning to "transfer the values" from company code Y -> to the asset acccounting component from company code X
Due theese assets are not "new assets" but "legacy asset" how it should be the right steps?
We have identified two options so far:
a) As a "legacy transfer", (AS91) transaction (create legacy data)
Some SAP documentation refers to take care about the timing to made this; in our case is within the fiscal year
Also a "data transfer date" or "take over date" must be defined on table V_T093C_08 in order to identify a value date for the legacy transfer
IMG > Asset Accounting > Asset Data Transfer > Parameteres for Data Transfer > Date Specification
There are several prerequisites such as company code status allowed for data transfer, set the above date for data transfer and I think also set a period where the legacy company code finish their posting.
We suspect this is the second or third time the company code X has transfer legacy data.
Do you have experience managing this option within SAP?
What issues must be considered
We do not want to impact the existing fixed assets values and previous asset transfers values with our new asset transfer within the fiscal year.
b) As a "acquisition without a vendor" ABZON
I think this option does not required so much customizing, usign this option I think I should put the last value for the legacy asset accounting and set the initiation date for the new depretiation posting accordingly.
I suspect the disadvantage here is do not have a historical data, however may these is the secure path.
I notice using ABZON transaction I need to set an account determination call "Contra account: Acquisition value" that is defined on table V_T095_MASTER or customizing transaction AO90
For this option we are guessing which type account must be.
I think it should be a balance account (due no vendor is implied) however we are not sure about this point
Many thanks for your inputs and ideas
Fernando Luna

Hi Fernando Luna
For my perception, option 1 makes sense because you may need to check historical values as well as depreciation posted in legacy system. As you highlighted, the key point to use AS91 to take over legacy assets are below customizing:
IMG: Asset Accounting -> Asset Data Transfer -> Parameters for Data Transfer -> Date Specifications ->
=> Specify Transfer Date/Last Closed Fiscal Year
=> Specify Last Period Posted in Prv.System (Transf.During FY)
Above setting affecting legacy take-over only, it wouldn't affect existing asset including previous taken-over legacy assets. After finishing legacy asset migration, you may need to execute depreciation recalculation at company code level.
Hope this information is helpful.

Creation of Legacy Asset in AS91 - Not updating the recon account

Hi,
I have an issue while creating a legacy asset using AS91. I found that it is not updating the asset reconciliation account in the G/L. What could be the issue?
Thanks,
Ram

Hi
For uploading the Asset GL's you need to using a dummy/control account for uploading the asset data. USaullay data migration account is used for this purpose. OSAV is generally used for uploading assets in GL only.
Frist go to OAMK and remove recociliation account type assets (this is for allowing direct posting in Asset reconciliation account).. then go for OSAV and after completing the posting then again go to OAMK and again put the reconciliation account type assets. If you for got this step ...later on the Asset GL's will not be updated.

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.<b> It is usually not necessary to create a separate fiscal year variant for Asset Accounting.</b>
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 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.

Kiran

Posting in Asset Accounting in closed fiscal year

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.

Profit center is posted to asset account??

Hello experts,
I wonder it is correct that profit center is posted to asset account.
Now our B1 2005B does that.
For example,
In AR credit memo (or Sales return) , we input profit center XX into the documents.
Then B1 create Journal Entry as below;
Dr
Sales Revenue 100 , profit center XX
Inventory 50, profit center XX
Cr
AR 100,
Cost of Goods Sold 50, profit center XX
Inventory account is asset account, so I'd like to know this is correct and SAP's spec ? or SAP's bug?
Please give your advise,
Kaori

Hi Kaori,
The functionality is slightly different in the B version so I can tell you how it working in the A version and maybe you can verify this.
The Profit Center should only be allocated to accounts that has been defined as Account type 'Sales' or 'Expenditure'. If the Inventory account is given this definition it will allocate the profit center to the inventory as well.
Normally by default P&L account are set as 'Sales' or 'Expenditure' and Balance Sheet accounts set as Account type 'Other'.
Hope it helps.

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.
