Intercompany Assets Transfer

Hi,
Am using Tcode ABT1N for intercompany assets transfer. I was unable to transfer assets from one company code to another company code. I have entered all the details and if i click simulate, i got the error as asset is incomplete in the target company.
If i click on the master data button in the screen adn fill the capitalization date and depreciation area, then it is getting transferred.
The enduser don't know to do this.
Can any one please solve this and let me know how to proceed at the earliest.
Thanks in Advance
Deepthi.

Hi Deepthi,
Only if you press "enter" the coding block where error AAPO184 appears in the pop-up window for Master Data can be passed. Then you can go to the 'Master Data' push button and correct the data. To check the asset you can also use RAUNVA00 or AW01N.
If you user have problems you can make a validation where the user get a information which is more meaningful exactly to this special situation. A generic message does not fit every situation and the system should not be overloaded with messages. Thats the problem.
Generally if you get the message explicit required entries are missing. This concerns master data.   If you have defined required entries in asset master data you must fill this fields.
When you have made no entries in required fields you get this message. This is correct but if you made no entries in required fields and then you   press the bottom "Simulation" the system lost the bottom "master data".   Then you can´t correct the asset master data via the bottom "master data". True, the 'Master Data' push button disappears. But nevertheless, you will not be able to save the transaction, as again the system reminds you of the incomplete asset (required field in asset master data has not been filled yet) by issuing error AAPO184 again!
1) Can you please check your settings - is it correct that the field is required.?
Go to IMG (Transaction SPRO):
-> Financial Accounting
-> Asset Accounting
-> Transactions
   -> Intercompany Asset Transfers
    -> Automatic Intercompany Asset Transfers
     -> Define Transfer Variants
      -> Specify Transfer of Fields
       -> Specify Transfer of Fields (for New Asset in Target CoCd)
        -> Transfer variant 4
         -> Double click on 'Logical field group master data' folder
          -> Select 'Log.fld.gr' 1 (General data)
           -> Double click on 'Field transfer of field groups folder'
Here you might find that a field groups are marked to be copied to the new asset. If you don't want that the field is required, you should change the field transfer rules.
2. If the field is required, you also have to activate in the screen layout the relevant field.
Asset Accounting
-> Master Data
   -> Screen Layout
     -> Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data

ABT1N-Getting Error while doing Intercompany asset transfer

Hi,
Due to a merger of two comapny codes, my clients needed to make an intercompany asset transfer (transaction code ABT1N), with company code 099 as the sending company code and 200 as the receiving company code). However they got the following error message:
AU133
Contra account is not assigned.
Is it necessary to assign conta accounts In AO90 for intercompany asset transfer?
Could anyone suggest me what are the necessary settings required for intercompany asset transfer?

yes maintain contra account in ao90

Getting error while doing Intercompany asset transfer

This is the first time that they are doing an intercompany asset transfer in our client. Intracompany asset transfers were done in the past. While doing an intercompany transfer, an error is popping up as given below.:
Account 'Contra account: Acquisition value' could not be found for area 01
Message no: Au133
Diagnosis
When creating the accounting document the system could not find account 'Contra account: Acquisition value' in depreciation area 01 for Company code( sending company code)
Procedure:
Enteer this account in the account determination for Asset Accounting.
Since, this is the first time an intercompany transfer is happening I assume that there is some configuration or some settign that might have to be done. Please could you help me.

Hi,
first set your COD with OAPL.
Go to transaction AO90 and select your COA and click on account determination, and select the account determination key, which is used for your sending asset and doublie click on blanace sheet accounts.
There one field will be there called Contra account: Acquisition value, so enter a B/S GL account there and SAVE it.
Since this account is required to enter at both COD level, like sending assets COD and receiving assets COD. But if you have your both assets in same COD, no need to maintain twice.
The purpose of this GL account is used while transfering one asset from one company code to another to capture the NBV as clearing entry between inter company code trasnfers. (This is as good as OBYA settings in FI). But this GL account here is not specific for one particular company code as like in FI.
This will solve your problem.
Cheers,
Srinu

ABT1N Intercompany Asset Transfer error: AA390   T type 230 not possible

Dear experts,
I am trying to post an intercompany asset transfer with trx code ABT1N but when simulating the error code
Transaction type 230 not possible (posting to affiliated company) appears. This is the explanation of the error:
Message no. AA390
Diagnosis
     For the current document, you specified either implicitly (via the
     customer/vendor), or explicitly (with a manual entry), that this posting
     is to an affiliated company. In this case, Asset Accounting requires you
     to use special transaction types. This enables the system to separately
     identify such transactions.
I do not understand the error because TType is "Retirement to affiliated company with revenue" so should be correct.
Does anybody know what could be wrong?
Cheers

Hi
Firstly, check out Note 209643.
Secondly, please read the long text of the error message again. The
transaction type must be set as "post to affiliated company". And
you must check back the followings :-
1. Please execcute function: SAP IMG -> FI -> asset accounting ->
    transaction -> specify default transaction type.
    You can find the default transaction type for "retirement from
    inter-company transfer" and "acquisition from inter-company
    transfer".
Then check in their definition whether they are relevant to
    affiliated company.
If they are NOT RELEVANT to affiliated company, you can
    substitute them with other transaction type Relevant to affiliated
    company.
2. Please check the definition of transfer variant. In the transfer
    variant, you have assigned the transaction type for both retirement
    and acqusition for relation type 1. Both transaction types should be
    set as "post to affiliated company" .
Please note that the abovementioned points must be checked because
the system logic will check the validity of the default value in
Point 1.
Then the transaction type in the point 2 will be used instead and
re-checked again.
Have you try to use 'No Reveune' in the specification for revenue?,
I think if it is afflicated companies, you are not allowed to use
revenue.
This error can also be produced because a wrong definition of the trans-
fer variants. Please have a look on note 327088 for further details.
Most of the issues on this matter were solved with this last Note.
Cheers, Blaz

Mass Intercompany Asset Transfer

Hi
1. We have 7000 assets which needs to a Mass Intercompany Asset transfer
2. Depreciation has been booked to the above assets till Dec 2010 and business wants to transfer to another intercompany and dont want to have any depreication booked in the existing company code for the month of Jan 2011
3. Master data for the transferrable asset needs to be created in the new company with the left over life
4. Balance showing in the existing company books on those assets will get paid by the other company so that there is no loss/gain posting on the asset in the existing company accounts.
5. Once transaction is done: Depreciation will be calculated in the new company.
Suggest the steps and transaction codes that i need to follow
Thanks
Kum

Hi Vish,
We have 7000 assets which needs to a Mass Intercompany Asset transfer
Ans) Use LSMW or BDC with T.Code (ABT1N)
Question: i see multiple assets in Tcode ABT1N but its greyed out, how to open the field. You mean LSMW using recording one asset transfer using ABT1N? Could you please eloborate on this option
2. Depreciation has been booked to the above assets till Dec 2010 and business wants to transfer to another intercompany and dont want to have any depreication booked in the existing company code for the month of Jan 2011
Ans) Confirm from client Acc dep values req or not. Or they want only new values in new comp code.
Question: They want new values in the new company code but the new asset in the new company code will have the balance useful life ( like original life was 5 years out of 3 years were used and now transferred to the new company so the new company will charge only 2 years)
3. Master data for the transferrable asset needs to be created in the new company with the left over life
Ans) with transfer asset values system automatically creates new asset no with values while selecting New Asset radio button
Question: We have the same number range in both company codes and when i click new asset it is giving errors for transaction types. So is the other option is first create asset master record in the other company and then use the same asset as exisiting asset for transfer.
4. Balance showing in the existing company books on those assets will get paid by the other company so that there is no loss/gain posting on the asset in the existing company accounts.
Ans) you transfer assets , not sale or scrap. System will transfer assets with as on date values. No accounting entries loss or gain.
Question: We have straight line half year rule, so is there any way we can switch off this rule while transferring the asset.
5. Once transaction is done: Depreciation will be calculated in the new company.
Ans) this is standard practice system automatically updated asset de-activation field in old comp asset master, dep post only new comp code.
Question: Now Business wants to transfer AUC (asset under construction ) assets also, is there a way to do this and what will be the impact?

ABUMN Intercompany Asset Transfer

Hi All,
When doing intercompany asset transfers using transaction ABUMN for few assets investment order is picked up in line items and for few assets it is not getting picked.
Client want to know why this is happening and can we avoid it. In both cases Assets have assignment to statistical investment order.
When I simulate in transaction ABUMN in additional account assignment internal order is picked up.
Please let me know how the system determines when to pick internal order.
Thanks
Satish

Hi Satish,
I guess that you are using the old asset as a reference or copy to create the new asset.
On copy from old asset master data, we can control some fields should not be copied to the new asset.
Please check the following configuration:
SPRO>>Financial Accounting>>Asset Accounting>>Master Data>>Screen Layout>>Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data>>Double click on Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data>>Select the layout variant attached with the asset (You can find it in the Asset Class settings)>>Double click on Logical field groups>>Select the tab in which you have the order number (Investment support measures)>>Remove selection of the last check box 'Copy'
This will stop copying order number to the master data and it will stop postings in transactions too.
Thanks

Program/BAPI for intercompany asset transfer

Hello guys,
I have to industrialize the company code fusion. One of the fusion step is the transfer of the asset from company A to company B.
I am looking for a tool that will allow me to automate the asset transfer.
Does any one of you know a batch program, BAPI...that will allow me to automate this porcess?
I don't want to use the worklist logic because I need to update the target asset master data from the file content...
Thank you in advance for your help
regards
Pascal

Hi,
I hope that you want to transfer assets from one company code to another...right?
You need to use transaction ABT1N.
But if you want to transfer multiple assets, then there is no SAP standard program or BAPi available to automate the process.
But you can use either develop a program using BDC recording.
Or
Create 2 LSMW batch input recordings. (1 for creation of target asset master(as01) and 2nd for ABT1N)
Hope this information would help you.

Srinu

Acquistion value after Intercompany Asset Transfer

In Asset Explorer under the Planned Values tab:
APC transaction = 1539
Acquisition value = 1539
Ord. Depr. = 266
Value Adj. = -205
Net book value = 1067
There are 3 Transactions:
Date _ Amt_ TType __________________________ Ord dep
8/15/08 909 153 Gross interco.transf.aquis. prior-yr... 121
8/10/08 23685 153 Gross interco.transf.aquis. prior-yr... 3158
8/03/08 1539 153 Gross interco.transf.aquis. prior-yr... 205
Amt Total = 26133 Ord dep Total = 3484
Why does APC and Acquisition only show 1539 and not the 26133 total?
Kevin

Hi Srinu/Asuvamsi/Paul,
Thanks for your reply.
Basically I want to know how to transfer the additions or write-off in the sender company after the balance have been transferred to company B.
Eg as below:
31.12.2009: Depreciation run completed for Dec and transferred the asset to company code B, so the balance in sender company is zero
Additions:
05.01.2010: There is an addition to asset in company A. so I will remove the de-activiation date in master and post the additions and run repeat depreciation.
Now I want to know how to transfer this additions to company B as I have already transferred earlier balances to comp B.
Any implications if the additions are posted after ABT1N.
Thanks,
VS

Error in Asset Transfer

Hi Sappers:
I am facing the following issue in intercompany asset transfer:
Asset numbers: 910000001608 and 910000001609 need to be transferred. The transfer will be moving the assets from company code 9001/cost center 1100105202 to company code 2001/cost center 1010105244.
While transferring the assets the following error appears: Account "Acquis. and production costs" could not be found
I checked up account assignments in T Code AO90 and the account for Acquisition and production costs has been defined.
What could be the issue here?
Thanks,
Appreciate your time!
VR

I just figured out that the Account 'Acquisition:Acquis. and production costs' which is defined in AO90 is defined as GL account (131511000) in the company code 9001 but not in company code 2001.
I believe creating the GL account 131511000 in 2001 should resolve the issue.
Any comments?
Appreciate your time!

Asset Transfer Report with matching new asset number

Hi,
During the past week, our company transferred over 2000 assets from several companies to one company. As a result of the transfer, the tax depreciation keys and tax depreciation life weren't carried over to the new assets. I am wondering if anyone here know how can I generate a asset transfer report with one column listing all transferred out assets and another column listing matching transferred in assets? I used ZFI_INTERCOASTR- Intercompany Asset Transfer, it gave me a transfer report with all the transfer in and transfer out in one column.
Edited by: Peggy Wang on Nov 24, 2009 3:40 PM

Hi,
you can create yourself an ABAP Query on logical database ADA. In node ANEK you have per each (transfer) transaction the information from which asset the transfer was done. With the ABAP Query you can configure your output list completely flexible.

Mass Asset Transfer

We need to transfer 11,000 assets to a new company code. I've created the worklist in AR01, created the substitution rules to populate the new cost centers, and processed through AR31. Does anybody know what the following errors are referencing or why we're receiving them?
1. Error in sub transient work item 'Intercompany Asset Transfer' (Message # SWF_RUN817)
2. Asset 1010 INTERN-00001-1 is incomplete, check asset (I think this one is related to a a missing required field).
3. Error handling for work item 229478 (Message no. SWF_RUN630)

Hi Darrin,
I had a similar requirement in my project as well. Besides others one of the options that exists in such cases is creating a worklist and then a substitution rule . But we felt it was best to apply the OSS note no 851357. It then worked for us, maybe you could try it too.
Thanks
