Issue with Asset Retirement without Revenue (ABAVN)

Hi Experts, hope that you are able to help shed some light on an issue with retirement without revenue (Scrapping).
We have an asset capitalised in FY 2007 with two depreciation areas 01 - Book & 15 Tax. There have then been settlements made to the asset from WSB Elements using transaction type 331 & 336. These were through FY 2008 and depreciation was calculated correctly throughout this time.
The issue was then in FY 2009 when there have been negative settlements posted (adjustments) to the asset and then the asset was retired. The retirement was posted but the values aren't what was expected. It was my belief that the posting should be credit APC, debit accumulated depreciation and then posting to a loss account defined in AO86.
Period Control are the same for retirement '01' for both the straight-line method in book depreciation and the declining balance method in the tax depreciation area .
The posting has been pretty much as expected in the book depreciation area - but in the tax depreciation area where the depreciation key is declining balance there is a reported gain from the retirement.
The report for depreciation are 01 - book shows retirement $1m split between $1.1m in PY and -$0.1m in Current Year.
The issue is that in the tax depreciation area the amount posted for retirement is $1.0 but depreciation posted is $1.125 and -$0.5 with a respective Gain for both prior year (PY) and current year... why has this happened ???
Thanks in advance
Chris
Retirement posting:
PK 75 CR APC value                 TType 200
PK 70 DR Acc. Dep'n CY          TType 250
PK 70 DR Amortisation              TType 290

Thanks Tarun,
I've solved checking the limitation in Customizing. There was a limitation for the Retirement: this was activated only for first Depreciation Area, so for the other ones no retirement will be calculated and net book value was always not equal to zero.
Regards,
Jody

  • F-02 with asset retirement: Trans. type not possible - No affil. company

    Hello Gurus,
    I am struggling with the following, I hope you can help me:
    We want to sell an investment using a trading partner. When entering the asset retirement transaction type 230, I get error message AA 389 Trans. type not possible (No affiliated company specified). I however enter the trading partner through 'More data' but when coming back to the asset retirement, T. type 210 is written and changing it to 230 gives me the error.
    I am using document type DR for which the flags 'enter trading partner' and 'Inter co. postings' are set. I tried without the flag 'Inter co. postings', no success.
    I have tried with Trans. type 210 and changing the line item after simulation, no success as well.

    Hello Alex,
    Try F-92, on the screen for creating the revenue line item, i.e. the credit side, you must activate the indicator "asset retirement." > Next, press 'Enter' key, after which the screen 'Create Asset Retirement' appears and in this dialog box screen enter the appropriate 'Transacion Type' instead.
    Hope the above helps.

  • Issue with Asset under construction account

    Hi all, I hope you can provide some assistance.
    We have a situation where:
    Asset created FY09
    Internal order created and assigned to settle to the asset. FY09
    Goods Received. FY09
    Internal order Settled FY09
    Asset disabled FY09
    Goods Receipt Reversed FY10.
    Settlement re-run FY10 as part of normal EOP processing. (Order was not clsd)
    Settlement document Reversed when mistake was realised.
    The AUC GL account is now out of balance as settlement cannot occur fully on the closed asset.  The posting rules for the AUC account mean that you cannot post directly to AUC account.
    Any suggestions or a transaction to synchronise the GL account for AUC with another P&L account would be appreciated.
    Thanks  Doug

    Hi there, thanks for your feed back. We didn't want to reactivate the asset due to issues with depreciation etc. So what we did was create a new asset and assign it to the internal order with a new settlement rule.  Then re- receipted goods inwards, settled and it all balanced correctly.

  • Issue with Asset Managemenet (parallel Currencies)

    This message is from my customer:
    Capital investments are kept in Asset Managemenet (FI-AA),  balances are integrated part of FI-GL, shown on respective accounts.
    Within AM, multiple valuation areas exists, as an asset underly different rules, depending of it's accounting (book) value and tax value etc.
    Therefore, we have one area (01) representing the book value, - which is also the GL-balance. In addition, AM keep another area (10) representing the tax value.
    Finally, we have a third area representing the difference between Tax and book, (called 'delta'), and these values are posted to GL as 'more/less  depreciation', enabling us to report both 'Accounting books' and 'Norwegian tax books'. This 'delta posting' is part of standard, monthly depreciation run.
    We have a challenge in the case were we have USD as functional currency, in an entity registrated as Norwegian a/s.
    Norwegian tax authorities require the tax values of the depreciation to be based on historical NOK-investments.  Both FI-GL and FI-AA support the parallel currency
    accounting, but not when it comes to the handling of the 'delta-values'. In this case, the initial investments are kept in histotical NOK in AM, and in AM the NOK-investment is depreciatied in the tax area. However, when the delta-posting is done, this is done in USD only (based on area 01 and 10), and the parallel NOK-value of this transaction is translated based on exchange rate on transaction date, NOT the historical NOK-value.  The consequense of this is that the tax-books in NOK is incorrect, and there is a need to do manual adjustments, based on tiresome spreadsheet calculations.
    Now: is this the only way SAP handles parallel currencies in AA/AM? No way to configure it to use historical exchange rates at all?
    If this cannot be changed within SAP, has anyone else solved this kind of problem and might help me getting started?

    Hello!
    Does someone have answers to this:
    From SAP Help:
    The central procurement and processing of data for an asset takes place
    in the logical database ADA in the FI-AA component. One of the functions
    that is carried out in the database is currency translation. Currency
    translation for a currency that is different from the company code
    currency is carried out according to a translation method that you
    define in FI-AA Customizing.
    Where do i find this customising?
    If the parameters of this standard translation method do not meet your
    needs, you can define your own individual translation method using this
    SAP enhancement.
    Activities
    Follow the procedure outlined below:
    <b>
    1.  Activate enhancement project AMGS_001.
    2.  Modify function module EXIT_SAPLAMGS_001. Enter your own code in the
        included program ZXBADU03.
        When the enhancement project is active, the system uses the function
         module at the corresponding positions in the logical database.
      3.  Define a translation method in FI-AA Customizing (Information
          System) that uses translation date 3 (own translation).
    </b>
      Parameters
      The following transfer parameters are available for function module
      EXIT_SAPLAMGS_001:
      o   I_AMOUNT (amount in local currency)
      o   I_ANLAV (master data for the asset)
      o   I_AFABER (depreciation area)
      o   I_BERDATUM (report date)
      o   I_UMVAR (translation method)
      The translated amount is expected as a return value in the field
      E_AMOUNT. This value is then transferred to the respective report.
    This looks promissing But has anyone tried this exit, EXIT_SAPLAMGS_001?
    Will it work for me?

  • Please elaborate me the mechanism of Asset Retirement

    Hi,
    Please elaborate me the mechanism of Asset Retirement
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Please go thru the following document if it is helpful.
    Asset Retirement:
    Purpose
    Asset retirement is the removal of an asset or part of an asset from the asset portfolio. This removal of an asset (or part of an asset) is posted from a bookkeeping perspective as an asset retirement. Depending on organizational considerations, or the business transaction which leads to the retirement, you can distinguish the following types of retirement:
    An asset is sold, resulting in revenue being earned. The sale is posted with a customer.
    An asset is sold, resulting in revenue being earned. The sale is posted against a clearing account.
    An asset has to be scrapped, with no revenue earned.
    An asset is sold to an affiliated company (refer to Manual Posting of Intercompany Asset Transfer/Retirement)
    Process Flow
    There are transactions and transaction types in the system for these different retirement types.
    Asset Retirement
    Asset Sale with Customer
    The system enables you to post the entry to Accounts Receivable, the revenue posting and the asset retirement in one step. In this posting transaction, you have to post the revenue (debit A/R, credit revenue from asset sale) first, and then post the asset retirement. An indicator in the posting transaction specifies that the system posts the asset retirement after the revenue posting.
    The prerequisite for this is that the sales revenue account in Financial Accounting, to which the revenue should be posted, has a field status variant in its master data in which the Asset retirement field (category Asset Accounting) is defined as a required or optional entry field. You define the field status variant in Customizing for Financial Accounting (Financial Accounting Global Settings ® Document ® Line Item ® Controls).
    Posting of Gain or Loss
    When you use the standard transaction types, the system automatically creates a gain posting or a loss posting, as well as a revenue clearing entry, in addition to the asset and accumulated depreciation correction postings. This gain/loss posting, as well as the revenue posting, are not dependent on the transaction type. The automatic creation of these postings is controlled by the Gain/loss from retirement indicator in the definition of the transaction type. You can also choose not to set this indicator, in which case you have to enter the postings manually.
    In an exceptional situation, an integrated asset retirement with revenue can also be posted although the asset does not have APC in the master depreciation area.
    For more information on ways of posting gain and loss, see Posting Gain/Loss.
    Retirement Without Revenue
    A retirement without revenue is the removal of an asset from the asset portfolio without any revenue, for example, by scrapping. When you use this posting option, the system does not create revenue and gain/loss postings. Instead it creates a Loss from an asset retirement without revenue posting in the amount of the net book value being retired.
    Complete/Partial Retirement
    An asset retirement can refer to an entire fixed asset (complete retirement) or part of a fixed asset (partial retirement). In both cases, the system automatically determines, using the asset retirement dates entered, the amounts to be charged off for each depreciation area. You can initiate the partial retirement of a fixed asset by entering one of the following:
    The amount of the acquisition and production costs being retired
    A percentage rate
    A quantity
    When you enter the amount of APC that is being retired, the system determines the percentage to be retired from the asset using the first depreciation area in which posting is to take place. It determines the percentage amount of APC being retired in that area, and uses the same percentage for other areas. You can enter a quantity, provided that you have not specified a retirement amount or percentage rate. The system interprets the quantity as a ratio to the total quantity of the asset and thereby determines the asset retirement percentage rate. If necessary, you can also manually correct the retirement amounts that were calculated by the system in individual depreciation areas. The system then recalculates the retirement amounts for that area, and any areas that are dependent on that area.
    The asset value date of the retirement is recorded in the asset master record. You cannot post any transactions with a value date before the value date of the last retirement. If you nevertheless need to post such a transaction, you must first reverse all retirements that lie after the value date of the belated posting. After posting the belated transaction, you can then re-post the retirements.
    Transaction Type (Prior-Year Acquisitions/Current-Year Acquisitions)
    Make sure that you select the correct transaction type for both partial and complete retirement. For the complete retirement of a fixed asset acquired in previous years, always select a transaction type intended for prior-year acquisitions. A partial retirement can always relate either to prior-year acquisitions or to current-year acquisitions.
    The complete retirement of a fixed asset is only possible if all transactions to the asset were posted with a value date before the asset value date of asset retirement. You must clear or reverse down payments and investment support measures, which are in the same posting year as the retirement, before you post the complete retirement.
    Prior-year asset acquisitions and current-year acquisitions are shown separately from one another in the document.
    Proportional Value Adjustments
    Based on the value date and period control, the system automatically determines the reference period for the retirement. The system automatically determines any depreciation (value adjustments) that is applicable to the part of the asset being retired, up to the reference period (retirement). The system automatically retires this depreciation at the time of the retirement transaction. This procedure guarantees that the percentage of the book value that is retired is identical with the percentage of the acquisition and production costs that is retired.
    Graphic: Determining Proportional Value Adjustments
    The system automatically posts the proportional value adjustments retired during an asset retirement. You can specify special transaction types for this automatic posting. You enter these transaction types in the Customizing definition of the retirement or transfer transaction types (Value adjustments function). These special transaction types for the proportional value adjustments are particularly important for group consolidations, so that the individual transaction can be identified as retirement of transfer.
    The standard transaction types delivered by SAP are already defined in this way. The system uses the transaction type 290 for proportional values with retirements. For transfers it uses transaction types 390/395 (transfer retirement/acquisition).
    Retirement of Low Value Assets
    There are special considerations for the retirement of low value assets (LVAs). It is usually necessary to simplify the business transactions involved, due to the large number of assets that are being retired. It is not necessary to actually post the retirement of low value assets in order for the assets transactions to be displayed correctly in the asset history sheet. It is possible to simulate the retirements of low value assets during a time period you specify. Enter the LVA asset classes and the simulation time period in the initial screen of the asset history sheet (see Asset History Sheet).
    If you want to actually post the retirement of low value assets, use the usual procedure for asset retirements.
    Retiring Several Asset Subnumbers Simultaneously
    The system enables you to post the complete retirement of several subnumbers of a fixed asset in one step (generic entry using an asterisk (*) in the subnumber field). The system performs asset postings and value adjustment postings for each sub-number.
    Sales revenue is proportionally allocated to the individual sub-numbers according to their acquisition value (including revaluation).
    Retirement of Assets with Investment Support
    For information on the special concerns involved when retiring assets with investment support, see Investment Support on the Liabilities Side and Investment Support Managed on the Assets Side .
    Retirement Costs
    It is possible to enter the costs of the retirement (for example, removal costs) for statistical purposes during the retirement posting. The standard report for asset retirements (Information System) then displays these costs in a special field. Note that gain/loss and retirement costs are shown separately in the report. In addition, the retirement costs are not automatically transferred to cost accounting.
    Mass Retirement
    When an enterprise sells a large portion of its fixed assets (such as a plant or a building), it is necessary to post the retirement of all the individual assets which make up the whole. Since the number of affected assets can be very large, the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) component makes it possible to make the necessary postings using mass processing. For more information, see Mass Retirement.

  • Derivation rule at asset retirement

    Hii experts,
    we have requirement of assets procurement through grants they receive. Funds of fund center got consumed at the asset acquisition but when i m triyng to retire/scrap assets... its giving an error for FI313 I.e
    No funds center entered/derived in item 00001 (1000/2000000122/)
    I came to know that we need to prepare some derivation rule of the retirement of assets to resolve the issue.. Please guide me as i am very new to grant management...
    Regards,
    Abhay

    Dear Abhay,
    Since you have created Asset Codes in Asset Master, you have to provide Asset Codes in Asset Retirement Derivation Rule, so that system can derive proper values as per your derivate rule. You have to maintain the following derivation rule for Asset Retirement:
    Transaction Type (TT)+Asset Code (To-From)+Document Type(DT)=Target Commitment Item
    Mention all the Asset Code number ranges maintained in the system, while Document Type AA will be used for TT 200 (Retirement without Revenue) and Document Type DR will be used for TT 210 (Retirement with Revenue). You can derive statistical or dummy commitment item (60 and 3) for processing of transaction.
    Further, you can also add cost centre as source field to derive funds centre. Also make sure you keep the rule in the logical order, since it may affect the derivation of fields. Also check note 666322 to make use of trace feature to ensure proper derivation of values.
    I hope this will resolve the issue.
    Regards,
    Amar Lal

  • Negative assets retirement

    Hi Sap Gurus,
              My client have a requirement where they want to retire the negatives assets. When we are retiring these assets via ABAVN there should be a gain but it is adding up the amount. Can any one suggest what will be the best transaction type to use for negative assets retirement without summing up the total. I even tried using copying standard delivered ttyp to modify still it is not working. When we run the retirement report it not showing up as well. Any help will be great.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Babu

    Hi Babu
    Note 1117720 - It applies to ECC 6.0 till EhP3.. if you are on Ehp4 - then it does not apply to you
    you can just put this note no in SNOTE and execute... After download you can check if its applicable or not
    The note offers a work around also... Use % retirement.. Means, if you are retring fully, then choose 100%
    if that does not help, please raise an OSS msg to SAP mentioning this note no

  • Issue with migrated assets

    We have an issue with migrated assets a few years ago where some assets have now started depreciating in one depreciation area but not the others.
    The assets had been retired at the date of migration.  In order for them to correctly be shown as part of the opening balance for the year and also shown as being disposed during the year, in addition to loading their original cost, opening accumulated depreciation and depreciation for the year, a record was created in the ANEP table to show that the asset had been disposed of during the year.
    The records were created as below:
    This did not cause any issues until we upgraded to EHP 6 about six month ago.  Before this, depreciation area 30 did not generate depreciation entries.  Subsequent to the upgrade, depreciation area 30 started depreciating and posting depreciation to Group Currency.
    For example, the asset below is not generating depreciation in depreciation area 01:
    But it is depreciating in depreciation area 30:
    Can anybody suggest how we correct the historic disposal record in ANEP for depreciation area 30?
    Regards
    Gareth

    Thanks Ajay
    The area is now set to post depreciation, which it did not before.  To be honest, we actually prefer this as the previous configuration resulted in FX differences, which this does not.
    Our only issue is with the assets that are now only depreciating in dep area 30 which we are trying to rectify.
    The problem is that they have a NBV in area 30 which is incorrect.  The other areas are correct.
    Ideally we need to scrap them without generating a FI posting.
    Any ideas?

  • How to use 2 GL for loss made on asset retirement w/o revenue ?

    how to use 2 GL for loss made on asset retirement w/o revenue.
    hello everyone

    example  some time use GL 6500001  some time use 6500002
    in standard configuration AO90 , field loss made on asset retirement w/o revenue, there is only one field.
    so i can use only one G/L.
    it' s not good if i must to change configuration (and transport request )every time that user need to change GL.
    now i got one idea.
    i know that table T095 keep account determinaton and GL account data.
    so if i make program that change data from table T095 directly. i donot need to change config everytime.
    but i am not sure that this way will make impact other standard program or not.
    i will wait for better idea from everyone.
    please help.

    Substitution consist of several steps  each with two parts:
    1- Prerequisite
    2- Replacement

  • The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin, how can I eliminate this problem without dropping m. firefox?

    A few days ago I tried to e-mail a friend, when I started A box came up and it required me to add a plugin..Java. I contacted my e-mail courier and microsoft, they told me that is was a plugin from Mozilla Firefox. Since then I must go through Java to send or open an e-mail... this is NOT to my satisfaction, it takes too long for all of this to open and if it is not cleared , I am dropping Mozilla and going elsewhere. Why has this occurred? Is this a result of the last update? If so can I delete the last update and continue on the other version?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == last week

    Sorry, I have no idea what you mean by '''"The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin,"'''.
    If you think your problem is caused by the Java plugin, you should visit the Java support forum for assistance.
    http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jspa
    If you could explain what you mean by '''"time unfriendly''' issue with my e-mail account", maybe we'll be able to help you solve that issue.
    It might be helpful for us if we knew exactly which web-mail provider you are using. It seems strange to me that viewing or sending web-mail would actually "need" Java for operation, its more likely that some other item on the web page needs Java to run some advertising or other garbage that isn't a necessary part of the web-mail functionality you want to use.

  • Asset Retirement: Asset Sale without customer (ABAON)

    Hi Experts,
    While posting Asset Retirement in ABAON, error occurs as "SYST: You can not determine the period for rule 02 to 23.03.11".
    Here we are retiring 3 assets. One from one asset class & other 2 from another asset class.
    for the 1st Asset Class- period ctrl. method is 006 and in T-code AFAMP, in retirement column rule for 006 is defined as 11, which means "Next Month". AND...........
    for 2nd Asset class- period ctrl. method is 003 and in T-code AFAMP, in retirement column rule for 003 is defined as 02, which means "Pro Rata upto mid-period at period start date."
    Now I think problem is there for 2nd asset class as rule 02 can not determine the period according to error.
    Please explain the logic? What axactly system is saying? and how can I solve this issue?

    Hi Nilesh
    Nice to know the issue has been resolved.
    OAVH is used to determine the relationship between posting intervals and periods in the given fiscal year version. The assignment entries in OAVH have to be changed in the following cases:
    u2022     You use period control rules you defined yourself.
    u2022     You change the definition of the periods in the fiscal year version in Financial Accounting.
    As you noticed, case you use a year-dependent fiscal year variant, then you have to perform OA84 to generate period controls properly.
    For more information, you can refer to IMG documentation in following IMG menu path:

  • Having Issues with iTunes 10.5.3 and uninstalled. Cannot reinstall without upgrading to newest Snow Leopard? Using MacBook Pro running 10.5.8.

    Running OS X Leopard 10.5.8 and was having issues with my version of iTunes 10.5.3 (freezing and getting rainbow spinny wheel, not allowing me to do anything, while importing music from a different folder into the iTunes). Anyway, so I uninstalled iTunes and went to download the newest version (10.7 i believe) and after downloading and attempting to install, i was alerted that I cannot install and run this application without having the newest version of OS X 10.6 i believe. So, what I'm ultimately trying to figure out is if I need to spend $130(that i do not have) on Amazon to get the Snow Leopard 10.6.3 then pay another $20 in the App Store to upgrade to Mountain Lion as well? I need to have iTunes on this laptop due to having an iPhone 4 that needs to be able to be synced on this computer. Bottom Line is, I don't have really have $150 to upgrade all this at the current moment just to get iTunes back on my system. Any suggestions or am I basically having to drop the $150 just to get iTunes back so I can sync my iPhone 4 again?
