Legacy Assets Data

Hi,
Why SAP has given Legacy Asset Data but the same was not give for the Vendor and Customer for the legacy data.
With regards,
V.Krishnamoorthy

Hi,
Functionality of Asset Accounting is completely different from AR or AP.
Asset values need to be captured with APC, accumulated depreciation and depreciation for the year, if the go-live is not in the year beginning. Hence, you need to upload legacy data thru AS91 and manually synchronise the value in GL either by OAMK & FB01 or OASV.
In AR/AP, you need to upload only open items. Hence, you can post the same with relevant posting keys in FB01 itself.
Hope this clarifies your question.

Legacy asset data upload for multiple line items

Hello
Legacy asset data upload for multiple line items- for example Building is an asset which is having different line items for purchasing of land,constructaion or renovation etc.........now to upload the legacy data what should be consider...only one line item for Building or numbers of line item.........
which one is the proper way to do this exercise?
regards

Hi,
It completely depends on clients requirement. but following are few approaches:
1. Define Building as Asset Class.
2. Create a Building at specific location at asset code and
3. create asset sub numbers for other components.
other approach would be:
1. Define Building as Asset Class.
2. Create a Building at specific location at asset code and
3. create further asset codes for other components where field description will be used for relating each other.

AS91 - Legacy assets data - Ord depr posted fieds only displayed.

In As91 I have tried to create one legacy asset, in the takeover screen, ordinary depreciation posted field (depreciation amounts for Jan to April 09) is not open for all the depreciation areas.
How can I change this custo?
In AS92, if I want to change the data, I have this message: u201CAsset values are only displayed for depreciation.u201D
How can I change the 2009 amounts for depreciation ?
Asset data transfer date i have given as 01.05.2009. It is Go Live date
Asset data ordinary dep 2009 period 04.
Can any one help me on this?
Thanks

When you are doing the transaction AS91 it update the values in the table ANLC and when you create asset transactions it update there values to. When a depreciation run is done for this fiscal year it change values in ANLC to.
When some one change the values then in AS92 there is no FI posting and no way to found back what the reason is for the difference between FI and CO.
The depreciation calculation is based on a fiscal year! When the take over value is wrong for this year depreciation then SAP correct it in the first depreciation run.
The last years a did a lot of uploads from other systems in existing companies with assets but used an other way to do the uploads then with AS91
Created an asset with AS01 (option post capitalization on)
Posted the values with the transaction abso with a copy from transaction type 147 (made some little changes in it for reporting reason in the asset history list). In the asset I filled in old asset number, this number was used in the upload to found the SAP asset number for the abso posting.
With the transaction type 147 you can fill in the values by depreciation area (acquisition value, depreciation last years, depreciation this year).
With this option it create direct posting in FI and when a value is wrong you can reverse the posting and post it again.
For the uploads I used LSMW
This option is not the standard way how SAP advise you to do the Legacy assets data upload

Legacy Asset takeover-AS91

ranga

John,
Have a look to your copy rules for aquasition and depreciation transaction code OABC and OABD. When you have selected indentical then it is grayed out.
When the value from the source depreciation area the same then there is no reason to change it

Asset Retirement (Legacy assets) high priority

MODERATOR: message locked. please read the rules of engagement before posting.
Dear Friends,
I am doing retirement for Legacy assets using F-92 transaction code .i selected transaction type 210 . it is giving following error
Retirement of old assets data not possible (No existing old assets data) for some asset class assets
and some asset class assets i am getting following error
Posting with trans.type 210 not possible (No acquisition posted) but values are there in legacy asset(take over values tab)
why some asset class assets are getting Retirement of old assets data not possible and some asset class assets are getting No acquisition posted
for normal assets created using AS01 no error is coming
some Legacy asset class assets retirement happening fine
plz suggest which transaction type has to use for legacy assets or need to create separate transaction type for legacy assets
we are using group asset concept
errors are
Retirement of old assets data not possible (No existing old assets data)
Message no. AA416
Diagnosis
You have tried to post an retirement based on amount, using a transaction type which refers to old assets data (acquisitions from previous years).
However, the sum of the APC at the start of the fiscal year and the transactions, related to the past, equals 0.
Procedure
Check the transaction type entered and the asset.
Posting with trans.type 210 not possible (No acquisition posted)
Message no. AA324
Diagnosis
Transaction type 210 belongs to a transaction type group, which can only be used to post to assets to which posting has already been performed. However, no postings have been made to this asset.
Procedure
Use a transaction type from a transaction type group, which can be used for the first acquisition to an asset.

Govind

Hi,
If you are doing upload of legacy assets each year wise, then you have to AJRW for every year.
Another way-- you can set your legacy asset takeover date as same as your last closed FY end date, by keeping this date as takeover date you may not be able to run any asset balances report with a report date, which is prior to your takeover date.
For ex: if your takeover date is 31.03.2009, then you cannot run balances report with a report date <31.03.2009
For dep rate changes issue----
You have create your legacy asset with a dep key, which should have the rate of dep from takeover date only.
Whatever depreciation rate changes happend before takeover cannot be maintained in the asset master, since SAP will not calculates dep prior to takeover date. Since system will calculates dep from 01.04.2009 (according to example date) with the rate, which is appilicable from 01.04.2009 only.
What you have to do is, you need to create your dep key with currenct dep rate only and maintain the same in your legacy asset. So while creating through AS91, you need to maintain the APC value (original purchase price) Accum dep ( this amount might have derived from various dep rate calculations outside system till takeover).

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.

I want to change the Legacy assest data through as92

Hello Sap Gurus
I want to change the legacy Assest data for my client. While Changeing its give error that Transfer the data or close the Year. year 2005 is closed. In Assest data Transfer , In date Parameters given data is 31-03-2007. For 2006 Dep is not at run.
Can any one help me in this Regards.
Thanks
Raj

Hi Raj,
Use transaction code AJRW to run the Fiscal Year change for 2005 and AJAB to run Year End Close. Do the same for 2006.
Then, go back to AS92, indicate the Asset number, subnumber and the company code. Click on Take over values. Correct the APC and the Accummulated Depreciation value to what it should be and hit the enter button. This would determine your NBV for you. Save your entries.
I hope the above helps.
Do not forget to award the points please.

I am uploading the AUC Legacy assets through AS91 transaction code.
In AS91 - I need to select Transactions option & should enter the transaction type 900 to give the Legacy AUC valules.
When i give the Transactioon type 900 for AUC assets load in AS91, the system is giving the Asset Value Data as 01/04/2009.
But the Asset Data takeover date given in the system was 31/03/2009. But why the system is taking 01/04/2009 (This is Fiscal year starting date for Country India).
#Now my problem is i should get the *Asset value Date -31/03/2009 but not 01/04/2009.
Kindly advise me how to change this asset value date to 31/03/2009 from 01/04/2009? It would be a great help for me if any one can help me or provide me some inputs...

Legacy Asset aquisition

Dear All,
Scenario
Date of Capitalization : 09.07.2006
Useful life of this Asset is 8 years
As on 30.04.2010 expired useful years = 3 years 296 days
The asset details are as follows
Aquisition value is 142,049 KWD
Accm.Depr is 68,033 (as of 30.04.2010)
NBV 74016.000 as of 30.04.2010
I tried to aquire these details through AS91, but I am not able to enter any values in Take over values.
I am able to use only 2 fields in AS91 take over values i.e. Ord.dep.posted & Pstd.unpl.dep.
I need to get the above details in Asset master.
I am aware of entering these values in GL by reseting the recon in AA config.
Please advise.
Thanks
Sunil.

Hi,
Following settings are relevant for legacy assets update.
IMG->Financial Accounting (New)->Asset Accounting->Asset Data Transfer->Parameters for Data Transfer->Date Specifications
1) Specify Transfer Date/Last Closed Fiscal Year (It is recommended to maintain takeover date similar to your cutover date
2) Specify Last Period Posted in Prv.System (Transf.During FY)
These settings determine what field to be opened in AS91 based on capitalization date in General view of the asset master.

Problem in legacy asset upload

Hi,
we are going live in the mid of the year. We have fixed take over date 31/07/2010.
depreciation in legacy system executed up to 7 th period. that also maintained in config.
Now i am uploading legacy assets purchased in the current year. But in take over values fields for accumulated
depreciation, acquisition value are in GRAY and not allowed .can any body help in this regard.?
But assets purchased earlier to 01/01/2010 are taking correctly and take over values fields are in active(editable mode)

Hi,
The APC and accumulated depreciation fields will be opened up only for the assets which have capitalization year is earlier than current year. For the legacy assets which are capitalized during the year but before cutover date, you need to enter value as below
1) execute T-Code : AS91
2) enter asset master data
3) Click take over values tab
4) After getting into this screen, you can find transactions tab on the top

Legacy asset creation in AS91

Hi
We are trying to upload the legacy assets using transaction code AS91. We are fine with all the fields but we want different depreciation start date for different depreciation area. Say for example for depreciation area 01 depreciation start date should be 01.04.1997 and for depreciation area 30 depreciation start date should be 01.04.1992. But I could able to enter 01 depreciation area start date but not for depreciation area 30, because it is gray out. Can you please tell me how to open depreciation start date field for all depreciation areas.
Regards
Padma

I really doubt whether this requirement can be fulfilled with different depreciation dates for each depreciation area. However, you may please post in AA forum to get better replies.

Ravi

How do we transfer Legacy Assets to SAP ?

hello How do we transfer Legacy Assets to SAP ? thank you sureshm

Hi Suresh,
You can use t-code AS91 - to record asset master data and values in FI-AA and OASV to record the the balances in GL.
Using above mentioned transaction codes is tedious if you are dealing with numbers of legacy assets. I suggest you coordinate the issue with your ABAP programmer for the creation of Asset upload program.
