Making Useful life field optional in Asset master creation(AS01)

Hi all,
I want to make 'Useful life' field in 'Depreciation area' tab as optional in AS01 (Asset master).
1. I made the screen layout changes using AO21 and made Useful life optional
2. I assigned the above screen layout in OAYZ
Despite doing this, during asset master creation, the field still shows as 'Required' and not as 'optional'.
Am I missing anything else?  Kindly provide some pointers.
Thanks,
Sridevi

Hi Sridevi
Please check your depreciation key. If your depreciation is based on useful life, the key is required regardless the field status.
Thanks
Sanjeev

  • What is the use of tab - "ALLOCATION" in Asset master creation (AS01)?

    Hi experts...
    in AS01, there are certain tabs like General, Time-dependent, Allocation, origine, Dep area...etc...
    From these i am not understood the use of "Allocatio" tab. Please tell me when/why/where this can be useful?
    Regards:
    Dasu

    The evaluation group fields are basically used in asset reports for classifying the assets based on various freely definable user texts. The investment support tab is basically used if assets are also defined as investment support measures in ANVEST. Lastly the equipment tab is used if there is integration between assets created in Asset acocuntng and equipment created in PM-Plant maintenance module.

  • How to bring Profit center field in to asset master

    HI,
    We are having new GL Profit center scenario active. My question is
    1.How to bring Profit center field in to Asset Master?
    I am not finding the field"Profit Center" under the configurations step Asset Accounting>Intergration with GL Accounting>Additional Account Assignment objects>>Activate Account assignment objects.
    I know how to do it if it the Profit center field appears in the above step.HOW TO INCLUDE in the above step??Is there any prior activity I need to do?
    2.If I could see the Profit Center field in the above step,then I can add it in T Code ACSET and select the field in Asset Screen Layout,so that it can come up in Asset Master.
    If question#1 can be answered it will be great.

    Hi,
    Until some years ago Profit Center did not exist in FI-AA master data. The Profit Center was derived from other objects (like the cost center) during posting, but there was no way to enter a Profit Center directly in the asset.
    Asset master data has been enhanced with EHP 5 to contain also fields for Profit Center and Segment. To make use of that functionality you need to activate the Business Function for "Segment Reporting" as explained in the Link posted by Jayj before.
    Once Business Function "Segment Reporting" is active, you will be able to make ACSET settings for the Profit Center like for the other account assignment objects. Without the Business Function the field does not exist in asset accounting and therefore you cannot find it in customizing.

    I suppose you need to check your configuration of Low Value Assets for each
    depreciation area.
    But before that, please tell me which class of Assets you are using ......Is
    it the *LVA Class 5000 ( individual management )* or* 5001 ( collective
    management)*. Either way, you need to assign a maximum value / maximum value
    over quantity, as the case may be. Unless and until you furnish a value cap,
    the asset class does not permit you to create asset master records.
    Please look into your IMG under the path:
    *IMG -> Financial Accounting -> Asset Accounting -> Valuation ->Amount
    Specifications(Company Code / Depreciation Area) ->
    Specify Maximum Amount for LVA + Asset Classes*
    You would see two activities listed.
    Under *Activity 1*, you need to select and assign value check (*represented
    by number 1*) if you are using *LVA Class 5000* ; alternatively, you need
    to select and assign Check Maximum Amount with Quantity (*represented by
    number 2*) if you are using *LVA class 5001*.
    You need to do this for each depreciation area you wish to apply this value
    cap to and save (using the floppy icon and look out for the confirmatory
    message at the bottom left of your screen).
    Under *Activity 2,* You need to furnish a value cap ( a ceiling in monetary
    units, currency-specifically) for each depreciation area ( a column for
    document value and another for Purchase order value ( possibly to
    accommodate any tax, as applicable). Please make sure that you do it for
    your company code and for each depreciation area wherein you want to control
    using a value cap.
    Save and look for the confirmatory message at the bottom left of the screen.

  • Asset master creation error

    HI all,
    when I'm creating asset master at AS01, I'm getting an error "No internal number range is defined for the equipment category", I'm getting this error only for one asset class. While I'm creating asset, at ALLOCATION tab, under INTEGRATION OF ASSET AND EQUIPMENT" tag, system getting automatic values as Equipment class,
    Is there any where do we assign asset class to equipment categories??
    How do I solve this issue???
    thanks & regards
    msr

    HI,
    I'm not getting any problem from asset accounting side, everything is fine, no range was defined, a/c determination everything is good. I'm getting error relating to EQUIPMENT, Equipment categories are maintained in PLANT MAINTENANCE, while I'm creating Asset, at allocation tab, I'm getting EQUIPMENT CATEGORY automatically, that's why I'm getting error. Is there any way to see any config setting  between ASSETS AND PLANT MAINTENANCE?

  • Screen Layout Field in the Asset Master Record

    What is the use of the screen in the asset master record, ANLA-FELEI?
    We have some assets where there are different values between this screen layout and the screen layout defined at the asset class (i.e. through configuration).
    It seems the one defined within the asset class takes precedence.

    HI
    Scree Layout controls the diplay of fields, it may not be necessary for a user to use all the fileds provided by SAP. Hence the options like Required, Optional and Suppress are used to control the screen diplay and the TABs to be displayed based on the need.
    Asses within the same class will have same fields since the screen layout are assigned to an Asset class.
    Scree layout for the Tab Depreciation Area can also be controlled with the screen layout defied for the Depreciation Area.  With this one can have different screen layouts per dep. area.
    Hope i'm clear to  you.
    Thanks,
    Vijay

  • Add field group to Asset Master Data Screen Layout

    Hi Gurus !!
    Does anybody know how to add field group in SPRO(Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data)?. I have created my layout by coping 1000, but then I need to add Fund Center in Time-Dependent data logical field group.
    Thanks a lot,
    Sasha

    I don't think you can add a funds center to the Time dependent tab.
    Instead you need to use Derivatuon strategy. Use tcode FMDERIVE for strategy and FMDERIVER for GL accounts to cost center and cost centers to asset numbers or number range. From here the system derives teh funds center.
