Mass Intercompany asset transfers

Hello SAP Gurus,
I'd like to know the intercompany asset transfers(Mass). When I'm using the worklist and selected the intercompany assert transfers and released. I'm getting and error that the Asset classes differs from sending company code and recieveing company code.
My questions is if I wanted to transfers mass assets as we're using different asset classes in each company code, tell me what is the process of doing.
Appreciate your help.
Pradeep

Hi,
I would suggest you go for LSMW instead of the worklists in your case. In the recording you have the option to create the new asset in your selected asset class in the receiving company.

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?

Have you tried to use tools like LSMW or CATT ?
It is relatively very easy using transaction SCAT to record with tcode ABT1N. Let me know if it helped.

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

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

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 Capitalisation Asset under Construction to Final Asset

Dear all
Is there any process to mass capitalise Assets under Construction to Final Assets. My client has many assets under construction which need to be settled to a final asset on a periodic basis. They are currenly using t-codes AIBU and AIAB however is there a way to do this for many AuC at one go. Thank you.
Regards
PRG

Hi
You can try using an LSMW for AIAB and AIBU...
I dont think we have any T codes for MASS settlements, unless you have IM active and you use WBS or IO for AUC... In that case, you can use CJ8G or KO8G

Partial fixed asset transfers

Hi Experts,
In partial fixed asset transfers, why do we need to indicate whether it is a prior-year acquisition or current year acquisition? Why cannot the system pick this information?
Really appreciate your insight in this regard.
Thanks in advance,
Em Jay

Hi Alex,
Thanks for your reply. But I need more clarification, here the assets need to have new cost centers updated in their master data.
Will ABUMN help in this case? I mean this is master data change in assets so how can we change it by transfer?
Thanks

Hi,
This is happended due to wrong selection of check box like GR non valuated in item detail section of your PO line item.
Check your PO, for your PO item, go to item detail section, under delivery tab, there will be a check box named GR non valuated...This must have been unchecked while creation of your PO. Since there will not be any accounting document during MIGO in this case.
Create another PO with corect settings as suggested in your sandbox and feel the difference.
This will solve your issue.
Thanks,

MASTER DATA MASS CHANGE- ASSET

Hello,
I have a problem with substitution....
I need to do the following :
In asset master record, tab allocation I want to make a substitution in the field " group evaluation 1" e.g. from 2 to 7;
With GGB1 I create a substitution in AM -Asset Accounting mass change, callup point 4.
With OA02 I link my substitution to the company code.
With AR01 I create a worklist and I choose the workflow task:"Change asset w/o dialog (bulk change), I select my substitution.
Then AR31 for releasing my worklist.
I get an error message : " Work item 000000386089: Data for type A cannot be written (table SWWWIHEAD) ".
I did a bit of debugging and it seems that the error is triggered because there are no records for the current version plan (PLVAR = 01) in the table HRP1217. I must say that we did not implement HR at all here. We are using version 4.6C.
Please help me to solve this problem !
Thanks.

Hi Gabriela,
For this little change it better to create a simple LSMW. This is going faster then with Mass change. (no transports,...).
With SE16 you get the asset numbers and evaluation groeps in EXCEL, there you change the values and import this with LSMW
