Mass updation of Dep start date in Asset

Hi All,
Please note that I have created a new depreciation area for client for tax reporting purpose(areas do not post).The client wants to update the depreciation start date in all the assets with this new dep area.This can be done through customizing settings( transfer of dep terms) but then the useful life will also be identical to reference area(01) which client wants to change as per requirement and should not be same as reference area.
The other options are LSMW & BDC upload where i can do a mass upload for depreciation start date for all the assets.However I have not used this feature.
I would really appreciate if someone can help me with the steps.
Regards
Pranay

Hi,
To do the mass changes to the assets create a substitution in Asset Accounting in GGB1.
Asset Accounting - AM Master data mass change.
Create a step under the substitution with the required changes(take Deparea and Asset Classes in Prerequisite)
You would require multiple substitutions. Precisely one substitution for all the asset classes with the same set of Deprecation start date and Useful life.
In OA02 create new entry for the compny code.
In AR01select the assets for which the mass change needs to be done.
select the Create work list icon on appln tool bar. Name the work list. select Change asset w/o dialog (bulk change). Give the substition name that is created.
In AR31 give the worklist details
Select the Release Work List icon on the appln tool Bar.
the changes will be effective for the existing selected assets.
Try first in IDES before you do the actual changes. This will work.
Thanks,
Raja.

Dep start date need to be changed it is grayed out ,went to screen layout.

Hi
I wanted to change the dep start date in asset master data,but in DEp area tab the dep start date is grayed out.
I went to screen layout of asset master dep area..but where is the setting to change it to change mode.It has only the Req opt etc field.

Hi
First you see the screen layout assigned to the asset. use AS02 goto Environment -Screen Layout-Select Master Data. See what screen layout is using.Go to the screen layout and check whether this filed is optional or supprsed, if it is supprsed than make it optional.

Setting the Asset Value date as the dep start date

Hi,
I need to pick depreciation from the asset value date and NOT the dep start date in the asset master record. Is this possible? IF it is, then what config changes needs to be done.
Thanks

Hi
You can define that in the multi level method assigned to your depreciation key.
Assign points if the information is useful to you

Mass Update of Business Partner Data in CRM

Hi,
I would like to know how I can perform a mass update of business partner data in CRM and then have this replicated into R/3.
I have found notes 802804, 876602, 859632 but these only apply to CRM 5.0 and we are currently working on CRM 4.0. Does anyone know of anything similar which exists in CRM 4.0?
I have checked other posts and found help files links like the one below but is this only on CRM 5.0? (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/3c/9b56fae6c7424cafcdf17370399812/frameset.htm )
Has anyone used the tx. MASS in CRM?
Also our volume update levels is as high as 300,000 record and updating in CRM and replicating into R/3 through the middleware is causing performance problems.
Does anyone have any tips on the best approach for this? Many thanks.
Regards
JoJo

Mass not available in 4.0, could write your own LSMW routine but you still will create bdocs for updates so not sure how that will improve your performance.

Need to update the actual start date & time of a operation in workorder

Hi Experts,
I need to update the Actual Start date and Actual start time of a Operation of a WorkOrder through a Function Module.
I was looking into the BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN FM, but i couldn't find any field relating to the actual start date and start time of a operation.
Kindly Suggest me which Function module i can use to complete my task.
Thanks in Advance
bye

Hi,
It is system's standard behavior and no other MRP type will help you in moving the start date outside the planning time fence. With MRP type P3 new requirements are covered at the end of the fixing period, the end date is set and planed order is scheduled backword. Hence the start date will lie within the planning time fence.

Dynamic update of Planning Start Date in Planning Book

Hello.
Has anyone ever created a program to update the Planning Start Date of a Planning Book dynamically to the next Friday of the month for example?
The help information available for this field mentions a PDATE userexit, but I can not find it. Has anyone ever used it and has some examples to share?
Many thanks.
Aline Passos

Hi there,
I have never done this earlier. However i know that planning start date is stored in table /SAPAPO/PBDVWHDR-TBID_START. I tried changing this entry in the table and it correctly updated the dataview plannig start date.
So you may write a small program to update this field and it shall update the dataview.
Please let me know if this helps you.

Update of Planning Start Date does not update macros

I have written a program to update the planning start date in a planning book using function /SAPAPO/MSDP_PB_SAVE_DVIEW_TAB. I have included this in a process chain. The update is immediately followed by a /SAPAPO/TS_BATCH_RUN variant that runs a macro in the updated book. The macro uses planning start date. The issue is that the macro does not appear to have been updated with the new planning start date. I experimented with using transaction Define Planning Book (/SAPAPO/SDP8B) whilst also in Macro Workbench on another session. If I change the planning start date this is also not reflected in the macro unless I come out of the Macro Workbench completely and fo back in. This appears to be a buffereing issue.
Does anyone know if there is a way to force the macros to be updated? Otherwise I may have to resort to just putting a delay in the chain and hoping the maco will be updated before it is run.
Thanks

Hello Mani,
We have planning books used to calculate demand for newspapers at weekends. At weekends the papers contain printed colour magazines. These have to be ordered in advance. The macros that we run use planning start date to claculate the quntity of magazines required for the next weekend. The business also needs to do advanced calculation for the next two weekends. This requires an update to the planning start date to change the basis for the macros. We do not wish to write separate macros for each weekend as there are quite a few of them. We are trying to keep it as simple as possible.

Kindly help me.

There is no API to update effective Start Date column.
Your case falls into the type of data corruption in application tables. You either need to correct the data by yourself or take the help of Oracle support to correct the person data.
If you decide to correct the data without taking help from Oracle support, you can always take help of these forums in doing the same. we will be more than happy to help you. :)

Issue on Ordinary Depreciation Start Date and Disposal of Asset

Hi All.
I am facing the following the issues.
Fiscal Year is from July - June
First Problem: Company acquired the asset Vehicle on 26.Dec.2008. System proposes Ordinary Depreciation Start Date as 01.Jan.2009 rather then proposing Ordinary Depreciation Start Date as 01.Dec.2008.
Since depreciation for previous year has been posted the client later found out that instead of calculating depreciation for 7 months depreciation was only calculated for 6 months. I tried to manually change the dep. start date but the system doesnot update the previous years values, it's still calculating depreciation for 6 months and not 7 months. Is there anyway in updating the previous fiscal years depreciation values.
2nd Problem: I created a test case scenario today i.e. 16.09.2009 by creating and capitalizing an asset vehicle. Once I capitalized the asset the system automatically proposed the start date as 01.10.2009 and not 01.09.2009 which is what i require. What setting do i need to check or maintain in order to solve this issue because the user does not want to manually change the date each time an asset is created.
3rd Problem: Similar to this now when client disposes of an asset suppose on 10.Feb.2009 (FY2009). The system calculates depreciation till the month in which disposal takes place (February), the client does not want this, their requirement is that depreciation should be calculated one month before disposal takes place i.e. in this case Dep should be calculated till Month of January.
Your assistance will be highly appreciated.
Mohammed Ali Khan.

Hello Khan,
The depreciation start date will get determined based on the period control method assigned to depreciation key,
Period control methods are defined in transaction code : OAVH
In period control method we will mention the depreciation start date for acquisition, additions and also depreciation end date for disposals, retirements.
SAP has given some default period control keys. If any of these are not suitable to your requirement you can create on your own period control methods.

Change in start date of tax depreciation not for posting in mid of year

Hi Experts,
Tax depreciation area is not for posting. The fiscal year is from Jan to Dec. I want to calculate tax depreciation from May 2011 based on Net Book Value of tax depreciation as on 30.04.2011. But once I change the start date of tax depreciation in asset master to 01.05.2011, the system ignores the previous depreciation so I am not getting the NBV of tax depreciation of 30.04.2011.
Is any setting is required to get this. I can not do changes in posting rules since this tax depreciation is not for posting any thing.
The fiscal year 2010 is closed and NBV of tax depreciation as on 31.12.2010 of one asset is 80000, If I change the start date of tax depreciation from 1.1.2011 then system correcly take NBV of 31.12.2010 for further depreciation calculation. But if i change the start date of depreciation in between of year the system is calculating depreciation based on NBV of 31.12.2010 but ignores the tax depreciation from 1.1.2011 to 30.04.2011, which I previously run using AFAB.
Need your assistance to know is it feasible to do this.
Thanks and Regards,
Harshad

Hi Harshad
The behaviour of the system is very much correct, it is designed to behave that way...
One, you should not have changed the dep start date....
two, NBV in SAP is always taken to be NBV @ the start of the year....
The best wayout I can suggest here is, if you are on EhP4 and EA-FIN active
a. Change the Dep Key in the asset... You can maintain Time Dependant Dep Terms in asset master i.e. Dep Key X from Jan-Apr and Dep Key Y from MAy onwards
b. This will however, calculate dep based on NBV at the start of the year, but based on new useful life
c. Considering your eg: The system is posting more depreciation i.e. 5333 instead of 5155.... So, calculate this amount outside the system and post a Manual Write up ABZU inorder to reduce the Dep and increase the NBV
Even if you are on not on EhP4, you can follow the same approach as above.... i.e.
a. Change the Dep Key in asset master.... This will throw up new dep figure, on the basis of New Useful life and NBV at the start of the year
b. Post a write up from ABZU....
No need to do Asset to asset transfer in my opinion
Only diff between EhP4 and Non EhP4 is that the differential depreciation would be lesser if you are on EhP4... i.e. instead of 5333 now, system may throw up depreciation amount of 5666.. So, you may need to post write up of 5666-5155
