Methods of procuring an asset

Dear Friends,
I have gone through forum and reviewed all threads relating to capital/asset procurement but still i am unclear on the methods of procurement.
Can some one clearly give difference between why should we procure asset
1) with material code
2) without material code ( using short text instead)
I have referred the below thread Asset (Capital item purchase) for the same but have not found a precise reply for the same.
Please advise & help as this is one of the queries raised by our client..

Hi;
You can Procure asset with material code or without material code
As per my suggestion go with material code it will help much better to track everything related to asset
check following link it will clear you

Procurement of assets

Hi friends,
Our client wants to handle the procurement of assets like computers, tables, chairs etc.. I feel this can be handled thru projects. But is there any advantage if I handle it thru PS?
Normally how is this procurement handled?
This is a bit urgent. Please help.
regards
Pratap.V

Dear vishnu
Let me illustrate, there two types of scenarios
1) procurement of material, which needs to be capitalized. - Normally In this case(which are direct procurement type, ex: purchase of computer, chair, etc.), no need to use PS module. Its unneccarily complicating the process .
2) procurement of material or services/material with long lead times (generally more than 6 months) with part deliveries, part payments, etc which needs to be capitalized.(ex: construction of new plant, office building) - PS module functionalites are very helpful.

Procure to Asset Complete Cycle

Does anybody know all setups required to complete cycle from creating an item for asset ,creating PO, transfering asset to FA(rather than inventory) and paying this invoice etc .does any body have this test cycle-

1.Create an item that is purchasable but not inventory item and assign and expense account which is equal asset clear account the asset category of your choice.
2.Assign asset category to the item in the item master
3.Enter a PO for this item
4.Make sure accrue on receipt is not checked (which should be by default)
5.Check the distributions that the account is defaulting as the account you have chosen in the item master
5.Approve the PO
6.Match the PO to the invoice and see that the account that you have used in the PO distributions defaults into the invoice distributions.
7.Track as an asset flag should be checked here as well
8.Validate and account the PO and transfer that to GL.
9.Run the Mass Additions Create
10.Run Mass Additions Post in FA
11.Asset should be created.

Capturing of Excise for Procurement of Assets

Dear SAP Gurus,
When excise invoice is captured, material is a capital goods and the
material attracts more than two types of duty ( ex: BED and Education
cess) . Error "Balance in transaction currency " (F5 702) is
encountered while posting excise invoice if the duties are having odd
numbers.
Example: Total BED duty = 160.11, Total ECS duty = 3.23. Then while posting the excise invoice error message is encountered.
Our system is version 4.6C, and we have implemented SNote 763141 Note
763141 - Error: Balance in transaction currency - J1IEX.
We're not sure why we're still facing this error. Can you help? Will reward for any helpful suggestions. Thank you.
regards,
Jules

Hi Kedar,
My previous simulation shows that Debit and Credit Balance doesn't match because of this odd decimal reason. And when you do a simulation in J1IEX, it will be display mode, thus, user will not have a chance to adjust the values.
Any idea how to resolve it?
Thank you for your reply and time.

Budget Check against Asset Procurement

Hi,
We have defined the budget profile and assigned the same in the project and we have loaded the budget against WBS element of AED 10000 and we define the tolerance limits as below
Usage %    Indicator
75              Warning
85              Warning with mail
100            Error message
And also we assigned the same WBS element is asset master record and while we procuring the asset through PO for AED 9000 it is giving an error message of funds committments is less than 1500 by budgeted amount.And if we give lessthan AED 8500 it is working fine and also for more than AED 10000.
Why it is giving the error mesage number BP613 even the funds committments were less than budgeted amount.

You can achieve your requirement thru PSM-Funds Management , by creating commitment items, you can control the asset procurement.
First search on the web for the PSM-FM documentation and then configure it.
And for the Acc Assign Cate A, change the field statuses for FM related fields.

Capital Goods(Asset) Procurement

Hi all,
I have a scenario where company is procuring an asset and the vendor from which the company is procuring the Asset is sending that Asset in different parts like for a whole machinery the vendor is dismantling at its end and then assemble inside the client premisis but sending in different shipements
Now requirement is In the PO there is only one line item with Asset code, GR is to be done for all the Dismantled parts and for that parts material master is not maintained, on some of the dismantled parts excise entry is required.
When is Asset is assembled i have to show the GR entry for complete asset and have to update my RG23C register for both Part1 and Part2 entry.
How to map such a scenario??
Regards
Akshit

Dear ,
I feel u want to take the Credit for the Parts material.
In J1IEX use the option without PO & take the credit.
In this u don't ahve to create the material code,by using material Description of u can take the credit.
Pi. use this .

Asset calculate depreciation by unit of production method

Hello Everyone,
       since SAP go live , our SAP system use calcuation depreciation by straight line method in all asset class
but now we would like to change asset class "Machine" calculate depreciation by unit of production method .
we want all asset in asset class "Machine" have their own depreciation also.
such as Machine A can produce 10,000 unit in life time , 2014 period 1 produce 500 unit , 2014 period 2 produce 200 unit ,so each period have different depreciaiton value
Machine B can produce 300 unit in life time , 2014 period 1 produce 22 unit , 2014 period 2 produce 14 unit , so each period have different depreciation value
so each asset number should their own depreciation value.
I read some SAP document about unit of production calculation method such as http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/dd/ea2c7dd435d1118b3f0060b03ca329/content.htm
and other sources.
it's look like that SAP use depreciation key ,and transaction code AO25 ( to specify production unit in each period)
so if we have 10,000 asset number that want to use calculate depreciaiton by unit of production method.
do we have to configure 10,000 depreciation key and then use transaction code AO25 to specify production in each period ?
do we have better solution to calculate depreciation by unit of production ?     If possible we do not want to configure 10,000 depreciation key.
Thank you in advance

steps to process the procurement of Assets:
1. Create requisition ME51N
2. Release PR if release procedure applicable- ME54N
3. Create Asset Master by Finance department.- AS01
4. Create PO (ME21N) with ref to the requisition. Ensure that you select the Account assignment category as 'A'. Enter the asset number, in account assignment tab. The PO can be created without material or if it with material to keep a track on the stock, you can use Non-valuated material type.
5. Release PO - ME29N or ME28
6. Print PO (ME9F)
7. Carry out GR against the PO (MIGO)
8. Advise finance to update the Asset Master (AS02)

Asset material procurement

hai,
Anybody knows the procurement of Asset materials.
Tell me the steps from material creation to Invoice verific..
Thanks

U can do it many ways . For example
1) Non valuated( UNBW Material type) Material code can be created for this purpose and can be used for asset procurement . Probably this materials will have qty tracking . Procurement will happen with asset account assignment. when ever GR or IR is done , cost is booked to the asset.
2) U can procure the material and keep it in inventory and the material can be issued to the asset account from the inventory by movement type 241.
3) asset procurement can be done without creating the material also . in this case the tracking of the asset by material is not possible.
Based on the requirement , any one of the above can be adopted

Two procurement methods in B1

Hi,
Is it possible for us to have more than one procurement method in SAP B1? Instead of make and buy, can we have make/buy in one category? If no, is there an addon or anything we can do to make this possible?
Also another question is it possible to group production orders into similar groups like in the bom structure?
Thanks,
David

Hi David,
Not Possible to Create UDF on Planning Data Tab of Item Master for Planning Method or Procurement Method.
Please check with your Developer so that he can Create More Options with the help of SDK.
Hope this help

Exporting library assets to frame 1 causes delay

I'm fairly new to Actionscript 3, just trying to puzzle something out.
I have several small movie clips saved in the library of myCS4 Flash.fla file, I want to make them available to dynamically add to the display list as children, based on the button clicks of the viewer. I can get it all to work fine via Symbol Properties > Linkage > Export for Actionscript.
BUT - When the movie clips are set to "export for actionscript" from the Library, playback seems to hang on frame 1 until all of these exported assets have downloaded. The big problem is that I have an ultra-simple but totally custom preloader/progress animation coded in a loop in the second and third frames, which kicks out to frame 4 and continues playback as soon as the download is complete.
Because of this, the preloader has essentially become useless - because all that can be seen is several seconds of empty stage, until the vast majority of the bulky assets have downloaded. Then the preloader flashes onstage for just an instant, and disappears because the content is already up.
So, my questions are:
A) Is there a SIMPLE alternate method to load these library assets in such a way that it doesn't cause this major lag on frame 1?
B) Failing that, I suspect I may have to retool my preloader to run as an ENTER_FRAME event in frame 1. Is this worth the effort (can this potentially resolve the lag issue and allow for a meaningful preload progress animation, despite the lag from the asset export?)
Any advice, thoughts, ideas (sample code?) would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance,
</a>
**Edit follows**
OK, so after a little more research, I have basically answered this question for myself. I'm updating the post for the benefit of others who may find themselves in my shoes somewhere down the road.
The solution (as far as I can see) is to pretty much just avoid using the "Export for Actionscript" option for exporting assets to the timeline, as much as possible. Maybe it's fine for a few small assets, but not the best choice for large stuff, which in my case was the lions' share of the content!!
Or at least don't use the default setting of exporting to frame one!! This will likely foul up ANY preloader, because essentially Flash player will not display any of the content on frame one until ALL of the content on that frame has fully downloaded - You'll be stuck staring at an empty stage for ages, then when the preloader finally does show up on the stage and run, it will zip by in an instant while (probably) doing its job properly, but it's really only updating on the load progress of the balance of the SWF file.
The info I found suggested one easy method of making the assets available to Actionscript -- simply just place all of the required library assets into some unseen frame in the timeline, shortly AFTER your preloader runs. Then Flash Player will load them after the preloader has done its thing, and they will be available to be accessed by Actionscript later in the timeline when you really need them.
Also FYI -- I also tried changing the export settings to have Flash export the assets in question in frame four instead of frame one, with the unfortunate and unexpected result that my published SWF began skipping playback directly to frame four, which also effectively killed my preloader (which was running in frames two and three.) This glitch remained, even after reverting the export setting back to export the assets in frame one!! It seems like my .FLA file was irreversibly altered (contaminated??) by changing the export frame setting?!? Yikes!!
Luckily I had an earlier version saved under a different file name, it was relatively easy to go back to that version and bring it up to date.
Anyway - that's all for now. Hope this info can help someone else....

Asset acquisition value is not updated in Profit center as well as segment

Dear All,
I procured an asset through MM, (MIGO and MIRO). the acquisition value is updated in the asset master as well as GL account. but no value is updated in the profit center and related segment.
I did the following (using ECC 6, document spiltting activated)
1. Asset master data created and cost center assigned. Profit center is assigned in the Cost center and Segment is assigned in the profit center master data.
1. me21n - po created
2. MIGO - done
3. MIRO - done.
Can any one help me to solve this issue
Looking forward your valuable reply
Thanks in advance
regards
Govan

Hi
Please check whether cost center is suppressed field for the respective GL Account. Also it seems that you have not made profit cneter as mandatory field. Goto IMG> Financial Accounting (New) > General Ledger Accounting (New) > Business Transactions > Document Splitting > Define Document Splitting Characteristics for General Ledger Accounting . Here you can make the mandatory field as per requirement.
Warm Regards

JE Passed in case of Standard valuation method in 2007B

Dear All,
I am bit confused---
The scenario is i have done one transaction for A/P invoice.The JE passed in case of A/P invoice & in case of item having valuation method standard & procurement method make is hitting material variance account instead of hitting inventory account since the tax say cst is inventoried.This issue is occurring only in case of standard valuation method.In case of other valuation method the accounting entry is correct, so what might be reasons behind it.
Also, if anyone could provide me sap portal link which will help me out to identify the changes which took place in different PL's.
Regards-
Mona.

Hi Mona ,
The quick thing is to check :
1. What is the standard price of the item
2. Is your GRPO price is difference than AP invoice
Everytime you purchase it will check against your standard price and if it is different it his variance account .
Hope this helps
