OAT: asset retirement, how to automate?

we are using Oracle Asset Tracking module, we need to do mass asset retirement, is there a interface table, or concurrent program, or API that we can specifically use/call?

Hi,
FA have the option for mass retirements via a GUI.
- Mass Transactions
- Create and Reinstate
You can use these functionality.
If you will automate these, have a look into the tables of the mass retirements and insert the data via a script.
The you must only post the mass retirements.

How to use 2 GL for loss made on asset retirement w/o revenue ?

how to use 2 GL for loss made on asset retirement w/o revenue.
hello everyone
i have some trouble.
my company want to use 2 GL account for asset retirement
example some time use GL 6500001 some time use 6500002
in standard configuration AO90 , field loss made on asset retirement w/o revenue, there is only one field.
so i can use only one G/L.
it' s not good if i must to change configuration (and transport request )every time that user need to change GL.
now i got one idea.
i know that table T095 keep account determinaton and GL account data.
so if i make program that change data from table T095 directly. i donot need to change config everytime.
but i am not sure that this way will make impact other standard program or not.
i will wait for better idea from everyone.
please help.

Substitution consist of several steps each with two parts:
1- Prerequisite
2- Replacement
If the prerequisite is satisfied (TRUE), substitution (Replacement) is performed.
Transaction Code: OBBH.

Asset Retirement - Tax Code specification [F-92]

In transaction F-92 Asset retirement with Customer, the system generates automatically the line for the "Gain account " defined in Asset Class: Assign G/L Accounts (AO90).
How can we specify a Tax code to be used for this Gain/Loss account? By defining this in G/L master does not work.
For example
Lin PK BAre G/L Account TaxCode
001 01 0107 20192756 [Customer]
002 50 0107 7200900000 50
003 75 0107 1304020700
004 70 0107 1399040207
005 40 0107 7200900000
006 50 0107 8103030000
In the above example the 8103030000 represents the GAIN account. This line is automatically generated by SAP F-92 transaction. How can we instruct the system to use TaxCode 50 ?
Thanks for any hint

hi,
try it with creating a substitution with transaction OBBH.
if bseg-hkont = '7200900000' and sy-tcode = 'F-92'.

Asset Retirement: Asset Sale without customer (ABAON)

Hi Experts,
While posting Asset Retirement in ABAON, error occurs as "SYST: You can not determine the period for rule 02 to 23.03.11".
Here we are retiring 3 assets. One from one asset class & other 2 from another asset class.
for the 1st Asset Class- period ctrl. method is 006 and in T-code AFAMP, in retirement column rule for 006 is defined as 11, which means "Next Month". AND...........
for 2nd Asset class- period ctrl. method is 003 and in T-code AFAMP, in retirement column rule for 003 is defined as 02, which means "Pro Rata upto mid-period at period start date."
Now I think problem is there for 2nd asset class as rule 02 can not determine the period according to error.
Please explain the logic? What axactly system is saying? and how can I solve this issue?
Regards,
Nilesh

Hi Nilesh
Nice to know the issue has been resolved.
OAVH is used to determine the relationship between posting intervals and periods in the given fiscal year version. The assignment entries in OAVH have to be changed in the following cases:
u2022 You use period control rules you defined yourself.
u2022 You change the definition of the periods in the fiscal year version in Financial Accounting.
As you noticed, case you use a year-dependent fiscal year variant, then you have to perform OA84 to generate period controls properly.
For more information, you can refer to IMG documentation in following IMG menu path:

Problem in Posting Parked Document for Asset Retirement

Please suggest what is the problem and how to solve it.
Thanks & Regards
Shripal

Hi Sridevi
Thanks for the reply
It may be possible that I had not ticked Indicator Post retirement of assets directly ?
But the real problem is that I while trying to post the parked document this field is not available. I have alread mentioned the fields which were originally available while parking but now they are not available while posting.
Please suggest what should be done to make these fields visible while posting. If I try to create new document these field are available. They are only not available when parked document is posted.
Thanks & Regards

Asset Retirement or Shut Down

Hi Gurus,
We have a store that was burned out by fire last 2009. The asset continues to depreciate in SAP upto now.
Should we use asset shutdown or asset retirement for this asset? A new store was built in replacement to the damaged store.
The damage will be paid by the insurance company. Kindly advise if we will use asset shutdown or retirement and then set-up a new asset for the new store built?
Thanks,
Ellicec

Hi Atif,
Thank you very much for your immediate reply.
However, I have a few questions. What if we do not want to recognize any gain from the payment made by the insurance company? Also, how are we going to treat the depreciation postings made after the fire incident?
Regards,
Ellicec

Please elaborate me the mechanism of Asset Retirement

Hi,
Please elaborate me the mechanism of Asset Retirement
Thanks

Hi,
Please go thru the following document if it is helpful.
Asset Retirement:
Purpose
Asset retirement is the removal of an asset or part of an asset from the asset portfolio. This removal of an asset (or part of an asset) is posted from a bookkeeping perspective as an asset retirement. Depending on organizational considerations, or the business transaction which leads to the retirement, you can distinguish the following types of retirement:
An asset is sold, resulting in revenue being earned. The sale is posted with a customer.
An asset is sold, resulting in revenue being earned. The sale is posted against a clearing account.
An asset has to be scrapped, with no revenue earned.
An asset is sold to an affiliated company (refer to Manual Posting of Intercompany Asset Transfer/Retirement)
Process Flow
There are transactions and transaction types in the system for these different retirement types.
Asset Retirement
Asset Sale with Customer
The system enables you to post the entry to Accounts Receivable, the revenue posting and the asset retirement in one step. In this posting transaction, you have to post the revenue (debit A/R, credit revenue from asset sale) first, and then post the asset retirement. An indicator in the posting transaction specifies that the system posts the asset retirement after the revenue posting.
The prerequisite for this is that the sales revenue account in Financial Accounting, to which the revenue should be posted, has a field status variant in its master data in which the Asset retirement field (category Asset Accounting) is defined as a required or optional entry field. You define the field status variant in Customizing for Financial Accounting (Financial Accounting Global Settings ® Document ® Line Item ® Controls).
Posting of Gain or Loss
When you use the standard transaction types, the system automatically creates a gain posting or a loss posting, as well as a revenue clearing entry, in addition to the asset and accumulated depreciation correction postings. This gain/loss posting, as well as the revenue posting, are not dependent on the transaction type. The automatic creation of these postings is controlled by the Gain/loss from retirement indicator in the definition of the transaction type. You can also choose not to set this indicator, in which case you have to enter the postings manually.
In an exceptional situation, an integrated asset retirement with revenue can also be posted although the asset does not have APC in the master depreciation area.
For more information on ways of posting gain and loss, see Posting Gain/Loss.
Retirement Without Revenue
A retirement without revenue is the removal of an asset from the asset portfolio without any revenue, for example, by scrapping. When you use this posting option, the system does not create revenue and gain/loss postings. Instead it creates a Loss from an asset retirement without revenue posting in the amount of the net book value being retired.
Complete/Partial Retirement
An asset retirement can refer to an entire fixed asset (complete retirement) or part of a fixed asset (partial retirement). In both cases, the system automatically determines, using the asset retirement dates entered, the amounts to be charged off for each depreciation area. You can initiate the partial retirement of a fixed asset by entering one of the following:
The amount of the acquisition and production costs being retired
A percentage rate
A quantity
When you enter the amount of APC that is being retired, the system determines the percentage to be retired from the asset using the first depreciation area in which posting is to take place. It determines the percentage amount of APC being retired in that area, and uses the same percentage for other areas. You can enter a quantity, provided that you have not specified a retirement amount or percentage rate. The system interprets the quantity as a ratio to the total quantity of the asset and thereby determines the asset retirement percentage rate. If necessary, you can also manually correct the retirement amounts that were calculated by the system in individual depreciation areas. The system then recalculates the retirement amounts for that area, and any areas that are dependent on that area.
The asset value date of the retirement is recorded in the asset master record. You cannot post any transactions with a value date before the value date of the last retirement. If you nevertheless need to post such a transaction, you must first reverse all retirements that lie after the value date of the belated posting. After posting the belated transaction, you can then re-post the retirements.
Transaction Type (Prior-Year Acquisitions/Current-Year Acquisitions)
Make sure that you select the correct transaction type for both partial and complete retirement. For the complete retirement of a fixed asset acquired in previous years, always select a transaction type intended for prior-year acquisitions. A partial retirement can always relate either to prior-year acquisitions or to current-year acquisitions.
The complete retirement of a fixed asset is only possible if all transactions to the asset were posted with a value date before the asset value date of asset retirement. You must clear or reverse down payments and investment support measures, which are in the same posting year as the retirement, before you post the complete retirement.
Prior-year asset acquisitions and current-year acquisitions are shown separately from one another in the document.
Proportional Value Adjustments
Based on the value date and period control, the system automatically determines the reference period for the retirement. The system automatically determines any depreciation (value adjustments) that is applicable to the part of the asset being retired, up to the reference period (retirement). The system automatically retires this depreciation at the time of the retirement transaction. This procedure guarantees that the percentage of the book value that is retired is identical with the percentage of the acquisition and production costs that is retired.
Graphic: Determining Proportional Value Adjustments
The system automatically posts the proportional value adjustments retired during an asset retirement. You can specify special transaction types for this automatic posting. You enter these transaction types in the Customizing definition of the retirement or transfer transaction types (Value adjustments function). These special transaction types for the proportional value adjustments are particularly important for group consolidations, so that the individual transaction can be identified as retirement of transfer.
The standard transaction types delivered by SAP are already defined in this way. The system uses the transaction type 290 for proportional values with retirements. For transfers it uses transaction types 390/395 (transfer retirement/acquisition).
Retirement of Low Value Assets
There are special considerations for the retirement of low value assets (LVAs). It is usually necessary to simplify the business transactions involved, due to the large number of assets that are being retired. It is not necessary to actually post the retirement of low value assets in order for the assets transactions to be displayed correctly in the asset history sheet. It is possible to simulate the retirements of low value assets during a time period you specify. Enter the LVA asset classes and the simulation time period in the initial screen of the asset history sheet (see Asset History Sheet).
If you want to actually post the retirement of low value assets, use the usual procedure for asset retirements.
Retiring Several Asset Subnumbers Simultaneously
The system enables you to post the complete retirement of several subnumbers of a fixed asset in one step (generic entry using an asterisk (*) in the subnumber field). The system performs asset postings and value adjustment postings for each sub-number.
Sales revenue is proportionally allocated to the individual sub-numbers according to their acquisition value (including revaluation).
Retirement of Assets with Investment Support
For information on the special concerns involved when retiring assets with investment support, see Investment Support on the Liabilities Side and Investment Support Managed on the Assets Side .
Retirement Costs
It is possible to enter the costs of the retirement (for example, removal costs) for statistical purposes during the retirement posting. The standard report for asset retirements (Information System) then displays these costs in a special field. Note that gain/loss and retirement costs are shown separately in the report. In addition, the retirement costs are not automatically transferred to cost accounting.
Mass Retirement
When an enterprise sells a large portion of its fixed assets (such as a plant or a building), it is necessary to post the retirement of all the individual assets which make up the whole. Since the number of affected assets can be very large, the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) component makes it possible to make the necessary postings using mass processing. For more information, see Mass Retirement.
Thanks,
Prithwiraj.

OB52 Posting Period Close: Does anyone know how to automate the close?

Does anyone know how to automate the FI Period Close (trans code OB52)? Currently, the business users go into the screen and open and close any periods manually. For the MM period close, we are able to do so because we found the program to use in the batch job. For some reason, the FI side shows the program SAPL0F00 but this is only a view and will not allow a batch job to be created. Does anyone know of the actual program used for the FI period close?

Use program RFPERIOD_OPEN. It may help. For further details you may check the following thread.
